- EE v0.9.2a - Read Me First Doc
- ------------------------------
-
- First update since the release of E v3.2a!
-
- Okay, here's a much delayed update. Apologies for not getting this out
- sooner. This release fixes lotsa previously untested ARexx functions,
- and includes some nifty scripts I find useful. This release also fixes
- a -very- nasty mem trashing bug introduced by the new and terrifically
- speedy "Save" routine. All except for this very nasty, intermittent bug,
- I hope you appreciated the new blazing speed.
-
- Below you'll find warnings and caveats for the beta release of EE v0.9.2a,
- which, being beta, has changes and new features that should be watched
- particularly, and may have some bugs or quirks that need ironing out.
-
- Listed here are the dangerous and/or most commonly encountered problems,
- and new potential problem areas:
-
- - ARexx works, sorta kinda. At least it doesn't crash anymore. Many
- functions adjusted to work, and many new functions added for powerrrr.
- I've included EE.rexx, the test suite script I've been using to show
- what functions have been tested and how I've tested them. Also
- included is an autodocs lookup script ADocLookup.rexx, thanks to
- Gregor Goldbach for writing the first draft and giving me something
- fancy to inspire me to work on the interface again. And there're
- several other scripts that do some simple but fancy things, like
- Justify.rexx and InsertFile.rexx.
-
- - Macros are fixed now, durn it! I finally found some time to play with
- and test them. They playback, save, load, clear, all without crashing
- or hanging, and without any flakey behaviour. And I fixed a bad
- "Save"/"Save As" bug. I've even cooked up that ListMacros util I
- semi-sorta promised. :)
-
- - New util UpgradePrefs to upgrade v0.8 and v0.9 prefs files to v0.9.2a!
-
- - New function "Trim End of Line" to turn off trimming trailing spaces,
- for instance, for saving uuencoded files verbatim.
-
- - Speeded up "Save". It's now nearly twice as fast, and I'll be tweaking
- it a little more, making it even faster, yeh! AND fixed a nasty
- bug that caused intermittent mem trashing when conditions were just
- right, or wrong, whatever.
-
- - Enabled calling macros from within macros. The called macro is
- expanded inside the caller, so there're no problems with dependent
- macros choking if a supporting macro is redefined.
-
- Please send bug reports.
