(Patches from Ianos Gnatiuc 2:5030/830.17) - MS Visual C build now contains Goldnode+ (patch from Ianos Gnatiuc). - Fix man pages. - Fix subshell start message output (bugreport from Semen Panevin). ! Microsoft Visual Studio build (use golded.mak as makefile). - Fix russian documentation. - Fixed gcc 4.x build (thanks to Max Alekseyev). - Fixed compiler warnings (thanks to Max Alekseyev). - Fixed bug with Win9x win32 console (hide cursor). - Fixed directory seek for Win9x. - Fixed pattern match for MS Visual C biuld. - MinGW support updates. - many config examples changes. - several fixes to prevent buffer overflow. + Added escape sequences \" and \\ to the goldkeys.cfg. + A bit changed algorithm of processing soft-deleted messages, added MS_SkippingDeleted keyword to the language file. ! Added possibility to use double quotes within macros. You need to write \" within quoted string. The backslash escapes only double quotes and backslash to minimize impact on users. Please scan your goldkeys.cfg for \" and \\ and change them to \\" and \\\\ accordingly before upgrading. - Fixed reading of Crashmail/Crashecho config when file saved as DOS file. - Fixed newly introduced bug in copying/moving Opus mail. - Fixed CRC16 routine for Synchronet fields updating. - Fixed X-Comment-To/X-To creation. ! Some code was significantly reworked. May cause a lot of problems, but should be more flexible. If there are new problems with reading areafiles, adding extra kludges on copying messages, etc. appear please report. - Fixed Crashmail II/CrashEcho config parser: when echo without description was followed after passthru echo with description the last one used. + Added -pass switch support to Fidoconfig parser. - Fixed bug in HPT config parser: areas which was not explicitly given messagebase type was omited. + Added new configuration keywords to main configuration file: WRITEHEADER - default setting for Write->Header setting, defaults to yes. Can be used in Random System Group. STRIPHTML - activate quick-n-dirty HTML-tag stripper. It known to fail in some cases but more likely will not be improoved. The keyword may be used in Random System Group. Defaults - NO. NOTE: Strip HTML mode forces quoted-printable decoding. + Added new configuration keywords to keys configuration file: READSTRIPHTML - Strip HTML tags READSHOWHTML - Show HTML tags READTOGGLEHTML - Toggle HTML tags display mode The keywords listed below are just duplicates for corresponding toggles. They are added mostly for use in macros (untested): AREAMARK AREAUNMARK LISTMARK LISTUNMARK LISTWIDESUBJ LISTNARROWSUBJ READSHOWKLUDGE READHIDEKLUDGE READSHOWHIDDEN READHIDEHIDDEN READSHOWHIDDKLUD READHIDEHIDDKLUD READMARK READUNMARK READREADMARKED READREADALL READREALMSGNO READSEQUENTMSGNO READSTYLESNONE READSTYLESSHOW READSTYLESSTRIP READTWITSSHOW READTWITSBLANK READTWITSSKIP READTWITSIGNORE READTWITSKILL READSHOWQUOTE READHIDEQUOTE - X-Mailreader should not duplicate now on message changing (not tested). - Better support for long tearlines are added. Now long tearlines with QuoteCtrl set to not quote tearlines no longer get quoted. + Added quote display mode to the statusbar (Q letter). - More fixes to uu/xxdecoder: now sections which follows with the "end" properly decoded; if name contained tilde inside it also broke multisection UUE decoding. - Fixed FWD kludges encoding. - Hooks to the delete and move messages added for the read-only areas. - Fixed SEEN-BY invalidation. - GoldED+ should now properly prepend data/subs path to the Synchronet bases, so copying of msgs.cnf to that directory should not be done anymore in order to make Synchronet areafile reader working. - Fixed the warning line if SeqMsgId set to MAYBE. - GoldED+/W32 will not issue warning about too long commandline under NT. + Added Husky compatible MSGID generation algorithm. The following keywords are added for configuration: SeqMsgId Yes/No/Maybe Yes - Use SeqMsgId algorithm No - Do not use SeqMsgId algorithm Maybe - Use SeqMsgId algorithm if SeqDir is set explicitly (default) SeqDir pathname If SeqDir not explicitly defined and SeqMsgId is set, then SEQDIR environment variable will be used. Note that pathname mapping (by using MapPath rules) only occurs when SeqDir defined explicitly. SeqOutRun num[y][d][h][w][m] SeqOutRun defines maximum "run-away" time for the MSGID. If not defined explicitly, then SEQOUT environment variable is used. If SEQOUT is also not set, then default value equals to 3 years is used. The num defines number in seconds if neither one of modificators is in use. The following modificators can be used: y - year d - day h - hour w - week m - month (31 days) Thanks to Alexander Reznikov for the patch. - Fixed active messages counter for JAM messagebases if message restored by removing DEL attribute. ! Ignore RRq attribute. We will process only Cfm now: RRq should be processed by mailer/tosser/tracker according to the attribute intension. - Convert internal codes to lowercase in Synchronet BBS parser before using them as pathname. - Cosmetic fix in Goldnode: pad output with spaces. - Previous fix on relative pathnames was incorrect. Now GoldED+ changed to resolve problem. Seems to work properly now. - Do not crash if problem to access MC clipboard (Linux specific). - To fix problem with relative pathname in NODEPATH the Goldnode will write only filename in .gxl file. Most users should not notice this change at all. - InternetReply should only affect netmail areas. Fixed. - Fixed more bugs with block deletion undo. + OS/2 only: if environment variable PMWIN set to NO then GoldED+ will not try to use PMWIN functions. - Fixed cosmetic bug in thread tree: line was painted incompletely. - Fixed environment variables expansion recently broken. - When reading pathnames from Maximus 3 areafile GoldED+ had not prepend Maximus path. Fixed. - Fixed undo of the last removed line. - Improved a bit speed for long messages handling. - When deleting marked messages the pointer moved always on the previous message instead of the next in movement direction. - Fixed some problems with readonly areas: it is now not possible to change messages in R/O areas, it is possible to set group of areas to R/O using ATTRIBUTES keyword in Random System Group. - Fixed small reflow bug in message viewer. - Fixed recently introduced bug with replying on gated messages in echo and following change of destination name. There's still some work to be done in this field. - Due to the collisions in Squish hash when personal mail scan is requested, after the hash values are matched the name now compared with string in To field in messagebase. This will slow down a bit personal mail scan, but will produce proper detection of names (not tested). - The names with NLS characters was improperly handled in JAM messagebases, should work properly now (not tested). - When importing file the current filepath will be displayed at statusline. - Fixed highlignting of url-like filenames. ! The changed mail will also be copied to the Areayouwroteto now. - Fixed small bug in Maximus 3 config parser. Any more left? - Another try to support MC clipboard. - Once again Numlock was not taken into account for Del in Win9x (not tested). - Fixed deadkey-space combinations in Win32 version. - Compatibility fix for http://www.chat.ru/~tulser/clipbrd.zip. Though it is not GoldED+ fault. - Some fixes for replying through the gate. If someone use "INTERNETREPLY NO" please report if it get broken with this changes. ! AREALISTGROUPORDER now supports #num format entries. ! You can now use area groups in the *SCAN* keywords: just prepend the '>' character before the group, i.e.: AREASCAN >#12 AREASCANEXCL >G - When calling unpacker the path to the area will be converted to the full qualified path. ! EditNewline now deletes the selected block. - Fixed exit from the locked/non-existing JAM areas. - Fixed small bug in UUE decoder which prevents unsorted multipart UUE from decoding. - EchoAreaDefaults was not applied to the local areas. Fixed. ! Ctrl-R and Alt-Backspace in fields now toggles information between stored buffer and current value. + Added keyboard not redefinable assignments for clearing the whole field contents: Ctrl-Del, Ctrl-D, and Ctrl-Y. - Cosmetic: URL highlighting now have lower priority then selection block in the editor. - Fixed lastread problem after edit externutils (PGP, etc.). - Oops, EchoAreaDefaults was not applied to the includes. Fixed. + Added EchoAreaDefaults support to Fidoconfig parser. + Synchronet configuration parser now will use short description instead of internal code as echoid for the Fidonet areas. - Fixed keyboard macro handling broken somewhere in pre-1.1.5s. - Fixed Synchronet configuration parser :-) + Added Synchronet configuration parser: Areafile Synchronet path\to\msgs.cnf + Added clipboard support for the input prompts. Since the selection keys are not available the action is performed on the whole line. Default assignments (which cannont be redefined -- sorry): Shift-Ins, Ctrl-V Paste Shift-Del, Ctrl-X Cut Ctrl-Ins, Ctrl-C Copy In overwrite mode paste overwrites the whole input line otherwise inserts one line from the clipboard from the current position. Also added alias to Ctrl-R key - Alt-Backspace which reverts the input prompt to it's initial value. + Added Midnight Commander compatible clipboard support for UNIX version. Should only be available if "~/.cedit" directory exist at GoldED+ startup time. (not tested) - Fixed problem with charset conversion on calling externutil with kludges shown and reload option set. You should have reverse charset table for this message (xlatlocalset to message charset) in order this fix to work. - Fixed small bug in the Crahmail/Crashecho parser when the last address may left unread. - Fixed various types of SMB corruption, especially on changing message or updating attrbutes. - Fixed crash on hex-dumping empty SMB message. - Fixed problem with non-emporting mail from SMB area. ! Updated SMBLib to the recent version. + Added patch by Vladimir V. Korablin for @notforward template token. The line containing this token is left only when message IS NOT a forward. This is "@forward"'s counterpart. ! If two AreaSep have the same echotag then they will appear only once. - Fixed handling of packed *.msg style messagebases. - Fixed invalid charset kludge in crossposted messages. - Fixed handling of 0xe1 character in CP437 (require liblocal 0.2 under DJGPP). (not tested, please report any problem you have with it) - Fixed userlist index compilation. ! S criteria in AreaListSort now explicitly moves separator above the regular areas. ! Win32 console: if buffer size is set to more than 100 lines then windows size will be used. - Fixed infinite loop when last message is twitkill, previous deleted and showdeleted is off (untested). - Fixed header encoding in exported SOUP packets. - Fixed small problem in editor when quoteline might left not painted after EDITNewLine. - Fixed Ctrl-Down behaviour in lists. - Fixed ignorance of index file name in @random token. - Fixed missed expanding of environment variables in @file tokens. - Fixed names highlighting in the header when MsgListHeader is active. + JAMSMAPIHIGHWATER is now active by default if "areafile fidoconfig" is specifyed (not tested). - Fixed the problem with 13 hour of UTC displacement. I hope noone have 25 hour displacement, yep? :) - Added forgotten https:// to the list of known URLs beginning. - Fixed packed messagebase operation. The feature was only implemented for the Squish messagebase and even there scan was improperly implemented. - Fixed numerical group parsing for Crashmail/CrashEcho, HPT, SpaceToss, QEcho and Partoss. - Fixed reverse order sorting in 'M' criteria of AREALISTSORT (broken in previous snapshots). - Fixed bug with quoting if text goes right after long kludge. - Fixed invalid message encoding after calling externutil. There's still a bug left if you call externutil when kludges are shown and -Reload option is specifyed to externutil. - Fixed replying on gated message to internet area. - Fixed crash on long names in TwitName. - Fixed net/echomail.bss updating in Hudson/GoldBase. - Fixed