v1.37 (19.1.96)
- Installer script works correct now.

or overwritten.
- Resume requester only appears when that checkmark is selected
in menu. Otherwise resume will be used without asking.
Take care: Not every ftp-site supports a correct resume.
- Dirparser re-written. Now it uses a human like logic finding
columns and spaces. Hope this will solve problems with some
special sites.
- New entry in AmFTP-RC file "LASTRECENT". It stores the time index
of newest recent entry. It's used to decide which aminet uploads
are new. Setting this back to "LASTRECENT 0" (or removing this
entry) shows all files since 1.1.1970. This will be start value,
i'm sorry for.
- Some internal fixes.
v1.41 (23.1.96)
- All lines will end with CR/LF now, to not confuse old fashioned
IBM-compatible servers, and some slip-emulations like TIA.
- Layout fixed.

correct value using file-resume.
- Fixed a bug with directory loading after resume.
- If an file to receive can't be opend, it will be logged with an
errorreport in logwindow.

Sorry "show new" had to be reseted again. It will show all files
during first start, instead of only new ones.

- File ending with ".readme", ".liesmich", ".text", or ".txt" will
attempt to be received compressed.
If this attempt fails, no more tries of compress will be made
during this connect with this server.
- Closing a connection during transfer will remove list of file to
receive.
- Added español catalog.
- Changing active entry in ADT mode, will show a short info about
it.
Example: "CL5-Devkit [172203 Bytes, 1631 Bytes Readme, Send:
02.12.1995, 16:00"
Selecting entries will show info about selection furthermore.
- Changing active entry in Archie mode, will show a short info
about it.

1994"

v1.44 (28.1.96)
- Fixed a bug in rename function.
- Added greek language catalog, thanks to Manos Konstantinia.
- The "ls -la" listing makes no difference between linked
directories and linked file. I depents on user now, what should
be done with a link, and it may fail (look in log window when a
action with linked entries does not work).
(The filesize can be also WRONG sometimes, cause some servers
give size of link entry instead of the size of the file.)
- The local directory history will be saved in the file
".AmFTPHistory". This file can be changed with a normal
texteditor. That history will be loaded at start of AmFTP again.
v1.45 (28.1.96)

- Argument/Tooltype "LANGUAGE" added.
You can set a prefered language with this Argument/Tooltype.

sensitive!!)
v1.50 (11.2.96)

coumn layout)
AmFTP will change parser mode itself.
- Transfer will be done by asyncron IO, this will take less cpu
time, and maybe speed up transfer speed.
- There won't be DisplayBeep _after_ MultiView any more :)
v1.54 (13.3.96)
- Wrote external Preferences program "AmFTPPrefs".
AmFTP has now one global preferences file for all running Clients.
- External viewer can be defined in Preferences. (default is
"SYS:Utilites/MultiView", like it was before :)
You can also define a alternate viewer. The first will be used,
when Viewer-Pattern matches, otherwise the alternate Viewer will
be used.
- The standard modes (Download-Mode, Dirtool-Mode) for ftp and ADT
can be set in Preferences.

Preferences.
- If no configuration is set, AmFTP will load Preferences program

new archives.

