- In previous versions, typing command-D and command-U rapidly in sequence with
an Inbound Message window in front could leave the Inbound Mail window
unrefreshed for considerable time.
- An 'alias' file which didn't end in a carriage return could result in a crash
when mail was sent using the last entry.
- Some code changes to accomodate the 'Aaron' extension.
- The lower of the two small horizontal lines that separate icons and buttons
from the text did not always update properly.
- A crash resulted when sending mail to an address ending in '@'.
- New icons for locked and deleted mail.
- When bouncing mail, the second line of the '.wrk' file contains now a full
path.
- Forgot to remove the AppleEvent 'special handler' before quitting.
- Zooming or growing the Outbound Mail window reduced the horizontal scrollbar's
reach with 36 characters.
- Added an ellipsis character when strings overflow field width in the Outbound
Mail window.
- Scrollbars lost their help balloons with version 1.0§28f.
- The cursor was left spinning when a memory low alert shows.
- Increased the preferred memory size to 540k.
- Added a touch of color.
- Made it compile with 'MW C/C++ 68K 1.4' and corrected flagged errors. IM/Mac's
source code is not yet fully compatible with MetroWerks CodeWarrior 8 since
the BinHex function was implemented in 68k in-line assembler.
- Added in 1.0§28f but it did not work under System 6.0.4: "Added an option to
delete a file when sent".
- Incorrect window hilighting when switching IM/Mac from foreground to
background and vice versa while the clipboard window is open.
- When the clipboard window was sent to the background a slight flicker occured.
- The progress bar showing while decoding a BinHex coded message did not fill as
smooth as indented. It now uses a color pattern when available.
- Added a progress bar while encoding BinHex. It will show for each outbound
'.txt' file made.
- While reading the mail file it was not locked, which is needed to prevent
NET/Mac from updating it, resulting in that message being returned to the
sender.
- Found another bug in the 'alias' scanning code. Do not type a space in the
middle of an address.
- Added some color information to dialog boxes.
- Try option-click and command-click on 'About IM/MacÉ'. This code has been
there since ages but not many were aware of it.
- The application icon has more color. Rebuild your desktop to see the
difference.
- Removed a slight flicker around the arrows of the horizontal scrollbar which
showed when clicking inside a text window.
- First implementation of Drag & Drop: 'TEXT' files and 'TEXT' clipping files
can be dropped into the Message Entry Window. You can also drag and drop any
text from a Drag Manager aware application into the Message Entry Window: try
it with SimpleText.
- Removed eWorld account information from help window.
- Implemented a color beachball cursor.
- A subject line longer than 79 characters could crash IM/Mac.
- 'Print', 'Send' and 'Reply' buttons are now 3D.
- Added command-period cursor when printing.
- 'TEXT' files with a resource fork are now stuffed and BinHex coded to preserve
their resource forks.
- An outbound message no longer has the 'DecodeÉ' menu item enabled when it is
over 32k in length.
- Balloon help did not take into account the vertical scrolling of the Inbound
Mail window.
- Zooming the Outbound Mail window did not take into account the position of the
vertical scrolbar: scrolled messages came not into view.
- Removed AppleLink account and updated Internet account.
- Using Aladdin's 'SITEngineLib b1i1' for stuffing files. BinHex will follow
soon. Unstuff will follow as soon as I get the newer version that corrects a
bug in the library.
- Checked compiling with MetroWerks CodeWarrior Gold 9 and 10.
- Added Begin Transaction and End Transaction AppleEvents.
- Crashed on Power Macintosh when using certain type of AppleEvents.
