Version History

Version History

TextSpresso was previously named Text Washer*. Versions 1.0b1 and 1.0b2 were released under the name Text Washer. Starting with 1.0b3, the name was changed to TextSpresso.

Version 1.0 (Build 1.x120) (Note: we've changed our internal numbering slightly. 1.x120 means the 120th build of the 1.x source code base. We also deleted the beta history since it's probably not of interest to non-beta testers. The changes listed below were between 1.0b5 and 1.0.)

Feature Enhancements

  1. Added the registration code.

Filter Enhancements

  1. New Text To HTML filter prepares Mac text for HTML publishing by inserting paragraph tags and HTML escape code characters.
  2. New Text To Bullet List filter converts a CR delineated list of items to an HTML bullet list.
  3. New Mac ASCII To MIME filter processes Mac special characters into MIME escape codes.
  4. New Mac ASCII To HTML filter processes Mac special characters into HTML escape codes.
  5. New Quote Text L1 and Quote Text L2 wrap and quote text Internet style to the first and second levels, respectively.
  6. Fixed a problem with both HTML Code To Mac ASCII and MIME Code To Mac ASCII. Both filters accidentally contained a couple of integers where they should have contained strings. This could have potentially crashed TextSpresso when executing the filter. These filters have also been renamed (the word Code has been removed).
  7. Fixed Remove Trademark Sym. It replaced the trademark symbol with '(TM)', when it should have just replaced with 'TM'.
  8. Deleted the utility filters <P> To CR, <TD> To Tab, and <TR> To CR. They were part of larger filters and were moved into those filters or are no longer needed.

Bug Fixes

  1. Fixed a potentially serious problem with the preferences file. In 1.0b5 if there were no values set for the Free Memory Palette (i.e. it had never been opened) and the Default Batch Editor (i.e. the user had never selected Make Default Editor with a batch document in front), then TextSpresso would keep adding entries for those preferences even though entries already existed. With each launch new entries would be added and the preferences file would grow. Eventually after many launches this could eat up much of the available Prograph heap causing a memory related crash. (This would take hundreds of launches.) Version 1.0 fixes this problem and repairs corrupted preferences files.
  2. Fixed a corrupted MENU resource which caused TextSpresso to crash on 680x0 Macs running Mac OS 7.1.
  3. Fixed a problem with TextSpresso's floating windows on Mac OS 7.1. On that version of Mac OS the title bars of the floating windows would not be drawn and the windows, therefore, could not be moved.
  4. Fixed the Batch Editor so that the Stop button works properly.
  5. Fixed the Batch Editor so that it properly disables the Add and Remove buttons when batch processing.
  6. Modified Cut and Copy so that they no longer copy style information to the clipboard (and inadvertently change the style of the text when you paste it back in your front application).
  7. Fixed a problem with the Insert Text filter type which would cause the filter to reset the end of the selection (if the user had selected a subset of text to be filtered) to the absolute end of the text. Any filters running after an Insert Text filter in a MultiFilter would then filter portions of the text the user had not selected.
  8. Fixed a problem in the Insert Text Editor where double-clicking a part would not fill in the radio buttons properly.
  9. Fixed a display problem in the Insert Text Editor part list. The integer code for the anchor was displayed rather than the label (Beginning, Middle, End).
