So what's new in Jack 2.4? A couple of new additions, noticibly the Calendar window which can be themed and also native textfields throughout the application - amongst the bugfixes - users running on a resolution of 1024x768 now have access to the App-Store. Here is the official changelog:
; CHANGES SINCE 2.3
*******************
* Server: The log-in problem associated with the App-Store has been corrected. Existing users will have to sign-up
again as old accounts have been removed as it is understood that the bug has been present for some time.
* Native textfields added through Jack's many interfaces.
* App-Store: Removed Storage overview feature, it proved much too slow.
* Global: Third-party application detection routine has been updated again, APPDIR: is checked first and if
still not found - for a select number of applications another common/usual location is checked. Configuration
window has been updated to reflect these changes.
* Global: Excluding the http:// handler in the File Manager, all other Url requests now have OpenURL Support if available.
* Calculator: Updated to open below the Commodity Window at the correct position. However, does not auto-snap
when Calendar Window is opened/closed.
* Currency Converter: The Currencies button will now open the associated text file.
* Commodity Window: SideBar and Calendar window can be hidden. Changes are saved automatically.
* AppStore: Now supports users running on a 1024x768 resolution as originally intended.
* Capture Screen: Now passes through the File Manager to reach the Image Editor.
Removes all associated 'CloseWindow' crashes.
* Consolidated Window, Drag and Drop, DropFile and Keyboard event-handling into a new
p_InstallEventHandler() function.
* Further modulisation of core components within the source code. |

| Great work. I really like the calendar and the inline string fields.
Keep it up!

Ok, tested, launched : weather updates and Jack freezes using 100% CPU and no way to stop it. Reboot, retested, and same behaviour.
Too bad, Jack has never ever worked for me.
You should find some beta testers before releasing new versions I think (or at least some with AmigaOne).
Thanks for your work nonetheless.

I would love to get your issue sorted, I'll have to send you a debug version at some point so I can see how far through the code you are getting before the crash.
Jack has been added to the OS4Depot Bug Tracker: http://bugs.os4depot.net/ (Thanks Origin!).
If you can add your bug on there please for me.
Eleborate as much as you can.. do you see a window open at all or are you seeing nothing? When the window appears - does it get stuck on 'Refreshing weather forecast?' etc...
