New in Mr. Tides 4.3.5 Build 580 (Nov 21, 2015)

New in Mr. Tides 4.3.0 Build 555 (Jan 6, 2015)
- Fixed a number of issues, including:
- The auto-updater wasn't working on prior versions due to problems with Apple's security systems. We've been able to fix that problem, finally!
- The database updates were going to the wrong location so the app would continue to prompt you to download them.
- Fixed several problems with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and the app no longer crashes when you launch it on that system.
New in Mr. Tides 4.2.0 Build 540 (Sep 3, 2014)

New in Mr. Tides 4.0.2 Build 502 (Nov 13, 2012)
- This release fixes an issue when changing units and 'feet' is skipped.
New in Mr. Tides 3.0 R16 (Apr 16, 2008)
- Updated the harmonics files to remove duplicate stations caused by importing all the old NOAA stations. They changed a lot of the station names, so there were a lot of duplicates. Unfortunately, this will affect some saved stations - they won�t be found in the databases and so won�t open.
- Current substations compute their slack times correctly now. Before, in certain cases the slack times were out of order and caused Mr. Tides to either crash or not display any data.
- Fixed a bug when the first entry in the text view was astronomical, it would show the tide events under a duplicated date after the astronomical entry.
- Text view now finds the correct top three maximum and minimum events.
- Printer settings for orientation and scale are now saved for the Day, Calendar, and Text views (Clock view can't be printed. If you try, it will just return to the application and not do anything).
- Changing the printer settings no longer asks twice if you want to save the changes.
New in Mr. Tides 3.0 R15 (Dec 6, 2007)
- Fixed a bug with subordinate current stations where the slack times were computed incorrectly.
- Added a tinted section underneath the curve on the Month view to distinguish the tides better.
- Implemented a way to reset a saved station when the station�s name has been changed in the harmonics data files.
- Added many more U.S. subordinate current stations (about 2,000 of them).
New in Mr. Tides 3.0R13 (Oct 10, 2007)
- A spinning beachball of death when changing the text view layout has been fixed.
- The text view now highlights today's date in blue and scrolls it to the center of the text view.
- Date pickers for the text and calendar views now work correctly when today's date is at the end of the month but the station's time zone sets the date to the next month.
- Month names are now displayed on the calendar.
- A crash when quickly and repeatedly changing the date on either the calendar or the text views has been fixed.
- Anchor Aid now adjusts the anchor rode scope to account for the height of the anchor fitting above the water.
- Opening Mr. Tides from MacENC or GPSNavX now displays the Find By Distance dialog instead of opening the closest station. This way the user can select the station they want to open.
New in Mr. Tides 3.0R12 (Sep 26, 2007)
- My home-grown astronomical routines have been replaced by the Skycal code from XTIDE. Now the times for the moon and the sun are much more accurate, especially for high-latitude stations around the solstices and equinoxes. In addition, days when the sun or the moon is either never above the horizon or always above the horizon are displayed correctly.
- The shape of the moon display on the day view now reflects whether the moon is waxing or waning.
