GIFwatcher 2.1.2 contains the following changes from the 2.1.1 version:
* Added a feature that displays interlaced images by expanding the earliest
received scan lines into the gaps in between. Too bad there aren't many
interlaced images out there -- this is a fun feature.
* Made some interface changes.
* Recompiled with updated THINK C. Older version of THINK C had some
compiler bugs that could have potentially caused problems (though I
know of no specific examples).
* Fixed the documentation that had been mangled by Microsoft Word's flaky
conversion of Word files into MacWrite files. I just plain gave up on
using curly apostophes -- Word dutifully strips them from the MacWrite
versions of a file -- as well as other characters like bullets. You can
load the current file into Word just fine. Word seems to do its damage
when you save in MacWrite format.
GIFwatcher 2.1.1 contains the following changes from the 2.1.0 version:
* Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when GIFwatcher auto-opened a GIF
file while running in the background.
* Extended "About" information.
GIFwatcher 2.1.0 contains the following changes from the 2.0.3 version:
* Much faster decompression for most files.
* Can read GIF89a format.
* Full GIF87a compliance - now supports multiple images, local color tables,
images with no global color table, background color specification.
* Improved selection and scaling features.
* Fixed bug that caused a crash if the user quit GIFwatcher while in full-
display mode.
* Separate 68020 version no longer included (or needed).
GIFwatcher 2.0.3 contains the following changes from the 2.0.2 version:
* Fixed an obscure screen glitch -- using "Faster GIF Open..." on
a partial GIF file while the status text was hidden would cause
the progress display to be shown againts a dark or black background.
* Improved Command-period cancellation response.
* Added a note to the documentation for Microphone users -- Hold down
the option key when selecting "Open GIF..." if you intend to use
the automatic-open feature.
GIFwatcher 2.0.2 contains the following changes from the 2.0.1 version:
* Added ability to Save PICT ID = 0 resource files (start-up screen
format).
* Added image color-inversion.
* Added preference choice for allowing menu bar to remain when using
full-display mode. This may help with the incompatibility some user's
have had using GIFwatcher with AOL.
* Fixed bug that causes crash when PICT saves were attempted on Macs
without Color Quickdraw.
GIFwatcher 2.0.1 contains the following changes from the 2.0 version:
* Added an automatic-open feature so that new GIFs are detected and
displayed without user intervention. Just start the download and
and the image will appear.
* Enabled Cut/Copy under the edit menu to copy images to the clipboard.
* Fixed a scrolling bug.
* Fixed a bug related to using "Faster GIF Open..." on empty files.
