Distributing CronniX
Don't hesitate to contect me if you want to include CronniX on a CD-ROM or other distribution media. While CronniX is free for redistribution, I'd be interested where and how it's distributed.
If you're writing about CronniX or mentioning it in an article, drop me a line if you have any questions or just want to inform me.

I've included Damien's translations as it was the latest -- in order to prevent folks from independently translating CronniX please always check back with me if there's an updated localized variant that's not released yet. There have been several occasions where I had to choose between translations and believe me there's little justice I can do your fine work with most of the languages you translate CronniX to :))

- Fixed a bug that writes the system crontab to "/>" in addition to "/etc/crontab". The unix guys will know what happened - I refuse to comment ;-)
1.4 - August 2, 2001
- Added quotation marks for inserted programs with whitespace in their name.
- Added support for system crontab.
- Fixed problem when trying to open another user's non-exsiting crontab.
- Added toolbars.

1.3 - June 3, 2001
- Fixed a bug that caused CronniX too complain when there's no crontab (opening for different user only)
- Improved "Open For User" such that users other than "root" can open other user's crontabs (after authorizing).
- Added support for environment variables.
1.2 - March 27, 2001
- Fixed a bug that prevented rereading of a crontab if CronniX is restarted too fast.
- Added "Insert pogram" menu item to complement the drag and drop feature. You can now also select a program/script (actually any file) to be inserted as a command.
- Minor interface changes, e.g. changed button label from "Write" to "Save", added a "Save" menu item with shortcut.
- And yes, CronniX runs on OSX 10.0 (final, retail, GM, 4k78 or whatever you prefer to call it ;-)
1.1 - December 26, 2000
- Drag and drop support. As suggested by a user, CronniX now features drag and drop. Upon dropping a text selection on a line, it is inserted as a command in the command field. If you drop a file its name is inserted along with a prepended "open". This can be used to insert AppleScripts. If the drop is not on a line but rather the table view, a new line is inserted.
- Open for different user. The file menu item "Open For User" will open a dialog that allows you to open another user's crontab. Note that you have to be super user ("root") to be able to do this. Crontab (the underlying unix tool) will deny access to other user's crontabs for any user but the super user.
- Online help.
- Rewritten in Objective C. This makes CronniX start up faster and use less memory than the Java version.
1.0 - December 7, 2000
- Initial release (Java version)
