Versions history

1.53  (09/29/00) :
New interface :
 	Easy Applet Builder has a completely new interface. It allows you to navigate quicly between an applet parameter, to navigate quicly between all applets and to get a preview or the HTML code at any time since the buttons ‘Show preview’ and ‘HTML’ remain visible when you customize an applet.
       Interface Upgrades :
             - The preview is now opened in a new window of the browser. So you don’t need to refresh the page anymore.
5 New applets :
- CyclingColorsText : This applet displays a text with letters colors changing with time.
- FontImageScrolling: This applet displays a scrolling text, but the font used can be customize: You draw your own letters in an image file and the applet will read the letters and scroll the text.
- Graph: This applet read data from a data text file and plots the data on a graph.
- Memory: A classic game: find the pairs.
- Table: Draw a table with data from a data text file. You can set the colors, a title row, …
       Bugs fixed :
           - An exception occured when the program was closed under Windows 2000 (tm). Fixed in this version.
           - The software installer was in French.

1.4  (09/04/00) :
6 New applets :
   - SoundPlayer : This applet provides an interface to play AU sound files. You give a list of sound files and the user can play the clips. The user can choose a clip in the list and click the play button to play it, you can play the next, the previous clip, or stop the current one. The current clip name is scrolled from right to left. You can activate the auto play if you want the first clip to be played when the applet starts.

   - ImageViewer : This applet provides an interface to view and slide images. You give a list of images and the user can view them. The user can choose an image in the list , click to view the next or the previous one or activate the slide show. You can activate the auto slide show if you want the slide show to start when the applet starts.

   - ScrollUpDown : Scroll a text vertically. You can set the text height, color, offset…

     - ImagePointer : This applet displays an image which follows the mouse pointer when it is over the applet area. You can decide whether this image is still visible or not when the mouse pointer is out of the applet area.

   -  ImageConvex2 : Do the same effect as ImageConvex, that is to say a convexity disc, but the disc follows the mouse pointer over the image. You can set the disc radius and convexity intensity.

   - ImageLight2 : Do the same effect as ImageLight, that is to say a light disc over an image but the disc follows the mouse pointer when it is over the image. You can set the light color and the disc radius.

- Interface upgrades :
   - You can now read a small description of each applet in the main window.
   - There are now many small help buttons in the software. When you click you get an help message to help you to fill out the parameters. So I have removed the hints.
   -  Easy Applet Builder recalls now all the values, even in Step 3. The values from Step1 and 2 are saved individually, that is to say the common values saved in the case of ‘Buttonlink’ are different from those in the case of ‘CheckBoxLink’ for instance. You can unactivate this by going in ‘Options’.
   -  Easy Applet Builder includes a WAVE files to AU files converter. Useful to convert your waves to valid AU sounds files which can be used as Onload, Onmouseover or Onclick sounds in Step 2, for instance. Since it’s easy to get au files now, I have removed most of the au samples in the ‘images&sounds’ directory, in order to reduce Easy Applet Builder size. Note: The wav2au converter read most of wave files but it can’t read a few ones.

- Old applets upgrades :
   - All applets with link feature: All the applets now support FTP links, like 
     ‘ftp:login:pass:21@server.com’ and recognize special characters in URLs.
   - All applets with mouseover sound feature : Until v1.3 the mouseover sound stops when the mouse pointer exits out of the applet area. Because the mouse pointer can enter and exit quickly, the mouseover sound was stopped quickly. Now, in this version, the mouseover sound is played until the end.
   - ImageLight : The light color can now be set with a color box dialog.
   - WhoIsVisitor : You can now set the sender email. Sometimes mail severs need a valid email: If the server is on a certain domain name, 'domain.com'  for instance, then an email like something@domain.com is required. The ‘last visited page’ used to contain ugly characters like ‘%’. The format string is better now.
   -  LoginBox : You can now set the logins, passwords and links with the interface. When you type in the password field you see ‘****’, no more the password !

        - Bugs fixed :
      - ImageExtend and ImageConvex had problems with the numerical format of the parameters (now the valid values are integers, no more floats).
      -  MenuPopup : It was impossible to change the text color.
      -  Interface : When you put a No Java Message, the line ‘alt=”...message...’ was appearing in the Html code. Now the message only appears, no more ‘alt=’.

1.3( 06 /22 /00) :
- A new applet : Polygons which displays polygons in the style of a classic screensaver.
- Minor updates : ListLink and LoginBox now work with target frame.
- Bugs fixed : 
  - Changing the button color in Step 3 of the ‘ButtonLink’ applet was impossible. 
  - Bug in ‘WhoIsVisitor’. The popup still remained.
  - A few applets kept on displaying the popup to the TaijiSoftware site, even if the software was registered. 
  - The sounds in the ‘images&sounds’ directory were .au files, but not Netscape AU format.

1.2.1( 05 /25 /00) :
- I have removed the field ‘Domain name’ in step 1 because many people didn’t know what their domain name was and then a pop up used to open to my site when an applet started. Now the applets are no longer domain name dependant. I will add an ‘expert menu’ later, where people will be able to activate again the domain name dependance.
- When you register Easy Applet Builder you download now only the serial number and not the shareware version plus the serial number. Then you enter this number in any shareware version you have.

1.2	( 05 /10 /00) :
- 2 new applets : MenuPopup : displays a popup menu by clicking on the applet area or when the mouse is over. Useful to let visitors navigate in your site; MenuFrame : displays a small frame with a classic menu to let users navigate in your site. 
- Because many people had problems to enter a valid domain name in Step 1, the applets now display the domain name where they stand in the Java console of your browser.
- Easy Applet Builder can recall the values you have entered in steps 1, 2 and 4 last time.
- Hints are shown in steps 1, 2 and 4 so as to help you to set the parameters.
- An 'options' button shows an options menu in which you can choose to display the hints or not, and to recall the last values or not. 

1.1 ( 04 /05 /00) :
- 2 new applets : Puzzle : a game in which your purpose is to remake the initial image, and CropImages2, another images slide show.
- LightOn has now a customizable link to a web page when you finish the game.
- Easy Applet Builder has now the memory of the last directories you have used to choose images or sounds,  or to copy files into. 
- A bit sounds samples have been added in the directory ‘images&sounds’. You can use 
  them in the applets.
- Bug fixed : Easy Applet Builder didn’t want to copy applet files or all files in a root (like ‘C:\’). It’s ok now.

1.0  (03/07/00) :
       -34 Java applets.
