- BBGopher/amiga 0.1 (15.4.95)
-
- First beta release to David Cook at Terminal Edge BBS for testing.
- This version compiled alright using SAS/C and the appropriate AmiTCP
- net.lib. A few functions were not actually in the executable though,
- which meant it didn't actually work. It did, but anything that used
- the un-included functions would not work of course, because they were
- not there.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BBGopher/amiga 0.2 (16.4.95)
-
- Attempted to find the appropriate missing UNIX functions that weren't
- included. Also did a few enhancements that were suggested by Dave.
- One enhancement was the clear screen at the beginning of execution.
-
- Added a version string to the executable to denote the program version.
-
- Dave also suggested that I convert this into a CNet C program. Well,
- I would LIKE to do that, but it's a bit more work than just INSERTING
- it in the proper CNet source code. Many of the prompts would have to
- be re-written to use the CNet prompting code. I will probably start
- having a go at this soon enough though. Maybe I will wait for the
- 3.50 release though, since Ken claims much will be different. :(
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BBGopher/amiga 0.3 (18.4.95)
-
- Hah -- I actually took a day off from coding and played around with
- NetBSD. UNIX is exciting stuff!
-
- Finished converting the missing UNIX functions into SAS/C functions.
- Thanks to Steve Champion for informing me of some of the functions I
- could use to replace the UNIX functions that SAS/C didn't have.
-
- This is yet a beta test version to see if the replaced functions
- actually do their job. I also removed many of the bugs, and tid-bits
- that were causing various compiler warning messages. It now compiles
- with NO warnings or errors what-so-ever. There were also a few variables
- in the source code that were not being referenced. I double checked them
- and commented them out.
-
- I am in the process of working on the documents and text files.
-
- I plan to test this version fully with Enforcer and Mungwall to be sure
- there are no 'hits'. If everything works out properly, we will give
- the release of BBGopher/amiga 1.0 a go. \8^)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BBGopher/amiga 0.4 (18.4.95)
-
- Completely rewrote the original source code to get a better feel for the
- program itself and what it does.
-
- Replaced the clear screen code "12", I was using with true ANSI codes.
- "\033[2J\033[H". This is true ANSI and should be compatible with all
- terminals.
-
- Changed the DEFAULTPAGER from "more" to "more %s". The %s at the end
- tells more what filename to use. This is necessary for the [H]elp prompt
- in the program, or else it will ask for a file and you would have to know
- to type 'bbgopher.help'. Also changed it to "more %s" in the config.
- The more pager will not work with CNet. If you use bbgopher via CNet,
- leave the PAGER keyword in the config blank or use the keyword 'default'.
- A default built-in pager will be used.
-
- Tested it with Enforcer and Mungwall as much as possible on my bare
- minimum AmiTCP setup. I used some simple ports such as the 'qotd' port.
- They don't offer me much, but it is testable. It allows me to play with
- the options and see if it is correctly working.
-
- Decided it's definately time to get some sleep. I've been up for nearly
- 30 some odd hours and am going insane. I think I'll have another smoke
- though first! \8^P
-
- Changed the DEFAULTPAGER back the 'default' (built-in pager). I told
- you I've been up too long. Since the more pager won't work in CNet you
- can just use the default built-in one, which does the job nicely.
-
- Documentation is coming soon. I'll finish writing and proofreading them
- after I get a few hours rest. :)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- BBGopher/amiga 1.0 (20.4.95)
-
- First public release. All previous versions above were beta versions for
- the beta tester(s).
-
- Fixed some things, added some features, and finished up the
- documentation.
-
- Wrote the rexx script for use with CNet BBS to allow launching of
- BBGopher with parsed arguments (ie: gopher mheadbbs.com)
-
- Edited the config file so that it should work without modification for
- most CNet systems. I wouldn't trust it though, be sure to proofread it
- yourself.
-
- Added an 030 compiled executable to the distribution.
-
- Included the source code in the distribution. Now we can all be happy
- if you don't like something about it!
-
- Proofread everything and packed it up for distribution.
- This is it folks!
