- Notes on v3.4 (25.7.93)
- -----------------------
- This is an intermediate release which fixes a prominent bug in the
- plain 68000 program version: the program structure was damaged, so
- trying to run it from shell would produce error #235 (bad loadfile
- hunk). Only the plain 68000 version was affected, so I changed a few
- (well, actually quite a lot) pc-relative references to static data and
- recompiled the program. Since I couldn't resist the temptation, I also
- took care of some last-minute features which did not seem to work
- properly and also rebuilt the 68020+ version. The changes include:
-
- - The minimum serial read quantum was lowered to 16 bytes.
-
- - The program will no longer load program settings files as phonebook
- files.
-
- - The review buffer window now supports cut & paste again, please note
- that the changes forced the old keyboard handling routines back in.
- The Control and Alt keys and the function keys no longer work as
- they did before.
-
- - The ARexx interface command `WAIT' now finds multiple occurences of
- several search patterns in a single line. Previous releases used to
- find only the first occurence and would discard the rest.
-
- - The quick dial menu would refuse to enter entries into the dialing
- list if they were already present in it. Originally, I had intended
- the quick dial functions to clear a present dialing list before
- adding any entries.
-
- - A user requested that the "AT&T 513" terminal command "<CSI>nG"
- would be added which was easily done.
-
- - The pen sharing support routines available when running under
- control of Kickstart 3.0 used to release the wrong pens.
