Revision History

Release 1.38

Add special link to allow printing without display the "print dialog".

Release 1.37

Add special links for Home, Back and Print to enable these functions even when the toolbar/menu isn't there (clean screen mode)

Release 1.36

New HTML rendering engine with minor enhancements for table handling.

Release 1.35

Fix repeated rapid pressing of the Font button sometimes causing a GPF.

Release 1.34

Bugfix for splash screen sometimes not appearing.

Release 1.32

Bugfix for sometimes off-centre evaluation reminder screen. Slight change (bug fix) to algorithm for translating long to short fileneames.

Release 1.30

Fix for "Print All" ignoring user's current selection of Font size and not always printing the graphics.

Release 1.29

Fix for obscure bug that sometimes caused images to go black in 256 color mode if one of the images was transparent and the InfoCourier window was completely covered by another graphics application that involved palette switching.

Release 1.28

Fix for splash screen sometimes appearing off-screen to the right in some configurations.

Release 1.27

Added ability to specify own splash screen. Place a bitmap called icsplash.bmp in the directory that contains the "home page" and it will be used as the splash screen.

Release 1.26

Added Client Side Image Map Support. Removed 32K page limit.
Fixed "Print-All" printing multiple copies of a page.
Several other minor bug-fixes.

Release 1.22 and 1.24

Internal Testing Versions, not released.

Release 1.20a

Added Font button to toolbar, allowing cycling through the available font sizes.
Fixed bug that could prevent finding correct graphics in deeply nested directories.
Fixed bug that sometimes prevented jumps to anchors within pages (<A HREF="r4.htm#bref_240">Festival</A> for example).
Modified color palette handling on 256 color systems such that when switching back to InfoCourier after having switched away the original palette is re-realized and graphics re-appear correctly. Note that InfoCourier uses an equally spaced "rainbow" palette, in order to accomodate multiple images with wildly different palettes on a single page and still make them all look "reasonable". Because of this it is more susceptible to color shifts when it loses the focus, but should always reappear correctly when it regains focus. This does not of course apply to systems with color resolution better than 256.

Release 1.18

Enhanced form processing to allow the results of multiple forms that had been stacked to be retained after an Email, Print or Save action. This allows the user to for example both print and save to a file the results of form input. Introduces new "PRINTC? EMAILC? and FILEC? actions which perform the action and clear the stack. The original PRINT? EMAIL? and FILE? actions no longer automatically clear the stack.
Modified call to HTML editor in design mode to pass the complete filename including path and drive information.
Fixed possible failure of Security DLL to be recognised if compiled in a different InfoCourier "session" from the one that created the distributable.

Release 1.16

Removed inconsistent bitmaps from message dialogs (a green tick on an OK button for example).
Removed the tiny bars at the top and bottom in "Clean Screen" mode.
Splash screen suppressed when called with a Help Context_Id.
Fix for sometimes transposing HelpContext Id's and Security Levels.
Fix for IE3 style buttons sometimes not bringing the window to the front when clicked on.

Release 1.14

Added ability to link to user-definable HTML editor in design mode, and refresh current page.
Allowed links to any type of external file, i.e. .txt files which will cause Notepad (or other associated program) to execute. Links to .exe files still run the external program.
Toolbar changed to IE3 style.
Fix for background graphic sometimes not displaying on home page in design mode.
Fix for sometimes failing to correctly find long filename files particularly those with 4 character extensions on Win95.

Release 1.12

Added ability to execute external programs.
Added ability to save form input to file.
Added ability to "stack" form responses so that entries from multiple forms can be printed/emailed/saved in one go.

Release 1.10

Added Long Filename support.
Added ImageMap support.
Added optional locking of styles to prevent the end user selecting different fonts/colors.
Added "Clean Screen" mode.
Fix for forms with multiple hidden elements sometimes dropping an edit box.

Release 1.02

Added support for Align tag in images.
Corrected bug that could sometimes cause the display of HTML comments.
