-
- I've just finished working on version 1.3 of the NeXT Gopher client.
- Its biggest improvements are using mini-icons in the browser to identify
- Gopher-types, and support for GIF images, plus many others.
-
- It is available as Gopher_1.3.tar.Z on:
- ftp.msu.edu in /pub/unix/NeXTOS/gopher, and on
- sonata.cc.purdue.edu in /pub/next/submissions.
- It should also be on boombox.micro.umn.edu soon.
-
- Here's the full list of additions, changes and fixes:
-
- * mini-icons are used in the browser to identify Gopher-types
- * added support for GIF image files (type 'g')
- - the Find menu is fully implemented - including a Find Panel
- - fixed-width font (Ohlfs) used in the text window
- - larger default window size
- - Gopher will remember whenever you change its window size
- - 'play' (for sounds) is bundled into an .app wrapper
- - removed limitation on size of text files
- - Alternate-clicking on an item will update its "Item info"
- without retrieving its contents
- - a default has been added to allow listing all items in the
- browser, including unsupported types. In a Terminal window
- you must do "dwrite Gopher ShowAllTypes YES".
- - "Open..." remembers previous connection information
- - double-clicks in the browser are ignored
- - window closes when Gopher fails to open a new connection
- - better error detection & notification
- - fixed bug when closing a window from the menu (Command-w)
- - fixed bug when selecting text items following an Index
- - other minor improvements and bug fixes
-
- Please mail me any suggestions, comments or complaints you have.
