Release notes for LhA V1.38
Copyright (c) 1991,92 By Stefan Boberg
Released 29-Aug-92
__________________________________________________________________________
==========================================================================
Originally I did not intend to release any version of LhA publically
until V2.00, but since there were a few bugs in V1.32e I decided to
release this cleaned-up and hopefully bug-free version. It's based on
the old (pre-V2.xx) source code and no new features have been added since
V1.35 - the only changes are bugfixes.
All changes are described in `update.txt'. The most important are:
- Handling of `~', `[' and `]' wildcards now work in non-international
character translation mode.
- Security measures to prevent `s:startup-sequence'-type hacks
implemented.
- Bug fixed in handling of multivolume archives in evaluation version.
- The suppressed-system-requester bug has been fixed.
- Now respects -x option setting at all times.
- The `-s' option now works as advertised. Somehow this never got
implemented (actually I thought I had done it but since I don't use
it myself I never noticed until a bug report arrived).
- Added `y', `h' and `c' commands. See manual for details.
- Quick-add mode
- LhA now enables `*' wildcard for OS2.x - no need for WildStar type
programs anymore.
That's about it. All the fancy new stuff is in V2.xx and as the program
has been almost entirely rewritten none of it is present in this interim
release. This is mainly a bugfix release. Boring - but that's life.
Enjoy,
Stefan

`` Please allow 2-8 weeks for delivery ,,
During spring/early summer 1992 I could not deliver on time to everybody,
so this time frame was exceeded. I have sent off most registrations
during this summer however, so now I have more time and should be able to
ship within a week after the order has arrived at my place. My sincere
apologies to those who had to wait a VERY long time for their copy to
arrive. I'm working hard on improving this program and the support and
distribution for the next release (V2.00). Read the `Future.txt' file for
more info. LhA would never have been what it is now without your support.
Thank You!