reverse order sorting in 'F' criteria of AREALISTSORT (broken in previous snapshots). - GoldED+ should no longer exit when system time is changed to the past and Timeout is non-zero. But... Timeout still calculated from timestamp of previous keypress. ! Some actions will not reload message if it is not required. + Added possibility to specify AKA in AREASEP: AREASEP <"desc"> ! AREALISTSORT changed again. Added 'p' for personal mail presence, 'u' for unread mail presence, and 'S' for overriding default sorting for criterias which are not applicable for AREASEP (F.e. try "PYTGSUE", "TSPYGUE", etc.). - Fixed "EditChangeDate Always" operation. ! AREALISTSORT letters a bit changed in the way they processed: P - sort by personal mail count, not by the presence Y - sort by changing from last scan (the same criteria as used for '*' in AREALIST screen) with ignoring unread mail count Also there's a new change to the AREASEP sorting: all letters that could not be applied to the AREASEP (f.e. Y) are ignored during sorting and finally AREASEP winning if no explicit criteria found in the AREALISTSORT specification. + Added ability to READ packed messagebases. You need to add PKD attribute to such echo definition and specify UNPACKER for the extension defined. You should pack all files from the single messagebase to the archive with the same name. For *.msg areas you should add the directory as well. When entering to the archived area UNPACKER will be executed to unpack files to TEMPPATH. On exit, all files will be deleted. New UNPACKER keyword have the following syntax: UNPACKER <"commandline"> The commandline should provide the ability to extract all files from @file. to the current directory. F.e.: UNPACKER zip "unzip @file" Note that all changes to the messagebase will be discarded. This feature is not supported for Hudson and GoldBase messagebases. IMPORTANT: AREADEF should contain pathname to the archive WITH extension! ! AREAPATH now used as default path for all SEMAPHOREs rather than occasionally. ! Removed keyword EditMsgSize. The message will always be loaded completely. ! Temporary files will be created in the TEMPPATH rather than GOLDPATH. ! URLHANDLER now accepts externutil options just like EXTERNUTIL (with the exception of utility number of course), and global EXTERNOPTIONS are no longer affected to the utility execution behaviour. - Few fixes to the keyboard. Key5 should work now. - Fixed LISTaskexit operation. - Fixed default writetemplate. + Added FileToggleMarkAll to the goldkeys.cfg to invert all selected files on the file selection panel. Default assignment is '*'. ! Keyboard configuration token AreaShowDel renamed to ReadShowDel for better consistency. + Added set of new keywords for the language configuration file to make READmainmenu language-configurable: MI_MMMAIN "M Main " MI_MMSHELL "S Shell to OS " MI_MMQUIT "Q Quit GoldED " MI_MMEDIT "E Edit " MI_MMNEWMSG "E Enter new msg " MI_MMQUOTEREPLY "Q Quote-reply " MI_MMDIRQUOTEREPLY "D Direct quote-reply (ignore Reply-To) " MI_MMCMTREPLY "C Comment-reply " MI_MMOTHERAREA "O Other area reply > " WT_MMOTHERAREA " Other Area " MI_MMOQUOTEREPLY "Q Quote-reply " MI_MMODIRQUOTEREPLY "D Direct quote-reply (ignore Reply-To) " MI_MMOCMTREPLY "C Comment-reply " MI_MMCHANGE "C Change " MI_MMORIGIN "O Origin " MI_MMUSERNAME "U Username " MI_MMAKA "A Aka " MI_MMATTRIBUTES "M Msg attrs " MI_MMTEMPLATE "T Template " MI_MMUTIL "U Util " MI_MMCOPYMOVEFORWARD "C Copy/Move/Forward " MI_MMLIST "L List messages " MI_MMWRITE "W Write to disk/printer " MI_MMFREQ "F File request " !

They still not affected the areas defined as such through the AREAISEMAIL and AREAISNEWS and if no ATTRIBUTES defined in the Random System group. It seems will never been fixed but will rather documented as a feature. ! REPLYLINK defaults changed to DIRECT. ! AREAAUTOID defaults changed to LONG. ! GoldED+ will now show hidden lines and RFC header in the message editor. This is primarily to be able to add cc:, copy:, etc. lines in the Internet areas. - Fixed old bug with ADDRESSLOOKUPFIRST when it set to the ORIGIN and no valid address defined in the origin. ! InternetRFCBody now could be defined to the digit, which specify the number of RFC headers will be tried for detection. Only usefull when you often receive messages multiple times gated by ifmail. ! Synchronized with recent Fidoconfig features. Removed -lame feature, slashes no longer parsed as escape sequencies in neither case. + Added peek URL feature. Goldkeys.cfg keyword: READPeekURLs, help topic number is 3018. The behaviour is controlled by the PeekURLOptions keyword: available parameters are SORT, FROMTOP, NOTFROMTOP. Selected URL will be processed with the commandline predefined with URLHANDLER (the token replaced with URL is @url). Language configuration: WT_PEEKURL "Available URLs" ST_PEEKURL "Select URL" IL_PEEKINFONOURLS " No valid URLs were found in this msg! " + Imlemented READExternUtilMenu. You can now process message by entering command line. Command line executed using EXTERNOPTIONS. Associated help topic number is 3017. Language configuration: WT_EXTERNUTIL "External utilities" ST_EXTERNUTIL "Select external utility to execute" WT_EXECCMDLINE "Enter command line to execute" MI_ENTERCMDLINE " Enter command line " + Added new keyword InternetViaGate (default to no). Allows usage of SoupGate with AreaIsEmail. When set to yes GoldED+ will generate only To: line for e-mail areas, but will also encrypt message header in quoted printable if enabled by EncodeEmailHeaders keyword. + Added new keyword HighlightURLs (default to yes). Allows enable or disable URLs and emails highlighting. ! Removed HappyBirthday and InternetServer keywords. Anyway, they were useless. - Fixed more quirks with charset. - Fixed quotewrap in internal editor if quotestring contains a space inside. ! GoldED+ will no longer add new entry to addressbook if it is an addressmacro. ! Updated uulib to the latest version. Few bugs fixed. Unordered UU encode now should be processed more accurately than with original library. - Fixed improper charset conversion when replying on message without charset between areas with different Xlatimport. - Fixed externutils/external editor with freshly created messages. - Fixed bug in Latin-x to ISO-8859-x converter, now charset in Internet mail should be properly specifyed as ISO rather than as Latin. - When you change mail to the UUCP gate and InternetRFCBody is on GoldED+ WILL insert new To: line in the message, stripping old one. ! Completely redone Synchronet support. Should be more stable and adequate. + Added support for SpaceToss areafile. WARNING: there's no known way to obtain primary AKA for echo areas from tosser config ver 1.10 so you'll need to define them manually. Main AKA will be used by default. On newer versions (with UseAKA support) you should not expirience this problem. - Thanks to Pavel Tsekov few more memory leaks was eliminated. ! Added "COLOR READER URL" for highlighting URLs and e-mail's. ! Message now saved by default in local codepage. ! Thread list optimized a bit by speed. It aslo should not crash on long threads now. - Fixed serious bug with forwarding when ADDRESSLOOKUPFIRST set to MSGID (or no Origin line available) and you call either spellchecker or EditLoadFile function. The address was set to the address of original mail author. + Added USEAREA keyword which may be used in Random System Groups. If defined to NO then GoldED+ will not recognize AREA kludge. !

It works the same way as EditDeleteEOL in terms of what we consider to be a line, since it deletes to the start of the line as it seen in viewer, not as the line is internally represented. - MapPath now applied to GoldPath and XlatPath. - GoldNode now supports MapPath keyword. - Extended conditionals in GoldNode to the same set as in GoldED. - Fixed SHAREMODE in GoldNode. - Fixed *.?lo file creation where the character in '?' was uppercase, in file requests. ! Old logo returned back with Pavel Gulchouck's patch :-) - Fixed double WAZOO FREQ bug (Thanx to Dmitry Lebus for discovering problem). ! Random lines not taken from template for Changed, Write, Header and WriteHeader lines if not explicitly specifyed. + MAPPATH now affects pathes in INCLUDE and AREAFILE keywords. - Fixed quote reflow when NLS and recoding used (Thanx, Alexey! :)) ! Reverted back to old behaviour of ZapQuotesBelow. - Fixed EDITHEADERFIRST operation. + Added new keyword AreaListGroupOrder to specify groups sorting order in arealist. The only parameter is string which specifies groups order (case sensitive!). If some groups are not found in the list they will be placed below specifyed ones in regular order. + Implemented FSP-0013 support. You may notice warnings about obsolete codepages in your config, please fix them. If you use XLATEXPORT to obsolete codepage and this is required on some reason you may prevent error by setting USECHARSET to No. + GoldED+ now tries to set up correct values for XLATLOCALSET, XLATIMPORT and XLATEXPORT basing on your locale settings. + Added Serg Borodin's patch for X-Comment-To recognition on SOUP import. - Fixed crash on long Message ID in Internet messages. - Fixed crash on very long name in Internet messages. ! ZapQuotesBelow now acts only on the single quotation block, not on the all quotes below. It's more handy, especially in case of removing attach from the file. ! A lot of improvements in charset handling added. QP postfix now could be used with any charset, not only with LATIN1. Completely untested! ! Changed InternetRFCBody parsing algorithm. Should be quicker. ! A lot of manipulations with Internet addressing was done. !

Please report (cosmetic?) bugs if any. - Fixed small bug in parser. + Added new keyword INTERNETGATEEXP to configure expansion of UUCP gated e-mail into To: line: INTERNETGATEEXP Address // To: bob@fisher.com INTERNETGATEEXP Address, Name // To: bob@fisher.com (Bob Fisher) INTERNETGATEEXP Name, Address // To: "Bob Fisher" Other combinations treated as "Address, Name". Default assignment "Name, Address". - Addressbook now more accurate with e-mail addresses in FTN areas, it no longer update FTN address with Internetgate (define it in the group if it is different from default) and put Internet address in corresponding field. - Template keyword now properly extracts filename within random system groups. ! @*addr macroses now expanded by default without domain, if you ever need 5d addresses use @*addr{domain} scheme. - Fixed @ofrom, @oto recoding. ! Header of message saved from Golded now defined in template, default assignment (for built-in template, not for yours): @header= @oecho (@caddr) @align{79}{=} @header Msg : @msgno of @msgs@align{44}@attr @header From : @_oname @_oaddr @odtime @header To : @dname @header Subj : @subject @header@align{79}{=} String beyond @header used when you asked for a header. You may also use @write as prefix to store something special if you asked for a message body (with or without header), though have no idea when @write may be useful except of changing first line of template to: @write= @oecho (@caddr) @align{79}{=} + Added new macroses: @msgno current message number in messagebase @msgs number of messages in current messagebase @attr attribute string @align{pos}{char} align to `pos' with `char' @cfrom same as @ofrom but for current message @cto same as @oto but for current message @odtime expanded according to MS_DateTimeFmt for original message time @cdtime current time in MS_DateTimeFmt format @fpgp either e-mail or name from "From" field @dpgp either e-mail or name from "To" field @osver operation system version - Fixed bug in expanding fixed lenght macroses. - Removed useless macroses: @serialno, @os2slash. + Search speed significantly improved in Win32 version. ! Window size in Win32 version now calculated from different parameters, you may need to adjust screen properties before running GoldED+ (especially in Win2k with it's defaults 300 rows :)). Though most users shouldn't noticed this change. + Status line update speed improved. - Fixed character stripping on the clipboard block boundary. ! Default value for DispTabSize changed to 8. !

