- Release notes
- =============
-
- (* = fixed bug, + = new feature, # = change, - = eliminated)
-
- Version 1.21:
-
- * ShotgunBBS support DLL was missing
- * Grunged dates in *.MSG and Squish areas
- * *.DTP file remained open after closing the nodelist browser.
- * First line in carbon copy entries was too short.
- * Problem with INTL kludge not changed on reply.
- * Entry field for "first line" in carbon copy list entries were missing in
- non-german language versions.
- # Inserted space between file name and password in non-direct file requests.
- The missing space was a workaround for some broken tossers which otherwise
- would treat the password as the next file name. Now I think there was
- enough time to fix these tossers.
- If you're using a Binkley-style outbound, I still recommend using the
- "direct" option for file requests.
- * Current thread was not expanded in the thread list when compact view was
- used.
- # Removed all minor pages from notebooks.
- # Monospaced setting is kept when switching between reading and writing; can
- now be changed when writing.
- + Support for NPD (Non-Proportional Display) flag. When message contains this
- flag, the display is temporarily switched to monospaced.
- * When replying from echo area to netmail area, the Rexx variable
- FleetMsg.Header.ToAddress contained 0:0/0.0 instead of real destination
- address.
- * Display update caused by Rexx function FSSetHeader was incorrect.
- * Calling FSSetText before completion of template processing may have caused
- lockup.
- # Frame is printed around header again when using Warp 4. With the old method,
- Warp 4 refuses to print the previous frame. This obviously is a bug in the
- GPI that's still not fixed with FP #4. The new method prints a slightly
- uglier frame.
-
-
- Version 1.20:
-
- # Little change in JAM support.
- * Import to carbon copy list failed for lines having trailing whitespace
- * Read messages in thread list were painted black
- + Support for Shotgun BBS. Thanks to August Abolins for his assistance.
- * "Print" menu item was not disabled when editing
- + Supports V7+ nodelists (partially). Use FastLst to generate such nodelists.
- + You can now specify a "first line" in carbon copy list entries.
- * Wrong template name was displayed in area settings notebook.
- * ENTER key was ignored when list box in request dialog had focus.
- # Changed focus chain in request dialog

-
-

- to the left.
- * Double areas in echo manager.
- * Area list title was not refreshed when folder was renamed.
- + Support for IMail 1.85 (Beta!)
- # "Scan all areas" in the area list context menu now really scans all areas.
- * Extension DLL was not called if echo was added and rescanned at the same time.
- * Folders of areas were lost if the tosser configuration was re-read in the
- setup.
- + Support for NewsWave 0.99.5 (including mailing lists)

- # Folder of target area for Copy, Move or Forward is opened automatically.
- * Some nodes were not found in V7 nodelists.
- * Copied and moved messages had wrong CHRS kludge line.
- + Displays MO flag for V7 nodelist entries. This non-standard flag must be
- explicitly set by the nodelist compiler. For FastLst, you can accomplish
- this with the following entry in FASTLST.CFG:
-
- FlagDef
- MO D
- End
-
- * *.MSG areas in root directories (e.g. D:\) were not handled correctly.
- * "Deleted" attribute was not displayed correctly
