$VER: ViewLog HISTORY File (8-Nov-96) by Dotoran!
===========================================================================
=== v5.02 ===
- Release Date: November 8, 1996!
- Found ANOTHER bug in the VLM command if you were initially using LESS
than 15 logs. (Actually, I noticed the program WORKED, but printed a
bug report to SCREEN, then continued running).
- Noted the command files were still using the older error-check routines,
so I replaced it with my newest one(which translates MCI control-codes
into their non-lethal { and \ counterparts).
- This version will be available on my BBS and Web Page, but I'll wait a
week before sending back to AmiNet, as I hate to keep sending updated
versions their way. (Doesn't look too good!) hehe
=== v5.01 ===
- Release Date: November 3, 1996!
- Some corrupted characters in the MAINT and CONFIG files were causing
them NOT to be usable.
- NO OTHER CHANGES were made, other than the version numbers used.
=== v5.00 ===
- Release Date: October 2, 1996!
- This version SPECIFICALLY written for v4.23 CNet Amiga, and will NOT
run on earlier 4.xx versions, NOR will it run on v3.05c. SysOps still
using v3.05c will have to continue using the 4.1 version ViewLog.
- Those bugs I could remember in the BETA version were removed, and the
following additional changes were also made:
- The "ViewLog5.cfg" file is now stored directly in the "ViewLog5/"
directory, and it is now possible to store this directory ANYWHERE
on your system you so wish.
- The CONFIG program was modified:
- The "Command Path" was removed, as it is no longer needed.
- Toggles for AnsiRead usage in both the LF and VL modules were
included.
- A complete path/filename are now asked for the LOCATION of the
AnsiRead program IF you'll be using it.
- The AMAINT program received some corrections, notably where it
saw instances of your first defined log(in the VL_Data) file as
being NEW. The output of this file, while it is running, was also
modified to more adequately describe what it is doing.
- The MAINT program needed certain modifications to it's getuser
values in order to correctly read your log values from CNet's
memory structures. The "Q" command was also fixed.
- The USERLOG viewer received the enhanced AnsiRead calls, as well
as the "smart" path changes.
- The SYSOPLOG viewer received the same changes as were made to the
USERLOG, and additionally:
- The "A" command was not working.
- History files were being corrupted during trimming operations.
- The colors used for displaying the names of the logs were not
being reset properly when the "ALL" menu receeded off the top
of the screen.
- A few additional confirmation requests were added in areas
where they were lacking.
- The amigaguide doc file was updated to include info on suggested
log usage, as well as having it's BETA notes removed. This HISTORY
file was also included.
=== v4.90 ===
- This was the BETA version 5.00, released February 20, 1996 to only a
handful of users. Written for the first release of CNet, v4.xx by Ken
Pletzer, this file was started completely from scratch, as there were
some specific NEW features I wanted to see added:
- You can now specify ACCESS GROUP RANGES for each log to be used
in the determination of who exactly gets to see each log.
- Separate group ranges, as well as a "master" control were also
added to determine who has the ability to perform maintenance on
each log.
- The logs can now be TRIMMED, or shortened to a specified number
of lines, again where each log can have it's own trim value.
- If you so choose, each log can also have a "history" file created
from the "trimmings" of the above operation. You can also specify
the length you wish each history file to be.
- A new ANSI (and Ascii) screen display has been added for the User
Log, so that ALL users can view logs.
- A superior SysOp ViewLog module was also included.
- A companion program, AnsiRead, is highly suggested to be used in
conjunction with ViewLog. This AnsiRead program is used in the
display of the logs and offers MANY commands for manipulating the
log, searching for text strings, enabling/disabling interpretation
of ANSI/MCI codes and MUCH, MUCH more.
- The main README file was converted to AmigaGuide for more ease of
use, as well as receiving "enhancements" for those using the 3.1
operating systems.
- A "title" bar can also be created for each log, which is useful
in figuring out what the DATA in a log means.
