Network graph now shows traffic for all interfaces except lo0. Fixed display bug in battery graph when switching batteries. Fixed bug in weather graph not displaying dewpoints less than 0 degrees. Weather graph now handles NULL values returned at times by dropping those points and just continuing to the next one, resulting in a smoother graph. Changed the timer code so timers are named more appropriately. Fixed a bug in the weather module that would kill the secondary graph. Fixed a bug in XRGGenericView to prevent drawing outside a specified rect. Added the ability to select which network interface to monitor (or all interfaces). Fixed a bug in the network graph caused by the bsd network counters wrapping around the limit of an unsigned integer. Fixed a bug with the drop shadow showing up on launch when it's disabled in the preferences. Fixed a bug where updating the graph refresh time dropped the timer and froze the graph (caused by updating the timer code above). Made changes to the battery graph code to hopefully have better support for Powerbooks with multiple battery bays. Added option to allow users to set the window title. Fixed bug with memory graph showing static values on some machines. (Thanks to Alex Harper, coder of MenuMeters, for debugging help.)
	XRG 0.3.0 Updated Memory graph to use XRGGenericView. Added CPU Temperature display for supported processors. Fixed resizing bug while the graph is along the right edge of the screen. Updated Weather graph to use XRGGenericView. Added ability to invert the read or write graph in the disk module. Added option to turn drop shadows on/off for the XRG window. Fixed bug caused by changing the orientation without saving and then reloading XRG. Changing the graph orientation is now saved in the preferences immediately. Graph will now automatically resize itself bigger if the window is small and the user enables more modules. Fixed bug caused by Yahoo CSV change in stock graph. Fixed memory leak when stock graph couldn't parse the data correctly. Fixed bug where weather pressure as a secondary graph would not show up if the pressure from the weather data was in hectopascals. Fixed bug where weather pressure float value was being casted as an integer. Made the vertical scale of the secondaryy humidity graph to be 0-100%. Now if weather or stock graphs are disabled, XRG won't load data for the module upon opening the application. Fixed a problem with the temperature code. Apparently, some CPUs report temperatures that bounce up to 10 degrees, so XRG will now buffer the change a little bit by only updating the temperature by 10% of the difference of consecutive readings. Fixed bug with DJIA not being displayed (Yahoo changed the symbol used to gather DJIA data). Optimized text drawing in the memory, disk, and network graphs. XRG 0.2.2 Fixed bug causing "Message length no good" to be printed to the console. (Patch by Anthony Hodsdon, Thanks to Mats Weber for helping find the bug in the code) Reversed the order of the memory graph captions so that it matches the order of the side graph. Fixed a bug preventing the window from being moved into the dock screen area. Now if there is only one stock graph, XRG won't highlight the stock symbol and price. Changed + and - in the stock graph to an up or down arrow. If there are too many stocks to display text for, the graph will show a down arrow to let users know there are more selected. Added online help. XRG 0.2.1 Preference panel now hides a view before switching to a new one. Added text labels at the top of each preference view. Added restrictions so the window does not move off screen when dragging or altering the graph orientation. Created a new icon. Tightened down the graph size to allow for smaller windows. Fixed a bug with window disappearing. Added functionality to save and load color themes. Turned off "Generate profileing code" in Project Builder, so XRG won't create /gmon.out files when quitting. ppp0 traffic is now shows in the network graph. (Code by Anthony Hodsdon) Added the ability to show the window floating above all others. (Code by Anthony Hodsdon) Added sticky window functionality. Changed the preferences interface for the network min scale. Fixed a bug with the weather data not always updating in the case of a URL load hanging up. Fixed a bug that happened while resizing the window and hitting the edge of the visibleFrame. Added version checking. Re-organized the source tree. Modified XRG to renice itself to 10 so it stays out of the way when the CPU is chugging. (Code by Anthony Hodsdon) Created an icon for XRG Theme Files. Added an XRGGenericView class to help modules draw their graphs. (Code by Anthony Hodsdon) Modified XRGCPUView and XRGNetView to use the new XRGGenericView class. (Code by Anthony Hodsdon) Added error checking for saving and loading themes. Fixed a bug that prevented loadURLInForeground from returning an error. Added option in the preferences to invert either the network RX or TX graph. Fixed a bug where rxValues and txValues weren't getting updated correctly when the net bandwidth peaked. Fixed a bug preventing the window to be moved to a secondary monitor. Added split graph for disk reads and writes. Modified XRGDiskView to use the new XRGGenericView class. Reorganized methods in XRGGraphWindow. XRG 0.2.0 New stock market graph. Redesigned preferences panel to use a NSToolbar (allows more preference panels to fit in a small window). Added ability to monitor multiple stock symbols and cycle the graph. Optimized some of the drawing methods (Uses 20-40% less CPU than version 0.1.5). Restructured the module management. Graphs now register with a module manager which will allow for quicker development of future modules. Also lays the framework for graph re-ordering (coming soon). XRG 0.1.5 Max CPU usage in fast graph on a dual CPU machine is now 100% (not 50%). Tertiary color is now saved. Separators used in the CPU and memory graphs are now the border color instead of black. Fast timer is now enabled only when using the fast CPU graph. Window resizing is now smoother. Added feedback/bug report links and website link to About Dialog. "Begin Loading" and "Finished Loading" are no longer printed to the console. Graphs recalculate their max values when resizing the window. Made primary color in disk graph Foreground Color 1. Added preference to modify the graph refresh rate. Fixed the minimum size restrictions so it's based on how many graphs are showing. It's now possible to show just one module in a small square graph. Added load average display in the CPU graph (enable/disable in the preferences.) Window background now updates colors properly. Added a handler to automatically update the weather graph when the system wakes up from sleep mode. Added option for minimum scale on network graph. Now when weather module has Invalid Data because of a network outage, it will attempt to fetch new data every 5 minutes instead of every half hour as usual. XRG 0.1.4 Added Celsius temperature units option in the preferences. Added Kilometer distance units option in the preferences. Added hecto Pascal pressure units option in the preferences. Fixed bug causing most international ICAO stations to show "Invalid Data." Added ability to enable/disable modules. Added memory graph. Optimized text drawing in graphs.
