v1.5 [Nov 2, 2008]
The interface has experienced numerous improvements that make working with BTP easier than ever. One example is how 1.5 handles units of measure. BTP 1.0 combined a text field and a popup menu to store a value and its corresponding unit of measure. This was a very flexible way to handle units, but 1.5 greatly improves on it by eliminating the units popup menu. How are units entered now? One way is to type the unit abbreviation after the value. If the abbreviation is omitted the current unit is used. Additionally, unit conversions can be done even easier now. Simply right-click on the value and a menu with list all of the possible conversions appears. Converting the value is just a matter of selecting from the list! To match the power of the new method of unit conversion, we have implemented a few more enhancements:
• New toolbar with buttons for managing recipe files, folders, and printing.
• New assets library for storing recipes, ingredients, equipment and other items just a mouse-click away.
• Contents list for displaying the contents of assets folders.
• New info panel for immediate access to recipe and ingredient specifics including detailed descriptions and analysis data.
• Values can be edited directly in the ingredient, equipment, and other lists.
• Fully drag-n-drop capable for moving ingredients in and out of recipes.
• The graphs next to fermentables and hops can be dragged to change their respective ingredient proportions.
• Recipe management within BeerTools Pro.
• Inventory tracking, comparison and recipe deduction.
• New dilution tool.
• Demo version licenses.
