Hi everyone, Today we replaced the clock app with a rewrite that has been in the works for about 2-3 months called *Clock Reboot*. Clock Reboot was in the stores for some time now as a tech preview. The feedback from the early testers were overall positive and found it to be a good improvement over the old clock app *Clock Legacy*. The rewrite helped me avoid some mistakes that I made with Clock Legacy and fix some long standing bugs. I have also been dog fooding Clock Reboot myself for over a month and waking up to it :-), so it should work as expected.
Some of the most significant improvements you will notice with Clock Reboot are, - Revamped design bringing it in line with other system apps like dialer, address-book etc. - Stable, reliable World Clocks feature - Granular alarm controls (vibration, alarm volume, duration) - Improved alarm experience Please do note that Clock Reboot does not include a Timer and Stopwatch. These features along with a couple more will be implemented POST-RTM. So what happens to Clock Legacy? Well initially I decided to push it to the Ubuntu Touch Store. On second thought, I decided against it since Clock Legacy has its fair share of bugs and needs a maintainer which is hard to come by. Due to time constraints, I wouldn't be able to manage both Clock Reboot and Clock Legacy and so will be maintaining only Clock Reboot here on. There by Clock Legacy is dead. All bugs reported against Clock Legacy will be marked as Won't Fix or Invalid. As always I would love to hear your feedback and criticisms. I am nik90 on IRC and hangout at #ubuntu-touch, #ubuntu-app-devel. A huge thanks to all those (Charles Kerr, Victor Thompson, Renato Filho, Giorgio Venturi, Sergio Schvezov, Carla Sella, Daniel Dholbach, Nicholas Skaggs, Alan Pope and many others) who helped with the implementation of Clock Reboot. Cheers, Nekhelesh Clock App Dev
