PolyEd History
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This text describes the history of PolyEd. The most recent things are at the
beginning, the oldest at the end of the text. Please read it if you have
updated from an older version to learn quickly about new features and
bug-fixes.
============================================================================
7. Jun. 1995 v2.29 released
============================================================================
* Only English and German catalogs and documentation are inlcuded
to the package.Catalogs for other languages will be uploaded as seperate
files. This allows faster updates, as I don't have to wait
for the translations.
* Added icons for some more text-types.
* Bug in text refresh fixed.
reported by Markus Pöllmann
* Included great block-format macro by Stefan Schulz [thank you, Stefan :o)]
* Macros may now be assigned to every key (also return, tab and help).
Thus, to leave the Hotkey-Gadget in the Assign-Macro-Requester you'll have
to use the mouse.
* A marked block is now erased when Delete or Backspace are pressed or when
some text is entered or pasted in the same project.
* Find/Matching Bracket function added.
* Insert/Overwrite toggle via ARexx did not update statusline - fixed
* Handling of Projects/Views rewritten (for better use via ARexx)
Titlebar now shows [<project>.<view>]
* Bug in GOTOLINE Arexx Command fixed
??.Apr. 1995 v2.2 Fixed version released on AmiNet
--------------------------------------------------
* Added a set of macros to use keypad for cursor-movement (see macros/keypad).
* Bug in AssignMacro - Hotkey StringHook fixed.
27. Mar. 1995 v2.1 PolyEd2 Released on AmiNet
=============================================
* MagicWB is not supported any longer, instead NewIcons® are used.
NewIcons® allow any number of colors for the icons. The colors are
automagically adopted to the the colors of your workbench.
To see the NewIcons®, you have to install the NewIcons® Package, which
is FreeWare(!) and available from the AmiNet. You should really use it!!!
If you want to read something funny, read the foreword of the NewIcons
guide :-)
* Requester dimensions are now saved with the settings.
* Macro description is now also updated when saving the settings, not only
when saving the macro. Reported by Johan Billing
* Fixed a bug which has drawn the cursor within the window-border when
erasing large blocks.
* format.ped macro rewritten
* PolyEd now recognizes and uses the following environment variables
for position and size of the textwindows. The variables must be set
before PolyEd is started:
PED_LEFT - desired left edge (in Pixels)
PED_TOP - desired top edge (in Pixels)
PED_WIDTH - desired width (in Pixels)
PED_HEIGHT - desired height (in Pixels)
These variables are optional, and you may set none, all or any of
them as you like. Use SetEnv PED_XXX <value> to set them, and
copy them from ENV: to ENVARC: to make them persistent.
This was requested by owners of graphic-cards or autoscroll-wbs,
so here it is ;^)
* Removed ARexx ports of projects. Now there is only one ARexx Port.
Commands go to the 'current project', which is the one which belongs
to the active window. The current project can be changed with the
SETATTRS command (see 'arexx.doc').
* Added a requester for 'Print...'.
* It's now possible to delete words with <shift backspace> or <shift delete>
and to delete to the start or end of the current line
with <control backspace> and <control delete>.
This was also requested by Johan.
* Added facility to insert a text at cursor position (Project/Insert...).
Requested by several people, especially Johan Billing :-)
* Changed Cursor-movement to word-begin and word-end a little bit.
* AutoSave doesn't overwrite the original file anymore, but saves to a
temporary file (with an @ as suffix). This is much better.
A requester is brought up, if an AutoSave file is found when opening
a project.
* Libraries for OS2.0 are directly placed within the PolyEd drawer,
so that PolyEd can be started directly from there.
* Backup completed. Keeps any number of revisions now.
* PolyEd runs now (again) with OS2 (V37). I'm very sorry that it did not before.
* Fixed a small problem with block-cursors.
* Changed options and misc-options requester. Added new options for
nonflashing cursor and cursorshape (bar or block).
* Autosaving depends now from the number of modifications made to a project
rather than to a time intervall.
* Removed saving as FTXT, but PolyEd can still read FTXT files,
which it recognizes automagically.
* Icons are no longer global in ENV: and ENVARC: but locale in a drawer
within the PolyEd drawer. This saves quite much memory (because ENV: is
in the Ram Disk and all those icons [most of them never used by most of
the users] really need a lot of memory).
* New format for settings. Old format can NOT be read!
Macro-bindings, window-arrange mode and find&replace options are now
also saved with the settings.
* BUG! There is a bug in the ARexxBox program I use for the creation
of PolyEd's ARexx Port: ARexx-Scripts and Macros are not executed
if they have blanks in their filenames (e.g. 'Ram Disk:xxx' or 'ped:a macro').
* BUG! ARexx-Commands are not executed, if something is typed into the shell
from which PolyEd was started.
* Macros may be assigned to all keys with different qualifiers (new requester).
* Completely new GUI with Shortcuts for the requesters. Much better and shorter
than the old one.
* Removed all enforcer hits (reported by Johan Billing and some other people).
* Fixed some mistakes in the english.guide (Johan Billing).
* Wordwrap is now a menu-item instead of a gadget.
* Fixed shareware-restriction bug ('anonymous' hint ;^)
* added swedish catalog and guide (translation by Johan Billing).
