Revision History ================ WinVN release .99.8 (released version) Fixes: Fixed problems with wvcoding.c where sscanf was returning wrong arguments and inconsistent values Fixed a problem with parse_date where sscanf was returning wrong arguments. Added more descriptive text when printing to a remote printer Expanded number of usable article actions from 99 to 999. Make URL execute line buffer larger (1024). Revision History ================ WinVN release .99.8 (Beta-3): Fixes: newsrc (read/unread information) fixes 1) article read/unread information of opened article list window does not save to newsrc when user send WM_QUIT to winvn newsgroup list window (pushing cross button on Win95) 2) GroupLinePtr does not properly set at second opened newsgroup 3) winvn does not save newsgroup name into newsrc if user attempt to open empty newsgroup URL execute fix when execute path name contains space character (such as default install path name for Netscape Navigator. Enclose execute file path name with double quote character ie. "c:\program files\netscape\navigator\program\netscape.exe" %u Posting/Mailing menu on composing window says "Mail" when canceling article Timezone info does not properly set at sending SMTP Mail on Win32 version. Always set as "PST". Remove ANSI functions on handling timezone info on Win32) Fixed a problem in the decoding code that could cause a GPF if the number of status windows ever got to 0. Fixed a problem with the Network menu where Reconnect and Reset protocol were both under the Alt-R hotkey. Fixed problem with Replying via Mail that would chop off last character of Reply-To address. Make Article Action Dialog Box movable Fixed bug in decoding routines that would cause decoding to stop if a line began with the word END Fixed CC posting to generate a date-header on E-mail messages Also, fixed a GPF when viewing in ROT13 when scroll past header after retrive is disabled. Fixed TrimHeader so that it doesn't trim Followup-To header and thus break redirection of E-mail. Bumped up the max NNTP Server name size from 40 to 60 characters. Enhancements: configurable newsgroup/article list display position (move mouse cursor to first line of list. You will see mouse cursor shape change to right-left arrow. At that time, You can drag the positions such as newsgroup name, article author name, article subject. This enhancement allow user to use propotional font on newsgroup/article list window) Display article posted time by local time zone Allow user to edit header part of editing article (or mail) directly. Created new file WVHDEDIT.C Spoiler Character support (Form Feed character or ^L) (wvart.cpp, wvscreen.c, wvcompos.c) Include Operating System information in X-Newsreader: header (like Netscape Navigator newsreader) Add support for "newsgroups" as selection/kill criteria Added a selection on the Communications Dialog box to allow forcing the protocol to XHDR or XOVER. This will allow easier debugging when changing the WinVN state machine for developers that don't have an XHDR "C-news" server around Modified WinVN state machine so that "newsgroups" header are not fetched for a group unless that group has a newsgroups filter enabled. This is much server friendly and speeds up access when asking for big groups since "newsgroups" is not in XOVER database. WinVN release .99.8 (Beta-2): Fixed a bug in decoding when verbose status window is enabled. Provided for more error messages when saving the Newsrc file fails. Now we try and do a copy when a rename of the temporary newsrc file fails (on some systems, rename doesn't work across some network devices Updated online documentation WinVN release .99.8 (Beta-1)7: Added Kill-File (article Action) support, including human interface, ini-file support, color and font selection, kill/select based on email, F5 key for reading thru selected articles. Possibly fixed problem with WinVN blowing up with greater than 20,000 Newsgroups. Added menu option to enable/disable Kill-file so filters are preserved even if you want to turn kill file off. Fix a problem with finding frobbed message IDs when getting info from the newsfeed via XHDR. Convert sort choices in .ini file to text (accept number or text) Dereference MIME header items in SMTP dialog. Upgraded WinVN to use Visual C++ 4.0 Number of selected articles sometimes gets out of whack - recount them when appropriate. lies to us about number of articles available. "_STRICT" declarations, casts and function headers for MSVC C++/Watcom support. Various cast, type changes to make MSVC 1.x happy/happier. Fix memory leak for obscure abnormal termination. Allocate proper storage for coding tables (we were running 1 char off end of 3 different tables). - Make 'seen/unseen' vs. 'read/unread' terminology more consistent. All items presented to the user now say 'seen' or 'unseen'. Remove extraneous semicolon on if statement, fix "#if/#ifdef". - Fix status text for IDB_TOGGLE_VIEW_UNSUB ("View/Hide unsubscribed groups") toolbar button. - Added missing status bar text for a few menu items. - Interim fix for 'long newsrc line' GPF/Exception. If the info read in is going to exceed internal buffers when calculating ranges, then quit accepting them, scan to next. WinVN release .99.7: Fixed a bug that was adding an extra character to the address field. Fixed a bunch of GPF's caused by locking areas of memory then never checking to see if the lock was successful. Fixed a bug in batch send where a variable was being used the 1st time thru a loop without being initialized. Removed a number of global variables in the Batch and Decoding code to stop some GPF's when using WinVN to pseudo-multitask. Fixed a bug when cutting to the clipboard the header of a Rot13 article. Fixed a bug in the decoding algorithm when setting numberMode where == was beging used instead of =. Added low level support for KillFiles. WinVN.INI support only, no user interface yet. MIME boundary values should not be fixed string misc fixes to source syntax (no returned values) Updated the WinVN online Documentation. Modified RangeOffset macro and AddCommLineToDoc function to support proper word alignments when compiling WinVN on MIPS platforms. Fixed bug in threading code that can cause an infinite loop in the "find_parent" function. Bumped up the Filename default if you are running under Win32 to 155.100 instead of 8.3. Increased Maxfilename from 75 to 255 for use on filesystems such as NT and Windows 95. Added an option to Config Communications to allow the MAPI mail prefix to be user specified. This will allow WinVN to work with non-Microsoft MAPI implementations that use prefixes such as IN: instead of SMTP: WinVN release .99.6: Changed the defaults so that SMTP mail is the default instead of autoselecting between MAPI and SMTP. Fixes problem with broken WfWg type configurations that say they have MAPI when the don't. Also changed the default to autoconnect on startup. Fixed GPF where an uninitialized variable may get used when using XHDR to older servers that don't support XOVER. Fixed a problem in sync_artnum that could cause a GPF when recovering from a XHDR server that has messed up article indexes. Fixed a problem where "latest unread" reads previously read articles if the first article number of a news group is smaller than the minimum articles to retreive. Clickable URL interface between News and FTP or HTTP (WWW). Enabled by entering HttpClient and FtpClient in WinVN.INI User interface to setup Clickable URL interface. Also supports templates to break down URL into protocol, hostname and filename so they can be passed on command lines to external programs. Also added support for Gopher and Wais. Added ability to Sort Selected Groups Added ability to Select All Groups Changed the color of the Read all articles and close group icon back to RED.

This changed practically every file in WinVN but was necessary to safely add cross posting code where article Range Array could grow dynamically. (dumoulin) Allow postings to be created that have the keyword "poster" in the followup-to header. This will send E-mail to the originator. (dumoulin) Fixed GPF if someone enters -1 in the article fetch Threshold dialog box. (dumoulin) Fixed code that calculates how big to make the posting or mail edit window. It should now calculate correctly to 78 characters if a fixed font is used (the default). (dumoulin) Added a way to track when the NewsRC file gets modified so that close or save operations don't write out the file if it isn't necessary. (dumoulin) Added support for setting the TimeZone environment variable either from WinVN.INI or the config menus. (dumoulin) Added Help Toolbar bitmap to all toobars and changed help to point to the WinVN Help file instead of the About Box (more useful).
