- Historie
- ========
-
- Version 1.0 o Den første brugbare version af Amiga World.
- (01-jan-1993) Udgivet som en freeware version med nogle begrænsninger
- [Fish #804] på AmigaLibDisk #804.
-
- Version 1.01 o Tilføjet manuel udvælgelse/fravælgelse af lande (med den
- (24-mar-1993) højre museknap)
- [interne] o De fleste menu valg bliver genoprettede efter skift af
- font, skærmmode eller sprog.
- o Nogle interne forbedringer, der ikke er synlige for
- brugeren.
-
- Version 1.02 o Opfandt kode numre til landene. Se kapitlet
- (28-mar-1993) 'awo.data' i dokumentations-filen for detaljer.
- o Nogle mindre synlige bugs blev fikset.
-
- Version 1.03 o AmigaWorld indeholder nu også svenske data-filer. De
- (01-apr-1993) blev skrevet af Bo Arnholm fra Mölndal nær Gøthenborg.
- Tak Bo!
-
- Version 1.1 o Tilføjet data omkring valuta.
- (07-apr-1993) o AmigaWorld kan nu også udtrykke sig selv på Hollandsk. De
- [Fish #851] hollandske data filer er lavet af Ruud Hoekzema fra
- Drieberge nær Utrecht. Tak Ruud!
- o De numre, der bliver vist i landevinduerne bliver nu
- vist som grupper på 3. Det gør dem mere læselige.
- o Ordnede en bug, som gjorde at AW crackede hvis du skiftede
- fra et sprog med et langt navn til sprog med et
- kort navn.
- (f.eks. "Nederlands" (10 tegn) -> "Deutsch" (7 tegn))
- o Fjernede 'Menu short cuts'. De syntes ikke at kunne bruges
- til noget.
-
- Version 1.11 o Ordnede en bug, som fik programmet til at afslutte, hvis du
- (13-apr-1993) brugte en font med et navn på mere end 10 tegn.
- o Ordnede en bug, som fik 'topaz fonten' til at se lidt mærke-
- lig ud, hvis du havde brugt en anden font før.
- o Hvis der er åbne landevinduer, når du skifter sprog, font,
- eller skærmopløsning, vil de nu ændre sig til dine nye
- valg.
- o Du kan nu lukke info og konfig vinduerne via tastaturet:
- Tryk return for at acceptere ændringer eller tryk en
- hvilken som helst anden knap for at fortryde og afslutte.
- o Bredden på menuerne i skærmtitellinien bliver nu ændret
- til længden på den tekst den indeholder, hvilket får den
- svenske version til at se bedre ud.
-
- Version 2.0 o Flagene på alle uafhængige lande og nogle bilande
- (13-jun-1993) bliver vist sammen med de andre data.
- o De religioner, som er mest almindelige i et land bliver vist.
- o AmigaWorld fortæller dig om medlemsskabet i vigtige inter-
- nationale organisationer (kun uafhængige lande).
- o Du kan også få en kort beskrivelse af alle medlemmerne af
- disse organisationer ved at vælge menupunktet "Søg efter" /
- "Organisation".
- o Dataene omkring sprog er blevet mere præcise.
- o AmigaWorld udregner FØRST størrelsen på landevinduet og
- SÅ åbner den det. Ikke flere kæmpe vinduer, der bliver
- formindskede senere hen!
- o Hvis dataene omkring et land allerede bliver vist, kan du
- ikke åbne dets vindue igen.
- o Få synlige forbedringer , f.eks. i det vindue, som viser
- sig når en fejl forekommer i landenes data.
- o Freeware og den fulde version bruger nu den samme output fil.
- De få forskellige output tekster holdes nu internt.
- o Hver eneste tekst i 'awo.data' havde en maximum længde på
- 80 tegn i ældre versioner. Nu kan de tekster, der bliver
- vist i lande vinduet være 120 tegn bred, de andre (til
- søgningsfunktionen) dog kun 30 tegn. Det er derfor nogle
- data bliver mere præcise, uden at bruge mere hukommelse.
- o Et nyt land er født: Velkommen, Eritrea!
-
- Version 2.01 o Det er nu muligt at få en liste over et land og alle dens
- (01-jul-1993) bilande ved at indtaste dens forkortelse i søgningsfeltet
- (når "Søg efter"/"Navn" er valgt).