If one of characters defined by this keyword found before quotechar then line will be not treated as quote. Defaults to "<\"'-", may be used as global keyword or in random system groups. - Fixed page wrapping in help window. - Added some improvements for better charset handling. - Fixed decoding of MIME-encoded From and To fields. - Fixed block keyboard mode under Win9x/ME. - Fixed crash if GoldED+ was unable to open Crashmail II config. + If filenames specified without path and File Attach attribute is set Attachpath automatically prepended to every filename. - Fixed date in attach selection menu. - If directory typed in subject field without slash at the end files from proper directory selected instead of GOLDEDPATH. - Fixed attached file size display if path starts from slash. - Support for old Fastechoes reverted back. - Area Catch-up and Scan now disabled if there's active area. This should improve stability. ! Returned NETNAME keyword in another incarnation: * Origin: bla-bla-bla (2:5020/604.19@fidonet) This style doesn't break any of FTS or FSC. Domain from Address or AKA keywords override Netname keyword if specific address used. This keyword could be used in random system groups. + Added READDirQuoteMsg and READMoveDirQuoteMsg entries for goldkeys.cfg: quote message ignoring Reply-To kludge (in current and another area correspondingly). Both added to READMainmenu menu. There's no default keyboard assignment. - Fixed READMainmenu operation. - Fixed incorrect filenames displaying in /w32 version. - Fixed crash of Win32 version when output/input redirected to/from file. - Fixed case sensivity in macro expansion. - Fixed insertion of extra space before Origin line if entry is taken from file. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.7, December 02 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ - It is now possible to use filepicker if there's very long filenames. - Fixed filelist parser for national languages. + It is now possible to edit Group field in addressbook even though there's no sence for this :-) - Added workaround for inserting of random line into message. - Fixed incorrect help category display after EDITHeader. ! Removed unused help entries from READMainmenu. - Fixed memory overrun in file attach creation. - Fixed insertion of extra spaces around Origin line if entry is taken from file. + Logged version name now combined with release date (for easy sorting out the logs received). - It was impossible to change To: field when replying to the Internet gated message when lookup turned off. Fixed. + Via, Recd and Forwarded kludges now displayed in the bottom of message in JAM areas. - Cut-n-paste Unicode clipboard under Windows NT now properly filled with Unicode version of control characters with the exception of CR, LF, tabulation. It's fun to copy kludges from GoldED+ to WordPad ;-) - Fixed lockout/crash on errorneous exit. - Now if there is no address defined GoldED+ will exit with error at startup rather than crashes later. ! Low-level screen handling routines rearranged. New implementation of Win32 code included. This code should work well with Win2k raster fonts without registry patching. - Fixed incorrect timeslicing in DPMI32 version. - BADAREA and DUPEAREA now "local"s rather then "echo"s for fidoconfig. ! Changed keyboard handling under Win32, Win9x code seems to work better. Shift-Tab no longer require additional keypress of Tab. + Address typed in name field now searched in addressbook as well. - Cosmetic fix: MI_CHARSETAUTO now defaults to " Auto " (i.e. with two spaces around). ! Being annoyed by users who dislike read notework, added COLOR READER QUOTE1. COLOR READER QUOTE now set color for QUOTE1 and QUOTE2 as in old good times. If QUOTE appears before QUOTE2 you may change nothing in your config. - Fixed some bugs in undo feature. - Fixed empty message creation (used in attach, filerequest, etc.) ! Message header now translated with default rules in most cases. If there's something wrong with it (f.e. double decoding or no decoding at all) please report. Also, original message header should be handled more carefully now. + Asciitilde now recognized more properly, so even ~anotheruser/file should work. Also environment variables defined as %TEMP%/file should be expanded in more cases. Feel free to report bug if something doesn't work. - @CC kludges now created at top of message rather than in place where CC: found (this feature was also silently introduced in 1.1.4.5 binaries for some platforms). ! Added historical section to this file regarding to 3.0.1-asa8 and -asa4 releases. No more history left, only guesses... - Fixed Bug #109368: Ged+ crashes if there are more than 30 links in the help. Now accepts up to 50, and ignores more. - Fixed bug that made GoldED+ not behave well with daylight savings time (it showed an hour less). ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.6, September 19 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ + GoldEd+ now recognizes the asciitilde (~) alias for the home directory, in Linux. - Fixed small bug in console shiftstate code under Linux. + Filenames in file requests are not converted to uppercase in Linux any more. + Now it is possible to exclude config file formats and messagebase formats from GoldEd+ at compile-time. - Fixed the message-forward feature. - Fixed a bug in message quoting if QUOTEWRPHARD == YES + You can now read the output of a command instead of a file, using the syntax |command as the input filename. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.5, June 18 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed some memory leaks regarding to GROUP feature, REPLYADDR parsing, undo. - Fixed small bug in fidoconfig parser that brokes correct handling of INCLUDE keyword. - Adjusted buffer size in Crashmail II parser, added LOCALAREA recognition. - EditExportText now saves whole the message to file, this is more predictable behaviour than before. - Fixed incorrect lines chain after insertion from file/clipboard. - Function that builds full pathname bit adjusted for non-UNIX systems. This should lead to better results there. - Fixed wrong character display in editor mode when line empty. - Filed incorrect cutting of line portion. - Fixed FREQ feature. - Fixed addressbook, nodelist browser when in edit header mode. - Fixed small cosmetic bug in nodelist window regarding to filepath. - Bit rearranged code that encodes RFC headers for latin-xx codepages. Now GoldED+ automatically generates proper iso-8859-xx charset. Please response if it doesn't work. + Added dirty hack for Linux console users, so now CUI interface more functional there. - Fixed broken MAPPATH / MAPDRIVE keywords. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.4, April 25 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed sound support under DOS (GSNDAPI). - From the previous version GoldED+ does not read goldrand.cfg separately. Just include it with INCLUDE if not yet ;-) - Fixed some memory leaks. - Fixed small bug regarding cursor position after deleting stuff in input fields. - Fixed crash after saving message to text file. - Fixed incorrect Editcompletion behaviour in overwrite mode. - Fixed incorrect "this message is not from you" message appearance in netmail areas. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.3, February 21 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed incorrect timestamps on messages. + Implemented full access to Synchronet bases. Deleting implemented by setting DEL attribute to the message. - Fixed bugs in origin and tagline selection menus. ! A lot of GoldED+ internals was rearranged once again. - Fixed one more mistyping in TOPT/FMPT kludge fix. ! Maximus 2.x is obsolete by Y2K, removed. - Fixed small bug in CC: processing. - Fixed small cosmetic bug in hexdump. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.2, February 10 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ ! Alexander's charset patch replaced with the similar patch which uses different mechanism: now if charset manually selected then IgnoreCharset option automatically became active. To disable option state you need to select "Auto" charset. + Added new .lng file keyword MI_CHARSETAUTO, defaults to "Auto". ! SWAPPATH removed since it useless. ! GoldED+ no longer uses most of binary configuration files. The required files are: goldhelp.ge?, goldrand.ge?, and goldxlat.ge?. Some of them probably will be removed soon too. ! Added Synchronet message base support in read-only mode. Could be defined in configuration files by using SMB (AreaDef) and Y (Area) identifiers: AREADEF SYNCHRO.TEST "" 0 Local SMB e:\ged\smb\smb\msgbase . (R/O) Please do not try to delete messages or reply in SMB areas, this not implemented yet so the result is unpredictable. - Fixed partially implemented TOPT/FMPT kludges appearance after copying/moving from squish message bases. - Right side slashes now used again when calling externutils. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4.1, January 31 2000 ______________________________________________________________________ - GoldED+ now correctly recognizes RFC-style Date kludge which contains 4 digits year field (not 2 digits as described in RFC-822). - When moving/copying messages from squish netmail to non-squish netmail TOPT and FMPT kludges now added if required. - Fixed date handling in Hudson and GoldBase message bases. ! The following keywords was renamed due to an internal collision: WT_HEADEREDITHELP1 WT_HEADEREDITHELP_1 WT_HEADEREDITHELP2 WT_HEADEREDITHELP_2 - Fixed broken sound support in GoldED+/386. - Fixed set of bugs in fidoconfig parser (broken since moved to STL). - Fixed missed %E token in time format. - Fixed broken @cdate, @ctime macroses. - Added option "lame" to fidoconfig parser. This disables expansion of backslashes as escape-sequences: Areafile fidoconfig -lame m:\y\lame\fidoconfig\is\here + Added keyword BeepFactor, the default value is 1000. This used as multiplier to sound lenght. - One more reason why GoldED+ could crashes at startup fixed. + It is now possible to remove ftn address from the addressbook by cleaning field, not by entering address 0: :-) - Wrapped RFC kludges now properly processed too. ! Casted voodoo spell on STL =%-) Probably GoldED+ stands bit stable now. - Fixed truncation of clipboard name on slashes. + Integrated patches by Alexander Tsvyashchenko: Added new keyword SHOWDELETED to set status of "soft"-deleted messages in Jam bases. Could be switched on the fly by AreaShowDel (default assignment to Alt-F8) in golded.cfg. Added "magic" charset Auto. Now if user have choose translation table manually (by Ctrl-J) GoldED+ will use selected page for translation regardless of the CHRS and CHARSET kludge. If Auto charset selected then GoldED+ will look at the CHARSET kludges first. Please, add something like this to your config if you use XLAT feature and want to use Auto feature: XLATCHARSET AUTO CP866 rus_rus.chs ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.4, January 14 2000 Happy Old New Year! :-) ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug in environment variable extension (introduced in 1.1.3). + GermanKeyboard now also active by default for Polish locale. + Added new template keyword @widepid which is expanded to X-Mailer like string. - Fixed small unsignificant bug in installation procedure which causes leaving zero-sized config if install was terminated. - Fixed memory leak in geline.cpp. + Removed poor stack limitation in DPMI version. - Fixed set of small bugs in internal editor (especially in undo feature). EDITUNDELETE now has same functionality as before GoldED+ 1.1.2 been released. - Fixed two bugs which cause misterious crash in some circumstances on startup. + If TaskTitle defined to empty string then GoldED+/386 will not change virtual machine name. + Added %C in date macroses (short for "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y"). If strftime from RTL of compiler used for build your version of GoldED+ supports undescribed in manual macroses you may use them also but remember that language support via GoldED+ internals provided only for %a, %A, %b, %B, and %C. ! Warning: a lot of code was rearranged once again. This may cause new bugs but it simplifies further development. - Fixed some date-parsing problems. + Thanks to Jacobo Tarrio GoldED+ now have priliminary ncurses support under Linux. It is probably will be easier to port (or even just compile :)) GoldED+ to other x86 UNIX like OS'es. - Fixed bug which breaks creation of "To: bla-bla-bla" line using information taken from addressbook in messages to be gated. + If page from GoldHelp.cfg (the data between two *P identifyers) not fit to single screen it now will be splitted on the window boundary automatically. + Tabulations in inserted text now properly replaced. Please note that expanded lines should not exceed 2Kb boundary (I hope that's ok for most users). - Repaired "Color Reader Hidden" keyword. If something still painted in the regular kludge color please report. + Added new option to "Write to" menu and new keyword for goldlng.cfg file associated with this option: MI_WRITETOHDRONLY "H Use Header: ONLY " Now you may write only header to file/printer/clipboard if required. - Fixed nodelist index creation in GoldNode if one or more nodelist is missed. