- Version 1.0, Release Date: 19.11.94
- -----------------------------------
- First release
-
- Version 2.0, Release Date: 12.04.95
- -----------------------------------
- - Needs MUI (Magic User Interface ©Stefan Stuntz). Therefore some changes
- were required:
- - Because MathScript is now able to have multiple copies running,
- the name of the ARexx port changed. Now it is: "MathScript.1" for the
- first task, "MathScript.2" for the second and so on...
- - The syntax of the ARexx commands has changed, some commands
- are not compatible with the previous release
- - New, more convenient Selection-Gadgets (MUI custom class)
- - No public screen settings, no PubScreen/K CLI parameter, use the
- MUI Prefs program instead
- - Offering Bitmap output facility. Thus the following two points were
- made possible:
- - Preview of formula
- - Added support for the following export formats:
- - Binary EPS (EPS + TIFF preview)
- - IFF-ILBM
- - TIFF
- - ARexx scripts on function keys and menu items
- - Settings are saved into a file instead of ToolTypes,
- new menu items Load/Save_as settings
- - EPS output conforms to EPSF 3.0 specifications
- - EPS code is 100% Ascii. That should fix some problems that could occur
- on old PostScript printers
- - Fixed bug which caused brackets on the right side to appear too small
- sometimes
- - Online Help (AmigaGuide)
- - Some new ARexx commands
- - AppWindow/AppIcon support
- - Double,triple,... fractions/exponents were too big/small. They look
- fine now
- - Formula description is included into export files. New menu item "Import"
- allows you to load a formula from an export file
- - The usage of the FinalWriter ARexx scripts has changed slightly.
- By using the Import feature you are able to edit formulas inserted into
- FinalWriter later
- - Some minor changes and improvements
-
- Version 2.1, Release Date: 02.06.95
- -----------------------------------
- - New control codes for:
- - Matrices
- - Over-/Underline
- - Toolbar icons (8 colors like MagicWB) for the most used menu items
- - Zoom of preview

- help text wil be shown
- - adjustable Fore-/Background color for exported formulas
- - Installer script now also in German
- - New ARexx commands "SetZoom" and "GetZoom", GeneralPrefs ARexx commands
- support color
- - ARexx script InsertFormula.ms has been improved. Now it uses the current
- font color. (you may change this!)
- - removed a bug in a formula interpretation function which crashed on
- 68000 systems
- - removed a stupid bug that caused a dramatical rendering slowdown
- of *very* nested formulas. Now MUCH faster!
- - bug which screwed up the preview after iconification fixed
- - Several minor bug fixes and improvements
