Look folks, you can see from the OP that its "Merged with CM 10.1 M3 build( 14th April )" so it will have the same bugs as that build unless otherwise stated, thats why there is no changelog.

@OP, it would be useful if you pointed this out as a lot of people will spam this dev thread with these quesions unless you spell it out in the OP

If you are moving from an old Avatar build to 2.8b without a wipe
Try clearing data of Bazooka
Drag down Status bar -> Toggles page -> Settings -> Apps -> All -> Bazooka -> Clear data

    Weebo release - 26/06/2013

    WEEBO​

    What is it?
    Weebo is your very own googly eyed personal assistant, but with a twist. He does more than just take care of your reminders, he is able to automate your phone to a whole new level. He remembers your location, be it work or home, and is able to perform various tasks assigned to it without you having to do a single thing.
    Weebo lets you go about your life and focus on the more important things while silently and efficiently taking care of the tedious ones.


    What is new?
    Although Weebo does sport a brand new look, the changes do not remain skin deep. Weebo features many in depth changes so as to facilitate daily user interactions. After collating data and feedback from numerous users, we have finally been able to put forward a compelling and easy to user automation app for your android phones.


    Some of the essentials –
    • Rule Editing
      Now simpler and more nuanced, the rule editor screen is a joy to use, both for old users as well as new. Focusing on simplicity and ease of use, the new Rule editor allows you to do the following easily and without any hassle-​
      • Edit the type of rule, and set a name for it
      • Icons for both adding conditions as well as actions, thus giving you easy visual cues while setting up a rule
      • Easier to make creative rules by mixing and matching different icons, and come up with new combinations

    • Broken Rule Indicators
      As simple but useful feature, which as the name suggests, allows you to understand much more easily as to which rules are not functioning properly. In the screenshot, you will see this visual cue depicted as a broken arrow, thus letting you know that something might be wrong with that particular rule.​

    • UI changes to Locations and Rules list screens

      The locations screen now features an option to selectively see what rules are available for you to use. You can choose to see rules based on their particular conditions/usage functions. Initially we have provided the following – Al/Enabled/Disabled/Battery/Location/Sensor/Utility. Also featuring minor improvements is the Locations page, where you can track various different locations depending on your choice.​

    Features Coming Soon-
    • A move towards even more simplicity and ease of use by providing several UI/UX changes.
    • A brand new update to the location tracker using Google fused location provider.
    • Many more interesting features in the pipeline.


    Please take latest Weebo
