- Revision history
- ------------------
-
- You may notice gaps between some revision levels. The gapped
- levels were never released but I still numbered them anyway to make
- my development tracking more accurate and complete.
-
-
-
- 12 Jan 90 Fri
- First distributed copy.
-
- 18 Jan 90 Thu : v 1.2.2
- ■ Added timeout warning beep.
- ■ Added timed out key press beeps.
- ■ Enhanced CPASS program.
-
- 23 Jan 90 Tue : v 1.2.3
- ■ CPASS altered to append a C/R to password to force user
- to hit enter to complete password. This was done to reduce
- user confusion about not hitting enter - so make him hit it.
-
- 25 Jan 90 Thu : v 1.2.6
- ■ Added pop up window that says "Keyboard Locked. Enter password"
- with single 1/2 second tone when window appears.
- ■ Removed locked keyboard beeps.
-
- 29 Jan 90 Mon : v 1.3.2
- ■ Fixed bug with pop up window.
- ■ Fixed timeout warning beep. Used to beep solid if key struck
- while tone was on. Not anymore.
- ■ Added code to Cpass giving choice of wether trailing CR on
- password was forced or not.
-
- 31 Jan 90 Wed : v 1.4.1
- ■ Fixed stack problem.
-
- 03 Feb 90 Sat : v 1.4.2
- ■ Changed color of pop up window. Made border blink.
-
- 05 Fep 90 Mon : v 1.4.3
- ■ New packaging. Code is same as TimeLock v 1.4.2.
-
- 06 Fep 90 Tue : v 1.5.1
- ■ Pop up window/beep is now optional. Used to always appear.
- ■ Cpass forgot about the CR override ('@' before password)
- if defaulted on subsequent configuration of TimeLock. Fixed!
- (Cpass remembers that you used @<pw> on last Cpass execution)
-
- 18 Feb 90 Sat : v 1.6.1
- ■ Optional instant timeout at program load. (timelock !)
-
- 06 Mar 90 Tue : v 1.6.2
- ■ Fixed: Passwords entered in upper case during CPASS
- configuration are now properly folded to lower case. TimeLock
- converts ALL input to lower case. Although the fix was easy, this
- bug was a major problem to folks who keep CapsLock engaged.
- (An object lesson - don't keep caps lock engaged. It looks
- childish)
-
- 24 Mar 90 Sat : v 2.1.1
- ■ TimeLock completely rewritten.
- ■ Bug Fixed: Speaker no longer 'ticks' between warning beep and
- lockout. This was only apparent on some PCs.
-
- 10 Apr 90 Tue : v 2.1.3
- ■ TLPatch (formerly cpass) completely rewritten. MUCH easier to use
- and more flexible! No longer a sloppy config utility, now 1st rate!
- ■ Pop up window and locked keyboard attention tone now independently
- enabled/disabled.
- ■ Various timers were made user configurable:
- ■ Duration of timeout warning tone.
- ■ Duration of locked keyboard attention tone.
- ■ Time allowed to key in password before automatic queue flush.
- ■ Now detects if already loaded - no duplicate loading.
- ■ Enhanced the instant lockout feature. 'TimeLock !' will instantly
- lock keyboard at either load time or subsequent execution.
-
- 11 Apr 90 Tue : v 2.2.2
- ■ Now compatible with Banyan VINES purple 25th line messages!!!
- ■ System clock interrupt # (x'08',x'1C') now user selectable in case
- of interference by other poorly designed software.
- ■ Now works with monochrome adapters (MDA) along with CGA/EGA/VGA.
- ■ Lockout times over 30:00 now work. Used to instantly lock.
- ■ Minor bugs in TLPatch fixed.
- ■ Long lockout and warning times no longer hang TLPatch.
- ■ Bug with internal user interrupt available detection code fixed.
-
- 28 Apr 90 Fri : v 2.3.3
- ■ TLPatch now has scrollable help. This allows help to be much
- more verbose.
- ■ Fixed an even smaller bug in the TLPatch user interrupt already
- in-use detection code.
- ■ Added an instant lockout hot key. Actual lockout key is 'L'.
- The multi-key combination pressed and held just prior to the
- lockout key is definable by the user. Assembler code is now
- in place to make the addition of other hot keys simple. More
- hot keys may soon follow.
-
- 03 May 90 Thu : v 2.3.5
- ■ Fixed multi-key combo configuration code in TLPatch.
- ■ Fixed bug with 'timelock !' instant lockout code - no longer
- crashes.
-
- 09 Jul 90 Tue : v 2.6.3
-
- ■ Added confirmation tone when using the hot key lockout.
- ■ Enhanced duplicate load prevention code.
- ■ User must now know old password before being allowed to change.
- ■ TLPatch screwed up Locked/Idle time if a previous argument
- was changed. fixed.
-
-
-
-
- I know it appears that TimeLock sees many upgrades and fixes. I
- do this to ensure that people always have the latest version. I fix
- bugs just as soon as they're discovered or reported and release the
- new version. I don't pile up fixes for months and then apply them
- but rather get the new code out fast.
-
-
- Thanks for your interest in TimeLock !!!
