(Requested by : Manuel Fischer)

monitored is almost empty
(Reported by : Magnus Holmgren)

- Added new Alarm mode: A 24 hour timer
(Requested by : Geoffrey Webb)
- When changing the clock follow mode within Prefs, the clock
didn`t use these new settings instantly
- Following of clock to other screens improved and made more

which made the clock not follow to all screens.) Won`t cause
delay or busyloop when jumping to other screens
For MUI3 Screens it will work now, for example
- Implemented sysinfo.library for CPU usage calculation, for
those using Executive (as this is the only sysinfo server I
know of, but there might be more out there). MagicCX`s
internal CPU measurement won`t be launched then
(Requested by : Magnus Holmgren)

MagicCX from creating the CPU Idle counter task. This is for
users who might use other tools for CPU Idle counting

clicking back on when MagicCX is launched, only when
selected from within the Prefs window
(Suggested by : Dave Dustin)

gadgets anymore in order to toggle a state. Simply clicking
on the entry will toggle the state now.
(Requested by : Dave Dustin)

keyfile within: KEYPATH:, KEYFILES:, S:, L:, DEVS:, LIBS:
and within the directories the KEYPATH and/or KEYFILES
environment variables point to
- TagScreens` "Use System Pens" function only took the
standard pens into account. Now it tries to clone the pens
allocated by Workbench, too.
(Reported by : Magnus Holmgren)
- MoveSizer won`t use ChangeWindowBox() anymore after
moving a window. This prevents sending an IDCMP_CHANGEWINDOW
to the application, so that it doesn`t redraw it`s contents
(Suggested by : Magnus Holmgren)
- MoveSizer will work with windows containing "faked"
drag and sizing gadgets (ie. GTYP_SIZING, GTYP_WDRAGGING)
now; like AnalogClock, Calendar or ToolManager PopUpDocks
(Suggested by : Magnus Holmgren)

- When MagicCX was disabled through Exchange, the AnalogClock
and Calendar windows weren`t closed; the clock window wasn`t
opened again after re-enableing MagicCX
- Added cpu-time dependant Blanker pausing, ie. if the
free cpu-time drops below 5% for more than 600 seconds,
external blankers will turn to simple black screens. If it
falls back over 20% for >600 seconds, they continue
(Requested by: Jan Hense and several others)

cut down it`s size a bit

(Suggested by : Magnus Holmgren)
- ScreenMode-Requester for Blankers won`t show HAM/EHB/DPF
modes anymore.
(Requested by : Magnus Holmgren)
- Cancelling the ToolAlias Tool-Requester made a memory leak
requester pop up
(Reported by : Kai-Uwe Drangmeister)
- Before grabbing an element from within the ScreenSelect
window, the ScreenSelect window will be closed now, so that
you may grab a whole screen, without the ScreenSelect
window on it.
(Requested by : Nils Goers)
- Thanks to Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel I was able to fix (hopefully)
the problems concerning audio output on some systems.
- Changed method of volume definition for samples. You now
specify a fraction of the volume stored within the sample
- In some cases the Formatters caused a popup of an
AssignWedge requester. Fixed
(Reported by : Hans Schoemer)

contents using a wrong text color.
(Reported by : Magnus Holmgren)

prevented users from accessing menus within FinalWriter
(Reported by : Jon Peterson)

it switchable
(Requested by : Bill Bennet)
- DoubleClicking on either AnalogClock or Calendar will open
the Prefs program, now
(Requested by : Stefan Stuntz)
- Patches of BuildSysRequest and AutoRequest had a bug
(Reported by : Magnus Holmgren)

didn`t really work as expected.
(Reported by : Magnus Holmgren)
- Finally, the Online-Help-System works properly
(Some suggestions by : Olaf 'Olsen' Barthel)

(Reported by : Jan Hendrik Schulz)
- Blanker was running, even if MCX was disabled
(Reported by : Gottfried Janik)

- Added new options to user definable clock page: You may now
have the largest memory chunks displayed for chip and fast

(Reported by : Too many to mention)
- Installer didn`t handle deinstallation correctly.
- For the Modules page there were too many modules to be
shown. Reduced number of modules to 18. Same for Blankers.
Now every modules/blanker should be available
- English and German texts for Preferences window were too
long, so the window could not fit on 640x200 screens
-----------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1 (12.02.95 16:56:01)
-----------------------------------------------------------
- One couldn`t format a disk with a label containing spaces
- For RCS module: If you didn`t hit return within the String
Gadgets, but simply clicked on OK, the text entered wasn`t
copied.

