- Version 1.0 - 18th January 1991
- ===============================
-
- This was the original release.
-
-
- Version 2.0 - 26th May 1991
- ===========================
-
-
- Bug fixes
- ---------
-
- 1) It was possible for the mouse cursor to become hidden when using the menu
- bar. This is now corrected.
-
- 2) The "time remaining" is now shown correctly on the message that gives
- you a 1 minute warning of inactivity. Previously, it was unchanged from
- the value when the last menu was displayed.
-
- 3) When reading a large filelist, Rolfe now ensures that other running
- programmes (e.g. a second version of Second Sight) will obtain periodic
- processing time.
-
- 4) When changing a security entry, the <Q>uit command now operates correctly
- in cases where only a single security entry is defined.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- 1) The programme no longer has to reside in the same folder as the BBS
- programme.
-
- 2) Improved config dialogue box:
-
- a) A button is now provided that lets you designate the Home Folder and
- the BBS programme name in one operation by locating the BBS programme
- via a file dialogue box.
-
- b) The checkbox had been corrected to show "Write to Callerlog" instead
- of "Write to Userlog".
-
- c) If you have a previous version of the programme then in order to
- prevent you from having to re-specify the config and security
- information, a button on the config dialogue now allows you to locate
- the previous version of the programme from which this information may
- be copied automatically.
-
- d) The Launch file name is no longer specified using radio buttons but is
- instead now specified by name.
-
-
- User interface
- --------------
-
- 1) All menu commands are now a single character. If too many filelists are
- defined to fit on one menu then a continuation menu is presented.
-
- 2) Control-C (or the Enter key for a local attach) will now interrupt and
- cancel any pending output.
-
- 3) If a valid menu choice is entered before the display of the menu has
- completed, the display of the menu will be interrupted and the menu choice
- will be immediately acted upon.
-
- 4) When deleting security records, you will now be prompted for
- confirmation.
-
- 5) Rolfe now determines the user's preference for linefeeds and adds them
- appropriately.
-
-
- Access level
- ------------
-
- 1) Security flags are now ignored when the user's access level is 255. If
- a filelist security access level is set at 255 then Rolfe will no longer
- ask for security flags.
-
- 2) The clearance level for a filelist entry can no longer be set higher than
- the user's own access level.
-
-
- Filenames
- ---------
-
- 1) The "<E>dit particular filename" command can now find filenames that
- contain lower case characters. Previously, you would get a "File not
- found" message.
-
- 2) When changing a filename, lower case is accepted as is; Rolfe no longer
- converts it to upper case.
-
- 3) When using the "<E>dit particular filename" command, if more than one
- entry matches that name (duplicate entries), then each of the entries
- will be retrieved in sequence.
-
-
- Filelist compression
- --------------------
-
- 1) For users with an access level of 255, a [C]ompress command has been added
- to the <E>dit filelist menu. This enables you to compress the filelist.
- That is, it will remove any entries that are "marked for deletion".
-
- 2) For users with an access level of 255, a "[C]ompress all filelists"
- command on the main menu automatically compresses all filelists that are
- defined to Rolfe.
-
-
- File descriptions
- -----------------
-
- 1) When editing a file description, rather than just replacing the whole
- description, a full set of editing commands is now supplied.
-
-
- Search/New
- ----------
-
- 1) A new <S>earch command enables you to search for a filelist entry by
- specifying a character string that appears in the filename.
-
- 2) A <N>ew command (in Browse) now displays filelist entries that have been
- added since the user last logged on.
-
-
- Groups
- ------
-
- 1) Filelists, in addition to being defined to Rolfe singly may now also be
- defined to Rolfe as being members of larger groups. For instance, several
- filelists that pertain to graphics may be given a "Graphics" group name.
- A new <B>rowse command provides full search and list facilities for whole
- groups at a time. Where the user's access level allows it, full editing
- commands are also available in this mode. Where a user's access level
- allows only the browse command and browse groups have been defined, Rolfe
- will bypass the main menu on entry and put the user directly into the
- browse menu. This forms a powerful file search facility across sets of
- filelists for the general user. For such users, clearance levels and
- record marked for deletion are not displayed.
-
-
- Miscellaneous
- -------------
-
- 1) The <C>hange command had now been renamed to be <E>dit.
-
- 2) When editing the <V>ersion of a filename, a carriage return is now allowed
- to denote that the version should be omitted.
-
-
- Version 2.01 - 16th June 1991 (not released)
- ============================================
-
-
- Bug fixes
- ---------
-
- 1) Fixed a problem that would prevent quitting from the Browse menu if only
- a single browse group was defined.
-
-
- Version 2.02 - 20th June 1991
- =============================
-
-
- Bug fixes
- ---------
-
- 1) Fixed a problem that would prevent quitting from the Security Delete menu
- if only a single filelist was defined. If, while experiencing this
- problem, Quit was chosen from the Macintosh File menu then Rolfe would
- bomb.
-
-
- 2) Fixed a problem that would freeze Rolfe if "About Rolfe" was chosen from
- the Main Menu and Quit was chosen from the Macintosh File menu before the
- About text had finished displaying.
