What is new in version 2.0.2?
Troi URL Plug-in 2.0.2 is a maintenance release and fixes some bugs,
most notably an incompatibility with the newly released Internet
Explorer 7. Below are the main improvements:
- (Windows) Fixed an incompatibility problem where after installing
Internet Explorer 7 the plug-in would return an error of $$87.
- (Mac OS X) Added "-DontAutoRedirect" switch for the TURL_Get and
TURL_Post functions.