-
- Version 2.02 o A Finnish translation of AmigaWorld was created by Mika
- (11-jan-1994) Leinonen of Ylitornio, Finland. Thank you Mika!
- o Four Australian Island Territories were added.
- o All numeric data was updated.
- o The font has got a better name now: It's called "Beatles".
-
- Version 2.03 o Two new translations are available: French and Italian users
- (28-feb-1994) can "talk" with AmigaWorld in their native languages, too.
-
- Version 2.1 o AmigaWorld is now available in Danish.
- (07-mar-1994) o Line two of 'awo.output' does now contain the char which
- divides decimal numbers, i.e. either point or comma.
- o Three dependencies were added: Åland, Ashmore/Cartier and
- Galapagos.
- o The flags of several dependencies were added.
- o The location line in the data file can contain more than
- one entry now, making the search function more efficient.
- o The source code is not included in the fully funtional
- version anymore. Nobody was interested anyway, and I
- spend one diskette and a bit of copying time less.
- o The price of AmigaWorld has increased (it's the inflation,
- you know?). You have to pay ten more Deutsche Mark to
- receive the fully functional version. Clever users can
- claim to have read the doc files of an older version.
-
- Version 3.0 o If you click on the little map with the left mouse button
- (02-jun-1994) a big world map pops up. Now you can select a continent
- that does also appear on a map. When clicking on a country
- its data will be displayed.
- o The map window contains a little menu. When you select the
- item "description" a text about the continent on the map
- will be displayed.
- o Until now, the selection in the country list was restored by
- clicking the little map. This function belongs to a new
- item in the "Selection" menu now.
- o The country windows also have got a little menu: The first
- item is not implemented yet, the second one makes Amiga-
- World display one of its ten maps, showing the country's
- location.
- o The third item enables you to get a list of all dependencies
- of a country; or to call the data of its mother country.
- o The "Sort" menu of the main window contains one more item:
- It enables you to turn around the order of the country
- list.
- o The procedure that displays text about continents, organiz-
- ations (and soon countries) works with bold, italic and
- red text now.
- o You can softly scroll up and down in these text by using two
- arrows. I like it better then the proportinal gadget.
- o The arrangement of the interlace screen has been extremely
- improved, waste of space was reduced. All countries of
- a continent can now be displayed in the list at once.
- o The file "awo.output" contains 50 more lines, for new output
- texts. Therefore it is not compatible with older versions
- of AmigaWorld.
-
- Version 3.1 o This new version was developed with version 4.3 of the
- (30-jul-1994) m2Amiga system.
- [Fred Fish, o It contains a new routine for reading IFF files that replaces
- other the old one which was faster but contained a bug.
- PD-series, o If Kickstart 2.0 is available windows have got the "new look"
- several i.e. they are somewhat 3d-like.
- mailboxes] o The font requester of ASL.library is used if this library is
- provided in the libs: directory.
- o A bug was fixed: The memory for menu strips and items is
- deallocated as soon as a window is closed, not any more
- at the end of the program.
-
- Version 4.0 o AmigaWorld displays a text about nature, population, economy
- (30-aug-1994) and history of a country. About 80% of the texts are done,
- the other ones will be finished in a few months. Author of
- these informative texts is Bo Arnholm who has already
- translated AmigaWorld into Swedish!
- o Includes data on Palestine.
-
- Version 4.1 o Includes a text about each and every country! But some do not
- (27-sep-1994) contain information on economy and history.
- o All continent descriptions have been translated into English.
-
- Version 4.2 o AmigaWorld co-operates with graphic expansions in a better
- (18-oct-1994) way now, at least if you have got Kickstart 2.1 or greater:
- [Westium Data, At the start and every time you select the menu item
- mailboxes] "Configurartion"/"Screen Mode" a requester comes up that
- asks you for screen mode, width and height.
-
- Version 4.3 o You can now modify the size of the window where country and
- (22-oct-1994) other text descriptions are displayed.
- [AMOK] o A bug was fixed: Text does not flow outside this window
- anymore.
-
- Version 4.31 o All numeric data was updated (for all languages), some of the
- (01-jan-1995) other data was made more precise in the English and German
- [Time] files.
-
- Version 4.32 o Bjarne Bjørnsen from Trondheim translated all data into
- (10-jan-1995) Norwegian. Thanks!
