FrontDoor v1.0
-------------------------------
Written '93-'94 by Brian K. Jacobsen
-------------------------------
Version history:
-------------------------------
0.01 (May '93)
Started developing
-------------------------------
1.0b1 (October '93):
This is my first beta-version
-------------------------------
1.0b2:
* Error in my AppleShare library -> guests not allowed - fixed
* Faster logon
* Rel x.xbx added
-------------------------------
1.0b3:
* Paste owner name added
* "Searching for servers & zones" instead of "Seeking knowledge of your network"
-------------------------------
1.0b4:
* A bug in the "Access denied" dialog was found - fixed
* FrontDoor didn't exit, if you only was allowed to mount 1 volume - fixed
-------------------------------
1.0b5:
* Graying "Guest"-button, if guests not are allowed
* If paste username is enabled, then goto password area
-------------------------------
1.0r1 (10/12-'93)
* Finally I got my InterNet address, so here is my little program
-------------------------------
1.0r2 (17/12-'93)
* Change Password added
* Moved a lot around on my sources 'cause of the Change Password
* Changed from Freeware -> Shareware (I have used a *LOT* of time on this program)
* We're getting a new InterNet address, so lets wait a bit with the release... (Approx end of Jan '94)
-------------------------------
1.0.3 (01/01-'94)
* Bugs fixed in my AppleShare library (added in 1.0r2 - "Change Password")
* Changed from 1.0rx to 1.0.x (can't call it release 3, when not released yet - or?)
* Splitted the code up in segments - it's more handy....?!
* Added the "Change name of bootdisc"
-------------------------------
1.0.4 (07/01-'94)
* If any volumes allready mounted on one or more of the preselected servers, they are getting unmounted.
-------------------------------
1.1.0 (12/02-'94) - This is the first released version
* Bug fixed in "Change Password" (Last character in new password was a wrong char)
* Added support for the Cmd-keys in the Main-dialog box:
Cmd-A -> Admin
Cmd-C -> Change password
Cmd-I -> Info
Cmd-G -> Guest
Cmd-Q or Cmd-. -> Quit
* The registration-form was enclosed
* New Icon added (Thanx Jøgge)
-------------------------------
1.1.1 (17/02-94)
* Allready 1 1/2 hour after I released FD the first bug-report came, which said that FD crashed if
there were too many zones/servers, I changed quite a bit, so now it's handling:
- Up to 1024 servers - Previous number was 32, of which 16 can be selected
- Up to 128 Zones - Previous number was 16
- Up to 64 volumes pr. server - Previous number was 32
* Previously you could select more than the 16 allowed servers, which made the Mac crash - fixed
-------------------------------
1.1.2 (19/02-94)
* It still crash (it's a cruel world we are living in....)
* This is a debug-version - writes a lot of shit into a ascii-file (Only released to a couple of guys,
where the old crashed - we wanna know why).
-------------------------------
1.1.3 (22/02-94)
* ReWritten code for obtaining Zone-information (Errors found in v1.1.0 - v1.1.2 now fixed)
* Number of handled zones increased to 256 (There was a guy with 153 (!!) zones)
-------------------------------
1.1.4 (25/02-94)
* Now you can also see preselected servers in the "Include servers"-dialog, which NOT is present
-------------------------------
1.1.5 (02/03-94)
* An error in the "GetServers"-part found, it "only" asked for 100 servers pr. zone - fixed
* Now FrontDoor only examines the zones, in which the preselected servers are, when starting up.
* Now FrontDoor only updates the preferences, when they have been changed.
* Added "Print registration form" in Admin-part
-------------------------------
1.1.6 (18/04-94)
* If FrontDoor couldn't unmount a network-disk, it ended in a deadlock - fixed, now it unmounts ALL network-disks
* Ups (or Oops, as I was told it's called in english), I wrote uiuc instead of
"University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign" - Sorry Matt
* A few beauty things corrected (Oops instead of Ups, Setup instead of Admin, etc...)
-------------------------------
1.1.7 (15/05-94)
* Changed the doc-files (I was a bit to hasty to send out v1.1.6 - I included the wrong doc-files)
* Added ExitDoor
* Changed some errormessages, so they are a bit more informative
* New registration form (there were some errors in the old one...)
-------------------------------
1.2.0 (21/05-94)
* Finally found out, how to use the NBS DES stuff, got a C-source (Unix), build a Think C library,
and used it in Think Pascal - I've used awfully long time on this... :-(
NBS DES functions written by Phil Karn (Large sections adapted from the 1977 public-domain program by Jim Gillogly)
* So now it uses the "Randnum exchange" & "2-Way randnum exchange" when logging on the network, and
"Randnum exchange" when changing passwords (AFP doesn't support 2-Way scrambling when changing passwords).
-------------------------------
1.3.0 (19/06-94)
* Now FrontDoor is merged together in one system-extension - i.e. no more trouble with the program
* Now you can ALLWAYS log onto a server, using the new menu (•)
* Added a dialog which tells people everytime they log on, that FrontDoor isn't registered (until the registration-code
has been entered)
* Now FrontDoor executes as the first program after the Finder
-------------------------------
1.3.1 (20/06-94)
* Now there is an icon in the menubar instead of a black dot (•)
* Now you can decide if FrontDoor shall autostart when booting
-------------------------------
1.3.2 (05/07-94)
* Memory-problem when having many servers/zones - Fixed
* Conflict with the keyboard-menu - Fixed
* Didn't autostart FrontDoor, if Setup-part hadn't been started - Fixed
* Now Setup-part is in an application instead of a part of the Extension
* Added "spinning clock" when searching for zones/servers
Known bugs:
* Incompatibility with SuperClock reported...
-------------------------------
