Version 1.00
------------
Original single tasking version, no editing features as such. Saving and
loading was implemented, but the whole application lacked finish.
Version 2.00
------------
Completely re-written. Written for the desktop, thus multitasks with other
applications quite happily. Full standard Risc Os editing functions
implemented.
Version 2.01
------------
* Bug fix, 'Insert' and 'Delete' line functions tended to delete some of
the text entered, corrected.
* General tidying up of menus.
* Inlays can now be loaded by dragging to the icon bar as well as to the
main inlay window.
* When an inlay is loaded, the filename is automatically sent to the save
box, making re-saving after editing easier.
Version 2.10
------------
* Loading and saving of inlays has been seriously improved. Inlays can now
be saved either as a whole inlay (both sides), or each side separately.
Filetypes used are &080 - Both Sides and &081 for single sides.
Loading the inlays works exactly as before, except that single side inlays
will be loaded into the relevant side, so dragging a single side inlay
to side 'A' will cause it to be loaded into side 'A' of the inlay and
vice versa, alternatively dragging a single side inlay to the icon bar
will cause it to be loaded into side 'A'.
Version 2.20
------------
* New fancy mouse pointers used, courtesy of the interface module.
* Hotkey added for 'delete line' option, the 'TAB' key has been chosen.
Version 2.30
------------
* Extra preferences added to preference menu, now allows two separate
directory paths to be defined, ideally one for single sided inlays and
another for double sided ones.
* The menu which appeared when clicking 'menu' on the icon bar has been
condensed to just the two standard options (Info & Quit), to obtain the
preferences window, just click 'cancel' on this icon.
* New window defined and added. Obtained from the 'show' menu it lists all
the hotkeys which the program uses.
* New hotkey facility added, pressing Shift + Insert inserts the current
date into the current icon.
* New option added to the 'preferences' menu, the side of the icon bar
which the program will be installed onto is now selectable.
* Clicking on the 'show' option, without following the arrow, should now
bring up the directory for whole inlays, just for convenience.
Version 2.40
------------
* Several options relating to the printout of the inlay have been added,
along with a new menu 'print preferences menu' which allows these options
to be set.
* Option added which now enables you to select whether you prefer the
'Side 1 & 2' style or 'Side A & B' style, available through the normal
preferences window.
* A couple of extra hotkeys added.
Version 2.50
------------
* Cassette numbering feature added.
* Exporting cassette inlay files can now be done, this is available from
the standard save menu, where selecting the export option will save your
inlay as a standard textfile (&fff), which can thus be loaded into other
applications such as !Edit.
* Various parts of the code optimized, mainly to keep the size of the
program down, although it is now running about 20% faster, although you
won't notice.
Version 2.51
------------
* Interface indirected data altered, due to all the borders looking rather
nasty on an A5000, all border types are change to the newer 'z' format
which means they should look fine. None A5000 users should notice no
change.
Version 2.60
------------
* Exported inlays can now be loaded back into the program as if they were
normal inlays, the only restriction to this is that the horizontal user
definable character remains an equals sign (=). This routine is rather
complex and may contain some bugs, although I've tested it quite well
and it seems to work fine.
* Wimpslot for program increased to 96k - sorry!
Version 2.70
------------
* Bug fix, Ctrl + Page Up, which should have opened both filer windows had
stopped working!
* New hotkey added, Ctrl + Shift + Insert, copies the current album and
artist data from side A to side B.
* New hotkey added, Ctrl + Escape will abort and quit the application.
* Inlays can now be loaded by double-clicking them.
* General tidying up of most of the code.
Version 2.80
------------
* Bug fix, the insert line function had ceased to work and locked up the
whole machine(!) Works fine now.
* General changes to most of the templates, print inlay option added to the
main window.
* Code optimized, should be able to get a later version back down to 64k.
* The message icon on the main window is only updated when necessary, so
it shouldn't flicker as much.
* New hotkey added, Ctrl + Q, closes the main window.
* New hotkey added, Ctrl + X, removes the text from the current icon,
although this is identical to the standard Ctrl + U, it is easy to press,
you only need one hand!
* New hotkey added, Ctrl + C, copies the current album and artist data from
side A to side B, same as Ctrl + Shift + Insert, but again, easier to
press.
Version 3.00
------------
* Application name changed, !Cassette scrapped, now called !Inlay 3.
This is for two reasons, every other cassette inlay designer is called
!Cassette, and secondly, to celebrate the new complete version 3.
* All template files altered, the main one being the preferences window
which has been completely re-drawn, all the borders have been 'toned
down' a bit, there were too sharp.
* Several options removed, the print option from the main menu has been
removed, inlays can be printed by either using the hotkey, or by clicking
on the print icon on the main window.
* The applications sprite has changed, a large number '3' has been
overlaid on top of the original sprite.
* Helpfile now abandoned, all documentation files have been split into
several files, the main helpfile was getting too large.
* Bug fix, the printing options for bold and italic on the cassette spine
had stopped working, work fine now.
* Menu system completely re-written, allows longer descriptions to be used
for the menus, making them more user friendly. All hotkeys are now listed
on the menus, for convenience.
* Default inlays window added, these inlays are some of my favourite albums
just so you can see the correct way to lay them out, thanks to Tom for
the nice sprites on this window.
* Printer window changed to allow line feed control characters to be sent
before the inlay(s) are printed.
* The 'Show' option has been completely changed, a directory for each letter
in the alphabet should be created, so that all inlays can be saved under
the letter they begin with, along with two extra directories, one for
numbers, the other for any extras. The path for this directory should be
set as before using the preferences menu.
* Full scratch pad functions added and tested.
* Extra menu options listed, allowing quicker access to more functions.
* Extra filetype used, &083, which is used to store a full scratch pad, in
one complete file, holding up to 117 inlays.
* When dragging a file to the main cassette window or icon bar, a load was
attempted on anything, which causes problems if foreign files were dragged
to the program, only files which have the correct filetype for the three
file formats will be loaded.
* Default inlay options now automatically disabled if the 'Default' file
is deleted or corrupted.
* Development version passed around to selected people for full testing. This
version was *NOT* placed into the Public Domain.
* Many other changes, including about fifteen bug fixes from the previous
version !
* All documentation files now completed.
* This version (!Inlay 3, Version 3.00) finally placed into the Public
Domain on Thursday 2nd July 1992).
* Release for 2nd July cancelled.
* Bug fix, deleting a single scratchpad cell didn't work, does now.
* Source code crunched from 49k down to 38k, by optimizing just about every
routine in the program, released code down from 27k to 25k.
* Wimpslot altered from 160k to 128k, not fully checked.
* Wimpslot back to 160k, no room message kept occuring.
* Hourglass turned on before loading and saving scratchpads, due to lengthy
loading/saving process.
* Absolute code crunched down to 19k, the lowest yet!
* New 'intelligent' file format used for saving of inlays, double-sided
inlays tend to be twenty to thirty bytes shorter per file. Older versions
will *NOT* read this format, although this version will still read older
formats, no problem.
* Load routines for exported inlays completely re-written. Any exported
inlay can now be reloaded without problem, the vertical and horizontal
characters are now irrelevent.
* Code crunched down to 18k, doubt it will become any lower!
