- History of StarFlight Screensaver
-
- Look for new versions on
- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/MatthiasHuebner/sf.htm
-
- Changes:
-
- Date Version Change
- 1997/09/01 V1.931 Bug WorkAround: Increased front plane distance - this should solve
- the bug of the last version.
-
- 1997/08/24 V1.93 Several Enhancements (based on some user suggestions):
- Changed PointOfView; better rotation effect.
- Minimum and maximum for x/y/z angel and speed control (dynamic view).
- Enhanced dialog: Using spin button for numeric values.
- Size x2 also usable for star length > 1
-
- 1997/04/18 V1.921 Changed the title "screen save" to "final switch to black screen" to
- prevent confusion...
-
-
- 1997/04/18 V1.921 Updated all english texts. Thanks to Stefan Kreideweiss for
- spell checking!
-
- 1997/04/02 V1.921 Another effort to fix the freezing effect...
-
- 1997/04/02 V1.92 Feature: Brightness control added (to increase star brightness)
- Feature: The Selection of FlightSet and StarSet get saved.
- Also done: Increased Range for x,y and z-range
- Bug Fix: English dialog: "Aktivieren" changed to "Enable".
-
- 1997/03/29 V1.912 Bug Fix: If Stars Stops. They sometimes can't restart.
- Scale corrected (can't get lower than a min-value)
-
- 1997/03/02 V1.911 Increased front plane distance; this solves star collisions
-
- 1997/02/08 V1.911 Bug Fix: Freezing Effect under NT solved. I used the wrong
- lib type: now I'm using the multi-threading version...
-
- 1997/02/02 V1.91 Extended time to maximum of 720 minutes until final screen
- save.
-
- 1997/02/01 V1.9 Bug: Screen was not cleared for delay blank under NT.
- Seems to be a bug in the windows api...
- (Fixed with a workaround);
- Test button added - but works only from explorer.
-
- Now it works under NT (3.51 and 4.0)
-
- 1997/01/31 V1.81 Bug: In case of speed 0, the scanners also stood still...
- Option "Increase Priority" for NT disabled.
-
- 1997/01/27 V1.8 And another release.. Suggested by Marc Gullato, I added an
- option to play audio files in background while screen
- saving. Another new feature is the scanner simulation...
-
- 1997/01/26 V1.71 Animation priority preset now off (Only for first start
- important (new users)). If activated, it will
- be ignored for preview screen of Windows95/NT screen saver
- dialog. This should solve problems with NT4.0.
-
- 1997/01/19 V1.7 Modifications on internal animation-loop for less memory
- usage.
-
- 1997/01/18 V1.62 New colour added: blue-white-yellow-blue
-
- 1997/01/18 V1.62 Now it's selectable, if higher animation priority wished.
- If switched off, the animation runs with normal priority,
- else above.
- This may fix problems under NT4.0.
-
- 1997/01/12 V1.61 Radius width extended to max of 2000.
-
- 1997/01/11 V1.6 sometimes starflight hangs by intensive testing (special
- in the desktop properties dialog).
- this happens, because the process waits for termination of
- the drawing thread infinite.
- the drawing thread could loop very long in special case.
- both changed: the thread should not loop for ever anymore
- and the process will kill
- the thread, when it won't end. in worst case, starflight
- hangs for max of 3 seconds
- the dot size can double for Stars with length = 1;
- current speed shown in info line.
-
- 1997/01/09 V1.5 Additional Views: random x/y, y/z, x, y;
- dynamic view: speed initial and for disabled speed now
- main speed set;
- colouring: now with colour names for spectral and one more
- spectral colour;
-
- 1997/01/05 V1.41 timing calculation changed; the animation reacted
- sensitive to timing-changes;
- this caused a jerky animation...
-
- 1996/12/25 V1.4 Complete redesigned; All Features implemented;
- <FIRST RELEASE>
-
- 1996/12/01 V1.0 First trial-version; ported my old sources from Amiga...
