The Release Notes on ETO4 are contained in two folders, one titled "QR4 Notes,"
the other titled "PQR4 Notes." The first of these contains, in addition to
the Release Notes themselves, an MPW document called "Fixed Bugs." In earlier
ETO disks, which contained Alpha or Beta versions of MPW 3.2, it seemed
appropriate for the Fixed Bugs document to contain an incrementally updated
cumulative list of fixed bugs. The Release Notes, themselves, described
features added or changed since MPW 3.1.
When MPW 3.2 (final) was released, it was decided to expand the Release Notes
to include all changes since MPW 3.0. The argument for so doing was that
MPW 3.0 is the last version for which a published reference manual exists. It
was then decided to report in the Release Notes all fixes of bugs that were
outstanding in either MPW 3.0 or MPW 3.1. However, bugs that were introduced in
Alpha or Beta versions of MPW 3.2 and fixed at or before Final are considered
to be currently "invisible" and are not mentioned. Therefore, the Fixed Bugs
document only lists bugs that have been fixed since Final. The contents of
the QR4 Notes folder are only slightly modified versions of the notes that went
out with MPW 3.2 (Final).

Late Breaking SADE 1.3B1 Information…
There is a serious bug in SADE 1.3b1 which occurs under 24-bit memory mode.
Any access to target memory using an address with a nonzero high-order byte
will result in a SADE error message "Requested memory read address not in
RAM or ROM". This means, for example, that displaying target variables which
are locked handles or handles containing resource bits will fail.
There is a patch to fix this problem. To patch SADE yourself, use ResEdit
to open SADE's CODE 10 resource. Change the contents at the offsets shown
below to the NEW values.
CODE 10 "Blue Process"
OFFSET OLD CONTENTS NEW CONTENTS
------ --------------- ---------------
+1E62 677C 6778
+1E6A 6474 6470
+1EB0 672E 672A
+1EBC 6E22 6E1E
+1EDA 4FEF 000C 6052 6056 CEAD D0D4
If you prefer, there is also a small application available on AppleLink
which will patch SADE for you. It is called 'PatchSADE1.3b1' and it is
located in Developer Support:Developer Services:Developer Technical Support:
Macintosh Tools:Macintosh Programmer’s Workshop (MPW):PatchSADE1.3B1.
The patch application will put up a Standard File dialog for you to use
to locate the SADE 1.3b1 application file. When you have selected it,
the patch will change the CODE 10 resource as described above. It will
also change the 'vers' resources so that a Get Info from the Finder will
describe the patched SADE as version '1.3b1+' rather than '1.3b1'.
If any errors occur while running the patch application (e.g., trying to
patch a version of SADE other than 1.3b1), it will beep. Otherwise
it will complete without beeping; you can do a Get Info to check that
it was successful.

Major changes in QR4:
MPW Shell-------
A scripted "save" of a window will save the resource fork if any resources, e.g.
window position, have changed.
Tools/Scripts-------
Make has a default build rule for C++.
ResEqual looks at resource attribute flags.
Link has a new option causing the automatic generation of branch islands. This
previously was available only in the version in the PQR folder.
Misc.-------
C, Object Pascal, and Libraries/Interfaces have changes too numerous to list.
Consult the respective Release Notes.

Major changes in PQR4
MPW Shell------
The Editor key assignments have been changed to conform with those of MPW 3.2
(Final).
The Shell has a new variable, TraceFailures, which controls diagnostic messages
after failure of a script.
Projector has three new commands: ObsoleteProjectorFile,
UnobsoleteProjectorFile, and RenameProjectorFile.
ASM-------
A version of the Assembler with a bug fix is in this folder. Consult the
Release Notes.
ToolServer------
Options have been added to the RShell command. The Release Notes have been
expanded in some areas as a result of questions from users. File names
beginning with "min," e.g. minStartup have had their names constently changed
to end with "TS," e.g. StartupTS.
Proff----
Minor additions have been made to the Release Notes.
Big Brother-----
This package has had major revisions. The former tools, BBInstall and BBRemove
have been combined into Big Brother with "install" and "remove" options. The
former tool BBExtractor has been merged into BBReporter.
MPW.Help---
The PQR4 folder contains an MPW.Help file that reflects the contents of the
folder.
