-
- THOR 2.22 is an advanced multi-format offline reader, supporting the
- QWK, Fido, UUCP, SOUP, Bluewave, Omen, ABBS, MBBS and Hippo (BBBS)
- message formats. It will also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP
- and POP3.
-
- Changes in 2.22:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- THOR:
- - 5 on the numberic keypad is now a shortcut for "m b" (unmark subject).
- - If the ARexx SHOWPICTURE function failed to load a picture, the listview
- would end up in a state that would cause enforcer hits if clicked upon.
- - Changed a few of the "Sort by" strings in the Dock window, making them
- shorter.
- - Will handle small fontsizes better when putting the icon for a
- MIME/uuencoded file in the listview.
- - The requester containing conference when replying to a crossposted message
- would misbehave and add an empty conference field in the reply window when
- no conferences was multiselected, but ok was still used. This is fixed
- and the behaviour has changed somewhat so that selecting with the white
- bar will crosspost to that conference only, and not to the current one.
- - Fixed the last remaining problem (I hope) with the delayed marking option
- that concerned marking the current message as unread. THOR will now set a
- flag when this is done, and when proceeding to the next messages, this
- flag is checked and if set, the unmarking of the messages will be skipped.
- - Maybe fixed the problem with entering and leaving a system many times which
- could cause a crash.
- - MIME sound files will be handled correctly with Multiview from within
- THOR.
-
- ConfigTHOR:
- - Added an option in "Global Config->Message options" for marking the message
- as read after you go to the next message. In THOR, this means that the
- message you have been reading will only be marked as read when you go
- to the next or previous message.
-
- ConnectTHOR:
- - NNTP_USERNAME and NNTP_PASSWORD arguments added to for use on newsservers
- that require authentication. Currently only used in the newsbrowser.
-
- packfido 3.202 (12.Des.95)
- - Packed events that where added to the database did not get
- the right charset.
- - Crash (urgent) mail implemented at last.
- - UUCP-address recognition has been changed, but I had forgot
- to update the historyfile, so I don't know _when_ it was changed. :)
- An UUCP-address is now an address with a '@' in it.
- - Forgot to change the tearline to reflect the new 2.2 release.
- - Hold mail implemented. Untill this is implemented in bbsread
- library, I use 'Encode 8 bit' as an alias for Hold, so if you
- want Hold, select 'Encode 8 bit' in the Extras window.
- - New type: FIDO_EXPORT This type will export all events and
- mark them as done. Next time events are packet, these are
- added to the (possibly) existing files in the outbound dir.
- This behaviour is like Spot, and several people have
- requested something like this.
- - Fixed some small bugs that came with the FIDO_EXPORT type.
- - A test was in the wrong place, so hold only worked on
- non-NetMail.
-
- parsefido 3.195 ( 8.Des.95)
- - The progressbar wouldn't always start at the beginning.
- - Fileattaches are now moved to <thordir>/decoded as they should.
- - BinaryPart's (fileattaches) now get matching b.desc/b.comment
- (file-recognition :)
- - Support for FSC-035 (REPLYADDR and REPLYTO kludges)
- - Added support for the SHOWORIGIN config option. When this option
- is turned on, Origin-lines will be added to the message-text instead
- of to the comment-text as it has been till now. (Requested by Axel Bruns)
-
- utgui.library 3.147
- - No longer 3D text in separatorbars in the listview.
- - Background of NUMBER_KIND was not cleared, fixed.
- - Separator bars was not centered (missed a () pair in
- an expression; who said it was *pointers* that where
- worst in C? :)
- - Now obtain ansi-pens with precision PRECISION_EXACT
- instead of with PRECISION_GUI as before.
- - Implemented support for separatorbars in ansi-listviews.
- - Fixed a problem with screen locking an progressbars
- relative to windows.
-
- CfgFIDO.thor 1.4 (11.Des.95)
- - Added new SHOWORIGIN option.
-
- PackBlue 2.4
- - Enfocer hit when all events were deleted is fixed.
-
- utnet.library 2.81
- - Does no longer require big continous buffers when parsing news. Uses
- much less memory on binary attachment and get conflist.
- - Improved support for RFC 1522 MIME headers.
- - Fixes the well known crash-bug some people have experienced when adding
- MIME messages.
- - Localizes time on incoming messages if locale library can be found.
- This should make Thor fully RFC 822 confirmant.
-
- GetTCP 1.18
- - Instead of turning off copyback, I turned it on several times.
- - Enforcerhits/crash if the number of news messages was lower than the
- number of sockets is fixed.
- - Will use the initial NNTP socket as one of the sockets to retrieve
- news on.
- - Will not quit the program if one or more of the news sockets fail to
- initiate.
-
-
- To install this upgrade, use the UpdateThor or InstallThor installer
- script.
