No progress at all this week. I’ve had my nose to the grindstone all week. Next week I may be free from my commercial activities later in the week and then I will be full time on PowerTime for at least a fortnight. There are just two things currently stopping a full release:

1. Date/time tests for multiple time zones. Putting the readings into the database in one time zone and reading out in another and ensuring that the date/times are correct. Also need to validate the daylight saving time to regular time transition;
2. Database locking — currently very naive. Need a mechanism for a process wanting to read from or write to the database to wait for the file to unlock.

It has been fairly quiet on the coding side with just a small amount of refactoring work. The only functional area developed has been the addition of a test for importing malformed XML.

Most effort this week has gone into creating development documentation in the PowerTime Google Code Wiki. Whilst I’ve made a reasonable start there is still plenty more work to do.
