• Fixes problem with PlugIns where there is a . in the pathname ot the PlugIn
Version 3.0 (1 August 1996)
---------------------------
• Shopping list generation and printing added
• PlugIns added as a new menu option in Database menu. This supports any number of plug in modules that should be stored in the PlugIns folder in the directory from which Recipe Finder Deluxe was launched. A PlugIn development kit is available from OzTwo software if you wish to develop your own PlugIns (requires Microsoft FoxPro).
Currently available PlugIns are:
* Meal-Master - supports recipe export in Meal-Master format (formerly this was built in to Recipe Finder Deluxe)
* Report Installer - Installs the correct set of reports for use with your printer (current choices are LaserWriter and ImageWriter)
* Category Builder - automatically adds a category to a recipe's category list if it uses certain ingredients
* Category Delete - automatically deletes a category if it appears in any recipe's category list
* Database Updater - converts Recipe Finder Deluxe 2.0 or 2.1 databases to work with this version
* Report Adjust - Allows you to alter the margins on reports
* Report Delete - Allows you to selectively delete reports not currently in use
* Show Settings - Displays values of various Recipe Finder Deluxe settings. This is intended as a tool to assist with identifying problems with the program.
* Standardise categories - Allows you to replace non standard recipe categories with standard ones that you prefer.
NOTE: Only the first two of these are included with the demo version of the program. The remaining PlugIns are available to anyone via our web page at: http://users.hunterlink.net.au/~dgps
• Printing dialog removed and replaced by Print and Print Preview drop menus in File menu
• Changes to layout of preferences dialog
• Added a preference that allows you to suppress many of the warning prompts
• All report formats (except shopping list) can now be printed in landscape or portrait orientation (via a setting in preferences)
• Improved detection of courses in categories of 'foreign' format recipes (ie non RFD recipes)
• Cosmetic changes to some menu text to add ... after text to match Human Interface Guidelines!
• Improved handling of Enter in dialog boxes so it always chooses the default button
• Shortcut key for Export Current recipes as Meal-Master changed from Cmd-R to Cmd-H
• Shortcut key for Add recipe added as Cmd-R
Version 2.4 (May 1996)
------------------------
• Fast import option added to preferences. When turned on, Meal-Master and MasterCook recipes
import approx 50% faster by not tidying up their recipe ingredient text (this means you'll need to
periodically do a TIDY ALL from the Database menu)
• Handling of recipes with things like 3-4 oz refined to enhance Meal-Master compatability
• Meal-Master import/export uses Misc. rather than Miscellaneous since Meal-Master has a max category length of 12 chars per category
Version 2.3 (April 1996)
------------------------
• Preview option moved from the File menu into the Print dialog box. This allows any report to be previewed.
• Improved opening of database from recent files list when the same name appears repeatedly in list
• Dropped extra fee for cheques to $10 since I've found a bank which charges less to convert them!
• Reduced shareware notice at the bottom of reports by 1 line so you get 1 more line of recipe text
Bugs fixed:
• Print current recipe works again (in 2.2 an error occured when this option was chosen)
Version 2.2 (March 1996) - limited release because of rush release of 2.3 to fix a bug
------------------------
• Improved import of Mastercook files
• Updated import code to work properly with Meal-Master 8.02 files

• Mark duplicates option under Database menu renamed as Remove duplicates
Version 2.1 (February 1996)
---------------------------
• Improved handling of course matching during imports of foreign format recipes
• Tidy option under database menu altered to offer two ways of tidying up
- Thorough is the same as before, ie it tidies up the whole recipe
- Fast tidies up all but the ingredients and method and is up to 30 times faster
• Following a number of requests, the following two features were included:
- Addition of an Ethnic field to allow searching by ethnic category
- Addition of a check box to mark (or flag) recipes to allow searching for, and so printing & export of, only marked recipes
NOTE: The marked field is NOT exported (this means if you export marked recipes they'll be imported unmarked)
• Code changes to support new features:
- 'Marked' added as a search category
- 'Ethnic' added as a search category
- 'Unmark All' added as a menu option in Database menu
- Screen and report layouts altered to accomodate new fields
- Import code scans categories field to see if it contains an ethnic category and updates field if so
- Export code exports Ethnic field but NOT marked field
- Export code exports ethnic category as part of categories field for Meal-Master
- Recipe Finder file format extended to include the Ethnic field
- 'Tidy Up' scans the categories for ethnicity information if the ethnic field is unspecified (ie if it is '---' or blank)
- Code added to automatically update old databases to use the new ethnic field
• Recipe Finder file format standardised between Recipe Finder Pro and Recipe Finder Deluxe to simplify file Imports/Exports. (The first version of Recipe Finder Pro to use this new format is version 2.6)

Version 1.4 (October 1995)
--------------------------

• Gas Mark temperature settings added to Conversions - Temperature popup
• Import code is better at working out recipe course for recipes NOT in Recipe Finder format

Version 1.3 (September 1995 - limited distribution)
----------------------------
• Now recognises and imports MasterCook PC (previously only supported MasterCook II)
• Improved checking of field data when field data is entered
• Adjusted time estimate for database convert and tidy up operations
• Imported recipes become the found set to make it easier to see what was imported
• Mark duplicates option added to database menu to facilitate deletion of duplicate recipes
• Number of recipes deleted is now displayed after a database pack
• Tidy Up now cleans up source and nutrition fields as well as ingredients and method
• Tidy up now forces the categories and source fields to be mixed case
and the nutrition field is made all lower case except for the first character
• Longer database names now show in top left of recipe card without being truncated
• Time values now appear blank when zero
• Recipe conversion is now quicker and invalid measures such as 3 - 4 oz are NOT converted
• Optimised the Delete Found Set code to give significant speed improvement
• When importing recipes in unknown format the recipe name will be -> (filename) <-
eg if the file Icecream.txt is an unknown format, the recipe will be called -> Icecream.txt <-
Bugs fixed:
- Problem with Alert dialog which sometimes caused an error about 'p_crsary.prg not found'
- Problem where dashes followed by a space were being changed to a dash with no space during recipe tidy up and conversion. [This caused problems converting things such as 3 lb - 3 1/2 lb which after a convert would look like 1 1/2 kg -1 3/4 kg after metric conversion. Because the dash was NOT followed by a space, this would improperly convert back to US/UK as 3 lb -1 1 1/2 lb)]
- Regardless of preferences settings, index was always showing when a new database was opened
- Recipe conversion wasn't doing conversion on all of method text
- Recipe import was not importing the last line of some recipes
- Recipe import was not importing the first method line of some Meal-Master recipes
- Recipe Import was not properly checking for the end of a recipe file. This sometimes caused a program lock up during recipe import
