- SUPPORT FOR 32-BIT WINSOCK APPLICATIONS, MORE STABLE EMULATION
-
- First off, Pipeline now supports 32-bit Winsock apps like Netscape32 and
- Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Windows 95. (A full-fledged version of
- Pipeline for Windows 95 is still in the works.) Also, our Winsock
- emulation (both 16 & 32-bit) is now much more stable, which means no more
- "Reentrant errors", and immediate response to input like when you click
- the "Stop" button in Netscape.
-
-
- MAIL & NEWS CHANGES
-
- The composer window now has buttons for To, CC and BCC which bring up a
- new form called the Address Manager. The Address Manager makes the
- selection of addresses from the address book easier. More features like
- sorting are in development.
-
- The contents of the address book can now be printed out.
-
- The table of contents column widths are now saved.
-
-
- OTHER NEW FEATURES
-
- Created a 32-bit Winsock Switcher (see the text file in the Pipeline icon
- group for complete details).
-
- Offline help has been replaced with online help. This allows the
- installation to be only one disk, plus it means help documentation is
- always the most up to date we have available.
-
- The PSINet numbers are now included in the direct dial option. (The
- original direct dial numbers are being phased out.)
-
- Added Microsoft Internet Explorer to the list of web browsers in Options
- & Preferences.
-
- When Netscape has been previously loaded and is selected as the default
- browser, opening a new web site from Pipeline now causes Netscape to
- appear on top of other windows instead of remaining in the background.
-
- Ability to access secure sites with third-party web browsers.
-
- The FTP/Archie window now automatically displays the default archie server
- in the "Advanced" section. The default server is the last one you used
- in your most recent search.
-
- The Telnet window now has a bookmark menu bar item.
-
- The messages like <1.1> that sometimes show up on the status bar of the
- main Pipeline window do not show anymore. The messages came up when a
- window was closed that was still receiving data. Not an error, but it did
- cause confusion since there was no explanation of what that was.
-
-
- BUG FIXES
-
- Fixed the problem with incorrect passwords where mail could not be
- accessed. The second password (enterned manually) is now used correctly.
-
- Fixed the problem closing the news/mail window when it was adding items to
- the table of contents (TOC). This caused the window to close and then
- come back up with no TOC. The solution was to not allow the news/mail
- window to be closed when it is adding items to the TOC.
-
- Fixed an intermittent problem with data files for mail/news not always
- deleting from the hard drive.
-
- Email no longer hard-coded to original install directory, which means you
- can change the Pipeline directory without getting errors like "Cannot open
- outbox engine", etc.
-
- CC filter in email works now.
