- Release notes for LhA V1.38
-
- Copyright (c) 1991,92 By Stefan Boberg
-
- Released 29-Aug-92

-
- Originally I did not intend to release any version of LhA publically
- until V2.00, but since there were a few bugs in V1.32e I decided to
- release this cleaned-up and hopefully bug-free version. It's based on
- the old (pre-V2.xx) source code and no new features have been added since
- V1.35 - the only changes are bugfixes.
-
- All changes are described in `update.txt'. The most important are:
-
- - Handling of `~', `[' and `]' wildcards now work in non-international
- character translation mode.
-
- - Security measures to prevent `s:startup-sequence'-type hacks
- implemented.
-
- - Bug fixed in handling of multivolume archives in evaluation version.
-
- - The suppressed-system-requester bug has been fixed.
-
- - Now respects -x option setting at all times.
-
- - The `-s' option now works as advertised. Somehow this never got
- implemented (actually I thought I had done it but since I don't use
- it myself I never noticed until a bug report arrived).
-
- - Added `y', `h' and `c' commands. See manual for details.
-
- - Quick-add mode
-
- - LhA now enables `*' wildcard for OS2.x - no need for WildStar type
- programs anymore.
-
- That's about it. All the fancy new stuff is in V2.xx and as the program
- has been almost entirely rewritten none of it is present in this interim
- release. This is mainly a bugfix release. Boring - but that's life.
-
- Enjoy,
- Stefan

- `` Please allow 2-8 weeks for delivery ,,
-
- During spring/early summer 1992 I could not deliver on time to everybody,
- so this time frame was exceeded. I have sent off most registrations
- during this summer however, so now I have more time and should be able to
- ship within a week after the order has arrived at my place. My sincere
- apologies to those who had to wait a VERY long time for their copy to
- arrive. I'm working hard on improving this program and the support and
- distribution for the next release (V2.00). Read the `Future.txt' file for
- more info. LhA would never have been what it is now without your support.
- Thank You!
