Release notes for FastEcho 1.45a
================================
Copyright (c) 1991-1995 by Software Technik Burchhardt. All rights reserved.
Welcome to this intermediate release of FastEcho, which is a bug fix of the
previous 1.45 release as of June 1995. Not all functions for 1.50 have been
implemented yet, a lot more features are about to come, amongst them is
support for PCBoard and Wildcat! I expect to release 1.50 in the first half
of 1996, probably in the first quarter.
Due to internal changes the configuration file structures are incompatible
with the FASTECHO.CFG file of FastEcho 1.41/g and prior! Therefore you can't
use the old tools reading this file (FETool <=1.42, FEConv <1.50 etc), there
should be updates available real soon. Contact your nearest FastEcho support
sites, they always have the latest versions available. The new configuration
structures are available as FECFG145.ARJ (C and Pascal). These changes can be
expected to be final, only small additions will be made later which should
keep any new version basically backwards compatible.
As far as I know there are 3 message editors available which directly support
FastEcho - timEd, GoldEd and Fleetstreet. The latest GoldEd beta6 is able to
read the new config file, so are the latest Fleetstreet releases and the
lastest timEd gamma. You can use F2READER (which should be available as
F2R*.* at any FastEcho support site) to create so-called 'include-files' for
both, older GoldEd and timEd releases.
Included you will find an update to the first public release of a completely
rewritten FastEcho manual (thanks to Marco Piazza who spent a lot time and
work on it)! There have been quite a lot changes since the 1.45 release,
though, it still may not be 100% accurate in some places. If you find some-
thing, send your suggestions to Tobias Burchhardt (2:2448/400) or directly to
Marco Piazza (2:2448/400.7).
