-
- Jul 16th, 1995 - Version 1.1
-
- o Added the routines to perform a SCAN/CLEAN after doing an auto-
- update, to ensure that the data is as accurate as possible.
-
-
-
- Feb 25th, 1995 - Version 1.0a
-
- o Fixed the problem that it could cause an 'user idle timeout'
- during the keyword/download scanning.
-
-
-
- Feb 18th, 1995 - Version 1.0
-
- o Added the ability to restrict downloads by time remaining
-
- o Added the ability to stop in the middle of a keyword scan
- with the "S" key or the space bar.
-
- o Added a 'table of contents' file to the packet when downloading
-
- o Added autodetection of ANSI graphics
-
- o Added a fast user index
-
-
-
- Jan 18th, 1995 - Version 0.13b
-
- o Added the ability to tag articles for download
-
- o Added the ability to keyword search articles, and tag them
- for download
-
- o Added internal communications routines - a fossil driver is
- still able to be utilized, but is not required.
-
- o Added the ability for sysops to change the color setup
-
-
-
- Jan 12th, 1995 - Version 0.12b
-
- o Added the ability to download new articles in selected
- conferences.
-
- o Fixed a bug that would cause the "TOSSING.*" file to remain
- in the data dir if a user dropped carrier while updating
-
- o Fixed a bug that would not let you choose areas from the
- second page of selections if you had no areas defined
-
-
-
- Dec 20th, 1994 - Version 0.11b
-
- o No bugs, yay!
-
- o Added a MUCH faster "SCAN" parameter, and it cleans up even
- more than the original. In tests, a 5 minute original SCAN
- now takes about 8 seconds.
-
- o Article reading is now buffered, increasing speed of reading
- articles. Not noticable on smaller systems, but users with
- heavy network traffic will notice a STAGGERING speed increase.
-
- o Widened the displaying article screen by two lines (from 13
- characters to 15) Some have asked for larger, but the problem
- lies in the fact, that it would on average take much longer
- to redraw the bottom box after erasing it when people flip
- through articles quickly. The extra two lines make it noticably
- easier to read.
-
- o Added the ability for users to deselect/select sports topics
- that are interesting to them.. NOTE! If the SELECTOR.TBL
- file that comes down from PSI should change it's catagory numbers
- (for example, College Football changes from 20 to 23, then the
- users selected areas WILL BE OFF) The next beta will auto-resync
- the users should PSI ever decide to play around with the order
- of the sports categories.
-
- o You may notice the (D)ownload options visable (but greyed out)
- The functions are shortly behind. It is NOT a registered only
- feature - just that it's not quite complete yet. Heck, if you
- register it though, it could be more of an insentive for me
- to finish it up quickly... <grin>
-
-
-
- Dec 1st, 1994 - Version 0.10b
-
- o First release of the program
-
