Changes in V3.0
===============
meaning: + new, ^ improved, * changed, - removed
+ Conversion of Unix/Linux "man pages" with nroff formatting instructions.
File type in Info: MAN
+ Conversion of WordPerfect Documents (V5-V7, for Windows). File type: WPD
+ Conversion of IFF text: file type FTXT
+ Conversion of FinalWriter/FinalCopy and WordWorth documents.
File types: FW and WW.
+ New function "MatchFiles". Works like the AmigaDos command Search with
options FILE ALL.
+ Documentation now in AmigaGuide format.
^ Next is now aware of the picture.datatype V43 and can display 24bit-
pictures if the subdatatypes allow it.
^ Informations about a picture are now shown by a requester _on_ the pictures
screen (no screen switching). The requester has a "Print" gadget, too.
^ Guides: Line numbers within LINKs are now supported.
^ Guides: More support for colors (\@{FG/BG/APEN/BPEN...})
Color 3 is reserved for LINKs.
^ Headings of Unix man pages containing backspaces are now displayed
correctly. The following lines show the difference:
Next2.9: S S S SY Y Y YN N N NO O O OP P P PS S S SI I I IS S S S
Next3.0: SYNOPSIS
^ Message "No Match" after search has been replaced by "No <string>"
^ Some smaller improvements concerning conversion of AmigaGuides, RTFs,
and HTMLs.
* New DTMode pointer.
* Renamed options: @LIB to AGLIB, @PUR to PURE. Please adapt next.prefs
if necessary.
* Settings: Renamed PAUSE to PAUSEPRINT and LINKS to MAKELINKS
- Option @CON has been removed because it's the default and opposite of
PURE.
- HQX-Decoding and listing of StuffIt archives have been removed.
I suppose nobody needed these features.
- BUG: Screen dump printed the whole screen not the picture.
- BUG: MyFiles didn't work with filenames set in "".
- BUG: WORD documents hadn't been recognized in rare cases. (Hint from
Andreas Neumann)
