- 2.23 Searching speeded up again. It now doesn't slow down as it gets
- further down the disc.
-
- Searching for the filename of the displayed sector is now extremely
- fast - a huge increase thanks to an idea from Sergio Monesi.
-
- 2.22 Search speed increased by a factor of 20!, using a 1Mb buffer. The
- search routine will try to claim 1Mb of memory, halving each time
- the allocate fails. Now takes only a minute to search 25Mb.
-
- You can now search for 'Any file'. This will produce a list of all
- the files in free space which DiscEdit can identify. The filetype
- is shown with each entry in the 'found' window. This option could
- be useful if you've had an accident with HForm!!
-
- Search 'found' window made bigger.
-
- 2.21 Bug fix in handling the new filecore - attempts to read a sector
- resulted in only one byte being read.
-
- 2.20 Now correctly interprets shared map chunks under the new FileCore.
-
- 2.19 Filename search algorithm improved to find filenames for files in
- shared chunks, rather than just returning the parent directory.
-
- Bug in following objects backwards introduced in 2.17 fixed.
-
- 2.18 Certain information in the disc record (currently only the disc
- size) can be altered to allow the editor to read beyond the end of
- the disc as reported by RISC OS. This allows access to other
- partitions etc.
-
- Bug fixed so that window is blank white rather than covered in
- rubbish if an error is encountered while reading a sector.
-
- 2.17 Editor menu structure changed to shrink the main menu and add more
- submenus.
-
- Three new save options added:
-
- Save "Chunk" will save the current chunk. This will be all the
- fragments of a file chunk, or the current free space fragment as
- appropriate.
-
- Save "'File'" saves sectors from within the current object (free
- space or file) until a new filetype is recognised or until the end
- of the object is reached.
-
- This option will usually save all of a particular file, but may
- include other data at the end. Most programs will be able to load
- and recover from a file saved in this way. Note that hard disc DOS
- partitions will not be saved complete using this option, as the
- filetype recognition system spots both the partition file AND
- the DOS partition(s) within it, causing the save to stop at the
- beginning of the inner partition.
-
- Save "To mark" saves sectors until it gets to the marker, set
- previously with the 'Set mark' option on the main menu. Saving
- finishes with the sector immediately before the marker.
-
- A new section has been added to the !Help file detailing how
- various disc problems can be fixed using !DiscEdit.
-
- 2.16 Filename search option added. Selecting this causes !DiscEdit to
- search the disc to find a filename for the sector being edited.
-
- 2.15 Software modified to make upgrading easier for registered users.
- From version 2.15, new versions can be turned into registered
- copies by copying a 'RegData' file from your old registered copy.
- If registered users have a pre-2.15 version, they should email me
- for a registration file.
-
- The changes mean that registered users can carry on downloading new
- versions from the FTP sites without having to ask for a new
- registered copy.
-
- 2.14 Chunk ID 1 shown as '*Defect*' on the toolbar.
-
- Current filing system and disc names shown in the edit window
- title bar.
-
- Should now support discs up to 4Gb in size, using the features in
- the new FileCore. This is still very much beta test, since I don't
- have the new FileCore to test it (or a disc large enough!). Please
- report any problems ASAP.
-
- 2.13 Boot check option added when viewer is on address &C00 on a hard
- disc - corrects the boot block checksum.
-
- 2.12 First general release.
