- 1. Contents ----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This distribution contains patches for the following files:
- CygnusEd text editor (both the plain 68k and the 020+ version)
- MetaMac macro editor
- RecoverCEDFiles crash recovery utility
In addition to this, new versions of the following files are provided:
- Online help (CygnusEd_Manual.guide)
- German language support files (drawer "Catalogs/deutsch")
- Localization files (see drawer "Localization")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. Updating ----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The update program requires that you insert the original "CygnusEd
Professional Release 4" CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD icon must be visible
in the Workbench window. The update procedure itself looks very much like the
CygnusEd installation process, but it cannot completely replace it. Thus, you
must have CygnusEd installed before you can update it.

- 3. Changes -----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following section lists major changes in the single updated programs.
Minor technical details have been omitted.
CygnusEd_Professional 4.17 (18.1.99)
- The file name suffix extraction code now tries to be a tad smarter
when stripping the suffix characters from the file name.
- The code to load the default preferences is now a bit less complex
and should be more careful at loading the configuration data. The
prefs loading code now also honors local ("PROGDIR:") configurations
instead of just looking into the current directory and "S:".
- The code that composes a prefs file name of a path and a suffix
no longer looks different in different parts of the program. It
now uses the same technique consistently throughout all parts
that need to work with it.
- After not reading that much of data (or not reading any data
at all) from the prefs file, the code could try to reinitialize
the environment data based upon the "new" data. Looks as if this
wasn't such a good idea after all since a) the data never changed
anyway if none could be read and b) even if it didn't change the code
somehow managed to screw one or the other thing up. The code now
does nothing if there really is nothing to be done.
- Fixed yet another highlighting bug which was most apparent in
display modes that do not support masked blitter operations
(i.e. 16 bits per pixel). It was caused by vertical block
highlighting [Ralph Schmidt].
- Fixed a bug which would occur when splitting a view in
display modes that do not support masked blitter operations
(i.e. 16 bits per pixel). This appears to be the last bug
of its kind [Ralph Schmidt].
- Switched the exec.library pragma header file over to
reference SysBase rather than AbsExecBase.
- Horizontal scrolling no longer introduces artefacts into the
area on the right hand side of the screen. That is, unless
CygnusEd is set to use its custom scrolling routines.
- The text scrolling code now takes a short cut if set to
scroll complete lines. This makes text scrolling faster
than ever.
RecoverCEDFiles 4.3 (18.1.99)
- Switched the exec.library pragma header file over to
reference SysBase rather than AbsExecBase.
MetaMac 4.6 (18.1.99)
- Switched the exec.library pragma header file over to
reference SysBase rather than AbsExecBase.
Ed 4.2 (18.1.99)
- Switched the exec.library pragma header file over to
reference SysBase rather than AbsExecBase.
