- Version History
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 2.1.4 (03/06/93) Yet another Maintenance Release
- ~~~~~
- • No changes in documentation from 2.1.1 (except for the registration page)
- ** Bugs fixed **
- • Preferences now set properly for initial startup - initial font size
- was previously set to zero and the initial window placement was *way*
- off to the side! (This happened when I put in code to allow users to
- select default window size, and forgot to set up the initial default
- size when setting up an EditPrefs file for the first time.).
-
- 2.1.3 (02/28/93) Maintenance Release
- ~~~~~
- • No changes in documentation from 2.1.1 (except for the registration page)
- • Removed code which stores $FFFFFFFF in location 0 to trap references to
- that location.
-
- 2.1.2 (02/14/93) Maintenance Release
- ~~~~~
- • No changes in documentation from 2.1.1 (except for the registration page)
- ** Bugs fixed **
- • Files now properly closed when windows are dismissed (should eliminate
- 'file busy, can't empty trash' problems).
- • Files on remote networks aren't doubled when saved. [SetEOF doesn't
- reset the file pointer in remote files]
-
- 2.1.1 (10/12/92) Maintenance Release
- ~~~~~
- • No changes in documentation from 2.1 (except for the registration page)
- ** Bugs fixed **
- • Doing 'Save As' with the same filename gave a -47 error [Tried to delete
- an existing file of the same name] 2.1.1 now closes the file before
- doing a delete.
-
- 2.1 (09/24/92)
- ~~~
- ** New Features **
- • Reverse printing is now optional (accessible from the Print dialog box).
- • Autowrap now implemented (thanks to all who requested it). What happens is
- that the first space after the wrap column is automagically converted into a
- space. If the cursor happens to be clicked in the middle of a line and typing
- starts, then the rest of the line is not pushed over the wrap margin until
- the space is typed.
- • Wrap on open implemented (useful for opening TeachText files).
- • Respects file access rights (should be great for all you who wanted to use
- Edit II on networked files).
- • Can set default size for new window (great for those with HUGE screens).
- • command-up arrow does a page up while command-down arrow does a page down
- (this was devised for PowerBook users - like me).
- • A bullet appears in front of the names of the unsaved files in the Windows
- menu.
- ** Bugs fixed **
- • Transfer now doesn't reopen files.
- • Additional menus (such as fax modem menus) don't corrupt the menu bar.
- • Double-clicking on an Edit II alias doesn't keep the cursor to the watch.
- • Clicking on Cancel in the Quit dialog box doesn't cause an immediate quit.
- • Clicking on No on the Quit dialog box doesn't skip all the other windows.
- • Unwrap now marks the window as being changed.
- • File names containing ; ^ ! < / and ( are now set up properly in the
- windows menu. (AppendMenu doesn't like these characters!)
-
- 2.0.2 (05/14/92)
- ~~~~~
- *** New Features ***
- • Global settings (default font, size, creator; linefeed stripping; other
- miscellaneous settings) now accessible from Preferences command in Options
- menu.
- • Cursor jumping with the '-' key is now an optional feature (from the
- Preferences dialog).
- • Y/N/C can be used instead of clicking on the Yes/No/Cancel buttons.
- Command-period works for cancel in all dialogs (I tested most of them!).
- All dialogs now feature highlighted default buttons.
- • Stationery-aware for all you System 7 people. Stationery documents store
- text and settings and will open as Untitled. Rebuild desktop to see new
- stationery icon (or use SaveABndl like I do).
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Double-clicking on a file too large to fit in memory now lets you know
- of the problem.
- • Balancing parentheses/braces/brackets in a large file now works (used
- an int for a long).
- • Menu hiliting has been streamlined.
- • Inadvertant switching when toggling num lock on or off under
- Apollo/PwrSwitcher has been fixed (put an extra delay in between ADB calls).
-
- 2.0.1 (03/12/92)
- ~~~~~
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Double-clicking to open an Edit II text file while Edit II was running
- frequently gave an File Manager error #-43 (file not found). Would also
- manifest itself as crashing when choosing Open... (Forgot to clear
- pb.ioFDirIndex).
- • Turned off 'Get FrontClicks' bit in SIZE resource to prevent erroneous
- clicks when switching into Edit II.
