- Boing Bag 1 for AmigaOS3.9
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Content of the update
-
- Internet software
-
- The user interface of GenesisPrefs has been converted to ReAction! AWeb SE
- documentation has been updated with a page about plugins.
-
- Harddisk usage
-
- HDToolBox now avoids listing some more non hard-disk controller-related
- devices in its device selection window. It also sports some bug fixes.
- IoTools also sports some bug fixes and workarounds.
-
- Multimedia
-
- AMPlifier sports some new and updated ARexx commands.
-
- Enhanced shell, as well as new and updated shell commands.
-
- ViNCEd allows selection of a single word by double-clicking it. It
- supports logging with an CSI sequence for expert users. It also contains
- some bug fixes.
-
- WBRun allows starting applications in Workbench mode from a shell window
- or script. SetEnv sports a "SAVE" option; if specified, it not only copies
- the environment to "ENV:" but also to "ENVARC:". MakeDir has an "ALL"
- option to create complete directory paths. A nasty bug in LoadResource has
- been fixed, and MakeLink has been rewritten to be more usable.
-
- Workbench and Workbench tools
-
- AsyncWB adds asynchronous copying and delete functionality to Workbench.
- In addition, the "New drawer" and "Rename" requesters no longer block
- simultaneous access to Workbench.
-
- UnArc now allows selection of individual files to be unarchived. Find now
- supports saving its window size and position, and supports drawers with
- underscores in their name. In addition, it supports adding search paths
- easily via drag&drop or pull-down menu.
-
- RAWBInfo has also been enhanced: A mouseclick on a tooltype while holding
- down the SHIFT key activates or deactivates it. Dragging tooltypes from
- one information window to another while holding down the SHIFT key adds
- them instead of replacing them.
-
- BenchTrash supports asynchronous operation and can hook into the Workbench
- deletion process. AnimatedIcon has been fixed and once again works
- correctly.
-
- ReAction classes
-
- The ReAction classes, responsible for displaying ReAction user interfaces,
- have been completely reworked. As a result, they now sport an optimized
- look, many bug fixes, and have some new features.
-
- Various fixes
-
- Font cache will be enabled after Boing Bag installation. xadmaster no
- longer replaces spaces with underscores when unpacking archives.
- "rexxmathlib.library" is now included. And much more...
