Stupid power supply cord broke on my mac book, which is less than 1.5 years old. Happened on Sunday, which was the day I planned to submit the app to Apple for their "blassing". Got a new one today, but considering that I've lost all Sunday to work on the app, and during the weekdays I don't have all day free to work on the app, I guess it'll be this weekend. All coding is completed. Testing to catch bugs if any. Reworking the help file. Pretty much same functionality as in Android app, minus search integration which Apple won't allow.

Fixed incorrect notes for some proprietary alloy detail view.

All the major features are completed except database synchronization, which I hope will be done tomorrow. Few minor things like small graphics, help file etc and then I can submit the app to their holiness, apple appstore for approval...

Fixed very long numbers in the graph builder when molar percentage mode was selected. Now all the values are correctly rounded to two decimal digits.

Added bunch of PX, CSN, SIS alloy names. Revised AFNOR, GOST and BS standards, set correct composition flags and records. Approaching 3800 names :) And still working on the damn iphone steel chart app. That's about 80% done.

Revised all DIN and W-Nr standard specifications and set their correct statuses in respective reference groups. That should eliminate bunch of false messages about generated compositions, plus it allows for much better and precise calculations of compositions for other, proprietary alloys from Germany.

Added new article with overview of the technologies used in modern metallurgy. At least the processes mentioned or referenced in the knife steel chart. Stil not very clear what are the fine differences between CPM, PM, MM processes, because their respective descriptions as published by companies are pretty much identical. Whatever differences I've doug up about PM and MM processes are in the article. I'll continue the research.

More than 200 new alloy names, including PN and CSN standard names, proprietary names for popular tool steels, fixes for incorrect naming groups and compositions and more. Total, well over 3700 alloy names in the database.

Fixed incorrectly displayed note mark on some alloys, resulting in an empty note popup. Graph builder had more fixes. Corrected link in the single alloy viewer, now switching from single alloy view to comparison graph happens correctly. Fixed suggestions list generator, some alloys couldn't be displayed when selected form suggestions list, that's fixed. Also, the alloys listed in the group as equivalents, or similar alloys are marked with *, so you can tell which one are you picking.

Fixed javascript bug, preventing audio playback in Safari browser. Obviously, the whole thing goes back to comparability. Safari decides not to play .ogg files, other browsers don't wanna play mp3s, and so on. Anyway, safari works now.