=== v4.1 ===
- The UP250 MCI Conversion Program that came with CNet 2.60/R1 did not
always correctly convert occurrances of the \# and \$ commands.
- This version is a WORKING version 4.0 for CNet 2.60/R1 & Later Only!
- One other small change was made where you now need to press RETURN
after selecting from either the ViewLog or the UserLog main menu.
=== v4.0 ===
- All files related to View_Log stored in "ViewLog" directory within
the Pfile: section. Only LOGS are stored in Sysdata:Log/ now.
- This version allows you to delete a Log OR Log Flag from the VL_Config
file, making it faster than having to ReRead the "bbsconfig3" file.
- You can now select to show your USERS certain Logs as well. A new
command file, "User_Logs" displays ONLY those Logs you specify as
being User Viewable Logs.
- You can now have a maximum of 64 Custom Logs each utilizing as many
as 20 Activity flags. More than adequate for ANYBODY!
- A new, custom 80 column look has been added to this version.
- The Creator can now PRINT a hardcopy of your Log Configuration.
- You can specify DEFAULT settings for AutoScan, Global ReStart, and
Global UserLog settings each time the "bbsconfig3" file is ReRead.
- OPTIMIZED FOR SUPER-FAST ANSI OPERATION!
- The 'backdoor' commands "Q" and "M" are now available at ALL the
'Press ENTER now...' prompts within the VL/LF command.
- Consideration was given to the "uloads" and "dloads" Logs so that
you can still use the LU command, but have a name other than "uloads"
or "dloads" displayed in the menus.
- Alphabetizing routines used when creating VL_Config file.
- v3.0 had a problem dealing with Logs using more than one Activity
Flag. This version takes care of that problem.
=== v3.0 ===
- Once again, v2.0 is OBSOLETE!!!
- Ken's new Config File has done away with the "BBSLOG" file.
- This version reads "bbsconfig3" to find out about your Log SetUp
and goes from there.
- The "Config Creator" has undergone some changes. You may no
longer Add/Delete/Edit etc. Log Names. Use Ken's "Config" file
to do that. The Config Creator lets you set which Logs will
AutoRestart and whether you wish AutoScan ON or OFF.
- You may no longer Add/Edit/Change Log Flags anymore through
the Config Creator. Again, use Ken's "Config" file to do this.
- The "VL_Config" file is now stored in "SysData:Log/"
- The command works EXACTLY the same as v2.0.
=== v2.0 ===
- COMPLETELY REWRITTEN FROM THE GROUND UP!!
- A "Configuration Creator" was made, so that you never had to load
and edit BBSLOG yourself ever again!
- Using the creator, you can create up to 13 different custom logs
of your OWN, INDIVIDUAL choosing.
- You can specify whether each log will automatically RESTART itself,
without you having to answer any questions.
- You could specify up to 13 different flags to be incorporated into
EACH separate log file.
- An "AutoScan" feature that displayed all logs that existed.
- Flags telling you which logs existed and which ones didn't.
- The most CONFIGURABLE LOGGER AVAILABLE for Amiga C-Net!!!
=== v1.6 ===
- Better algorithym dealing with the Handles, so the logs didn't get
filled up if a user didn't do anything dealing with that log.
- Allowed specification as to which logs received handles, and which
ones didn't need that info.
- SuperScan added that didn't need the user to specify they wanted
to Scan all the logs. It simply did it as soon as the file was
executed.
- This file was never officially released, due to my obtaining of
C-Net v2.30, which corrected the bug with the Handles not appearing
in the logs. In v2.30, Handles appear in ALL the Logs, so this
version was obsolete.
=== v1.5 ===
- Added the capability of storing the HANDLE into the log.
- Updated(Downgraded) color schemes to match C-Net Maint colors.
- Added a fourth log for MAILSENDS, using "log.mail".
=== v1.0 ===
- First public release version.
- Creates three logs for pfile/gfile usage and chat requests.
- Informs when log is not present, and gives option to restart log
if it is present.
- Option to view all logs at once, using the (A)LL command.
