The list of bug fixes and new features that was included with previous
versions of MasterBrowse has been removed to save space. Only recent
changes are shown in this file. The documentation has, of course, been
updated to reflect all changes made to MasterBrowse since the first
version. The list is in chronological order, so the new information is
at the end of the file.
MasterBrowse 4.0:
The new version of MasterBrowse was compiled with Sozobon C 2.00 (extended
by Jerry G. Geiger). This results in a smaller executable, which operates
faster and uses far less memory than previous versions of MasterBrowse.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse now handles TAB expansion correctly.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now allows wildcards in search strings. The
following UNIX wildcard characters are accepted:
[] - Entering "b[ai]rd" would cause MasterBrowse to stop
searching on the strings "bard" and "bird".
Entering "[a-h]og" would cause MasterBrowse to stop
searching on the strings "bog", "dog", "fog", and
"hog". MasterBrowse would not stop searching on
"log", though, because the first letter of that
word is not within the accepted range.
* - Entering "work*" would cause MasterBrowse to stop
searching on the strings "work", "worker", "working",
"worked", and others.
? - Entering "wor?" would cause MasterBrowse to stop
searching on the strings "word", "work", "worm", and
others.
! - This is the refusal operator! Entering "[!a-k]og" would
cause MasterBrowse to stop searching on the word "log",
but ignore the words "bog", "dog", "fog", and "hog".
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now uses round radio buttons and checkboxes with
crosses.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer crash while printing. (This only
happened in certain situations.)
REMOVAL: In an effort to reduce the size of MasterBrowse, the use of
compressed text files is no longer supported; this reduces
the overall size of MasterBrowse 17K and reduces memory
consumption by 92K (most of which is due to the new
compiler).
NEW FEATURE: The "Save Options", "Save Options As...", and "Load Options..."
options are no longer found in the varous "options" dialog
boxes. They are now menu entries found under the "Window"
menu.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer cause problems if your colour
index settings are higher than the maximum number of colours
available in the current resolution. If this happens,
MasterBrowse will simply use default colours.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now allows you to control dialog boxes with the
keyboard; hold down the Alternate key and press the key
corresponding to the underlined letter in the button you want
to select.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer crash if you select "Save Document
Batch..." while progress displays are enabled.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer skip files when saving a document
batch. (This only happened if the document batch contained
two files.)
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse now handles iconification in medium resolution
correctly.
MasterBrowse 4.1:
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer refresh the screen if you try to
move beyond the top or bottom of a document.
NEW FEATURE: If you try to load a document that is already in memory,
MasterBrowse will now warn you and ask you if the document
should be loaded anyway.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer allow you to enter wildcards in
the file selector (an upcoming version of MasterBrowse will
have full wilcard handling).
BUG FIX: If you try to load an empty file, MasterBrowse will warn
you that the file is empty and abort the operation.
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer allow you to scroll beyond
the left boundary of a document. (This was the result of
a compiler bug.)
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will now always show the correct name for the
clipboard, even if you load multiple clipboards.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse will no longer attempt to write to a window that
has been hidden (shadowed) by Winx.
BUG FIX: The installation program will no longer overwrite existing
ROOT.ENV files; if there is a ROOT.ENV file on the disk
already, MasterBrowse will simply append its own
environment variables to the end of the file.
BUG FIX: The installation program will now look in the \geneva
folder for the GEM.CNF file if it does not find it in
the root directory when installing MasterBrowse for
Geneva.
BUG FIX: The installation program will now correctly report the
version of MasterBrowse that it is installing.
MasterBrowse 4.2:
[a failed attempt was made to solve the file selector problem]
MasterBrowse 4.4:
BUG FIX: MasterBrowse will no longer request a disk swap when it is
executed. This problem was solved (for ESS-Code, actually,
but the solution still applies) by the users of the
MausNet.
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse will now emulate the TOS 1.4 file selector for
systems that have an earlier version of TOS.
MasterBrowse 4.5:
NEW FEATURE: MasterBrowse now has even more powerful windowed dialog box
editing capabilities. The following keys can be used inside
a windowed dialog box:
UNDO = Exit (Cancel)
Return =