-
- 2.0 (03/07/92) "A whole new release"
- ~~~
- *** New Features ***
- • Major rearrangement (again) of the command key equivalents to be in line with
- the Apple User Interface Guidelines. Check out the menus.
- • New documentation (in MacWrite format).
- • New Goodies menu which includes new functionality - Wrap, Unwrap and Remove
- Invisibles.
- • Windows menu has Tile, Layer, Close All, Save All.
- • Support for (virtually) unlimited windows -- subject to memory!
- • Page up/down does *not* change insertion point (as per interface guidelines).
- • Shift-arrows work OK now (selection extension).
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Cursor now tracks properly (I-beam is properly set!)
- • Menu purged ID=84 error fixed (Menu #100 was set purgeable - a no-no!)
- • Resource-less file (and new windows) now takes on the default font and size.
-
- 1.2.7 (10/29/91) "Lean, mean and 32bit clean"
- ~~~~~
- We're now 32bit clean! No, you didn't miss 1.2.5 and 1.2.6!
- *** New Features ***
- • You might want to rebuild the Desktop since I've included some colored icons
- for System 7.0. The black 'n white icon has been slightly modified (added a pixel).
- • Size menu now friendlier under System 7.0, especially with TrueType/ATM fonts.
- • Larger and Smaller font size options added.
- • Reversed the version history in the ReadMe file so that the latest is at the top!
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Copy & Cut now not restricted to 32K of text (you should have sufficient space
- though, a check is made to ensure that twice the space is available - may be a
- bad heuristic but it seems to work ok).
- • Doing a Copy followed by closing the window did not transfer the stuff copied
- to the system scrap. This has been fixed.
- • Slight rearrangement (again) of the command key equivalents. Select All is now
- cmd-A, Find Again is now cmd-D.
-
- 1.2.4 (09/14/91) Maintenance Release
- ~~~~~

- • GetEditPrefs: IOError=-39 when trying to read pre-1.2.3 EditPrefs file (file
- size different)
- • Does not crash under UniFinder, now uses WaitNextEvent exclusively.
-
- 1.2.3 (08/24/91)
- ~~~~~
- • EditPrefs file now contains print headers flag, number of spaces per tab.
- • Close now has cmd-W as the command key. Consequently, Replace is now cmd-R,
- Replace and Find Again is cmd-Y, Page Setup is cmd-; and Print is cmd-P.
- • Print headers on each page is now optional.
- • Number of spaces per tab is now a global value and can be saved as a preference.
- This means that Set Tabs... will affect all future new windows and can be saved
- into the EditPrefs file.

- *** Bugs fixed ***

-
- 1.2.1 (05/16/91) Maintenance release.
- ~~~~~
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Cursor updating now done via MultiFinder 'cursor moved' event rather than
- everytime through the main event loop (cosmetic 'bug' since I noticed that the

- to the editing window).
- • Clipboard contents are updated when the program is quit.
-
- 1.2 (05/04/91)
- ~~~

- file if this is changed during edit.
-
- 1.1 (04/05/91)
- ~~~
- • EditPrefs file in the Preferences folder of the System Folder now contains the
- setup of the options, font, size and creator which were saved last. Default
- settings are: the following options are enabled (Auto Indent and SmartStrip),
- font is Monaco, size is 9 and creator is EDIT. Preferences file is not created
- if System Folder is on a locked disk (e.g. network server or locked local disk).
- • Balance command added to Edit menu to balance parentheses, braces and
- brackets.
- • Remove LFs command added to Edit menu to remove all linefeeds from window,
- if Strip LF or SmartStrip are not selected.
- • Select All added to Edit menu.
- *** Bugs fixed ***
- • Typing the letter ‘O’ while in CursorPad mode would cause a cursor down
- operation in 1.0.2.
- • If Caps Lock key is down (and the Caps Lock LED is on) then hitting
- num lock to set CursorPad mode would turn off the Caps Lock LED.
- • NumLock LED would stay on when printing from the Finder.
- • ID=12 Bomb eliminated on quit from Edit II, due to calling non-existent ADB
- routines on Mac Plusses and below.
- (Operational tweak: removed Think's ANSI library to save a lot of space!)
