12 May, by Odile

Journal

Notes from the bench, one or two a month.

Almanac learns the ferry times

Version 1.4 is out, and it took a winter of timetables to get here.

Every harbour prints its ferries differently. We typed in 212 of them by hand, checked each against the board on the quay, and then built the tide and ferry tables so that nobody has to do it twice.

What changed

  • Ferry times on the week page, beside the tides
  • Nine new harbours on the north shore
  • A quieter bell for market days

If you keep your own list

Nothing is lost. Run almanac export week.txt before you update, and keep the file somewhere dry.

What comes next

Summer timetables arrive in June with version 1.5. If we have missed your harbour, write to us and it goes on the list.
