AutoWinNet - What's New



Cool new features:



Version 4.0 Beta 1

  • 1. Fixed web download zero file size
  • 2. Fixed the "email tech support" problem that said "no autownet.key found"


Version 4.0 Beta 1

  • 1. Big news: I replaced the .OCX FTP library with another, and reduced the program's size substantially. Also, the FTP steps are much faster, and run smoother, and the installation of AutoWinNet is almost a MEGABYTE smaller than before.
  • 2. Fixed the "I be cruisin" bug in the scheduler. That message was originally intended for debugging, but I accidentally left it in during release ;-)
  • 3. Internet Loafer 4.7 is now built into the full installation


Version 3.2

  • 1. Fixed the "index out of bounds" error
  • 2. Web download now allows you to specify the filename to "save as". This fixes problem where web pages with "*" or "?" characters would not save.
  • 3. Scheduler is now compatible with non-USA timezones. You might have to RE-SCHEDULE some events for changes to take effect.
  • 4. Added pop-up hints to most of the step creation entry boxes
  • 5. Numerous minor changes and improvements


Version 3.1

  • 1. Added Gravity (tm) newsreader support
  • 2. Added more Agent (tm) newsreader functionality
  • 3. Fixed scheduler "COMCTRL32.DLL" error
  • 4. Fixed browsing path cutting off last subdir
  • 5. Fixed WWW Proxy information not being sent correctly


Version 3.0

  • 1. Another scheduler problem - fixed
  • 2. File drive path evaluation routine was not working - fixed
  • 3. Converted helpfile to HTML
  • I also upgraded the Internet Loafer. Check it out (it's free!)


Version 2.7

2.7 is basically version 3.0, but in a pre-release format. I eliminated the need for two .OCX files (uses less memory, updated the Email libraries, stuck in a new Usenet News library, plus various fixes from version 2.5. Important: The help file is going away in version 3. I am converting all help into HTML.

  • 1. Fixed Scheduler problem (wouldn't run agendas.. oops)
  • 2. Fixed "Delete Agenda" wouldn't delete agenda
  • 3. Fixed numbers not saving properly if the little number scroller was beside it. I removed all number scrollers! (I think this is a problem in Delphi 3)


Version 2.6

  • Added support for web authenticated logins
  • Added line selection mode for agenda steps
  • New Post News Article step
  • Fixed Agent Newsreader step creation problem
  • Greatly enhanced the Email editor
  • Dressed up the Web download step edit box
  • Various fixes

Scheduler:

  • You can now edit scheduled events (just double-click)
  • New IE-style buttons and cursors
  • Added line mode for scheduled item listview
  • More right menu options from task tray


Version 2.5

The entire program has basically been "re-written" using an updated programming language, and totally new Internet controls About 2,000+ lines of code were changed, and a massive testing effort to ensure nothing broke in the process. If anything suddenly stops working, please let me know immediately.

As a result, AutoWinNet95 is much faster now, has no pallette conflicts with other programs, the runtime Internet transfers are cleaner, and you'll notice an big overall performance boost.

  • Updated entire program into Delphi 3
  • Changed some controls to be more "Windows standard"
  • Enhanced setup dialog with new IE-style buttons, less confusing setup params
  • Added support for agent 1.11
  • Removed "download local weather forecast"
  • Removed WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and FTP Icon Connection browsing
  • Fixed news reader logins not being saved correctly
  • Enhanced FTP response time
  • Fixed auto-responder error messages
  • Added explorer-style buttons to most dialogs
  • The Auto-Responder is far too confusing for the average person. My support emails are flooded with problems related to an invalid character being typed in, etc. I have removed the Auto-Responder, and will make it a separate application, soon.
  • Fixed a problem when launching Microsoft Mail
  • Updated the FAQ on my web page
  • Added a logfile viewer
