ADMaN - REVISION HISTORY
BF = Bug fix, M = Modification
Changes from 1.5bf to 1.6
-------------------------
BF Adding new newsgroups could sometimes not work correctly. Fixed.
BF The config file TAB problem, which I had thought to be fixed, in fact
wasn't. Now it is. (Grr. Stupid forgetful programmers.)
BF Since adding date localisation, ADMaN would fail to open on systems
without locale.library (mainly 2.xx systems). ADMaN should now work on
these systems, but the date localisation will be disabled.
M Added "Unview" function. Rearranged "Message" menu a bit.
M Added "Attach" button to mail sendoff requester. Added "UUEncode"
config option.
M Added "CloseOnSelect" config option.
M Layout code rewritten - gadgets now fit the windows more cleanly, and
ADMaN now takes proper account of the border dimensions when laying out
gadgets. No more clashes with sysihack, for example.
M New alias selection and address entry requester added. Alias editor
implemented.
M The message reply strings (Salute etc.) will now be word-wrapped if
they are more than 72 characters in length.
M Added "Save to clipboard" function.
M Added "Add to aliases" function.
M Prefs editor implemented.
Changes from 1.5 to 1.5bf
-------------------------
BF If you replied to a message, then replied to the same message again,
the To: field would not be filled in the second time. This is now
fixed.
BF If there was one article in a newsgroup, and it was trimmed, ADMaN would
not notice this and would leave the item's entry in the index. This is
now fixed.
BF If there were no articles in a newsgroup, and it was opened, some
rather nasty things would occur. Fixed.
BF When saving the received file, ADMaN would save each message twice. This
has been fixed.
M Added ShowSigs config option.
M ADMaN now reloads the configuration after editing.
BF When UUdecoding files, ADMaN would not delete its temporary file. This
is now fixed.
BF If TABs were present in the configuration file, those options
containing TABs would be ignored. This is now fixed. (Grr. Compilers.)
Changes from 1.04 to 1.5
------------------------
BF Since adding the mailbox size to the display, occasionally things could
go wrong when switching mailboxes (if the first mailbox was saved).
This is now fixed.
M Scanning of new news items is now made speedier, as if the item has a
Lines: header, ADMaN will use that rather than count the lines in the
message itself.
M The number of unread messages in each newsgroup is now displayed in the
selection window.
M I've written some new file reading routines, and as a result almost every
file-related function should be faster. This improvement is most noticable
when scanning mailboxes - on my system, ADMaN now scans a 187K mailbox with
74 messages in it (mine) in under 4 seconds. The new system means less
disk accessing, so less chance of "thrashing" when another task is also
accessing the drive.
M Alias list operation made more logical - pressing Escape or using the
close gadget now cancels the operation. A new item is automatically
added to the list to allow for mailing to someone not on the list.
M The button bank is now configurable! Any function that's in the menus
can now also be on the button bank.
M Added base config file option.
M Added BaseDir base directory option, and changed default directory paths
to use the base directory.
M Added UseUUConfig option.
M Version numbering scheme is now properly style-guide compliant, i.e.
This is version 1, revision 5, so it's now v1.5 instead of v1.05.
M Localised dates implemented - now the date display on the message
window should be correct, no matter what country you're in.
M Added PubScreenName option to allow ADMaN to open on a named public
screen.
BF ADMaN wouldn't save mailboxes properly under MuFS. This should now be
fixed.
M Implemented threading in the newsreader.
M Added fall-back system for when there are no .next files available. I
considered writing code for using the active file, but I think the
fall-back is quick enough.
BF Plugged some memory leaks.
BF Fixed a small problem with extracting real names from From: headers.
BF I think I've fixed the problem which sometimes caused ADMaN to Guru
violently on exit.
BF Fixed a problem with the font routines - ADMaN should now only fall back
to topaz 8 when utterly unavoidable.
M Added sorting to the mailboxes - now sortable by Name, Date, and
Subject.
Changes from 1.03 to 1.04
-------------------------
BF I accidentally left some debug code in, which may have resulted in
the no. of columns in your window being displayed every time a message
was displayed. This is now removed :)
BF If you attempted to open an empty mailbox, and then attempted to open
another one, ADMaN could sometimes attempt to save changes to the
empty one and hang. This is now fixed.
M "Save message" now saves the headers along with the message.
M Added "SaveDir" config option.
M The mailbox select window now displays the size of each mailbox.
BF Header handling improved - ADMaN should now work with all flavours
of mailbox.
M Added mail alias capability.
M ADMaN no longer requires the environment variable HOME.
V1.03: First shareware release.
