------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Text Editor ver1.13 RimArts, Inc. ,1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from ver1.12 - Bug fix: Abnormally terminated when the file which contains ".lzh" in the middle of the file name is opened. - Showing Vertical/Horizontal scroll bar options. Those options were removed in ver1.12 but they came back. Changes from ver1.11 - Bug fix: Could not open the file whose pass name is longer than 128. - Bug fix: Comment blocks were not colored correctly in the case when long lines are wrapped without return codes. - Bug fix: Some minor bugs in Dana Script. - etc. ------------ Ver1.10 ------------------------------------- * Important - Compatibility From this version, you can no more use Dana on Windows3.1 with Win32s nor WindowsNT3.5 or older. If you have to use those OS, don't upgrade please. We are sorry but the world of Windows doesn't allow us to keep those compatibilities and to keep up the new technologies at a same time. Please run the new Dana on Windows95 or NT4.0, at least NT3.51. (We haven't tested on NT3.51 but it may work) - Installation If you are already using Dana.ver1.04 or older, we recommend you to setup this new version to a new folder, not the folder old version is installed. You could overwrite the old folder so that all the setting will be inherited, but in that case, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO BACKUP ALL FILES IN THE OLD FOLDER BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE THEM. Because sometimes old data files make the new version crash because of some compatibility problem. We tried to remove all that kind of risk as possible as we could. But each user's setting varies so we could not remove all the potential problems. - HTML support You could see HTML tags in different color in the old version. In the new version, you can, too. But if you overwrite the new version to the old version, it doesn't work. You will need some work to make it effective. You need to configure "Block Comments" setting in the "Keywords" property. First, select HTML keywords in the combobox in "Tool"->"Preferences"->"Keywords". Then click "Block Comments" button to configure the block comments. Add the following settings. Begin:"<" End:">" Color:whatever you want, Keywords in Block:Color Click "Add" Begin:"" Color:whatever you want Keywords in Block:none Click "Add" Begin:"" Color:whatever you want, Keywords in Block:Color Click "Add" - Changes on Dana Script You can't pass static string to user defined procedures any more. This change may affect some old script including "Michelle.das". Please modify those scripts as follows: Proc MyProc 'st$ is declared as a global variable outside the routine MyFunc(st$) '<-Error!! End Proc Proc MyProc Dim d$ d$ = st$ '<- Copy to the local variable like this MyFunc(d$) End Proc Other than that,Dana Scripts has some changes in specification. If you find some old scripts don't work. Please check the DanaScr.hlp. * New features - Bookmark listing dialog is improved. You don't have to open and close the dialog everytime you want to see the list. It will stay resident as the part of the frame window. And you have multiple indent levels on marked lines. - Spell checker is integrated finally. Dana incorporates WinterTree Software's "Sentry Spell Checker" engine. - Real word wrapping is supported. Sorry, it should have been supported earlier. - Auto Formatting mode is further improved. It was originally called "Word Wrap" mode, but it has changed the name because real word wrapping is supported. - You can specify file types when you create new files. - "Stay Resident" mode is supported. - Colored block comment like /**/ in C language is now supported. You can define your custom comment blocks. - And a lot lot more!!
