- What's New for Wave Rider version 1.32
- ======================================
-
- Wave Rider 1.32 is a minor upgrade version from 1.30 and 1.31. We released
- it to fix minor bugs.
-
- Different prompt on saving message
- ----------------------------------
-
- Wave Rider now prompts you to "Save Reply?" instead of "Save Message?" It
- does the same thing, saving the reply message, but now it's easier to
- understand.
-
- Delay added when closing packet
- -------------------------------
-
- In some cases, Wave Rider was not removing directories after closing a
- packet. We added code to wait for a few seconds, and to try for a total of
- five times. This was a timing issue between WR and Wavezip.
-
- QWK Packet Recovery
- -------------------
-
- We changed the directory structure for QWK replies in 1.31, and didn't get
- the changes accounted for in packet recovery. Works fine now.
-
- Can't find WRUZ error message
- -----------------------------
-
- With WR 1.31, WRUZ was the default packer, which we no longer ship. Now it
- defaults to WAVEZIP, which we do distribute.
-
- Area name in control.dat messed up
- ----------------------------------
-
- If the area name in CONTROL.DAT was over 50 characters, WR was not
- displaying properly.
-
-
- =============================================================================
- What's New for Wave Rider version 1.31
- ======================================
-
- Wave Rider 1.31 is a minor upgrade version from Wave Rider 1.30. We
- released it to fix three minor bugs.
-
- Automatic Sig for Bluewave Mode
- -------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When using Wave Rider 1.30 in BlueWave mode, automatic signatures are not
- added in automatically.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Doug changed the way that BlueWave taglines are displayed. That broke
- automatic sigs.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- DC Software has confirmed this to be a problem in Wave Rider version 1.20.
- This problem was corrected in Wave Rider version 1.31.
-
- Spelling Error in Opening Screen
- --------------------------------
-
- You're was misspelled. Fixed.
-
- Prompting for missing paths
- ---------------------------
-
- Wave Rider 1.30 would prompt you to create empty paths. The logic has
- changed, and now informs you that you don't have path setting set up.
-
- INTERNET SITE NOW AVAILABLE
- ===========================
-
- We're contracted with aa.net to have an anonymous ftp site for Wave Rider.
- You'll be able to get all files and upcomming betas from ftp.aa.net.
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- What's New for Wave Rider version 1.30
- ======================================
-
- Wave Rider 1.30 is a minor upgrade version from Wave Rider 1.20. It is
- being released to address three issues, and to fix minor bugs.
-
- Tagline Bug
- ===========
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When entering a message using Wave Rider version 1.20 in QWK mode, the
- version number does not appear in the tagline.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- DC Software has confirmed this to be a problem in Wave Rider version 1.20.
- This problem was corrected in Wave Rider version 1.30.
-
- Pathing Bugs
- ============
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you entered in a bogus path to your temp directory, Wave Rider 1.20
- would exit with an error.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Wave Rider was not checking the existance of the temp directory.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- DC Software has confirmed this to be a problem in Wave Rider version 1.20.
- This problem was corrected in Wave Rider version 1.30.
-
- Key File Not Being Recognized
- =============================
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- After registering Wave Rider and placing the key file in the same
- subdirectory, Wave Rider wasn't "seeing" the key file.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- Wave Rider looks at the Waverdr Directory entry in the [Paths] section to
- determine if you are registered. If an invalid entry is present, your key
- file won't be recognized.
-
- MORE INFORMATION
- ================
-
- From the Options menu, choose Setup. Then choose the Paths tab. Check the
- Wave Rider Path entry for errors. Correct as needed, and Wave Rider verion
- 1.30 will check for a valid path entry. Restart the application, and Wave
- Rider will "see" your key file.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- DC Software has confirmed this to be by design. The additional
- functionality of checking your path entry was added in Wave Rider version
- 1.30.
-
- BlueWave Bragline Change
- ========================
-
- In previous versions of Wave Rider, we placed the * Wave Rider 1.20 #x *
- ABOVE the ... this is a tagline line. In this release, it now is placed
- BELOW the ... tagline line.
-
- Additional Functionality Added to Wave Rider 1.30
- =================================================
-
- The main reason for releasing Wave Rider 1.30 was to add the functionality
- of allowing users to extract mail attachments that are included in QWK
- mail packets.
-
- NOTE: The ONLY two mail attachment formats tested in this minor release are
- for Wildcat 4.x, and TBBS. We have sample mail packets and replies for
- MajorBBS, but we weren't able to add that funtionality in this release.
-
- We also added support for adding attachments to reply packets. Again, this
- is only valid for Wildcat 4.x, and TBBS.
-

- We have changed our pricing structure to reflect our desire to have a
- diskless release option. (Saves disks, mailers, and time.)
