- Whats new in Version 1.2c? October 19, 1993
-
-
- 1. The internal editor is now modeless. What this means is you can
- "get back to" the KWQ Mail/2 main window and minimize it, or
- do anything else you wish while the editor is open. KWQ Mail/2
- allows for up to 4 editors open at once.
-
- 2. Strip 'Re:' subject prefixes now also strips the '(R)' prefix,
- supporting the bulletin boards which use this syntax
- (CPCUG MIX/RBBS).
-
- 3. Added file sort by date option in the open packet dialog.
-
- NOTE: KWQ Mail/2 version 1.2c was compiled with IBM's C Set/2++,
- not with Borland C++ for OS/2 as the documentation states.
- I have happily switched back to my old home. <g>
-
-
- Enhancements For Version 1.2b.
-
- 1. Message Envelope dialog and internal editor is now filled
- on a thread. This should result in significantly reduced time
- in opening the window.
- 2. "NR" placed at tagline for not-registered users.
- 3. Edit tagline file and edit twit file menu choices have been
- added onto the Setup menu.
-
-
- Enhancements For Version 1.2.
-
- 1. Revovering from a crash is now bullet-proof with respect to
- messages you write. Any time you create a message within KWQ,
- the file BBS.MSG is created in the .\KWQMAIL.$$$ directory.
- This is basically a QWK compatible file that has all the
- messages you write. If your system crashes (or God forbid, KWQ
- does), you will no longer lose any cruicial work. You have two
- options: 1) open KWQ and let it read this file and it will
- prompt you if you want to recover it, 2) Zip the file into
- BBS.REP and upload it to your Bulletin board.
- 2. Sped up display of message display dramatically through use of
- different drawing APIs.
- 3. Configuration option to have KWQ ignore "\n " type of lines
- during reformatting of reply text.
- 4. Show message in ANSI viewer.
- 5. Bulk marking messages to save to a file. Bookmarked messages
- can now be saved to one file.
- 5. Zip replies on demand.
- 6. Better handling of non-standard, sneaky tagline positioning when
- stealing taglines.
- 7. Allow first name of author, first name of reciepient, current
- date, current weekday, current conference, current message
- number to be put into message header or footer.
- 8. Place "All" in the "To:" portion of the message envelope.
- 9. Saved searches. KWQ now remembers the last 10 searches you did
- in a combo box for quick access.
- 10. Allow user to expand tabs in internal editor to n characters.
- 11. Page Down/Page Up buttons added to top of KWQ Mail/2 window.
- 12. Allow user to insert file to KWQ (text) in the internal editor.
- 13. Header and Footer are seperate notebook pages in the setup
- dialog for purely esthetic reasons.
- 14. Tagline initialization is now on a thread, since really large
- tagline files can cause KWQ to be sluggish when you first open the
- application.
- 15. File Time is now displayed in packet open dialog.
- 16. Read reply hotkey and menu choice added.
- 17. "Delete line" key added (Alt-D, for Brief Users) for internal editor.
- 18. Option to strip 'Re:' crap from all message subjects.
- 19. Option to automatically jump to next conference.
- 20. Option for file name expansion for save. This is a late
- breaker. Use any of the header and footer expansion characters
- in your save file specification, and KWQ will expand these into
- a file name when you save the message. For instance, use %e to
- save messages to the current conference name.
- 21. I don't know why this is critical, but many people asked for it.
- KWQ now displays the file name for the packet that is open in the
- main title.

-
- Bugs/Anomolies Fixed in Version 1.2
-
- 1. Quoting within the internal editor will now ignore previously
- quoted text when autowrapping.
- 2. Page down will now display the right portion of the message
- (shows last line of previous page at top).
- 3. Printing now prompts the user to setup the print font when doing
- a print with outline fonts without ever setting up the outline
- font to print with.
- 4. Conference "Ghost" dialog occurs using 9 Lives desktop expander.
- 5. Can't use TAB character in MLE for internal editor--you now have
- the option to expand tabs (an enhancement, too).
- 6. Headers/Footers should be available on write new.
- 7. 0x1a character occassionally showing up at end of file.
- 8. Handle quoting with names > 2 parts ("Paul von Keep").
- 9. Inserting very large messages crash KWQ using an external
- editor.
- 10. Saving messages sometimes caused a floating point exception.
- 11. Saving large messages (like "Frequently Asked Questions) would
- sometimes crash KWQ.
- 12. User bookmarks not saving properly. Saves first item in list over and
- over.
- 13. Information dialog does not have enough space for BBS name with
- long title.
- 14. "D:\" is not a valid path for QWK files or replies files.
- 15. If spooler is disabled, printing causes KWQ to shutdown.
- 16. Install program prompts for directory, and then forces the
- directory to upper case.
- 17. Conference rollover not working properly--would not display the
- right conference sometimes.
- 18. Fix add/drop conferences.
- 19. Enable keyboard only setup--you can now setup KWQ without having
- a rodent to use. To switch from the notebook control tabs to
- the internal tabs, use Alt-Up and Alt-Down. Pressing enter
- saves the changes, pressing esc aborts.
- 20. Close box in internal editor does not prompt user to save
- changes.
- 21. Reply packet creation code would fail with paths that contain
- trailing blanks. (ie-Path = 'c:\up ' )
- 22. File open dialog should use file mask that user setup.
- 23. Fixed crash with paging backwards within a find list very
- quickly.
- 24. Private messages now use proper private marker ('*' instead of
- '~').
- 25. Better handling of current message in message list. KWQ now
- goes to great lengths to keep the message you are currently
- viewing current within the message display list.