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.3.3, December 25 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed memory problems in screen handling of Linux and OS/2 versions. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.3.2, December 18 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug in dir handler under Linux. - UNDO now bit properly restore screen after undone of "zap quotes below" and importing file. - Fixed small bug in ZapQuotesBelow. ! Hudson/Goldbase code was merged in single template. Please report any new problem immediately. (For source code users: there is probably no more chance to compile this code with anything except GNU C) ! Removed support for FastEcho < 1.42 (anyway all of them is not Y2K compliant). - Fixed serious bug appeared somewhere in latest -asa's or first GED+'s: if Areareplyto was defined to unexisted area or there was problems with the first area definition then GoldED+ crashed while saving echomail messages. - Probably completely fixed bug in handling netmail. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.3.1, December 06 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed small bug in directory handling class. - Fixed bug in REPLYADDR/REPLYTO handling. - Fixed bug in ADDRESSMACRO keyword handling. - Fixed GoldNode timestamp checking. - Fixed small bug in InternetRFCBody processing (untested). - Fixed incorrect time of files in attach window (only Win32 version was affected). + Added support for Crashmail II areafile: Areafile Crashmail c:\where\is\config.ext ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.3, November 27 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ + A lot of memory leaks removed from window library. ! RDDT ported to STL. + Fidoconfig parser now could recognize Jam option. + GoldNode now could compile as many nodelists/userlists as you want and made bit faster. + AREACOPYDIRECT no longer influence on forwarding. If you like old behaviour there is new keyword AREAFORWARDDIRECT for you which could be defined to Yes or No and used in Random System Group as well as AREACOPYDIRECT. - CROSSPOST now defaults to Ask as promised before ;-) - Fixed creation of broken @CC kludge. ! MS_LISTCC now defaults to "%s %s", ST_STATUSCC - "CC: %s of %s". Please adjust it in your goldlang.cfg if you use it. ! WARNING: Some basic internal classes (filebrowser, *.msg scanning code, string class, crossposting, carbon copying, addressbook) was redesigned or significantly changed. - Minor fixes in editor. ! SoftCR now replaced in right place ;-) I mean it is replaced on saving message to base, not at the moment of entering message. So probably spellcheckers could be used more safely. Also this fixes problem with replacing SoftCR under Linux. SoftCR not translated in Subject field of Attach, Freq and UReq messages which looks to be ok. SoftCRs now properly used in Squish message base with DispSoftCR turned on (they was stripped at the beginning of new line regardless of this keyword option). If EditHardTerm turned OFF but DispSoftCR turned ON SoftCRs no longer produced in Ezycom bases. This may broke something but I don't see any reason why this should fail. I should also note that this feature is works ONLY in combination with DispSoftCr Yes. Russian users may copy following two lines to forget about SoftCR-problem completely: -- cut here -- DispSoftCr Yes EditSoftCrXlat H -- cut here -- ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.2, November 04 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ + GoldED+ now have undo in internal editor. *BIG* thanx to Denis Zavorotny (2:467/28) who implement it. Default assignment to Alt-Backspace: @Backspace EditUndo NB! As undo stack is currently unlimited, to avoid unpredictable behaviour when the top of stack reaches an item with freed line, the kill-buffer (Ctrl-Y) was made unlimited also (i.e. EDITUNDELETE has no effect in this version). - Fixed bug with incorrect handling of USER.BBS file. - #Del now supported in goldkeys.cfg under DOS, Win32, and OS2. - Added new keyword CROSSPOST to configure query appearence before crosspossting, defaults to Ask. Possible values: Yes, No, and Ask. - Added LOCALAREA support to fidoconfig parser. - Canceling nodelist browser while lookup carbon copies to unexisted address no loner produce letters to your address. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.1.2, September 20 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed 'unfreed memory' error message appearence (broken in 1.1.1.1). ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.1.1, September 08 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed pasting from clipboard broken since 1.1.1. - Squish config parser once again uses -$ at the beginning as identifier of squish format for echo. This behaviour confirmed by Scott Dudley so Partoss users should use -f flag at the end if they uses groups (-$g) or descriptions (-$n) for Fido-style bases. - I forgot to mention that there are new goldlang keyword added: MS_CCTO "* Carbon copied to %s" Thanks to Andrew again :-) ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.1, August 16 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed triming of spaces when pasting from clipboard. - Probably fixed appearence of AREA: kludge on crossposting / carbon copying when AreaYouWroteTo used. - Fixed memory overrun in CHS table reader. ! Added three new tokens that could be invalidated: cc, xc, xp. This lines only invalidated when message forwarded or text inserted via EDITRead menu. - Probably fixed memory overrun that appeared while invalidating. - Fixed incorrect cc: processing in Names mode ("CC: " was missed in first line). - Fixed bug in USERNAME parser. - Fixed bug in crosspost hiding. - Fixed bug with missed headers in written messages. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.0.0, July 15 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Actually print device should be left open so I just broke printing, sorry :( + Added powerful uu/xx/mime/binhex multi-messages decoder using uulib from well-known uudeview by Frank Pilhofer. Please note that it writes all selected messages to disk before decoding so selecting whole base simultaneously is not a good idea ;-) + Fixed bug rarely appeared while uudecoding messages (caused by long filepathes). - Fixed quoting that was broken in 1.1.0 version. + Added new keywords to Goldkeys.cfg: EditCopy, EditCut, EditDelete, EditPaste, EditBlockPgUp, EditBlockPgDn, EditBlockHome, EditBlockEnd, EditBlockUp, EditBlockDown, EditBlockLeft, EditBlockRight. + Added keyword AreaCFMReplyTo to send CFM messages to particular area. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for GoldED+ 1.1.0, July 07 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ + Added new keyword GermanKeyboard , defaults to autodetect. Processed only by Win32 version, ignored by others. When active right Alt key will be processed as AltGr, otherwise it will have same functionality as left Alt. This keyword replaces command-line switch -R. ! Removed support for Netname keyword since it breaks our primary FTS standarts. - Kludge ROUTE actually looks like #ROUTE. Fixed. + Fixed crossposting to 5D FTN addresses. - Fixed destruction of various long wrapped kludges (mostly relies to Internet kludges). Please report if there's something new broken ;-) - Fixed fix intended for long kludges wrapping problem resolving. + Added new keyword FormFeedSeparator. Switched off by default, when enabled inserts Form Feed (0x0c) character between messages while saving to file. - Fix bug which causes printer device left open after printing. + It is now possible to write multiple messages to clipboard. - @d*name, @dpseudo tokens now accept third parameter to specify "all" name, this feature replaces previously announced feature with automatic conversion Whoto to lowercase. - Fixed stupid bug in sqafix config parser which broke it completely. - Slightly changed keyboard behaviour in DOS and OS/2 versions: if NUMLOCK is active then numpad keys pressed together with shift-keys treated just like grey keys (without shifts). Now it is common behaviour for OS/2, DOS and Win32 versions. Linux version only missed... Till 1.0.2 hopefully ;-) - Fixed entering of russian letter 'p' (0xe0) in OS/2 version on extended keyboards, and entering of dot from numpad in Win95. ! Changed name of product to GoldED+, naming convention for archives now: gpPABCCC.ext, where gp stands for GoldED Plus, P - platform ID (x - DOS32, w - Win32, o - OS/2, l - Linux, s - sources, and m - manual), A - major version, B - middle version (odd for stable, even for unstable), CCC - minor version. - Fix in Squish config parser: according to documentation -$mXXX implicitly turns on -$ switch. - Fixed endless loop when answering on message with Area kludge pointed to current area. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa10 beta3, June 30 1999 (Happy Birthday, Svetik & Kira! ;-)) ______________________________________________________________________ ! Due to limitations of Windows 9x Title in /386 version works only if GoldEd runned from DOS console application and not from within Win32 console application. Bit improved. + Some new language configuration keywords added: MS_ORIGINALLYIN "* Originally in %s" WT_CROSSPOST " Crosspost " MI_XCPROCESS "P Process XC's " MI_XCIGNORE "I Ignore XC's " MI_XCLISTFMT "L List Format " WT_XCLIST " XC List " MI_XCLISTRAW "K Keep " MI_XCLISTVERBOSE "V Verbose " MI_XCLISTLINE "L Line " MI_XCLISTREMOVE "R Remove " WT_ADDRESSBOOK " Addressbook " WT_ADVANCEDSEARCH " Advanced Search " IL_NOMOREMATCHES " No more matches found " WT_HEADEREDITHELP1 " #F10: Nodelist " WT_HEADEREDITHELP2 " F10: Addressbook " WT_THREADLISTTITLE " Message Thread List " WT_ADVANCEDMARKING " Advanced Marking " ST_USERSTATUSLINE "GoldED's Address Book - %d of %d (%d left)" WT_USERHEADERNAME "Name" WT_USERHEADERORG "Organization" WT_USERHEADERAKA "Address" IL_USERWAIT " Wait - Browsing Address Book... " + It is possible to make carbon copies directly from echo to AreaReplyTo area if this area is netmail. - Added experimental support for QEcho by Eugene Sorochinsky (with JAM messagebases) AreaList file. Specifying primary address by number is not supported. If location is not specified then GoldEd takes default value /etc/qecho/AreaList (untested). AREAFILE qecho /etc/qecho-jam/AreaList + Added support for DZ echolist format: AREAFILE echolist echo5020.lst -dz - Fixed small bug in sqafix arealist parser. - Fixed buggy feature of squish parser that forces area to squish format as long as it parses -$ at the beginning of switch (now exact token -$ should be present). - If typing over selected block in internal editor selected text will be killed. - Locale now supported in djgpp and emx verions. Please note, that to use locale in DOS you should have COUNTRY properly configured in config.sys. ! Removed support for GIF kludge. - Fixed output of attribute window if it out of screen bounds. - Removed fix of output in non-standart screen modes ;-) - Fix origin line in carbon copies. ! If first lines in message begins with From: or To: such lines will be parsed like an internet address. - A lot of fixes / features related to carbon copies creation: it is possibe now to use addressbook and addressmacro (subject and attributes not changed though) with it, if replying on internet originated message it is possible now to override address, To: lines in carbon copies used only when appropriate, it is now possible to specify full name of addresse in internet carbon-copies (for example, cc: "Alexander S. Aganichev" ). ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa10 beta2, June 21 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fix problem with hiding stylecodes after hexdump viewing. - Fix problem painting stylecodes while editing. - Fix incorrect behaviour of RcvDisablesCfm in some cases. - Fix EditChangeDate Always behaviour. - Fix/cleanup D'Bridge, EzyCom, FMail 0.98, GEcho prior to 1.20, IMail, InterMail, LoraBBS, Maximus 3.xx, Opus, PCBoard, ProBoard, Portal of Power, QuickBBS, QFront, QWK, RemoteAccess, RA-Echo, SuperBBS, TosScan, WMail, XMail, and XBBS config parsers. - Fixed output in non-standart screen modes (i.e. in 72x25: GoldEd sometimes outputs characters out of screen range). + Added support for ANSIPLUS clipboard under DOS (untested). + Added Title support in /386 version under Win9x. + Golded now will prompt before crossposting. ! Invalidation of tearline, origins, and seen-by's also done at savetime. Please note that if you don't like quotation of tearline and/or origin you should use QUOTECTRL keyword and not INVALIDATE keyword. - Kludge ROUTE added to default list of known kludges. ! Keyword IFMAILGATES replaced with ADDRESSLOOKUPFIRST with possible values MSGID and Origin. + Added keyword QUOTECTRL with possible list of values Yes, No, Tearline, and Origin. Default Yes. This keyword could be used in random system groups. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa10 beta1, June 13 1999 (Happy Birthday, Lubashka! ;-)) ______________________________________________________________________ + Added keyword RcvDisablesCfm (default yes) that controls checking of Cfm and RRq flags on mail with Rcv one. - Fix Fileattach-problem in Linux-version (filenames got uppercased) + GoldED now produces a more standard-conforming and informative X-Mailer string, like i.e. "GoldED 3.0.1-dam3 (Linux 2.2.9 i586)". The information is (of course) calculated at runtime rather at compile time. ! A '%' in the domainpart of the Message-ID (internet part) caused some braindead spamfilters to activate. Therefore it is now again replaced by a dot, as ever before. Note that you can configure the domain-part by using INTERNETDOMAIN! Most users won't care about it, however. ! X-Mailer seems to be more often used than X-Mailreader. So GoldED now also sets X-Mailer instead of the second one. - Don't automatically add new entries to the addressbook if - name is an email address - address is a MAILINGLIST sender address ! Made the "Organization" coloumn a little bit smaller, so address coloum is larger (useful for inet-style addresses) ! Fidoconfig now parsed more properly and even properly than with original library by Matthias Tichy. I don't think that someone should continue using fidoconfig library due to a lot of bugs and incompletions in it. On some unexplainable reasons comments in fidoconfig stripped from the back, so following line broke parser: Sysop Test line # with bug # and " features The only supported version is 0.15 since Matthias ignore my question about backward compatibility of configuration files. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa9 SR3, June 8 1999 (Win32 binary only) ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug in FrontDoor config parser. + Added support for Fidoconfig (HPT). - Fixed bug in text selection when cursor wrapped at the beginning or end of line. - Due to reinstalling system there are no support for sound in Mingw32 binary. It will return as soon as I upgrade libraries. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa9 SR2, May 28 1999 (diffs to 990518 snapshot) ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug in clipboard handling in /386 version under windows. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa9 SR1, May 28 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, win32, diffs to 990518 snapshot) ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug with broken TZUTC. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa9, May 28 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, win32, diffs to 990518 snapshot) ______________________________________________________________________ + Multimedia now supported in Mingw32 version (requires dirty hacks in standart headers. If you don't like hacks you could disable support in gall/gsnd.cpp and wait for a new version of headers. + Timestamps in Mingw32 version now compatible with other versions. Old timestamps now used again. + Locale now used where available, so at least Win32 version will properly handle case conversion. + IfmailGates (yes/[no]) - do not use address from Origin. + TaskTitle "string" - window title (Win32 and OS/2 only). + TitleStatus ([yes]/no) - adds brief description to title. + GedHandshake ([yes]/no) - hides handshake in statusline. + UseTZUTC (yes/[no]) - activates TZUTC kludge. (NB! This keyword makes TimeZoneOffset obsolete. You should also set up timezone. Probably you should add TZ variable to your environment. At my system (Moscow, Russia) it setted up to: TZ=MSK-3MSD,M3.5.0/02:00,M10.5.0/03:00 + AreaYouWroteTo now could be used in random groups. + Subjects now autoconverted from mime encoding. + Golded now uses system clipboard in internal editor. + If clipboard not provided by OS or not supported (DOS, OS/2 without PM, UNIX'es) GoldEd use fake clipboard, so you still able to copy mail from area to buffer and then insert it in your message. + Fixed crashes on viewing some messages and hexdump appeared since -asa8 release. + Fixed insertion of lines sized 79-80 chars without from clipboard that was broken in early -asa. + Fixed painting of wrapped kludges. + Fixed wrapping of quotes that was broken in early -asa. - Removed obsolete keywords: AREAAUTOFREQ, AREABADMSGS, AREASORT, AUTOATTACH, BEEPFACTOR, BLANKTIME, BOARDNOS, CCATTRIB, CCLIST, CFMATTRIB, CHANGEDATE, CHANGEPROMPT, CHARSET, CLEARKEYS, COLOUR, COMMENTNOISE, COOKIEFILE, CRLFTERM, DELORIG, DISPMSGLIST, DISPMSGLISTFAST, DISPSTYLECODES, ECHOATTRIB, ECHOINFO, EDITMARGIN, ELIMSNOW, ESCSET, EXCLAREA, EXPORTCHARSET, EXTKEYS, FIELDCLEAR, FILECHECK, FILECHECKCALL, FREETEAR, GOLDEDCFM, GOLDEDLOG, GOLDEDLST, GOLDEDMSG, GOLDEDNAM, GOLDEDPRN, HARDLINE, HARDLINES, HWMARKS, INCLAREA, INTERNALEDITOR, LASTREAD, LASTREADUSER, LISTWRAP, LOCALATTRIB, LOCALCHARSET, LOCALHIGHLIGHT, LOCALINFO, LOCALNOISE, MATCHAKA, MAXCOLS, MAXMSGSIZE, MAXROWS, MIXCASE, MULTIQBBS, NETATTRIB, NETINFO, NETTEAR, NEXTAREA, NEXTMSGS, NOISEFACTOR, OVERLAYEMS, OVERLAYEXT, PAGEBAR, QBBSINCRESCAN, QBBSPATH, QBBSREBUILD, QBBSSCAN, QMSGPATH, REALMSGNO, REBUILD, RENAREA, REPLYRE, RIGHTMARGIN, SAVEMENU, SAVETIME, SAYBIBI, SCANAREA, SHADOWS, SHARE, SHOWTWITS, SPACEQUOTES, SPELLCHECKER, STACKKEYS, STARTECHO, SWAPALL, SYSOP, TABSIZE, TIMESLICEDV, UNDELETELINES, USEBIOS, and XPLIST. + SqaFix configuration parser added: AreaFile EchoList -sqafix c:\fido\mail\squish\sqafix.cfg + It is possible now to use Shift-... with clipboard. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa8, April 22 1999 ______________________________________________________________________ + Added @Moderator template token that enables line only if substring "moderator" found in the "From" line. + Improved handling of @_token's and extend tokens with @*pseudo (lookup addressbook), @f* (current from), @*3daddr (boss address). + Incorporated Pavel Gulchouck's stream clipboard patch. + New command-line switch -R: right Alt key will work same as left. - Fixed a bug with stripping block of lines after long kludge. - Fixed stylecodes support for origin line. - Fixed national language word left, word right movement. - Areas.BBS parser now properly handles echos with exclamation mark. - Fixed ImportEnd flow while importing file without CR at end and option EDITHardTerm set to NO. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa7 build 2, April 05 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, win32. diffs could be provided on request) ______________________________________________________________________ - Now UsePID actually works. It was a bad idea to save two bytes on brackets ;) - Major fix to strlwr, strupr appeared in many places in DJGPP version introduced in -asa7 - Fixed clipboard handling in DJGPP version ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa7, March 31 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, win32) ______________________________________________________________________ + Next experiment on stylecodes. - Fixed problem with long ImportBegin and ImportEnd lines by cutting to display margin. + Global Macro now supported while in edit mail header mode. - Fixed bug with missed sound support in DJGPP version + Proper charset ID now used in encoded e-mail headers - Fixed serious bug in Windows clipboard handling in Win32 version introdused in -asa6 + Incorporated patches by Igor Vanin: ExternUtils did not work if compiled using Watcom C++ 10.0b for OS/2 because of using spawnvpe() RTL-call instead of system(). Fixed. Added new keywords into configuration file: USEPID (default = yes) If disabled, the PID kludge is not inserted in messages (for those, who does not like many kludges in messages). USECHARSET (default = yes) If disabled, the CHRS kludge is not inserted in messages (for those, who does not like many kludges in messages). Added/fixed system clipboard support in OS/2 version. Menu commands: Import -> From clipboard, Write to -> Clipboard. Function gposixdir::open did not work because of backslash at the end of path (compiler WC/2 10.0b). Fixed (as in 3.0.0). There were problems with cursor size in non-standard _fullscreen_ video modes (for example, 80x30) in OS/2 version. Fixed. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa6, March 22 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, win32) ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed bug in Windows clipboard handling - Fixed old bug with quoting text after long kludge. + Added keyword EncodeEMailHeaders (default Yes). If No then RFC header will not be encoded with quoted-printable. - @changed in default template fixed to use @cname instead of @fpseudo. - Little fix to stylecodes detection. - Little fix in origin/tearline detection. + It is possible now to use Windows 3.x / Windows 9x clipboard in DOS/386g version. + @*addr now use internet addresses if required. + GoldNODE can now compile more than 65500 nodes (only 32-bit versions). ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa5, March 09 1999 (binary release DOS/386g) ______________________________________________________________________ - GoldEd no longer lookups pseudonyms in addressbook if not required. - Fixed DJGPP compiled version output interface to work properly under Windows NT. I don't know if it properly works under DESQView now. - Fixed small bug with importing unterminated long lines. - Little fix to stylecode-detection to skip marking of c:* c:\*.*, also could be done by STYLECODESTOPS/STYLECODEPUNCT in config. - Bugfix in @*pseudo handling. I've stupidly copied portion of code... Sorry to all ;( - Bugfix in origin detection. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1-asa4, February 21 1999 (binary release DOS/386g, Win32) ______________________________________________________________________ + FSC-0032 compliant quote-check, except for space after '>'. Bound is set to 10 chars. + New stylecode-detection algorithm. /usr/sbin/ftpd and *.* no longer will be marked. Please report any problems to or 2:5020/604.19 + READaddressbookadd now checks for the marked messages. + CROSSPOSTLIST now could be defined to YES to produse more compact lines. Also there are little fix to missed name of current echo in lists. You still be able to hide it's name if put # in front of it in first line with xc: - Repaired STYLECODES keyword (gccfgg0.cpp, gdefs.h, gutlmisc.cpp). Valid options are YES (show and mark), NO (show and do not mark), HIDE (strip and mark). + New macroses (gemsgs.cpp): @faddr Current address. @ffname Current first name. @flname Current last name. @fname Current name. @_faddr Current address (fixed width: 19 chars). @_fname Current name (fixed width: 34 chars). @f* is differ from @c* in that fact, that it's actual "From:" @?pseudo pseudonym (see addressbook), or @?fname, where ? is one of the "dotfc". + DJGPP version now support long filenames (if provided by OS), you could disable it by setting environment variable LFN to N. - small bug in USERNAME, which added an invalid aka if there was a comma in the parameter. ! Because of the linux paths which may start with a "/", AREAFILE options parser has changed. Previously, it inofficially accepted a slash as a starting charactor for an option (note this wasn't documented!). Now, options may only start by an "-". Please adjust your config, if you used such undocumented behaviour! Example: Change AREAFILE Imail c:\im /NoChk to AREAFILE Imail c:\im -NoChk. - @origin, @tearline and @tagline tokens weren't replaced by random lines when using them in a template file. Fixed. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for 3.0.1, February 7 1999 (binary version release) ______________________________________________________________________ + GoldNODE can now handle IF/ELSE/ENDIF conditional and INCLUDE directives in configuration file. + Extended syntax of the following template tokens: @oname, @ofname, @olname, @dname, @dfname, @dlname. You can now add up to two replacement tokens according to the following sheme: @oname{I}{You} wrote a mail to @dname{me}{you}: GoldED will select the right replacement strings. You can specify empty braces, like @oname{}{You} or @oname{I}{} (shorter, but equivalent variant is @oname{I}). Note that the new syntax is of course optional, you can use @oname like before and don't care about this new feature. + Added READaddressbookadd, defaults to Ctrl-B. When using this key, GoldED will add the current writer of the mail to the addressbook, unless it's already known to it. + Added packing of Addressbook. Default key-assignment (which cannot be changed at the moment) is ALT-P. When you call that function, GoldED will remove all "soft" deleted (by pressing ) entries physically on disk. With other words, there is no undo, so be care- ful with it! + Addressbook now uses filesharing. That means to can work simultan- eously in two different GoldED instances and editing in both the addressbook. + Added new keyword NICKNAME to define a nickname for main USERNAME. Keyword can be used globally and in random user groups. - GoldED/Lnx: Don't reset to 80x24 on exit (xterm only). - GoldED/Lnx: For those who had problems with the screen output, those problems should be now gone. If not, please report. + Added INTERNETDOMAIN , default "username%domain.de", which is taken from INTERNETADDRESS "username@domain.de". Here you can define what domain the outgoing mails should represent in the Message-ID headerline. If you don't know what I'm talking about, leave it as default, simply ignore it. It's for those who want to tweak GoldED to be maximum RFC1036 compatible. ! Again adjusted the "message origiating" AKA guessing code. See ChangeLog (as always) for details. - GoldED/W32: Due to another bug in the Windows API, GoldED cannot really hide the cursor if it is in window mode. So the cursor will be moved to the lower left of the screen, where it's tolerable. [Odinn: This fix was not good - commented out in the release] - Fixed SOUPEXPORTMARGIN-Bug. You can now set it back to the default again. - Several fixes to the W32 keyboard code, thanks to Leonid Lisovsky. - When using MAPPATH in connection with AREAFILE Squish, GoldED some- times couldn't read the squish.cfg correctly. Fixed. - GoldED/W32: Fixed "Escape-key" bug under WinNT, and also some other keyboard mapping problems (Leonid Lisovsky ). ! GoldED now knows the "Mailing-List" headerline. It ignores the line, however. - The MSGID/REPLY crc values of SOUP imported emails was incorrectly calculated. Fixed. - GoldED/Lnx: Fileattach-filenames won't be translated to upper-case any more. - The fileattach-filebrowser now also works in Linux-version, thanks to patches by Leonid Lisovsky ! - There was a Y2K bug in the filebrowser fileyear display routine. (Yes, is difficult to explain). Fixed. - PMSCANning in *.msg-areas didn't check the newest msg in the area. - READmarkingoptions/Mark your personal mail was broken. - Fixed small quirks in Goldnode/Lnx code. - Goldnode crashed when it was unable to read even a single NODELIST. - Goldnode/Lnx was unable to handle wildcards in NODELIST file names. - GoldED/Lnx wrote wrong REPLIES-files during soup-exporting. Fixed. - GoldED crashed while accessing the addressbook. Fixed. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for pre-3.0.0-1, December 27 1998 (first open source release) ______________________________________________________________________ - Goldnode/Lnx couldn't access paths as they were converted to upper case during config read. Fixed. - When SOUP importing, the mailing list feature also processed newsgroup articles instead of only emails as it should. ! Removed the following GOLDKEYS.CFG commands, as they're already replaced by newer ones since years: (old keyword) (replacement) READgotodownlink READgotoreplyprev READgotouplink READgotoreplies READgotoreply1st READgotoreplynext Please adjust your config files. - GoldED didn't update goldlast.lst when doing soupimport/soupexport and using the -noscan cmdline parameter. - GoldED had not always read the goldlast.lst file correctly, especially if the user removed one or more areas between two sessions. - The advanced search feature didn't find all occurences. Previously, GoldED did a "shortcircuit"-evaluation to speed up the search, that means GoldED stopped scanning a mail before all branches of a boolean condition were evaluated under certain conditions. Now, GoldED will search a "hit" mail again completely to mark all occurences of search-patterns. ! Because some users complained that the popping-up "Wait" - window during autosaving is irritating them too much, the window has been now replaced by a small statusline message. - The following goldlang.cfg keywords were incorrectly documented: MI_WRITETIHDRYES "H Use Header: YES " MO_NODROP "N No Drop / ESC " Of course, they are in fact called: MI_WRITETOHDRYES "H Use Header: YES " MI_NODROP "N No Drop / ESC " - If you used Goldnode, USERLIST statements and accessed these entries in the GoldED nodelist browser, it was likely that GoldED crashed. This is now finally fixed. ! Raised the maximum nodelist limit to 45 lists in goldnode. - Fixed a very serious bug in GoldNode, that caused mysterious crashes, misbehaviour or broken index files when compiling. This bug has been existing since years in Goldnode, and is most probably the cause for any misbehaviour GoldNode users reported in the past time. - When using "XC: *" or similiar commands, GoldED tried to crosspost also to the area separators. Fixed. - GoldED sometimes jumped to the second marked area after startup when using AREAAUTONEXT YES. Hopefully fixed all cases. - The READthreadtree didn't allow to mark more messages than one screensize, because GoldED stopped to advance the cursor-position at the end of the window. ! Changed the "INVALIDATE Tearline" default back to the value like it was in older days: INVALIDATE Tearline "---" "-+-" Because of a changed INVALIDATE-handling, the old default work- around default setting isn't needed any longer and caused other problems. ! The @pseudo will now also be used in the default internal template instead of @tfname. - The @pseudo-token was not always expanded correctly, i.e. when quote-replying a mail without using the addressbook during header-editing. - Fixed a bug in Hudson areas where GoldED set the "Snd" flag even if Rcv flag was set. - Fixed '5' key if NUM LOCK was turned off. - The screen got garbled when doing a addressbook-lookup while editing the header and pressing a key that changed a message attribute. - GoldED didn't set CHRS-kludge correctly if charset translation level was != 2. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta5, August 16 1998 ______________________________________________________________________ * The Linux version is now compiled with pgcc c++ 1.0.3a with Pentium optimization (will still run on 386/486) and is statically linked. - Fixed Ctrl-J keyboard bug when running the W32 version on NT. - When using XLATIMPORT IBMPC, XLATEXPORT LATIN-1 and XLATLOCALSET LATIN-1 (typical setup for GoldED/Lnx users), GoldED set a wrong charset kludge when changing the header of mails. Fixed. - GoldED will no longer insert the Reply-To: headerline in News/Email areas if it is the same as From: headerline. ! During SOUPimport, GoldED will no longer kill mails which are from INTERNETADDRESS. Instead, GoldED will now honour the k/s flag during SOUPexport, which means that GoldED will delete your selfwritten mails after export if you set the k/s flag. - When using the AREAcatchup key with "marked areas", GoldED did not always update the display correctly. Fixed. - Fixed printing bug. + The advanced search features are now also available for marking messages via the Alt-S marking menu in the reader. See the Beta4 notes for details on the capabilities. + Implemented better support for tossing mailing list emails to different areas. The syntax of the MAILINGLIST keyword was inadequate to support pattern matching, so a new keyword MAILTOSS has been added, which is actually MAILINGLIST in disguise with the parameters reordered and enabling the full set of pattern matching as in the new advanced search feature. The syntax of the new keyword is: MAILTOSS Note that the contribution address is required. The pattern can be written exactly as if in the prompt for the advanced search feature (see notes from Beta4). Any number of MAILTOSS lines can be given for a particular list, if for some reason there is no single way to identify the list. When determining the contribution address, the first MAILTOSS (or MAILINGLIST) that matches the echoid is chosen. MAILTOSS and MAILINGLIST can both be used at the same time and for the same lists. MAILINGLIST is always the faster, because it looks only at specific headerlines. MAILTOSS uses much more complex pattern matching and can even match based on message body content. Some examples: MAILTOSS list.xircon xircon@xircon.com : "[XIRCON]" (match in the subject) MAILTOSS list.qmail djb-qmail@koobera.math.uic.edu > "djb-qmail" (match in the to/cc/bcc field) + Added very limited support for the headerlines Cc: and Bcc:. They are now stored internally so that they can be used for the MAILTOSS feature. When matching on the To: field, Cc: and Bcc: are checked too, if To: doesn't match. - If F10 was used during editing the header, GoldED did not always filled the header fields with correct values. ! GoldED will now jump to the first area with unread mail even at startup if using AREAAUTONEXT YES. - In *.msg netmail areas, but probably at other places too, GoldED showed incorrect originating akas if there were no Origin line given in the msg. Fixed. ! The GoldED/386 version is released in two editions, one GED386.EXE compiled with Watcom and requiring DOS4GW as in versions before Beta4. The other is GED386G.EXE, which is compiled with DJGPP (gcc 2.8.1) and requiring DPMI memory (CWSDPMI.EXE is included to provide this service, as DOS4GW does it for the Watcom edition). - Fixed one cause of the unfreed allocations in geline.cpp. This happened during SOUP import, if there were msgs from your INTERNETADDRESS. This bug was introduced in Beta3. There may still be another cause for the unfreed allocations, since many of the reports did not deal with SOUP import. Please check your GOLDED.LOG sometimes after starting to run Beta5, to see if these unfreed allocations still occur. Don't worry too much about them, they are just fairly harmless memory leaks. NOTE: BEFORE REPORTING, PLEASE CHECK THE ECHOES FIRST AND SEE IF THE PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED! - Fixed a small bug that could cause a crash during startup when using the COLOR config keyword incorrectly. + It's now possible to use during editing the header, which allows browsing the addressbook to select a dest name and address. - COLOR HEADER BTYPE 7 didn't work. Fixed. ! Ged/Lnx: The ESCDELAY will now be only around 100ms, so you probably won't notice it any more. - Fixed another "UNREG UNREG" issue. - GoldED will no longer auto-add new users to the addressbook if the user's name matches one or more of the following conditions: 1) It's a USERNAME 2) It's a ROBOTNAME 3) It's the same as WHOTO 4) Aka/Address is unknown ! There are now again built-in defaults for ROBOTNAME and FRQEXT as in all previous versions. - When selecting the same addressbook-entry for editing twice, GoldED showed wrong values the second time. Fixed. - Under some circumstances, GoldED jumped to the end-of-list instead of just one page down when pressed PgDwn in the arealist-screen. Fixed. ! The "scaled down echoid feature" in the arealist-screen has been removed again, until it's possible to make it configurable using AREALISTFORMAT. ! GoldED will now try to use a valid fido-aka taken from the origin line (if existing) before using a valid fido-aka taken from the msgid as the originating aka. This is experimental code, please report if there are any disadvantages using this method. ! If an area was excluded from pm-scanning, and the user performed a pm-scan, the area will now scanned normally. Previously, GoldED didn't scan the area at all. - When forwarding a mail, GoldED selected the origin-line of the forwarded message as the origin line of the forwarder message. Fixed. - Keyboard commands on key '5' did only work if Num lock was enabled. Probably fixed. ! BEEPFACTOR is now obsolete and has no function any more. - GoldED did not write GOLDED.MSG if it already existed and the user selected External Editor for editing. Fixed. - GoldED/386 (DJGPP port) did always report "xxx reports error 0: no error" when error-exiting. Fixed. - If ESC was pressed during adding a new addressbook entry, the cursor bar disappeared and the program was no longer useable. Fixed. - If EMPTYTEARLINE YES was used, GoldED filled the tearline with garbage. Fixed. - Fixed a memory overrun problem which occured under some circumstances when working with *.MSG areas. It was reported in the log as "Pointer error exit at [gmofido1.cpp,112]". - The addressbook was not properly portable between the Win32 and OS/2 versions. