  • Currency Version 2.00 Released

    From Kevin Wells@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 23 23:14:02 2023
    Hi

    My currency exchange application for RISC OS called Currency has been
    upgraded to version 2.00

    The reason for it going to version 2 is that I'm using a different API provider, as with the old one I had to get a new API key every month. so
    at the same time I re wrote the code for the application.

    This version does require a key as the free version allows 250 calls per
    month. Other changes is that now it can get the exchange rates for the
    last 4 weeks, only one copy can be run at a time as it saves some data
    to it's scrap file and when it is quitted it deletes it's scrap file and
    on the World Bank data Life Expectancy has been added.

    It can be downloaded from:

    <http://kevsoft.co.uk/#Currency>

    Or

    There is a short YouTube video of it in action:
