BUG HISTORY, AND WHAT'S NEW
DosFS Filing System:
-------------------
1.00 (27-Jun-1989): Upgrading from Arthur (DosFS 0.29) to RISC OS.
1.01--1.02 : Some (fairly significant) speed improvements were made.
1.03 : The second copy of the FAT was not updated correctly,
which gave errors on the Atari ST; volume labels
(which are just invisible file names in the root
directory) could be deleted and copied onto.
1.04 (11-Oct-1989): The first file on a disc could be saved incorrectly
in certain circumstances.
1.05 (03-Mar-1990): File type expansion hooked up the stack in some
cases, which caused all filers to die.
--
1.10 (19-May-1990): Renumbering because version numbers were completely
mixed up. First release of Filer2.
1.11 (05-Jun-1990): The time conversion routine could return with the
V-flag set as a result of the last computation.
This caused an error condition and subsequent
non-functioning of DosFS today -- an error which
would have repeated every 497 days.
1.12 (16-Jun-1990): Count dosfs:$ now works ok ($ could not be found).
1.13 (20-Sep-1990): Access translation of directories changed from DL
(an anachronism) to D, allowing them to be deleted
(with check if directory empty). Corrected: *BytesFree.
Some operations were possible on the volume label.
--COMPLETELY NEW VERSION-- [First release 1.20a 04-Sep-1990, now 1.20n]
1.20 (15-Oct-1990): Speed increase in multiple file operations and operations
on subdirectories. Added: *DosMap, *FileInfo (shows 1st
cluster) *DosVolume, full disc name support based on
volume labels, wildcards, current directory. Major
addition: implementation of byte-operations (Open, Close,
BPut, BGet, Args). In particular the filer now also
works in a full desktop, where copying failed because
the Filer reverted to byte-ops. In some cases error
messages are made more helpful (not always possible if
Risc-OS Filer gives them). Subdirectories of arbitrary
length supported.
Filer2:
------
2.50 (11-Aug-1990): OSCLI("BytesFree") replaced by *BytesFree, title
of window was corrupted if OSCLI was used (!).
CRLF conversion corrected.
2.60 (07-Oct-1990): Added: DosFS 1.20 DosMap and DosVolume. In filer
windows disc name appears (if present), so you can
have multiple windows open. Automatic file typing
added using system variables.
