CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.5.1
--------------------------

you can filter by this/next/previous day/month/year.
- Added URL/Web attribute for Person, Business, and Account objects.
- Added capability to Dial a phone number in Windows 95/NT. It uses
the default dialer that you have setup under Windows 95/NT to dial.

- Added capability to open Url/Web address using your default browser.
- Added capability to copy postal address to clipboard so you can easily
paste it in another application.
- You can now print labels starting from any row/col. See the Page
Setup for labels.
- You can now display/print one label only of the selected object.
by checking the "Show selected objects only" check box in the
EasyLabel definition.
- Added right button context sensitive menu to quickly view the
phone/fax numbers, email addresses, Url/Web addresses, and postal
addresses within the menu itself.
- Right button context sensitive menu now is available from EasyLists,
EasyLook and EasyEditor.
- Added hints to help you in editing attributes of objects.
Added general hints to make you more productive.
- Changed the edit behavior within EasyList/EasyEditor such that when
you start editing a cell, it will replace the old contents of the
cell. Previously it appended to the previous content.
- EasyList and EasyLabel menus are now sorted alphabetically.
- Added capability to duplicate EasyFilter, EasySort, EasyList,
and EasyLabel definitions.
- Added password protection.
- Added incremental search capability from within EasyLook. Now you
can do incremental search and the object is selected everywhere.
- Added capability to search for more attributes than key attribute
depending on the object within EasyLook. For Person object it now
searches for Name, Alias and CompanyName. For Business, it now
searches for business name and additional name. For Account, it
searches for account name and description.
- Renamed "Title" attribute of Person object to "Mr./Ms./...".
- Added 2nd street address field for postal addresses.
CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.5
------------------------
- Fixed a bug which corrupted the user customization file.
- Fixed filter logic when trying to build a complex filter rule
using parenthesis, AND and OR operators.
- Other minor issues were fixed.
CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0
------------------------
- New Object "ToDo" keeps track of things to do. The objects
can be prioritized, and grouped in different groups. Reminders,
birthdays and marriage anniversaries automatically appear in the
todo list so you are reminded of the important dates in one place.
- New Object "Reminder" keeps track of things to be reminded on
specific dates and also at specified intervals (weekly, monthly,
etc.).
- International Date format support. Date format is automatically set
using the Windows date setting (support for MMDDYYYY, DDMMYYYY and
the date separator, does not support YYYYMMDD as I didn't think
there was real user for it.)
- Significant improvement in EasyLists ease of use and performance.
o Added Right Mouse Button context sensitive menu that you can use
to quickly delete objects, jump (scroll) to objects, resize column
to fit text, look up phone numbers, email addresses, and more and
put them on clipboard (and in future dial/send email).
o EasyList now supports adding/removing any attribute that takes
multiple values (phone/fax numbers, email addresses,
Belongs To Groups, etc.) easily using the context sensitive
Right Mouse Button menu. Simply right click in the appropriate cell,
where you want to add/remove a new phone number etc, and click on
the appropriate menu item.
o Significant performance improvements have been made when adding
multiple attributes, deleting objects. Previously the whole list
used to be redrawn, now only the cells that have changed are
redrawn.
- Significant enhancement to EasyLook:
o Enhanced so objects can be selected from EasyLook directly by
clicking on the Id column (col zero). Thus it can be used to
easily and quickly "FIND" objects.
o Added Right Mouse Button context sensitive menu that you can use
to quickly select and delete objects, put phone numbers and email
addresses on clipboard (and in future dial the number).
- Fixed bugs in EasyFilter when filtering on set attributes. It now
produces correct results.
- Phone numbers are now split into country code, area code, local
phone number, and extension. This will help in the future to
support the dialing feature.
- New account types have been added: Pay By Phone, Login/Web,
Calling Card, Membership, and Insurance.
- New attribute (Alternate Address) of Person object to specify
an alternate address of the person.
- When printing EasyList, it now prints the current date/time
in the footer.
- Renamed attributes of Person from "Home Tel Numbers" to "Home
Phone", and "Work Tel Numbers" to "Work Phone".
- Windows (EasyLists and EasyLook) that were open during the last
session of EasyManager when the file was closed, are now reopened
automatically when the file is reopened.
- Status bar now shows current day, date and time.
CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.8
------------------------
- New Object "Account" keeps track of addresses, account no.,
etc. for all your accounts like subscriptions, bank cards,
credit/check cards and store cards.
- EasyFilter feature lets you filter objects in EasyLists and
EasyLabels to view only the objects you want to. You can
filter using any criteria you want.
- EasySort feature lets you sort objects in EasyLists and
EasyLabels to view objets in the order you want to. You
can sort on any attribute you want to, and define any number
of sort keys you want to.
- Person names are now automatically split into first, middle
and last names by EasyManager - and you can access them
separately.
- EasyLabels are now non-modal windows.
- Embedded quotes and backslashes are now allowed in any
string field.
- Added "Title", "Date1", "Num1", "Num2" attributes (fields) to
Person object.
- The first time you create EasyList or EasyLaabel window, it
now always appears within the screen. Previously it sometimes
used to go offscreen, and you had to press "Window -> Cascade"
to get it back.
- Runs on Win95 as a 16-bit application.
- Renamed following internal names of attributes:
- Person : comment to comments
- Business : comment to comments
- Phone : description to comments
If you have used these attributes in defining your own EasyLists,
or EasyLabels, then you will need to reedit the EasyList/EasyLabel
definitions to reflect the attribute names correctly.
CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.7

implying that it can now support european languages.

to which Person Objects belong to can be specified while editing the
Person Object.

print dialog is opened multiple times in the same session while
printing EasyLists.
