Caterpillar Updated – Brings Back 5 Icon And Reflective Dock
Some nice Caterpillar updates have been implemented. People upgrading to 1.1.3 and up lost the ability to use the plist hack to use the reflective dock along with having a 5 icon dock. Rip Dev have brought those features back with version 1.1. One other notable feature that was added was the change to the calendar screen. You now have the ability to display events for the next 7 days.
1.1 ChangeLog (Mar 7, 2008)
- Ability to request a trial to try out the product for a few days for free.
- Improved the installer.
- Small fixes and tweaks on all the components.
- Recurring events are now supported;
- Ability to select default mode: events or calendar;
- Ability to turn off mode switching by clicking, so you can only see events or calendar;
- The events for up to the next 7 days are displayed now (but no more than 7 on the screen);
- The events view is wider now;
- Fixed a visual glitch with a light line on the bottom of the calendar;
- Fixed a bug with the volume slider not functioning in the iPod control mode.
- 5-icons Dock support for firmware 1.1.3 and newer;
- Ability to turn enable Reflective Dock;
- Ability to turn off Dock background;
- Ability to make status bar opaque;
- Dark faceplates for the icon titles (nice for light backgrounds).
- Ability to hide only the message text or both the sender and the text in the addition to the “standard” options.
- The phone is only waking up to make a notification to conserve the battery.
- Ability to dial a number from the Smart Dialer (including the plus sign, and */# symbols);
- Improved the search speed;
- Ability to choose the keypad language;
- Added an option to include the region code when searching for phone numbers;
- Added an option to delay the search until the designated number of characters is entered;
- Vibration is only done for 0.5 seconds per key press instead of the entire duration.
