Changes since 1.17
==================
(* = fixed bug, + = new feature, # = change, - = eliminated)
+ Introduced "Keep" attribute for JAM and Squish areas. Read the section about
Squish areas in the User's Guide!
+ Toolbar buttons for "Bookmarks window", "Help", "Copy message", "Move
Message", "Forward message", "Copy", "Cut", "Paste", "Shell", "Scripts folder",
"Nodelist browser", "Request", "Catchup"
# Changed icon for "Reply"
- Eliminated "included/excluded" flag for areas
+ Introduced area folders. See User's Guide for details.
# Read personal messages are now displayed with the "normal" color in the
thread list.

* Incorrect address matching when entering point number only (e.g. ".3")
+ The "Logo" system setting is used
# New notebooks with Merlin
* Possible problem loading NewsWave's configuration file ("wrong version").
# Ensured that tosser configuration DLLs are always loaded from the startup
directory.
# Workaround for OS/2 bug: FS might crash if the default print job properties
are not yet set.
# Made generation of FWDSUBJ optional.
# Workaround for 16-Bit-Limit in OS/2: Using the Edit/Copy menu at the end of
messages >64K didn't work (nothing was copied to the clipboard).
* In the threadlist's compact view, the top level entry was not removed when
all threads of that entry were deleted.
# FleetStreet replies to the forwarder by default.
* When moving or copying messages from the message list, thread list or
bookmarks list, the current area was always preselected.
* Crash when quoting strange message.

alternative font.

See User's Guide for details.

difficult to explain than to fix).
* Incorrect error message when switching tossers.

were not recognized.
# Refined highlighting algorithm
* Printed with incorrect code page
- NewWave (the VIO version) is no longer supported

bug.

FleetStreet looks for the DLLs in the working directory, so make sure the
DLLs can be found there!

# The progress indicator is now displayed in the status line. You can stop the
background processing by pressing ESC or by double clicking on the progress
indicator.

line.

make the feature less useful in areas where varying quote characters are
used.
* Some special characters were not recognized as quote initials.
# Empty template elements no longer cause empty lines in the text.
+ Highlighting can be temporarily enabled or disabled with the context menu of
the message window.

again.