- Removed some unused structures :) since v1.53
- Changing local-/remote-directory pathes in string gadets won't show,
contents in file listview, but add to history.
- Begin-Port for XFer (usually 1024+) is configurable in Preferences
now. DON'T change, if there is no special need to do!
- If it was not allowed to change a directory or directory doesn't
exist, old directory will be shown again.
- AsyncIO can be switched off in AmFTP Preferences now.
Transfer will be a little bit slower, but i won't take so much
Performance than AsynIO on some DMA-Controller does.
- Prefernces can be stored anywhere on harddisk. AmFTP-Preferences
saves its path inside saved configuration. So, when you changes its
directory, you have to call Preferences once and save settings.
- If a downloaded file isn't a executable, the execution flag isn't
set any more.
Also Rexx and AmigaOS scripts get the script protection bit.
- The downloaded files get a "from <hostname>" comment.
- Close and MakeDir Requester Windows are now style-guide conform.
- Archie & ADTFind work again :)
- Profiles Settings are only saved on quit, when they are changed
before.
v1.58 (28.6.96)
- internal version
v1.59 (5.7.96)
- Fixed a nasty bug. AmFTP runs on 68000'er amigas again.
- Disabled display-beep on "Abort Connection". It's sound is configurable
in preferences now.
- Number of total-received bytes and number of total-to-receive bytes are
shown in percent next to diskspace-bar.
- New button in profile settings. You can now copy profile entries.
They get same entry-name like copied one, with the postfix ".copy".
- New menu-item "Open Connection". Selection this while not connected will
open a window to enter name of a host, which you just want to connect one
time without creating a profile entry.
- You can download a single file by name from a ftp-Server. Press Amiga-L
or select "Download File by Name" from menu. It is usefull for hidden
directories on ftp-Servers.
- You can send a raw-command to a ftp-Server. Press Amiga-R or select "Send
Raw Command" from menu. So you can use any feature of a ftp-Server, even
when AmFTP not supports it. But be careful what you're doing/sending.
- When the Viewer returns an other returncode than 0, something got wrong
with the viewer. E.g. "unknown datatype" AmFTP will now popup error-
message and returncode in a little requester.
- When a file already exits during downloading. You can now chooce between
"Resume", "Rename", "Overwrite" and "Skip".
- When your $HOME-enviroment points to a trashed or non-existing directory,
a error requester pops up. If this happens check your home-directory in
"AmiTCP:db/passwd".
- New tooltypes "SERVER" and "PORT/N". So you can auto-connect AmFTP to
given ftp-Servers after start:
e.g. "run AmFTP SERVER wade1.ab.umd.edu PORT 21",
or (is equal to) "run AmFTP wade1.ab.umd.edu PORT 21",
or (is equal to) "run AmFTP wade1.ab.umd.edu PORT=21",
or (is equal to) "run AmFTP wade1.ab.umd.edu 21",
or (is equal to) "run AmFTP wade1.ab.umd.edu".
(Port 21 for PORT is default)
- New tooltype "DIR/K". While autoconnect with "SERVER" and "PORT" tooltypes,
you can set the initial directory with that variable.
e.g. "run AmFTP wade1.ab.umd.edu DIR /support/AmFTP"
- New tooltype "ADT". If this switch is set, AmFTP switches to ADT-Mode on
autoconnect with upper other new tooltypes.
e.g. "run AmFTP wuarchive.wustl.edu ADT"
- Whole argument string is now: "LANGUAGE/K,SERVER,PORT/N,DIR/K,ADT/S".
So, a "run AmFTP LANGUAGE english SERVER wade1.ab.umd.edu PORT 21 DIR
/support/AmFTP" is a correct call :) ... and also a simply "run AmFTP".
All arguments can also be used with Workbench-Startup. To activate
switches in .info-Files (e.g. ADT) set "ADT=1" als tooltype.
- "127.1" will be converted to "127.0.0.1" correctly, and this without
Enforcer Hits :)

please contact me.

To subscribed to the AmFTP mailing-list ( `amftp@vapor.com' ),
just write a message to:
`amftp-request@vapor.com'
with a simply
`ADD'
in the body.
Remarks...
==========
o Try to find as many bugs as possible, send report via e-Mail to
`amftp@vapor.com'.
The logfile "T:AmFTP.log" often helps me to find bugs, other
tempfiles, too (T:.AMFTP-RTMP-<PrId>...").
o If AmFTP crashes, you are either using a faked keyfile,a patched
version or old-versions prefs, not able to be converted anymore.
For last reason delete all ".AMFTP#?"-file in PROGDIR: and $HOME.
o After updating AmFTP, 1st start AmFTPPreferences and SAVE Settings,
before doing anything else.
o Catalog translater should set version number at least to 2.0,
because of a new, cleaner and better string system since v1.54.
