NetPopup 3.0 NEW FEATURES
-------------------------
* Hostlist for groups and users. Drag & drop users to different groups (use CTRL to copy)
and add new users much more easily. Just double-click or use rightmouse-menu to send message
to selected user or group. Hostlist is dockable so it can be placed to anywhere liked.
* Hostlist export/import. Users can also export host-list to another file and import them from a file.
Admin can create a shared hostlist in server and other users can import hosts from that file even
on the fly. If the list changes admin can broadcast a message to users to import new list.
Users don't even have to restart netpopup to get new hostlist to work.
* Single window per client. No more millions of message-windows. All messages from same user
are pushed to same window if so selected. There will appear a timestamp and name of the sender
as title of new messageblock.
* External settings-file. NetPopup now uses netpopup.ini-file to store settings. Administrator can
easily setup one netpopup and then just copy all files in it's directory to next client and
for last change only the username (nickname).
* Acknowledgements. When user receives important-message he/she can send ack for sender to notify
that message is received. Also when Netpopup is unable to send message it shows errors in
same ack-window. You don't get anymore hundreds of messageboxes to inform that message was not sent.
* In setup there is a new option to disable access to setup from local-user. This option also prevents
all hostlist-editing. Once disabled it has to be re-enabled manually from netpopup.ini-file.
* Undocumented features for administrators in netpopup.ini-file:
SendAllowd = If 0 local user can only receive messages. Not send.
logfile = name of the logfile. If this key is defined netpopup will log all _important_
messages to file spesified.
* Reply and PlainReply buttons in InMessage to speedup things. Reply will use quote as defined in
setpup and PlainReply never copies history to outmessage.
* Send-button in OutMessage for speed up.
* QuickText's. There is a section in INI-file to where user can define few (not limited) lines of
often used texts such as Yes, No, Ok. etc. These texts appear under rightmouse-menu in outmessage.
* NetPopup no longer register its filetypes for Windows95 Shell. So you don't have to
look MessageOut and MessageIn-documents under right mouse->new menu.
* Starting minimized now works like specified in shortcut. Old method is removed. So to start NetPopup
minimized You should use shortcut's window-options.
