ASiddur project still alive

Despite the appearances on the blog and on the project web page, I haven't given up working on ASiddur. I've mostly gotten through a very busy period at work, and in the meantime, added to the size of my family, both of which diverted my attention temporarily from the project.

In the short term, I'm going to concentrate on fixing a couple of small bugs (V'Sein Tal Umattar appearing a year early and some very minor text issues), and releasing a newer stable version with the reminder ticker and full-screen support.

Once that's done, I plan on writing some unit tests for the automatic test calculation code. (The reason that there aren't existing unit tests is that I could never seem to make it run for the J2ME parts of the project. But at least the encoding is done in J2SE and can be tested separately. There could easily be mistakes that I missed when looking at the hex dump of the resulting output.)
