-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- What's new in version 3.2 (beta 2)
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- * Added support for the latest versions of all
- supported browsers (Internet Explorer 6.0
- SP1, Firefox 1.0.1, Opera 7.54, Mozilla
- 1.7.5, Netscape 7.2). (beta 1)
-
- * Added support for the description/comment
- and keyword/shortname fields for bookmarks
- and folders, in all browsers where it is
- applicable. (beta 1)
-
- * Fixed a bug that under certain conditions
- could cause a crash when converting from
- Opera bookmark collections that contained
- subfolders in the Personal Bar folder.
- (beta 1)
-
- * Fixed a bug that could cause errors when
- outputting IE favorites from bookmarks
- having a leading space. (beta 1)
-
- * Added handling of a newly found illegal
- naming condition in Windows file systems,
- during writing of IE favorites. (beta 1)
-
- * Made the importing code for Netscape/
- Mozilla/Firebird/Phoenix bookmark files more
- tolerant to some custom modifications of the
- bookmark file that might be done by other
- third party products. (beta 1)
-
- * Improved detection of bookmark collection
- for all browsers, and upgraded it for latest
- browser versions. (beta 2)
-
- * Fixed a bunch of problems for users running
- Windows with the "Large Fonts" /
- "Large Size" setting. (beta 2)
-
- * Added a tool to backup/restore/clear
- Internet Explorer favorites ordering data.
- (beta 2)
-
- * The format of all binary data files handled
- by Bookmark Converter was changed, which
- means that you cannot use any previously
- created settings, sync sets or bookmark
- backup sets with this version of Bookmark
- Converter, they have to be recreated. Sorry
- for the inconvenience, but this really had
- to be done (and should hopefully never
- happen again). (beta 2)
-
- * Known problems in this release:
- - Microsoft has changed the format of their
- undocumented way of storing ordering
- information for Internet Explorer
- favorites in Internet Explorer 6 SP1.
- Until I have been able to reverse engineer
- this new format more fully, only reading
- of Internet Explorer favorite order
- information is supported for IE 6 SP1
- systems, not writing (i.e. your order of
- bookmarks might not be preserved when
- converting to Internet Explorer 6 SP1
- systems).
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- What's new in version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- * Updated support/compatibility for most recent
- versions of all supported browsers.
-
- * Added explicit support (and bookmark file
- detection) for the Firebird/Phoenix browser.
-
- * Added full support for multi-tab bookmarks.
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------
- What's new in version 3.0
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- * This is a HUGE update, affecting practically
- all parts of the program, but here below
- follows some of the key news anyway.
-
- * Now supports Internet Explorer, Netscape,
- Opera and Mozilla, and can convert in any
- direction between these!
-
- * Keeps the order of all types of bookmarks
- when converting them, including Internet
- Explorer favorites.
-
- * Can sort entire bookmark collections, e.g.
- alphabetically. Both while converting them,
- or by themselves.
-
- * Made the synchronization feature much more
- advanced. It now supports adding, deleting
- and moving of bookmarks and folders, and
- also in an arbitrary number of bookmark
- collections!
-
- * Added a bookmark browser tool, in which a
- bookmark collection of any type can be opened,
- and the bookmarks in it can be searched and
- edited. It can then save them to a bookmark
- collection of any type.
-
- * Added a tool for detection and easy removal
- of duplicates in bookmark collections.
-
- * Added automatic translation of "special
- bookmark folders" between all browsers (e.g.

- and the "Links" folder in Internet Explorer).
-
- * Added support for more bookmark data, like
- comments and such.
-
- * Extended the command-line mode to cover all
- new features.
