- Changes for v 0.1:
-
- - Fonts changed. Install the new fonts to avoid problems. For safety,
- delete all old MicroANSI fonts
- - Serial configuration should be fixed. Delete the old config.
- - Modem configuration added
- - simple dial added
- - AREXX commands added (only for test reasons):
-
- ARexxPort Name : AMIGARIP
-
- TIMEOUT TIME/N : sets timeout for WAIT
- SEND TEXT/F : sends the text to the serial
- WAIT TEXT/F : waits for the specified text until found or
- timeout. Timeout=0 waits until found
-
- - a lot of code changes
- - XPR working, but problems after transfer.
- - deferred queries should work fine. Try clicking the window when asked
- for RETURN
-
- New RIP Commands:
- - RIP_OVAL
- - RIP_ARC (need to change code to recognize aspect ratios)
- - RIP_OVAL_ARC
- - RIP_PIE_SLICE (same as RIP_ARC)
- - RIP_OVAL_PIE_SLICE
-

- - X
- - Y
- - XY
- - XYM

- Things to improve:
- - flood fill routines

- - arc routines and circle don't use aspect ratio
- - new commands and variables
-
- Changes for v 0.0c:
-
- - Text positioning should be ok now. Worst case of 1 pixel difference due
- to round errors
- - RIP_BAR doesn't draw a border anymore
- - local playback requester added
- - files for local playback are inserted at an internal list and are played
- when the terminal is free (no special actions being processed)
- - some bugs with splitted lines should be fixed though some may cause
- screen scrolling if text wrap active
- - some functions added. See below
- - Serial Configuration added
- - makes use of OwnDevUnit.library (if present) to gain access to the serial
- device
- - uses EasyRequester now to show errors (only in the worst cases)
- - fonts are now separated to avoid scaling problems
- - other things I don't remember
- - some XPR bugs found (the XPR isn't reliable yet, I'll fix soon)
-

-
- - RIP_TEXT_WINDOW : supports all fonts via scaling (doesn't give good
- results with 7 pixels wide fonts). Waiting Mike Nelson to send the rest
