v1.37 (19.1.96)
- Installer script works correct now.

or overwritten.
- Resume requester only appears when that checkmark is selected
in menu. Otherwise resume will be used without asking.
Take care: Not every ftp-site supports a correct resume.
- Dirparser re-written. Now it uses a human like logic finding
columns and spaces. Hope this will solve problems with some
special sites.
- New entry in AmFTP-RC file "LASTRECENT". It stores the time index
of newest recent entry. It's used to decide which aminet uploads
are new. Setting this back to "LASTRECENT 0" (or removing this
entry) shows all files since 1.1.1970. This will be start value,
i'm sorry for.
- Some internal fixes.
v1.41 (23.1.96)
- All lines will end with CR/LF now, to not confuse old fashioned
IBM-compatible servers, and some slip-emulations like TIA.

receive.

- The "ls -la" listing makes no difference between linked
directories and linked file. I depents on user now, what should
be done with a link, and it may fail (look in log window when a
action with linked entries does not work).
(The filesize can be also WRONG sometimes, cause some servers
give size of link entry instead of the size of the file.)
- The local directory history will be saved in the file
".AmFTPHistory". This file can be changed with a normal
texteditor. That history will be loaded at start of AmFTP again.

sensitive!!)
v1.50 (11.2.96)

state, and mode (adt).

time, and maybe speed up transfer speed.
- There won't be DisplayBeep _after_ MultiView any more :)
Remark for soon coming release version:
=======================================
o Try to find as many bugs as possible, send report via e-Mail to
"merlin@sixpack.pfalz.de" (NO MIME mails please).
The logfile "T:AmFTP.log" often helps me to find bugs, other
tempfiles, too (T:.AMFTP-RTMP-<PrId>...").
o Everybody who did catalog translation in foreign languages,
should send me an current version ! Old versions cannot be
released. Special thanks to those, who send me an actual version
for each new version.
o If AmFTP crashes on starting, you have to remove ".AMFTPProfiles",
in $HOME and/or PROGDIR: directory.
AmFTP betas did only conversion of the prefs file from one
previous version to the current one. So if you skipped some
beta (!) versions it may cause trouble.
