ASCII Viewer .NET Online Help - Changelog & Readme
Changelog for AV.NET v1.1 build #3 26.10.2002
- * MAJOR BUG FIXES
- - Bookmarks have been removed completely in favour of QuickJump. (If you're wondering why, they were just too dodgy!)
- * New features:
- - The program now keeps track of files you have opened during your current AV.NET session. There are Back- and Forward-buttons now available that allow you to browse through these files. This list cannot be saved, it vanishes once you close AV.NET.
- - QuickJump allows you to set a list of files that you can jump to quickly. Contrary to the old bookmarks, QuickJump is capable of self-monitoring and will automatically remove any invalid links.
- - You can now control the Unsaved Data Behaviour of AV.NET. If you don't want to be always warned about saving unsaved data, you can choose to partially or completely disable these warnings.
- - You can now rename the currently open file by doubleclicking the filename display.
- - More META tags are now printed by default.
- - You can right-click on some controls in the program to get more information about them. (Currently only in the Setup window)
- * Minor Glitch patches
- - Nothing since v1.0 build #2
- * Usability updates:
- - You are no longer forced to use META Character Encoding. (There's now an option in the class/id setup)
- * Behind the scenes
- - Since AV.NET is not in beta anymore, devfix.exe is no longer bundled with the software. I believe you won't be able to put AV.NET into such a jam that it will fail to start (unless you tamper with the default language pack, in which case the devfix couldn't help anyway).
Changelog for AV.NET v1.0 build #2 22.8.2002
- * MAJOR BUG FIXES
- - The Undo module has proven to be very reliable after updates made on 22.8.2002. I've removed the warnings from the known bug list, added the originally removed Custom-level undo depth and changed the 'Security hack' into a normal option with a different name. If you have any problems with it, please mail in!
- - The saveconfirm dialog has been fixed. It is now completely safe to use it! (Previously selecting 'Yes' would actually overwrite the file you were opening)
- - No more instability with loading big files. (The output control type has been changed to a more flexible type! The maximum filesize is now 4 GB (on XP/NT systems) or 2 GB on 9x-systems.)
- - ASCII Viewer .NET no longer crashes when minimized and returned. This bug affects all versions of ASCII Viewer, even non-.NET-versions (Which are no longer supported as of AV.NET build#1, so the bug will remain there)
- * New features:
- - Added CodeIt! - a function similar to TagIt!, but for a different purpose, and you probablyguessed what that was already. Currently offers AutoIndenter and Commenter.
- - Modified line counting options greatly. (See Minor Glitch patches for more) Added methods for counting the lines in the current display as well as in the filesystem. See readme.txt for information about the various methods and the caveat of the position display.
- - Added a huge amount of new reference links.
- - Now supports XHTML 1.1.
- - Added Favourite paths! You can now set up to three favourite paths for saving and loading your files. You can select one path for saving and another for loading or use one path for both.
- - Added language pack support. You can now translate AV.NET to your language! By default AV.NET comes with two languages, English (default) and Finnish. Please send in your language packs!
- - Added undo level selection option * NOTE: The infinite-level undo can consume large amounts of memory over long-term use.
- - Added current line display!
- - Added symbol converter
- - Added "Replace", "Find" and "Count instances"-functionality They can be used on either only the selected area or the entire document! They also support three special strings: ##TAB## will turn into a tab character, ##LF## will turn into a linefeed and ##RET## will turn into a CRLF (windows linefeed).
- - Now supports a standard CSS2 template file
- - Now supports tables! You can choose between simple table tags or a table automatically furnished with 1 row and column, indented. Row and cell tags are also added.
- - Now supports <a> - it remembers the settings you last used for it!
- - Now supports several text styling/formatting tags: <div>, <br/>, <b> and <i>!
- - New stylish WinXP-icon ;)
- * Minor Glitch patches
- - Pasting from web pages should no longer change the font of the program.
- - If you don't use tag classes, generating a CSS template no longer makes a class entry. Also modified spacing of the template to be easier to read and edit (tab indents). Now the default CSS also uses absolute size values instead of relative.
- - Your current document will no longer be erased if you accidentally use the 'saved-method'-linecounting (CTRL+F2) instead of the 'current-method' (CTRL+F3) on an unsaved or removed file. Now an error box will be shown instead.
- - If the current document cannot be reloaded, it will no longer be erased. An error message box will be displayed instead.
- - The credits for a language pack will now be displayed when loading a pack. (Not at startup though, only when you're reloading/changing it)
- - Revised setup process code. Hopefully no more hangs/improper terminations.
- - Focus is now drawn back to the output window after using other forms (ie. when you add a br-tag, you don't have to click on the main window again to continue working.)
- * Usability updates:
- - The instance counting-option has been optimized and performance has increased beyound imagination! See readme for the benchmark results...
- - Added option for browsing 'All Files' by default. Also added more custom browse filters.
- - The path of the open file can now be copied to the clipboard by right-clicking the path text area.
- - You can now use Tab for indenting text!
- - Hitting enter on most windows will close them (doubleclicking works too)
- - Made the style tag wizard easier to use with keyboard.
- - New tag setup window created. It remembers your last settings.
- * Behind the scenes
- - Added a debug command that invokes some options most people shouldn't need. You can activate it by typing ##DEVMODE_TOGGLE## into the output screen, selecting the text and invoking TagIt! (by pressing CTRL+A, for example. Any tag-adding function will perform the same way). You can disable it the same way. * See readme.txt
- - Improved load mechanisms: We now load forms only when requested and always unload them when we're done. The program now starts up through a Sub Main(). This was incorporated in an effort to make the setup screens more user friendly. The methods of displaying menus have been improved.
- - Added a big bunch of comments to the source
