HISTORY FOR DEVoTiON ARTViEWER:
Please Report Any Bugs, including a discription what exactly happend
to me. If you have some ideas, please tell me, too. Your Name will be
mentioned in this File, when i decide/manage to implement your idea in
this program:

Thanx to the following People who had great ideas or gave me important
informations (Alphabetical Order):
· Bitblazer (LBM-Fileinfo)
· Edyx (Rescale Picture)
· HeadSoft (LBM-Fileinfo)
· Ravian (RIP-Fileinfo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 1.21
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 15/12/96
∙ Added a HighSpeed-Routine for the Memory-Routines
∙ You can see the result in a updated version of the TGA-Loader ->
is it fast enough now? ;-)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 1.2 (first public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 12/12/96
NOTE: This Version was released in a hurry, so there are many options not
available or disabled, cause i have not enough time to finish it in
time for the next artpack, cause i've to learn for exams. 2nd reason
is, that i plan to recode the next version with watcom c using pro-
tected-mode, so it would be silly, if i finish it with pascal first.
CHANGES IN THIS VERSION:
∙ Disabled Mouse-routines... believe me, you really need no mouse
∙ Finished the fileinformation-display
∙ disabled some more effects
∙ Fixed some bugs like drive-detection-routine
∙ Rescale works now with downscaling, zooming, aspect ratio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 1.102α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 29/11/96
WHATZ NEW?
∙ Speeded up the displaying Routine.
∙ Added GIF-Viewer, i think it works correct on 87a and 89a gif-files, but
doesn't support interlaced pictures.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 1.101α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 28/11/96
WHATZ NEW?
∙ Added Truecolor-Modes to my SVGA-Lib, but the file-loader don't support
it, yet.
∙ The Program won't work now without SVGA-Driver installed, even if you
want to have low resolution modes like 320x200 or tweaked modes,... use
a vesadriver, that supports these modes, if you want them.
∙ Some Bugfixes and little features added
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 1.1α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 27/11/96
WHATZ NEW?
∙ Added a new Menu "Scale" for options of rescaling the picture, if it
doesn't fit in memory. Hey "EDYX": Thanx for this great idea!!! :-)
∙ Started New Concept -> The Program consists now of one Mainprogram and
"Format-Loaders", cause the Program is so Big now, that it must be split
in more Parts, that Debugging is not so hard later on. 2nd reason of my
decision was, that it's much easier to add new features as external
loaders, as rewriting the complete-code. The Result at the moment ->
Half the data-size and less code-size then before in main-program.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 0.5α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 11/11/96,
WHATZ NEW?
∙ The 1st program that can force a acornVGA-compatibly mode (i believe),
so it works without softscrolling and without display-errors on acorn
RISC-systems with pc-card (perhaps the errors are cause of some old
softwaredrivers? how can i write a routine, that can detect that?)
NOTE! Users workin on a normal IBM kompatible PC should enable Acorn-Support,
too, if they get display-errors in textmode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 0.401α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 10/27/96, 3am ...errrr no... 2.11
WHATS NEW
∙ Some new Menü-features like Cfg-File. Menü completely works now
∙ Change Resolution in Textviewer (80x25,80x28,80x50)
∙ SVGA is now implemented, too, but viewing pictures in modes above
640x480 seems to be buggy.
∙ Changing Resolution in Grafixviewer, Auto-Resolution and Centre-Pic
∙ Mouseroutines implemented, but not everything works. Still blockcursor.
∙ New Routines for Displaying/Scrolling Mode13, i think it's fast enough
∙ Added a check if the gfx-file you want to view you viewed just before,
so it will be not loaded again/will be displayed immediatly. Nice Feature,
not only for debugging i think
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 0.4α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 10/24/96, 2am (hell... i'm hungry now! what's in the fridge?)
WHATS NEW
∙ New Screen-layout with menusystem not all in menu works at the moment
∙ Press F1 to get help, when you don't know what to do :-)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 0.302α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 10/22/96, 11pm
WHATS NEW:
∙ Fixed little bug in GfxMode-viewer
∙ Now Resolution of GFX-File as Fileinformation will be displayed, too
∙ TGA-Fileformat now implemented. It only supports 8bit uncompressed
Files at the moment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERSiON 0.301α (not a public version!)
code : BP7, TASM
finished: 10/22/96, 4.40am (I think it's time to sleep now!)
WHATS NEW:
∙ PageUp/Dn/Pos1/Home-Keys-Support in Filemenu
∙ Toggle On/Off Softscrolling for Filemenu
∙ Fixed little Bug in Textmode-viewer -> last row will now be displayed
∙ Fixed little Bug in Textmode-viewer -> Longer Files upto 819 rows can
now be viewed complete/correct.
∙ Fixed little Bug in GfxMode-viewer -> Pictures can now be scrolled to
the left or right (slooooow!!!)
