- History of !AntUtils (latest revision first)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ©1997 P.Vigay
-
- v1.11 (3rd Aug 1998) a) Tidied up the 'Quick mail' routine a bit so that
- AntUtils doesn't try sending mail whilst it's already
- sending mail from the last time (added so that if Ant
- take too long to send the existing mail, AntUtils won't
- try resending a second later).
- b) Swapped the mouse button action in the auxillary apps
- window to be more style guide compliant. Adjust leaves
- window open whereas select closes window after loading
- app.
- c) If the mail mechanism is set to Pluto, AntUtils will
- do a single, last debatch of mail and news when you
- disconnect after being online.
- d) *MAJOR ADDITION*
- Ability to create html index files of image directories.
-
- v1.10 (12th Jul 1998) a) Bug fix: Timer reseting when 'Lan' setting turned on.
- b) Added ability to include "|M" inside shortcut string
- sequences, so that carriage returns can be included.
- c) Added 'Quick mail send' option which checks for any
- mail in the outgoing queue every 5 seconds and if so,
- sends it straight away. NB. Advanced users can change
- the time delay by editing the AntUtils.Resources.Messages
- file.
-
- v1.09 (22nd Apr 1998) a) Added 'Check RMA' option to choices so that AntUtils will
- ensure that there is always enough free RMA space whilst
- loaded. This hopefully eliminates the DLL crashing that
- the Ant Suite sometimes suffers from on connecting.
- The actual minimum size of RMA space is definied within
- the AntUtils.Resources.Messages file. The default is 128k
- This supercedes/fixes the method used in v1.08 (item f)
-
- v1.08 (26th Feb 1998) a) Added option to run without installing an icon on the
- bar. (Shift, Ctrl, A, U to toggle)
- b) Added shortcuts to enable up to 5 specific lines of
- text to be automatically inserted at the cursor position.
- These are stored inside !AntUtils.Resouces.Shortcuts
- c) Added facility to send an automatic debatch command to
- Pluto, one minute after mail downloads and two minutes
- after news downloads (user configurable).
- d) Added additional web resources sites to AntUtils 'Info'
- window. This allows you to hotlink visit either my own,
- Ant Ltd or Jon Duddington's Pluto web sites in order to
- check for latest updates.
- e) Added 'tick' for status option on menu.
- f) Allowed facility to claim RMA space on connection in an
- attempt to 'fix' the DLL not found crashes on connection.
-
- v1.07 (19th Jan 1998) a) Fixed bug whereby if you don't have an ADFS::HardDisc4
- filepath, AntUtils will crash. Now if you wish to move
- to a different machine, simply delete the
- !AntUtils.Resources.choices file and re-run.
-
- v1.06 (4th Dec 1997) a) Added 'auxillary files' window, so you can hotlink
- any additional 'utility' apps you want to run with
- InetSuite.
- b) Made double-clicking on "Next Cron" icon in the status
- window actually execute the next cron entry, ahead of
- time - so you can step through them immediately.
- c) Added support for Pluto newsreader.
- d) Added cron logging so you can see if everything has
- worked whilst you were away.
- e) Should hopefully now manage signatures a bit better
- when set to non multi-user.
- f) Added filepath window so you can implicitly set the
- paths to !InetSuite and !Pluto - so you can run AntUtils
- even before the others have been 'seen'.
-
- v1.05 (26th Aug 1997) a) Fixed bug in Lan connection where AntUtils failed to
- check the Lan connection correctly, thus giving an
- offline status.
-
- v1.04 (23rd Jul 1997) a) Tidied up file handling so that open files are not
- closed, if an error is detected during initialisaion.
- This will enable AntUtils to become part of your
- boot sequence without generating a 'file is closed'
- error.
- b) Amended cron routine so that only AntUtils commands
- are converted to uppercase, thus leaving any oscli
- commands as they are.
- c) Added next cron command to status window.
- d) Fixed bug where newstime was not updated correctly
- when set to automatically fetch news messages.
- e) Added arm code routine to reset machines on pre-
- Risc OS 3.5 machines.
- f) Added code so that if more than one copy of AntUtils
- is loaded, the first one quits automatically, so that
- only one copy of !AntUtils can be loaded at any one
- time.
- g) Added 'load time' to info window, mainly to see if
- autoboot options and cron table's are working ok.
- h) Added 'swap' command to cron table to allow for two
- different cron tables to be active.
- i) Clicking select on the next cron icons in the Status
- window gives a message stating in full what the next
- cron event is, as the status window is truncated.
-
- v1.03 (27th Jun 1997) a) Added cron table to allow !AntUtils to execute
- various commands at preset times, whilst loaded.
- b) Added support for multi-user hotlists and call
- logging files, due to popular demand on the Ant
- Chat mailing list.
-
- v1.02 (16th Apr 1997) a) Added automatic newsgroup fetching.
- b) Added 'Autoquit' option, so that !AntUtils will
- quit automatically as soon as you come offline and
- quit !InetSuite.
- c) Added 'Auto status' option to enable !AntUtils to
- open and close the status window automatically if
- you are on or off line respectively.
- d) Added support for SLIP access as well as PPP.
- e) Added LAN connection option to force permanent
- connection.
-
- v1.01 (22nd Jan 1997) a) Fixed bug whereby detrimental count resets approx
- every five seconds. This was caused by a minor(?)
- typo in a boolean calculation. (oops)
- b) Added error message if you try to connect to my
- web page without being online.
-
- v1.00 (22nd Jan 1997) a) First release version, pretty much all working
- and debugged, albeit the first version.

- Again, please feel free to keep suggestions coming in.
