History changes:
1.18b (29.04.1998)
-----------------
NEW: Does no longer use TCP device. Made real network code instead, which
now makes it work with Termite TCP without problems. Some problems with
hanging TCP-device-tasks should now also have disappeared.
BUGFIX: Another corrupted memory list error (guru #8100 0005) when using
TAB-completion in PChat and Hotline.
Bug reported by Kenneth Craig. Thanks! If Gurus in PChat reported by
others also disappeared after this fix is unknown, cause I could never
reproduce them.
1.18a (22.04.1998)
-----------------
BUGFIX: If you used Textinput.mcc as string gadget there was actually a
limit of about 46 characters in the PChat and HotLine.
That limit is now removed.
Kickstart v37 users now use Newstring.mcc or string.mui. Textinput.mcc
can't be used.
A couple of freemem with the wrong length (guru #81000005).
Thanks to all who reported this bug! (wonder why it never happened
on my Amiga ...)
Removed a null pointer access when noone was selected in the
client list and you tried to send a message or requesting version
info.
Fixed incompatibility with A4000.
Thanks to Håkan Magnusson and Steven Lyon for helping me finding
the cause.
The AmiComSysRegister and AmiComSysMakekey liked to crash your
amiga (stack overflow) :(
Fixed 68000 incompatibility in PChat and HotLine. You can now chat
with people with this kind of processor without causing
his/her computer to crash.
The Betterstring.mcc now works with 68000 CPU.
Workaround so PChat and Hotline will work without any crashes on
68000, whether of not the one your are chatting with are using
AmiComSys 1.18a or lower.
Bug reported by Mike Constantine. Thanks!
Kickstart v37 owners should use NList.mcc version 19.86+ (1998-04-13)
Replaced the kick 37-replacement of the poolmem-functions, because it
was broken somehow (led to crashes at exit).
NEW: To make it possible to use MUI-windows for the message requesters
in future you have to set the MUI-iconification at startup to off.
AmiComSys has it's own iconification-facility at the program
settings page, the program tab - Iconification group.
"No GUI at startup" is the same as MUI-prefs system-settings -
Iconify at start up. You can also decide if an icon should appear on
the Workbench and/or an AppMenu should be added to the Workbench
tools menu when AmiComSys is in iconified state.
The MUI-iconify button which can be showed in the upper right corner
of each window iconize just the window which you pressed the button in.
Then there are a menu item in AmiComSys Project menu - Iconify application:
It will use the MUI settings for Iconification and hides the whole application,
i.e. all windows.
The ToolType CX_POPUP now works again. (CX_POPUP=YES opens the main
window at startup.)
1.18 (12.04.1998)
-----------------
BUGFIX: Message requester: The light gray background fill entered the string
gadget's domain.
Reported by Allan Odgaard. Thanks!
Message History: Texts with new lines were truncated.
Information box in upper part of main window: Stopped working, due to
server software update. It also crashed if the server had crashed :(
NEW: Added MUIA_String_AdvanceOnCR to all the string gadgets, so return now
behaves like TAB.
If you forget to send a text you have entered into the text field in the
message requester AmiComSys will notify you.
Removed limit of message length in HotLine and Private Chat (PChat).
(If you are using Newstring.mcc as textfield gadget there is a limit of 500
characters.)
Added smart activate, which means that the message requesters don't steal the
current focus while you are using the keyboard. The time since the last key
press and when it is okey to open in active state is settable in the window
settings page - Message requester tab (Activate delay).
Above sugguested by Allan Odgaard. Thanks!
Empty messages are not sent anymore.
Changed string-class settings, so you have to set it again. Betterstring.mcc
is now default for the 68020+/WB3.0+ version.
If the default public screen is to small for the message requester a new screen
will open.
The message requester handles new lines in a better way. It is now also able to
show text in bold, italic and underlined style. Also added justification (left,
right and center). Notice that you currently cannot send such a message ...
You can now choose if the email entered into the settings should be showed to
the public, in the personal settings (Public).
Added a banned user setting on the network-settings-page, due to popular demand.
Insert nick names or real names of people who harass you or you don't want to
talk with.
The old banned users setting for registered users was removed. The Autosave-
history feature is now registered users only.
Removed Topic text field from the PChat-windows.
Made the Client Info requester a MUI-window. To send the home page to your
browser you now have to press the http://domainname button.
This program is ShareWare.
