[;] Comment
[*] Modified
[+] Added feature
[-] Removed feature
[!] Bug fix
0.1.0
----- 02-Oct-97 first release
[;] I`ve waited for comments on version 0.0.9 for some time and now
here is the first release. Not many changes comparing to 0.0.9, anyway.
[;] WARNING: I`ve compiled online manual (CONSOLE.INF) in the 866`th
codepage (russian) since the book contains a chapter in Russian.
If you`re unable to read the book on a system with a different
codepage (say 437,850) please mail me -- I`ll look for workarounds :-(
In the meantime, you can recompile the book with src/doc/prep.cmd
replacing "-D:7 -C:866" with "-D:1 -C:437" or whatever is appropiate.
[!] Now -p#,#,#,# properly resizes the window when session is minimized.
[!] If you didn`t set default console position and font size (with
Shift+Mouse drag/with FontSize dialog), Console will not set them
to 0 first time it is run.
[!] Now Console is multitask-safe, i.e. running multiple copies at once
will work as expected (however, since there is a need to serialize
OS2.INI access they will not run in parralel, but rather one after
other).
0.0.9
----- 01-Aug-97
[;] public pre-release
[+] Now Console can change the font of the window it was launched from.
[+] New program - CWRP - used to process some PM events 'externally'
since not anything can be done from within a VIO process. However,
you shouldn`t run it manually since it was designed to be run
automatically when it is needed.
[+] Most options now works both 'locally' (on the window Console runs from)
and externally (on the newly-created window).
[+] New switch to set the console title -t"...".
[+] New switch to make window border+title flash (-of{+|-}). Removed
duplicated switch "-of" (foreground session) you can achieve
the same result as -of+ with -ob-.
[+] New switch to change window border size (-b{w,h})
[+] When Console starts a new window with -s#,# option, it starts it
invisible, then resizes it, then shows it (if -ov- has not been
specified). This removes annoying flashes.
0.0.3
----- 11-Jul-97
[*] Changed the utility name from wOpen to Console.
[*] Most state change switches has moved under '-o' switch.
[*] By default Console changes current window, to start a new session
use -on switch.
[*] Now Console detects "font size..." entry in OS2.INI by three dots (...)
since has proven that its name is translated in different versions of
OS/2 (oh, shit...), but (I hope) they always contains those three dots.
[+] Console autocomputes the size of newly-launched window, if you do not
specify it. So, if you run, say, Console -p0,0 -f8,8 -s10,10 *,
this will start a new session positioned at (0,0), and not "randomly"
positioned as before.
[!] Now Console can start active sessions from inactive windows.
[+] Added ability to change same session window from where it was run.
The following parameters can be changed: window cell size (analogous
to MODE command), window position (-pX,Y), window size (-p,,W,H),
window's maximized (-ox), minimized (-om), visible (-ov),
foreground (-of or -ob) states. The -ox- and -om- switches are
equivalent to [system menu]->[restore] entry.
0.0.2