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta4, July 12 1998 ______________________________________________________________________ ! GoldED/386 is now compiled with DJGPP (GCC 2.8.1). Because of this, DOS4GW.EXE is no longer necessary for GoldED/386. ! In this version, there are no built-in defaults for ROBOTNAME and FRQEXT. See the manual for lists that you can include in your GOLDED.CFG, if you need these definitions. - Fixed a bug that could cause the "Could not find anything to uudecode in this message" even for valid uuencoded content in a message. - Fixed keyboard code in the Win32 version to work properly with Windows 98. + Implemented advanced searching features. Currently as an extended edition of the find function (alt-f, alt-z), but later a search manager (similar to those seen in other programs) and other improvements. The advanced search is used in much the same way as the old find function, but many more options are available and there is some changes in behavior. Highlights of the new features: * Four different pattern matching algorithms to chose from: Plain (same as always). Shell-style wildcard matching (using * and ?). Regex. Uses the FSF extended regular expression library. Fuzzy matching. Like plain, but allows one or more mismatches. * Logic expressions with "and", "or", "not" can be used. * Spaces and option characters can be included in patterns. * Exclude or include kludges, tagline, tearline, origin, signature. - Search backward. Must be first character, if used. + Search forward (default). Must be first character, if used. ! Logic not (match when NOT found). & Logic and (match this AND that). | Logic or (match this OR that). < Match "from" header field. > Match "to header field. : Match "subject" header field. # Match message body (but not any control lines). . Match tagline. _ Match tearline. * Match origin line. @ Match signature. % Match kludges/headerlines. = Match case-sensitive (defaults to not case-sensitive). ' Do not match. Place after an option. ^ Toggle match. Place after an option. ?p Plain search (default). ?r Regex search. ?w Wildcard search. ?f Fuzzy search with one mismatch allowed. ?f2 Fuzzy search with two mismatches allowed. ?f3 Fuzzy search with three mismatches allowed. You can enclose a pattern string with double ("") or single ('') quotes if you want to match a sentence with spaces or which contains option characters. The backslash is a literal-escape character. If a backslash is found, the next character is treated as part of the pattern, not as an option character. Use this for example to search for a sentence with quotes and spaces. Spaces are used as separation characters and are ignored, except when enclosed in quotes. The first set of option characters on a search expression line is used as the "global default". The next set of option characters is bound to the following pattern. A pattern is completed by the end of the line or by the logic options '&' or '|'. If none of the options '<', '>' or ':' are used in the global default part, the default is to search all three. Some examples: To search for the authors name, allowing most common misspellings: ?f1 odinn (matches odin, odinn, oddin, odiin etc) To search for OS/2 and Warp 4: OS/2 & "Warp 4" To search for any occurrance of Odinn or Dirk in the from-line: < Odinn | Dirk To search for zip file announcements using wildcard matching: ?w "*.zip*" To search case-sensitive for some string: = "All Comes To Those Who Wait" Some regular expression searches: ?r "Warp *4" (matches both "Warp 4" and "Warp4") ?r "OS/*2" & "Warp *4" Due to the many different matching algorithms, the search highlight can no longer highlights a matching word, but will instead highlight the whole line. NOTE: A common mistake will be to forget to escape or quote-enclose option characters in pattern strings. For example, what's wrong with this, if you want to search for zip files: ?w *.zip* Nothing, but the first '*' is interpreted as if you want to search in origin lines, which is not what you want. - If echoid of an area was longer than 45 chars and no description was given, GoldED was unable to access the area. Fixed. + The Echoid's in the arealist screen will now be "scaled down" to the maximum available width instead of just being cut off. - The WaZOO style filerequests didn't work in the Linux-version because GoldED used the wrong slashes for the directories. Hopefully fixed now. - FILEALIASes didn't work when using READmakepathreport. - Fixed write-to-file. When there was an existing file of the same name as you wanted to write to, append did not work, but overwrote instead. Because of this bug, writing several marked msgs to a file did not work either. - Fixed a bug that could cause the GoldED Win32 version to crash when writing to a file. - Fixed a bug that caused mis-formatted GOLDAREA.INC output. + Added AREAFILE Watergate . Reads WaterGate v0.93 and newer. Currently none of the imported areas have any group assigned, because the group system WaterGate uses is incompatible to GoldED's. Suggestions are welcome. + Added template expansion token @pseudo. It contains the nick name (address book feature) of the destination user if available, else @tfname. Example: Hello @pseudo! ! GoldED will now check SEMAPHORE EXITNOW before any (re-)scanning semaphores. This gives you the chance to restart GoldED first before scanning the areas (for the case that a new area has arrived). - GoldED sometimes showed the wrong help category when pressing F1. This is now fixed. + Added an Address Book for GoldED. It's contents is stored in a file named GOLDUSER.LST in the GoldED directory. To list it's contents, press ALT-F10 while reading mails. If you press Enter on an entry, you can view/edit it. If you press , you can manually add a new user. GoldED will use the aka/address you specified when writing mails. [description not complete] ! Changed the default keyboard layout: Previously: @F10 READtogglemarkread now: @F10 READuserbase - GoldED sometimes tried to enter an AREASEP area immediately after startup. Fixed. ! GoldED will no longer add an AREA-Kludge in crossposted mails. + Updated some menus based on ideas posted in GOLDED.BETA echo. - Fixed a bug in the Internet address parsing routines that may caused crashes. - the @tmpfile had wrong file modes under GoldED/Lnx. Fixed. - Previously, it was impossible to save a mail to a file in the GoldED/Lnx version. Fixed. + It's now possible to use XLATEXPORT ASCII in Email/News areas. GoldED will now create appropiate headerlines. + Added a very rough mime header encoding routine. - If GoldED were run in unregistered mode, the statusbar product identifier did contain one space too much under some circumstances. Cosmetical bug, which is now fixed. + Added a new golded.cfg configuration keyword: AREAYOUWROTETO GoldED will automatically copy mails written by you to the specified area during saving the mail. GoldED will also add an AREA-Kludge so you can see from where the mail originally is copied from. + Added a new golded.cfg configuration keyword: ADDRESSBOOKADD Setting it to ALWAYS means that GoldED will always add unknown users to the addressbook. If you set the value to YES, GoldED will add them only if it's a netmail/email. ADDRESSBOOKADD NO will never automatically add a user. ! Temporarily disabled the Zon-Attribute adding in the JAM-Messagebase routines. Please report if there are now problems. - Hopefully fixed a keyboard code bug that caused detecting a "Esc" keypress instead of the i.e. cursor keys. If GoldED will detect an Esc now, it waits up to half an second if there is in fact a different key pressed or not. - Fixed a bug that caused GoldED to hang/crash when a mail with "?=?" in the subject line is read. - Fixed a bug that caused absolute paths to appear where only filenames where requested in the GoldED/Lnx Version. (i.e. the @file-token in connection with IMPORTBEGIN). - Fixed a small bug in search-routines that may cause crashes. + Added optional switch /G to AREAFILE Squish. You can now define a default group for areas that are imported from squish.cfg by configuring AREAFILE Squish c:\squish\ /g=G AREAFILE Squish c:\squish2\ /g=#103 - Fixed a Test Error Exit at [geedit.cpp, 112] if the quote string got longer than (EDIT)QUOTEMARGIN. + The READchangetemplate menu will now also display the matching aka for every template file if defined. - If one or more AREASEP's but no mail areas where defined, GoldED hung in an infinite loop after startup. Fixed. - Fixed a crash if msgbase rescanning was performed while selecting a destination area for copy/move/forward. - Fixed Zap Area / Heat Area functionality. ! The arealister will now automatically go one line down after pressing AREAtoggle. + Advanced the AREAcatchup feature. It'll now display a menu where you select whether to catch-up all areas, all marked areas or only the current area (default). + Added EDITtabreverse, default to #Tab. It's simply the opposite to EDITtab. + Added AREAdropmsgmarks, default to ^M. [description not complete] - If the contents of SEMAPHORE EXPORTLIST changed while GoldED was running, mail could have been left unscanned in the msgbase. Fixed. GoldED will now also try infinite if it can't update one of the below mentioned files because of a sharing violation. This is more secure than before. If you had problems with unscanned mails in the msgbase with older versions, then please try this version and report if it works. It should. ;-) ! GoldED will now only update NET/ECHOMAIL.JAM, GOLDQWK.LST, GOLDSOUP.LST or SEMAPHORE EXPORTLIST file if it's really necessary. This is actually a bugfix in connection with AREAFILE IMail, but also may speed up scanning with other tossers. + Added sound event EDITCOMPLETION, which happens after a completion was done in the internal editor. ! Since it seems that increasing the thread priority for the Win32 version is a mixed blessing, the default is now to NOT increase the priority. Added new commandline option -P to increase the priority (Win32 only). - Fixed keyboard bug in the Win32 version running under NT, where Ctrl-Enter did not work. ! For the SOUP feature, the filenames (AREAS, *.MSG etc.) are now again uppercase, since it seems that certain programs such as UQWK rely on that. - Fixed "Generate Userlist" feature. - Fixed a Test Error Exit when crossposting from and into AREAREPLYDIRECT YES areas. + Added two new functions to the READthreadtree feature, currently hardcoded on ^PgUp/^PgDown and /. They jump to the prev/next new thread. Please make suggestions what you would also like to have in the READthreadtree feature. - Under some rare circumstances, GoldED inserted a space between "---" and the tearline text. Fixed. - When exporting a message from EMail/News areas, the exported header wasn't correct. Fixed. - If GoldED searched for a string and found one exact matching line, it didn't detect it as matching. Fixed. - Fixed several small problems in the filerequest filename detection routine. - When using EDITSPELLCHECK, GoldED reset the cursor position to 1,1 after re-importing the file into the internal editor. Fixed. - When forwarding a msg with tagline to an area with disabled TAGLINESUPPORT, GoldED inserted a random tagline. Fixed. - Fixed some minor problems in the arealist screen. + Added rough Clipboard