WHATS.NEW DEFRAG 3.01
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
02/27/96 ver. 3.01 Took a day off for my birthday and fixed one
annoying bug where the # of messages processed
wasn't showing up in DEFRAG.LOG. Fixed. The
code was there; dunno why it skipped over it.
12/25/95 ver. 3.00 The sky is falling!! No, it's a new DEFRAG
release! Two YEARS in the making, it's now 22%
faster, supports WWIV 4.24 and message bases
containing more than 255 messages, AND hasn't
changed one bit since!
Oh, except that it beeps and pauses longer
when unregistered... but there are no limitations
on the number of subs it'll handle, so if you
aren't registered, be honest and pay for the
program if you plan to use it.
12/26/93 ver. 2.20 Release version 2.20
Fully supports WWIV v4.23, including
multiple instances/multiple lines
Command-line commands changed:
/X and /C are GONE
/Dxx accepts one sub TO DEFRAGment
/Dxx-yy accepts a RANGE of subs to DEFRAGment
Reduced code size/overhead due to above
Executable is compressed & encrypted, and does
a self-check each time it's run to detect
errors, viruses, etc.
DEFRAG runs slightly faster when run on 1 instance
(not speed-tested by me on more than one)
05/08/93 ver. 2.10 TOTALLY BUG-FREE!! FINALLY.
Added three new command-line options:
/S[+|-] -- turns sound on/off (works on
unregistered copies as well)
/Xnn ----- excludes sub #nn from being
DEFRAGmented - repetitive, same as /C.
/W[+|-] -- tells DEFRAG to strip WWIV color codes
() from sub names. ONLY use if you
do have heart codes in there, other-
wise it just slows things down some
Fixed logic oversight where if a sub was defragged
on its own (/Cnn) and there were no messages in it
(even if EMAIL.DAT defragging was on), DEFRAG would
bomb and not show a report. DEFRAG will now show
the report if EMAIL.DAT defragging is on, and a
quasi-error message if only one empty sub is speci-
fied to be defragmented.
Fixed several bugs in report screen
Optimized some code (not a lot) to run a little
faster (my main concern with this release is
squashing all bugs -- I'll deal with raw speed at a
later date perhaps). NO error-checking code was
removed (in fact, some was added), as I firmly
believe it should stay to prevent minor disasters
Help screens look better, print out faster (no
big deal - just a quirk of mine)
Other minor logic errors and cosmetic changes and
improvements.
04/18/93 ver. 2.09ß Semi-public beta release
Last chance to test for bugs before public release
of 2.10
04/14/93 ver. 2.08ß Non-public beta release
1 meg bug WAS fixed in 2.00!!! Either I just used
the wrong compiling options, or there's a serious
bug in the compiler itself!!! AAARRGGHH!!!
DEFRAG 2.xx will be compiled under Borland C++
from now on.
02/14/93 ver. 2.00 FULL support for WWIV 4.22.
FIXED problem with message bases being larger
than 1 meg.
NO compiling needed!
Registration policy added
DEFRAG's logging (DEFRAG.LOG) is now ON by default
REMOVES messages with no text (no more 80k files!)
REPAIRS messages with multiple references!
Informs user of # of multiply-referenced and/or
empty messages
Now shows either seconds or minutes it took to run
DEFRAG, depending on how long it took (e.g., 59
seconds or 1.56 minutes, but not 85 seconds)
Converts subs to new storage types (minor repair)
and best of all... a GRAPHICAL SCREEN !!!
Too many cosmetic and misc. changes to list
