What's new? For all users here a short summary of the most important changes
in Version 1.1 compared with 1.0 (For details on some of the points see
the documentation).
a) Mupfel
- New commands: more, print, noalias and cookie.
- New options -b and -s for cp.
- cd, tree and the prompt now work with very long path names.
- Change of current drive with capital letters, e.g. "D" changes to the
root directory of drive D.
- cp and mv now delete the target file in case of an error.
- Atari's new ARGV method is supported.
- With K:[YN] in $PRGNAME_EXT you can wait for a key after program execution.
- Calls via system() are now reentrant.
- I/O redirection of internal commands now always generates "real" text files.
- In $PS1 you can switch to reverse video.
- The list of aliases, the function keys and the internal variables are
inherited by "baby-mupfels".
b) Venus
- Improved handling of the menubar e.g. during icon dragging.
- The clipboard and trashcan directories are now always created when they
do not exist.
- Copying of directories to themselves is now forbidden.
- more and print are now used automatically for all files for which no
application is installed.
- Alternate + double click on a directory in a window opens a new window for
this directory, on a directory icon on the desktop opens a window for the
parent directory.
- Dragging desktop icons into a window starts a copy operation.
- The font in file windows can be selected as in the console window.
- No files can be dragged into the console window.
c) Gemini
- You can now leave the console window by mouse click.
- TOS programs are now always started with the directory of the top window
as the current directory.
- The W:N option in $PRGNAME_EXT now works better together with "Close all
windows before start" in Venus
- Text output from internal commands is substantially faster.
- The mupfel commands cp, mv, init, label, rm, more and print can be aliased
without problems because GEMINI is always using them with 'noalias'.
