Version 2.0
I am pleased to announce that Child Version 2.0 went RTW (release to world) shortly after 8am on August 31, 2003. Code named Hannah, this project was then result of an extremely laborious process by lead developer Carrie Warren. Project manager M. Keith Warren was really only involved at the very beginning. This new version includes a number of new features and bug fixes.
BUG Fixes
- KBCriestoomuch - system was changed so that dissatisfaction and hunger are expressed through a complex, non-verbal notification system. It should however be noted that this changed is yet to be tested.
- KBPoopsalot - new garbage collection system was implemented that allows the system to clean dirty areas without user intervention. Once again, this feature has not been tested.
New Features
- Hibernation - Unlike similar systems, version 2 contains a hibernation feature which allows the application to remain dormant for extended periods of time. Market research proves that the average system can only achieve 4 hours in this comatose state, but Version 2 sets a new standard by tripling the average and crossing the 12 hour barrier. (We make no guarantees related to the status of System.Sun when System.Hibernation kicks in. Early user feedback has shown that the feature often does kick in when the status is System.Sun.Status.Down, but we have reports of the feature getting inverted. Please read KBUpallNight for a workaround if you encounter this.)
- IntelliMilk™ - this unique, trademarked, patent pending system allows the system to literally take control of the protein input process thus removing the need to user intervention. Just hand the input device to the system and it will run the process from there.
- Lower TCO - this utilization of previously licensed add-ons and various third party components will enable the system to operate at a much lower overall cost than version 1. This HandMeDown technology should only improve with future versions.
