Real time saver for those whom are building many meal plans or those whom would like to change their multiple food items. (Thanks Tom!) - Bug fix: Recipe name changes weren't being propagated to the detail ingredients. Fixed: Put in a Recipe Name change option to handle it. Kathleen's Diet Planner 14.2, Jan 22, 2007- Added a "Nutrient Averages" report. You can pick the date range, which nutrients to display and it will report the nutrient goals, nutrient averages, total nutrient along with a confidence level to indicate how many records have values for the nutrient.. (Thanks Wendy) - Fixed a bug: If you edited the METS in the Exercise Library for an exercise that you had chosen in the exercise editor drop down list, the new value for METS would not appear in the editor unless you selected a different record and then returned to the exercise you were on.

Was causing an exception on some systems. - Redid the Shopping List: Put in the New Grid with Styles, added the ability to convert measures, redesigned the window. Before, when you added items to the Shopping list, it would add multiple entries for the same food if the unit was different for those same-name food entries. Now, all identical food items with different units of measure add into the first identical food while recalcuting correctly the amount and grams for that unit of measure. Kathleen's Diet Planner 14.1 Jan 6, 2007- Changed the numeric grid fields so they are not exported to Excel as strings, but numbers in most grids.

No more abbreviations! - Added the Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) to the nutrient specifications (measure of acidity/alkalinity). Added PRAL to meals, charts, totals, reports and recipes.. You won't find this in any other Diet Application. PH balancing dieters and people concerned with bone loss will love this. - Redesigned the DRI table.

New style grid, new format for fields and a new report. - DRI Plans can now be saved to files and shared with other KDiet users. - Redesigned the Percent Daily Values Plan Editor. - Redesigned the Weight Plan in the people database.

As requested by Bill. - New error message if opening the "Percent Daily Value Editor" with no foods in the Favorites. Version 13.1, Aug 16, 2006- Added the carry-through of the Find in the Food Database to the Advanced Find edit box - Optimized the Advanced Find method so it is much faster. - Fixed the "Find Ingredient" grid so you can double click on it to go to that recipe. - KDiet now installs to a separate entry in Control Panel's "Add or Remove Programs" - Fixed a bug that, when you first install and start KDiet and there is no \style directory, if you opened the Advanced Find and then closed it, you'd get a message stating that the file was not found and you had to kill KDiet..

Introduced in KDiet 12.4.

Version 12.4, April 2, 2006Bug Fixes - Resolution of ini wars. If you customized the Grids in the Favorites, Food DB or Recipe Chest, under certain conditions your changes were lost and the grids' appearances and styles reverted back to stock. This has been fixed. Thanks goes to Margaret S. for finding this bug and helping me identify how to replicate it. - In the Progress Tracker report, if you selected a date range which had only empty meal days in the meal-day grid (days with no food items in them), it caused an exception (divide by zero error) and the progress tracker report would not run. This has been fixed. - You can no longer enter a food item with a missing "Grams g" value. Every food item should have a weight value and now it is being enforced. You cannot add food items from your Favorites to meals, recipes or the food database without a gram weight. Gram Weights are used for conversions if the unit of measure is unrecognizable, and also used in the data upgrade functions. - If you changed the time or meal name in a record in the meal-day grid and then right-clicked on the same record, the pop-up menu would appear giving you options even though the changes to the record had not been saved.

Now you have the option to select how many servings of a recipe to add to the shopping list. - Activated the buttons in the email address and website fields in the Recipe Chest so that they start up the respective programs. - Optimized the "Change Person Name" function in the People Database. - Added a menu selection to delete all ini files in one click, thereby resetting all grids, charts, styles customizations to factory default. Version 12.3, Sep 20, 2005Bug Fix - Sometimes if you imported a meal-day when the totals grid was visible, only the first record from the import loaded. A workaround was to hide the totals grid before importing. This bug has been fixed. (Thank Ken for finding this one!) - Added a "Delete Selected" to the Favorites Food DB Grid pop-up menu. Version 12.2, Sep 15, 2005Bug Fix - The 'Grams_g' was missing from the Food Editors for the Food DB and the Favorites. A work around was to add the grams_g by using the grid. The Grams_g field has been added to the food editors now. - The Add To Meal dialog would crash if the Windows Regional Settings' time format separator was set to the Italian format of a period instead of a colon (. instead of :). Fixed. - The Outputs section of the Help for the Recipe Chest has been corrected. Version 12.1, Sep 8, 2005Bug Fix- In demo mode, if you tried to add more than 5 foods to a day and received the message stating that you can't unless you unlock the software first, the meal-day grid and totals grid were left in a state which was unstable. You would get exceptions for any reason and the grids did not work properly. Sometimes you had to kill the program to break out of the exceptions depending on what you did after getting the message. This has been fixed. - If you tried to add the same food to the same meal and time, after receiving the warning message, the meal-day grid and totals grid were left in a state which was unstable. You would get exceptions for any reason and the grids did not work properly. This has been fixed. Version 12, Aug 19, 2005List of changes:- New style with choice of styles.