(Reported by : John Murray)
- Double shortcuts in Spider Blanker
(Reported by : John Murray)
- Spliner Blanking abort-checking improved
- Improved Blanker corners. Normally when booting, the mouse
will be positioned in the upper left corner. If you selected
upper/left for the blank corner, MCX would immediately blank
Changed. MCX will now only check corners, after the mouse
was move the first time, after launching MCX.
- NOTE: When using datatypes on your system, it might take
long for a FileRequester (like AnalogClock-Pattern) to
display the contents of the directory, as a CallBack-Hook
checks every file whether it`s of the required type. Some
datatypes seem to need a long time to check a file.
- When using amigaguide.library < v39, MCX will open it`s
online help in SYNCHRONOUS mode now, as older versions of
this library seem to have a real bad bug. I tried this not
only with MCX, but with other applications, too.
(Reported by : Michael Barsoom)
- When using "External module at random" for the blanker, one
couldn`t really test the module selected. Fixed

right places.
(Reported by : Michael Barsoom)
- Improved PointerPatch, so that it would work with PPaint 6.0
(Reported by : Frank Mariak)

Also, this change fixes a problem with the buggy
TelephoneBill saving of MagicCX v1.0. Better use v1.1 ;)
(Reported by : Andreas Otter)
- gtlayout.library v7 caused problems with MCX. Therefore,
MCX will now always try to get gtlayout.library v8 or newer.
mcxgui.library is v9 of gtlayout.library, but this version
can`t have anyone, yet.
(Reported by : Michael Barsoom)
- Increased maximum number of frames for Exploding Windows

won`t take effect immediately, if MagicCX is really running

have a WBGauge attached or not

(Reported by : Lars Eilebrecht)

(Reported by : Kay-Uwe Drangmeister)
- Fixed problem with UnixDirs Module: One couldn`t access

is just to make sure that the screen won`t be blanked every
time you touch the edges.

- Password checking after blanking will be aborted, if no
input was made for ~2 minutes. MCX will then return to the

blanking timer.
(Reported by : Kay-Uwe Drangmeister)

between the two existing modules is: The new one
utilizes reqtools.library requesters in order to allow
shortcuts for the gadgets.
- MagicCX is no longer restricted to a compact "Assign"
Base directory. You may now spread your files all around
your system
- MagicCX now uses gtlayout.library for window layout
(if present). This is to preserve memory. If gtlayout wasn`t
found in either TERM: or LIBS:, it will try to use it`s own,
cut-down version (mcxgui.library)
- Every window (except a few) is equiped with a Zoom gadget
now
- Env-Var MCXPRELOADGUI should be placed in ENV:MagicCX now
(Old method still supported though)

screens it can fit on.

- New mode for following of clock to screens: You may now
tell MagicCX to only follow to Public Screens
(Requested by : Martin Steigerwald)
- For Cycle2Menu: GadgetLike colors weren`t selected correctly
for a 2 color screen. This way you only had black text on
a black bar or something like that.
- For AA machines: Mouse blanker tries to keep the mouse
pointers resolution, in order not to disturb other sprites
on the screen
(Suggested by : Martin Steigerwald)
- For window/screen cycling (mouse/keyboard):
Setting of Capslock will be ignored now.
(Requested by : Nils Goers)

buttons activate the window the mouse is over.

will be stored to prefs now

Matthias 'Tron' Scheler for supplying the code

windows. This was in order to cancel WB operations. Changed
(Requested by : Jens Boenisch)
- Cycle2Menu Gadgets won`t be freed anymore, if the window
is to be closed. Well, I thought this is just to prevent
memory loss, but I didn`t take into consideration, that
people might reuse Gadgets, once created.
(Reported by : Ralph Schmidt)

font for the PopUpMenus if the Gadget`s font is topaz.
(Requested by : Per-Espen Hagen)

do. Change it this time, always, never change or use global.
Just the way like ChangeScreen from Picasso SoftWare
(Requested by : Frederic Steinfels)
- In Cycle2Menus PopUp mode, entries will be deselected,
if you move the mouse outside of the menu`s bounds.
(Suggested by : Per-Espen Hagen)

cycle actions.
(Reported by : Dirk Federlein)
- When trying to access an assign from within a shell, without
running a program like "dsfsd:", the Shell creates a process
