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"

- 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.
