- ##########################################################
-
- Begin at V 2.3 because in V 2.2 the guide was fixed for ATO
- translations. From this point, the history is this single file.
- All older informations are inside the VersCheck Guides.
-
- Not every listed version was also released! But I uploaded them
- to my homepage or give them away for testing. The new version
- is only to define the exactly stand of programming to every
- time.
- It happens also that a new release come out and the program has
- the same version. In this cases any other part of the archive
- is changed. Most the MUIclassGuide or the HandlerGuide.
-
-
-
- Released version +
- date when finished What was changed or new in this versions?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- V 2.19 / 15.12.1999 - The search for version numbers work's now nearly
- perfect. Rewritten!
- - Based of an idea by Michael Malyshev
- <michael_malyshev@mail.ru>, a statistic is new
- included.
- - New catalog files.
- - New ENV: variables and new defaul settings.
- - New ansi output as default, can be deactivated.
- - Problem with the requesters fixed, Now only using
- asl requester.
- - Scripts: Check_Your_System changed to work correct
- with the ENV: settings.
- - Install script changed for better ENV: settings.
- - Add new information at the begin and the end of the
- installer script (e.g., version).
- Add/change of document install function for changed
- and new documents.
- - Bugfix with empty env-variables.
- - Multiple read's of env VerCOM fixed.
-
- V 2.18 / 11.12.1999 - Bugfix in the installerscript (line 1006)
- - Changes intern, little changes at the functions
- fom 2.17 (only for a better design).
-
- V 2.17 / 06.12.1999 - Version compare 100 percent rewritten to handle
- the versions in a new (hopefull better) way.
- Now I've done, what I never want. A 'hope so'
- analysis. The problem: The compare can't work
- right, if both version fields in a class exists,
- but only one is correct updated. OK, there are
- a lot of way's to fix but no good one. And, NOW
- I know, why DVC has a requester "please inform
- the author!". AND THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO!
- VersCheck has no requester, but VersCheck has
- a messy (disabled in the past, reactivated).
- Bevor this message comes, the version compare
- analyse and work also with bad versions, if the
- program MEANS to know the right version.
- If the versions are bad, you see a '*' before
- '-> version is', if analysed or not. Check this
- entry's, the result of check could be wrong!
- - better find versionnumber in a string with more
- than one numerical part. In the past, the
- search for the versionnumber start at left and
- end's after the first number or group of
- numbers. REMEMBER the RKRM say's:
- 'name_of_class ver.rev (dd.tt.jjjj) comments'
- This was a problem in the past:
- "Personal 68060 Blit Library 2.1 (30.01.97)"
- the version found = 68060
- The new function search for the first ( and
- then looks for a version in front of it. If
- not found, the old functions is used. In my
- tests the results are very good.
-
- V 2.16 / 03.12.1999 - A problem in the classes list appears, if the
- version is ok, the second version old and the
- ClassList has an entry like :name 1.1 (10/10/99)
- To fix that problem, I cut such strings after
- the version where nothing should be.
- Greetings to Michael in ru! Problem fixed!
-
- V 2.15a/ 30.11.1999 - I programming nonsence and nobody see it :-)
- Version of Kick has show WB and WB shows Kick.
- Now corrected.
-
- V 2.15 / 28.11.1999 - A problem with MUI Classes corrected. In the MUI
- classes test the '.mcp' are not compared.
- - Found a second problem in the new filerequest.
- Disabled, old request enabled, this is more and
- at the moment is no time for this.
-
- V 2.14a/ 24.11.1999 - Translations for suomi arrived and all new files
- included, installer updated
-
- V 2.14 / 23.11.1999 - AFD-COPYRIGHT included
- - Install-script:
- - translation of two added languages for france
- installation.
- - add AFD-COPYRIGHT in fileslist
- - Using Check_Your_System, selection "filerequester"
- do not work (illegal option). The reason, a bug in
- the getargs-parser. Changing -0l CLASS as last
- argument or put any char after l help. Like this,
- for example: -0ll CLASS.
- The problem in getargs is cleared. Also a lot of
- semilar problems without effect in the moment.
- The biggest problem is, that the functions was
- correct (now dobble checked).
- - Because trouble with the call of requester from
- reqtools.library the ppc-program versions has
- requestor=OFF as default. So I changed this now
- to asl.library (seems working). Only the HTML-
- ASK-request is not changed (coming soon).
- - The MUIClasses.Guide and the compare for the
- MUI classes know's now a faked version and the
- patched classes show'n a warning.
-
-
- V 2.13 / 20.11.1999 - This history is now hopefull better in layout
- und usage.
- - OS3.5 dosn't opened the catalog files. One
- problem was found in the locale initialisation,
- the other in the catalog source. Both corrected.
- - Add france language in the installerscript and
- also france guide and catalog to the archive.
- - mmu.library is now an official release. Look in
- the AmiNet, if you want or need more
- information.
- - A lot of bugs and problems in the install script
- corrected (nearly new written).
- All needed functions for automatic update in the
- future now included and tested.
- - New OS3.5 compatible icons.
- - Version of WB was wrong before (show's the kick
- version). First seen after install OS 3.5 here.
- - WARNING! Installation with InstallerNG v1.4
- crashed (guru). Will be cleared soon.
- The problem is, VersCheck writes the settings
- of the installations to disk and use them at
- later updates (you must nothing change!). But
- this causes an internal typeconfikt in the
- InstallerNG. Test with the original OS3.5
- and also the OS3.1/OS3.0 Installer.works fine.
- - Added new file xxxInfo to each list. The first
- reason ist, to make possible to identify the
- list and the version of the list. The second
- reason is, to show this info to the user.
- Important is: First line must be a AmigaOS
- like $VER line. The others are free.
- - New argument -! to show the xxxInfo as a
- requester.
- - New tooltypes:
- DISPLAYINFO show the xxxInfo file as requester.
- DIRSFILE activate the xxxDirs pathlist.
-
-
- V 2.12 / 17.11.1999 - Never offizial released, only for an ATO
- translators to check that all things working.
- - Fixed a problem with the Check_Your_System
- script. Since OS 3.5 the start by IconX crashes.
- Now the stack is set in the icon, not only in
- the script.
- - Because most 68k versions crashed after start
- I recompiled all. I think, one of the object
- files was bad.
- - Add czech catalog to the archive.
- - Add polski language in the installerscript and
- also polski guide and catalog to the archive.
-
-
- V 2.11 / 02.11.1999 - A mistake in the english locale and the internal
- english text corrected.
- - A lot of problems in the english and the german
- guides corrected.
- - Add new feature xxxDirs for multiple directory
- scan. This feature will be used if a xxxDirs file
- exists and the feature -0l or -1 upto -5 use
- a '*' in the argument, e.g. -1* or -0l* and so
- on. So the program can scan more as one directory
- at one programstart.
- - Add requestorsON/OFF for multi dir scan. Now the
- check for files can using a list of possible
- directory's. If the exists, they are scanned. If
- not, the entry is skipped, without error messages
- or "please insert volume ..." requester.
- - Various bugfixes.
- - New function make an internal selftest at start.
- If CPU and/or FPU at the system not match with
- the compiled code, VersCheck print out an error
- and stop immediatly before the CPU causes a trap
- (guru).
-
-
- V 2.10 / 30.10.1999 - Recompilation with a updated vbcc for WarpOS.

- $VER-String. Special thanks to Thomas Richter for
- his help. VersCheck scans now 3 differnt ways to
- find the version. At the moment looks bad, but
- works right (and better as before).
-
-
