Change log
Note: This list is used and created by me during development and therefore
may contain items referring to implementation details.
myBrowser 0.9.4
- bug fix: 2/8/97
Quitting myBrowser 0.9.3 during the startup phase ended up in a debugger
window because a setup thread was not cancelled. This is fixed now.
- bug fix: 2/8/97
MyBrowser 0.9.3 didn«t show the icons of icon records correctly, e.g.
in the pop-up menu of the Group window. This is fixed now.
- feature: 2/8/97
Moving/Copying can now be stopped. Quitting the application does not
interfere with the move/copy in progress (all other windows are closed,
though). The move/copy process has to finish or be explicitly stopped
to quit the app.
- feature: 2/8/97
Add-ons do work now (currently with the same bug as Be«s Browser when
loading the same add-on several times at once). Add-on shortcuts are
currently not implemented, though.
- behaviour change: 2/8/97
Selecting a file (as opposed to a folder/query) displays this file«s icon
in the next list view only if this list view does exist already.
New list views will be created only to display folder/query contents.
- bug fix: 2/8/97
Removing groups does work now without crashing.
- bug fix: 2/8/97
Selecting and Deselecting "All Workspaces" hung myBrowser if the number
of workspaces was not equal to 6. This bug is fixed now. Thanks to
Peter Mogensen for his great help in tracking down this bug.
- bug fix: 1/30/97
The close icon of mini windows should now be displayed correctly.
- bug fix: 1/30/97
The MiniWindowDaemon now does quit as promised, when the last application
using it is closed.
myBrowser 0.9.3
- feature: 1/26/97
Moving/copying now is multithreaded. (This could be called a bug fix :-)
- feature: 1/26/97
New menu item "Save as Default" in the "Window" menu. Selecting this item
saves the geometry (location, size, shelf yes/no, visible in all
workspaces yes/no) as the default settings for new windows (including the
next launch). This information is saved in the extra field of a database
record conforming to the "Preference" table.
- feature: 1/25/97
New menu item "All Workspaces" in the "Window" menu. When this item is
marked, the window appears in all workspaces. (The Workspaces application
doesn't correctly update its view, though).
- GUI change: 1/24/97
The menu items "New Window" and "Create/Edit Group" have been moved into
the main menu, where they belong.
- limitation fix: 1/24/97
Launch time has been improved, though using myBrowser is slow while the
database is queried in the background at the beginning.
- bug fix: 1/22/97
Sometimes myBrowser would deadlock after launch or after unminimizing.
This should be fixed now.
- bug fix: 1/22/97
The behaviour conerning workspaces is now as good as it can
currently be (hopefully Be fixes the working of the various
app activation functions for DR9).
- bug fix: 1/22/97
The flashing which occured upon opening/closing of normal folder windows
has been substantially reduced.
- feature: 1/22/97
Holding down the Control key while double-clicking an item suppresses
selection of this item (it is just launched).
myBrowser 0.9.2
- feature: 12/19/96
In cascading ref menus of context menus not only the content of a folder
or query is shown but the parent as well (for all records, not only
folders or queries) if applicable.
- bug fix: 12/19/96
Items which are moved to the trash are renamed correctly if another item
with the same name already exists in the trash.
- feature: 12/19/96
"Duplicate" menu item of "Record" menu and context menu now is functional.
- bug fix: 12/16/96
myBrowser now displays the correct Trash icon (full/empty), though the
B_RECORD_MODIFIED message seems to be missing.
- bug fix: 12/16/96
RefList now uses get_name_for_ref() in GreaterOrEqual
=> sort by name is now correct.
- bug fix: 12/16/96
E-Mail items are displayed with the correct icon
as well as CD-ROMs and floppies.
- bug fix: 12/14/96
Adding items to newly created groups doesn«t create double menu items any more.
- design change: 12/14/96
DFRefMenuItem::Make doesn«t spawn a new thread to create a submenu anymore
(there was no discernable advantage of this (zoo keeper is single threaded!?)
and it led to race conditions).
- bug fix: 12/14/96
"Empty" item is restored when the last menu item of a DFRefMenu is removed.
