After my teamviewer fills up (We can have 25 viewers) we are setting up a second teamviewer for the overflow.

Second; Release 3.3.0
This is the release where we upgrade from the wxwidgets 2.9.5 library to wxwidgets 3.0.0. What does this mean? It means you may notice effects playing about a little faster, it gives us some abilities we didn't have before. Mostly, it is the plumbing and you wont notice anything.

This release has many changes from Don Julien. Thanks Don for keeping the flame alive!

I forgot to mention one other feature Don Julien added, new options for the countdown timer.

So to use this only put text in line 1

First scenario, countdown timer of seconds
Line 1: 123
Count Down: seconds
What you see: 123,122,121 counting down to zero.


Second Scenario: Countdown to a date in the future
   Format 'd h m s'
   Line 1: 09-feb-2014 23:59:59
   Count Down: To Date 'd h m s'
   What you will see: 31d 7h 37m 9s

   Format 'h m s'
   Line 1: 09-feb-2014 23:59:59
   Count Down: To Date 'd h m s'
   What you will see: 7h 37m 9s
   NOTE: The hours are not showing total hours until the target date, it is only showing the remainder. We should probably change this

 Format 'm or s'
   Line 1: 09-feb-2014 23:59:59
   Count Down: To Date 'm' or 's'
   What you will see: 454m
   Note! it is only showing the remainder of minutes for the current day. We should probably change this

 Format 's'
   Line 1: 09-feb-2014 23:59:59
   Count Down: To Date 's'
   What you will see: 27700
   Note! it is only showing the remainder of seconds for the current day. We should probably change this. We should probably add the 's' to end of line too
