When upgrading from earlier versions of Miami please observe
the following things:
Do NOT try to install Miami manually. You should use the enclosed
installation scripts, or strange things may happen...
Previous versions of Miami needed MUI 3.5 or higher. Miami 3.0
needs MUI 3.8 (muimaster.library V18) or higher. This means if
you are using MUI 3.7 or lower then you need to upgrade your MUI
installation first.
If you have already registered Miami version 1 or 2 then you
probably have keyfile versions 1 or 2. These older keyfiles
will not work with Miami 3.0, i.e. Miami will fall back to
unregistered mode after installation. After installing
Miami 3.0 now you can upgrade your keyfile, and Miami will
automatically return to registered mode. Note that in Miami 3.0
there are no separate programs for unregistered and registered
users. The same program binary can be used by everyone.
Upgrade conditions:
- If you registered Miami after June 15th, 1997 then the
upgrade to 3.0 is free of charge for you.
- If you registered Miami before June 15th, 1997 then you
need to buy an upgrade code. Upgrade codes are available
from some registration sites and directly from Nordic
Global Inc. If you order directly from us then the upgrade
fee is US$ 12.00. The fee other reg. sites charge varies.
This version of Miami *absolutely needs* the "Miami:" assign.
In earlier versions this assign was only recommended, but in
3.0 it is required. The Installer script sets it automatically
for you, if it does not already exist.
If you used MUI functions to iconify the Miami window on startup
then you need to disable these functions in MUI settings NOW,
before installation. In MUI preferences, on the "System" page
deselect all three checkmarks in the "Iconification" group.
You will find similar functions in Miami on the GUI page
that you should use instead.
Miami now has its own settings for iconify, AppMenus, AppIcons
etc., and the setting in MUI conflicts with that.
With Miami 3.0 you have the choice to use other user interface
engines instead of MUI. Currently available are:
- MUI: standard MUI look, using MUI >=3.8.
- MUIMWB: MUI look, using MUI 3.8, but with additional images.
Requires 8-color screens.
- GTLayout: GadTools gadgets created with gtlayout.library.
Requires gtlayout.library V40 or higher (included in the
archive).
