This file contains details of the changes in this and previous releases..
20-Sep-96
1. Release of preliminary 32-bit version
=====================================
This only contains TVimSession and TVimSendMessage.
16-Sep-96
1. Support for gateway addresses
=============================
Addresses such as mikeg@rompaza.demon.co at INTERNET are now supported. Thanks
to David Stocks at Channel 4 for his help on this one.
2. Support for private mailing lists
=================================
TVimSendMessage now checks when addressing to see if the address points to a
private mailing list and will expand it as necessary into the individual
addresses.
3. Support for public mailing lists
================================
Public mailing lists in the format #ListName are supported
4. Check for unlinked parent components
====================================
The various components now check during design time for components being
removed and set the Session property to NIL.
5. TDBVimAddressBook failing to check for unset TTable
===================================================
This is now catered for.
6. TVimSession - failed login
==========================
A failed login attempt failed to clear the password property with the result
that a subsequent attempt to activate the session would not bring up the
login dialog. THis has been corrected.
23-Aug-96
1. Loading of ccMail DLL files
===========================
This is now handled in the startup code in VIM.DCU. The code uses the [cc:Mail]
section in your WIN.INI to determine where to load the DLL files from. The
following example entry demonstrates the required format..
[cc:Mail]
ProgramPath=C:\WINAPPS\CCMAIL
If no entry is found then the default search path will be used.
If for some reason the DLL files are not loaded then TVimSession will display a
dialog box when setting TVimSession.Active to true,. The source for this dialog
is contained in VDLLERR.PAS & VDLLERR.DFM. Please customize this as you see fit.
2. Developer fails to set the Session property of any VIMVCL component
===================================================================
This is now trapped and a message box is displayed rather than a
GPF being generated.
3. TDBVimAddressBook
=================
Added two new properties....
IndexByName : Boolean;
Causes a secondary index on Name to be created - default = TRUE;
IndexByAddressAndNAme : Boolean;
Causes a secondary index on Address + Name to be created - default = FALSE
15-Aug-96
1. TDBVimAddressBook
=================
This component allows the ccMail address book to be scanned into a TTable
so that a TDBGrid may be used to display the address book as in the ccMail
program.
This will circumvent the problem with large address books (> 16k entries)
which cannotr be contained in a TStringList.
The help file has not been amended to include details of this new component
at this point in time. DEMO4.DPR has been included to show how the new
function may be utilised in applications.
2. General tidying up of memory handling
=====================================
TStringList still causes memory leaks and I intend to rewrite the code to
use linked lists so that these leaks do not occur.
