/***********************************************************/
Beta #8b
/***********************************************************/
Random taglines started seeming a bit less than random - tweaked the
randomizer a bit - seems better now.
Changed tearline to '---' instead of '___' to avoid potential problems with
some BBS software.
Added 'ANY', 'Kimberly Bobrow', 'Sysop' and 'Moderator' to reply TO dropdown
list.
Fixed stupid bug that required a file to exist in inbound and outbound paths.
Made Address book show up in Window List.
Fixed bug that made bookmarking from message list mark the wrong message.
Added obnoxious alert when a reply packet already exists - will prompt for
overwrite or append - this will be made into a preference soon, but ought to
stop duplicate messages being uploaded in the interim.
Fully qualified file names are now accepted for archivers/unarchivers - your
packers don't have to be in your PATH any longer if they're fully qualified.
/***********************************************************/
Beta #8
/***********************************************************/
Put an option (in Preferences) to omit the slider bar in the reading
window - this will reclaim the area for actual message text AND will
make PmQwk work with OS/2 2.1 betas. (NOTE: the newest beta seems to have
fixed the bug - I left the workaround in as a 'feature' though, since it's
optional.)
Added 'More Preferences': (under Options Menu)
- End of conference options
- beep on last message
- move focus to Prev button when last message reached
(like older versions of PmQwk)
- move focus to Quit button when last message reached
- Make 'Next' button go to next conference when reading
last message - NOTE: Next Screen button will also behave
this way.
- Start taglines with first one in file (like older versions)
- Start taglines with last one used
- Choose taglines sequentially (like older version)
- Choose taglines randomly
- No formatting on reply text - your reply will be left AS IS
beware, truncation on different BBSes could occur if you don't
take care of this problem yourself. NO formatting is done on
your text.
- Convert Subject/To/From to upper case - necessary for some
BBSes.
+/- will now operate the same as next/prev message.
Removed ability to have Prev/Next buttons on right side of
container - new page up/page down buttons near Prev/Next made
this option obsolete.
Added ability to 'bookmark' directly from the List dialog.
Added a (much requested) 'next screen' button - pages down
if there's more to a message, moves to the next message
when it reaches the bottom.
Page up/page down buttons added to read message buttons -
next to Prev/Next buttons.
Read message buttons changed to icon buttons - contributions for
alternate icons welcome. There's simply not enough room on the
bottom to have buttons with words (without getting into microscopic
fonts.) Status area in lower right corner tells what each button is as the
pointer passes over it - the letter which is capitalized is the 'hotkey' for
that button.
NASTY reedit bug fixed.
EPM now works properly with PmQwk.
Window switch list added - ability to switch between PmQwk
windows. Alt-W (get it from the menu) or both mouse buttons
on the PmQwk workspace <smile>
2.1 beta workaround. Use "PMQWK /2" (no qoutes) at the
command line. This will disable the slider bars in the
reading area which causes the current 2.1 beta to crash PmQwk.
addendum: you can also select this from the Preferences dialog,
but you must do it before you open any conferences. This will
save the setting for future use though.
'Unpacking' indicator in title bar of 'BBS List' while a packet
is unpacking.
Fixed bug in Filter and list box that didn't handle 'unread'
messages properly.
Added pop-up (context) menus in several areas.
BBS List changed to CUA container - added date/time of QWK packet
to each item.
Fixed bug where first line of reply get pulled up into the quote.
The container in the 'List' dialog now gets the focus when opened.
Changed the look of taglines.
Verification of paths and archivers in the 'Paths' dialog.
Notification and assistance when QWK packets exist which can't
be unpacked while in 'Unpack' dialog.

/***********************************************************/
MAJOR FEATURE ADDITIONS
-----------------------
Sorting added - primary, secondary and tertiary. Set by system or
by conference.
Ability to swipe taglines using "Copy" button while reading messages -
mark desired tagline text then press "Copy."
Added bookmarking capabilities.
CUA Container for message list instead of listbox.
Added ability to set default size and position for message reading
window. Located in 'Options' drop down menu.
"Read by" indicator in message list and read conference.
NOT SO MAJOR GOODIES - BUT STILL PRETTY NIFTY
---------------------------------------------
'Read' amount in conference selection dialog now indicates amount read,
not number of the last read message - percentage reflects amount
actually read.
Increased maximum tagline length - they can be two characters *shorter*
than the wordwrap length (in Options.) NOTE: Re-editing of messages and
replies made with previous versions of PmQwk may delete the bottom line
or two of the actual message if you are using taglines - beware.
Select Conference dialog changed to CUA container instead of list box -
made sizeable.
PmQwk icon spruced up <g>.
Message list able to stay open.
Message list now sizeable.
"Found" indicator in filter progress dialog - number found indicated
in message list dialog.
Ability to search through 'unread only' in Filter.
KNOWN BUG FIXES
---------------
Fixed bug of extra up/down arrow message sent when slider or
list dialog had focus.
'List existing replies' bug fixed - still won't read replies packed by
beta #6, but will read anything packed with other versions of PmQwk.
Reply tearline now accurately reflects the current version number.
