KingCON v1.2 (22.03.94)
=======================
New features:
-------------
* Default options can be saved in an environment variable.
* Added new selection-methods that don't involve opening a window
when several files match during filename-completion.
This is configured with the FNCMODE-option.
* The memory for the review-buffer can be static if you specify a
negative value after MAXBUF.
* An extra gadget in the titlebar lets you iconify the window
quickly using the mouse. The image comes from MUI by
Stefan Stuntz.
* The review-buffer has gone through some cosmetic changes, making
it look better when you scroll through it.
* You can now insert the current directory, process number etc
in the titlebar by using substitution-strings, like the
AmigaDOS Prompt-command.
* A custom icon, to use when the console is iconified, can be
defined with the IMAGE-option. An exact position on the
screen can be specified with ICONPOS<x>/<y>.
* The title for the icon can be specified with ICONTITLE.
* MENUFY-option to create a menuitem in the Tools-menu when
the window is iconified.
* KEEPCLOSED-option to prevent the window from opening if text is
ouput to the console while it is iconified.
* FASTUPDATE-option for increasing the speed of the review-buffer.
Especially useful for 68000-owners. It works by simply updating
the scrollbar more seldom.
* POPSCREEN-option to bring the screen, on which the window is
opened, to front.
* New editing- and manouveringkeys:
Control-Left Arrow - Moves to the previous part of a filename.
Control-Right Arrow - Moves to the next part of a filename.
Control-Up Arrow - Moves up one line in the review.
Control-Down Arrow - Moves down one line in the review.
Control-Backspace - Deletes a part of a filename to the left.
Control-Delete - Deletes a part of a filename to the right.
* New menu-shortcuts:
Amiga-J - Enable/disable jump-scroll.
Amiga-. - Show/hide .info-files.
Amiga-W - Enable/disable review-buffer.
* When completing a filename and no files match your pattern,
the devicelist is searched automatically, (just as if you
had pressed Shift-TAB).
* When you Maximize a window, it doesn't cover the first
raster line of the screen, so you easily can drag it
with the mouse.
Things that should have been in earlier versions:
-------------------------------------------------
* RAW: works now.
* The console doesn't hang if you have v36 of diskfont.library.
KingCON can even run if some disk-based libraried are
missing, but some features will be disabled.
* The filename-completion doesn't keep any directory-locks.
* KingCON doesn't crash when trying to open its window on SID2.
* The window is activated when you drop an icon on it.
* WINDOW-option accepts 0x in front of the address like CON:
* SCREEN-option recognises * as the top screen like CON: does.
* Stored command-lines are printed before they are executed when
you have specified asynchronous typeahead.
* Failing to complete a filename doesn't produce a NULL-character
on the command-line.
* Wildcards can be used when completing device-names.
* The path in the window-title doesn't mysteriously disappear.
* KingCON understands which process to signal better.
* SetKeyMap works in a KingCON-window.
* The correct font is always used when opening a window on a
public screen.
* The ARexx-commands Queue, Push and Lines can now be used
in a KingCON-window. They all use some of the many
undocumented features of CON:. For example, WaitForChar()
returns the number of lines in the console's internal
readbuffer in IoErr().
* Lots of other things that you probably never noticed.
KingCON v1.1 (15.12.93)
=======================
New features:
-------------
* Some more edition functions were added:
Shift-BS - Deletes the line to the left.
Shift-Del - Deletes the line to the right.
Alt-BS - Deletes a word to the left.
Alt-Del - Deletes a word to the right
Amiga-Del - Deletes a whole word.
Shift-RETURN - The current command-line is saved to
the history-buffer, but it isn't executed.
* The ALT-option allows you to specify the zoom-size more precisely
than MINI.
* Asynchronous typeahead is possible with the ASYNC-option.
* When a filename with spaces is in it is selected with filename-
completion, leading and trailing quotationmarks are added.
* You can now drop Workbench icons in the console window to insert
their filenames in the command line.
* The console window can be iconified and put on the Workbench
as an AppIcon. This replaces the Minimize-function.
* AmigaDOS wildcards can be used when completing filenames.
* The current directory is shown in the titlebar if you specify
the SHOWDIR-option.
* The review-buffer's maximum size can be set with the MAXBUF-option.
Features that should have been in v1.0:
---------------------------------------
* The 68000-version doesn't contain any 68020-compiled code...
* The console doesn't freeze randomly in RAW-mode.
* Keymaps with multiple-character keys are understood properly.
* The ASL-requester no longer generates Enforcer-hits.
* It is possible to use Amiga-V for pasting in RAW-mode.
* The window's title can now contain ':'.
* The '['-character is visible in the review-buffer.
* The review-buffer understands CR better.
* In addition to this, some minor bugs were fixed in the
command-line editing and the scrollgadget.