support in W32 and OS/2-versions. I'm sorry, but "pasting" from Clipboard is currently not possible in OS/2 version. + Added support for 80x28 mode in DOS versions. It's enabled by setting SCREENSIZE 28 in GOLDED.CFG - Fixed two minor problems with INVALIDATE. - Fixed two minor Squish msgbase problems. - GoldED sometimes always showed Snt attribute in local hudsonbase areas. Fixed. ! GedLnx: AREAFILE filenames should be now all in lowercase. - Fixed a bug in GoldNODE if german POINTS24 format was used. - Fixed a bug if STYLECODES NO was set and ToggleStyles was used. - Fixed display of multiple Replies selection menu in Internet style areas. + It's now possible to use DOS/4DOS style wildcards for crossposts, i.e. "XC: GOLDED*". - GoldED showed the Internet-address of self-written mails in the message lister if MSGLISTFAST YES was set in internet areas. This is now fixed for new written mails. - Previously, GoldED Mime-Header-translated the real name in the mail header, but the template @ofrom token contained the non-translated variant. Fixed. ! Mime-Header decoding will now also be done in the Replies window, in the messagelist and in the threadlist. ! SOUPEXPORTMARGIN will now also be used int the internal editor in Internet-areas. This has been added for more WYSIWYG in the editor. Note that is still recommended to set EDITHARDTERM NO if Soup-Exporting is done via GoldED. If you use a third party software for that job, you should set EDITHARDTERM YES for those areas. ! AREACOPYADDID YES: GoldED will now insert an ^aAREA Kludge instead of the old AREA: - so called "kludge". In addition it won't insert a kludge if the destination is a netmail area. This is because of some problems with mails containing an "AREA:" line. - When Deleting marked messages that had DEL and Loc/Uns attributes set, GoldED asked for confirmation. Fixed. - Fixed two bugs in AREALISTSORT in connection with the AREASEP feature. Now sortspecs like "GE" or "GTE" should work as expected. Note: If "T" is one of the primary sortings (i.e. prior to "G"), AREASEP X "desc" 0 Net means that this Area-Separator is sorted in front of the first Netmail area, regardless which group it has. Otherwise, if "G" is one of the primary sortings (prior to "T"), AREASEP Y "desc 2" 0 Echo means that this Area-Separator is sorted in front of the first area without group (Groupid = '0'). If "T" is one of the secondary sorting types, the Area-Separator is sorted in front of the first area with group = 0 and Type = Echo. If there's an area with group=0 and type=Net, the Area-Separator is sorted below that area, i.e.: AREADEF NETMAIL "..." 0 Net [...] AREASEP Y "..." 0 Echo AREADEF ECHO1 "..." 0 Echo [...] + Added AREAselectmarks. Default is ALT-R. [description not complete] - AREACOPYADDID YES/NO didn't work if globally defined. - Fixed a crash if -INSTALL was used and no AREAFILE was detected. + MAPPATH can now remap up to 127 chars long paths. - Hopefully fixed NODELISTWARN YES bug. + Added functions for deletion of left/right words in the header edit. You can use them by pressing ^Backspace and ^T. - GEDLNX -? didn't work. Fixed. - Fixed some problems with the new format of GOLDLAST.LST. - GoldED did not always show the size of attached files correctly if MAPPATH was used. Fixed. - If AREAPMSCAN * wasn't in golded.cfg, ALT-P, A in the arealist-screen didn't work. Fixed. ! The READtogglestyles-menu has been removed and replaced by a variant similar to the Toggle Twits dialog. ! Changed the handling of the Toggle Twits dialog. You can now browse through it by pressing READtoggletwits several times. Previously, after you accidently came over "Kill Twit msgs", they were killed. You can now select a mode by waiting around 3 seconds of by pressing Enter. - The strings for "Twit displayed " and "Twit killed" in the Toggle Twits dialog were swapped. Fixed. - The arrived/received date wasn't updated during saving the mail. Fixed. + EDITSOFTCRXLAT-translation is now also done in the header. - Fixed some problems in Stylecodes-detection. - There were several problems in the updated fast-filerequest feature of Beta3. They're now fixed. Note if you still have problems or if GoldED doesn't detect something/detects something wrong, please report it! - If you were in the "attach files" dialog and tried to toggle a header message attribute, the screen was garbled. Fixed it by disabling editing the attributes while you're in this dialog. Note that it still works during editing the header, so there should be no problem. + Added a new menu to the Import File - dialog in the internal editor. You can now import binary files as base64 encodings. It's now also possible to select the charset the imported file has. (i.e. if you import a text that was written in a Windows-application or under Linux, you should select "LATIN1 -> IBMPC" translation). + GoldED will now write messages to the file "golded.txt" if you entered in fact a directory. - Fixed NetName-detection in origin if a message was changed. - If you changed the attributes of a message, the MSGID was changed. Fixed. - If you used a random origin/tearline/tagline, it wasn't expanded under every circumstance. Fixed. - Fixed unfreed allocation at [gecmfd.cpp,304]. - Fixed unfreed allocation at [gerand.cpp,163]. - If you were in FromNode/DestNode Lookup (F10/#F10) and pressed ^Q, Golded didn't quit. Fixed. ! READthreadtree has now keyboard default '#', to be compatible to the german point program "Crosspoint". - GoldED didn't detect changes to GOLDED.KEY. Fixed. + Added global switch AREACATCHUPREAD . Default is YES. If set to NO, GoldED won't reset new messages to read if HIGHLIGHTUNREAD YES is used and AREAcatchup is executed. - Fixed wrong paths in NET/ECHOMAIL.JAM in Linux-version. - Fixed GoldNODE-Index lookup in Linux-version. - Fixed Logfile-Dump of Linux-version. Previously, GoldED just wrote "Linux 0.00 reports error 0: no error" ;-) - Fixed a bug in the " Exit Area? " menu. - GoldED set the ReCeiVed attribute on messages with empty to:-lines if INTERNETADDRESS wasn't set. ! Replaced the stylecodes - menu by a variant similiar to the ToggleTwitsettings menu as requested by some users. + Added the following help categories to GOLDHELP.CFG: 1010 menu READchangexlatimport 2007 menu AREAdropmsgmarks 2008 menu AREAcatchup 3015 menu READgotouplink 3016 READreplythread lister 5003 menu when importing files in the internal editor 6000 addressbook users lister 6001 menu when editing an addressbook user - The LOOKUPNET NO fix was broken. Fixed. - Fixed several small bugs in the UUCP-mails handling that were introduced in Beta3 and before. ! Changed the STYLECODES YES code to be less restrictive. If it fails, please report the error. - If INTENSECOLORS NO was set, GoldED didn't toggle on the blinking attribute. Fixed. ! It's now again possible to forward messages from areas that were defined with AREAREPLYDIRECT YES. - Fixed a GoldED-SOS-Dump when using AREAcatchup with a Hudsonbase area that contained only one (new) message. - Fixed crashes and faulty display in the arealist screen. ! Removed the following GOLDLANG.CFG keywords, as they are no longer used: ST_MARKINGCHAIN WL_MOVEFILEBAR WL_TOGGLEFILE WL_ACCEPTFILES WL_SELECTALLFILES WL_ABORTFILES MS_FROMTWIT MI_DISKFILENOHDR MI_PRINTERNOHDR + Added the following GOLDLANG.CFG keywords with the given defaults: MI_GOTONEXTNEW "U Yes, Next Unread Area. " WT_FORWARD " Use FWD kludges? " MI_FORWARDYES "Y Yes Please. " MI_FORWARDNO "N No! " IL_WARNLOCKED " WARNING! This message is LOcKed! " IL_NOTHREADLIST " Sorry, no thread available.

The 16-bit DOS version was too large to compile, so to be able to continue to release it at all, I had to remove some of the least used msgbase formats. This means that the 16-bit DOS version no longer has support for Ezycom, PCBoard, WildCat! and Goldbase. If you need these msgbase formats, please use the 32-bit DOS version or another platform. Even with these msgbase formats removed, the 16-bit DOS version still doesn't have much free memory to work with, and you will probably experience "out of memory" often. You should seriously consider switching to one of the 32-bit versions instead. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta3a, March 21 1998 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed crash when trying to decode malformed RFC2047 encoded words. - Under some circumstances, FTN addresses could appear in the header display when in an area marked as email or news. This would happen in cases where there was no To: or From: header. Cosmetic. - When entering a msg in echomail or local areas, a date was shown in the to-line in the header editor. Cosmetic. - Fixed a crash in the arealist when there were not enough areas to fill the window. - Fixed AREAFILE Squish, which did not find Squish areas if there was no "-$" on its own in NETAREA/ECHOAREA lines. - Through a horrifying mistake, the AdeptXBBS msgbase code was in fact never included in Beta1, 2 and 3. Fixed. SORRY!!!!!!!!! ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta3, March 17 1998 ______________________________________________________________________ ! The 16-bit DOS version is now compiled in the "huge" memory model. This was necessary to be able to compile it at all. Unfortunately this decreases performance and bloats the EXE, and you still need quite a lot of free DOS memory to run it for any length of time. You should be prepared that this is probably near the end of the line for the 16-bit DOS versions :-( - Fixed a bug that caused problems if you were overriding an area with one echoid with another with the same echoid, but a different msgbase type. + Added commandline option -exportsoup. If used, GoldED exports mail/news to SOUP at startup. If both -exportsoup and -importsoup is used, import is performed first, then export. + Added commandline option -noscan. If used, the startup scan (if any) is skipped. This is useful for automated SOUP import/export in a batch file. For example "-noscan -importsoup @x y" imports SOUP then exits. - Fixed a bug in the JAM-routines that garbled messages if they were copied from and to JAM-areas. Some kludges (like REPLYTO, REPLYADDR and many others) were removed from the subfields. This caused problems with third-party utils that accessed the copied mails. - DateReceived will now be set to the current local time when a self-written mail is saved the first time. If the msgbase doesn't support DateReceived, DateProcessed will be set instead. This prevents some problems with stupid msgbase-maintenance utils. - If a mail was copied from an non-squish-area to a squish-area, it was scanned out again as a duplicate message. Fixed. - Fixed "Snd"-Attribute - detection in Hudson/Goldbase areas. If a mail was copied from an Hudson/Goldbase area to another, it was scanned out again as a dupe message. Fixed. - FRQWAZOO YES has been updated to handle the "dir" attribute correctly. - If LOOKUPNET NO was used, it had been impossible to enter a destination address in netmail areas. Fixed. + Added AREAFILE Partoss . Note that "filespec" must be the full path to and including "partoss.cfg", because AREAFILE ParToss currently calls the same config reader as AREAFILE Squish. + AREAFILE Squish has been updated to interpret the following flags in area definitions: -$gX Set group of area to 'X'. 'X' may be 'A'..'Z'. -$n Set desc of area to 'desc'. 'desc' must be enclosed by '"'s if it contains spaces. ParToss, a Squish-clone written by Serge V. Koghin (2:5030/177), can handle and inserts these flags. ! AREAFILE Squish can now also handle the case when points to a file, not to a directory, i.e. AREAFILE Squish d:\path\mysquish.cfg The previously used syntax: AREAFILE Squish d:\path -c=mysquish.cfg has been removed. - Fixed shelling in the Linux version. - Fixed printing in the Linux version. - Fixed the disappearing cursor in the Linux version. - Fixed faulty right borders in the Linux version. - Fixed Tab key in the Linux version. - Fixed mangling of highbit characters in the Linux version after an overlaying window was closed. - Fixed a quoting bug that caused quoted text to disappear. This happened if there was a long kludge just before the normal line to be quoted. + Improved speed of the Win32 version by increasing the thread priority for the program. + AREAFILE IMail is now ready for v1.87. NOTE: This version of IMail was not yet available at the time of writing. - Fixed some problems with Path-Mapping. It's now possible to use AREAFILE IMail in connection with MAPPATH (didn't work before). ! Keyword MAPDRIVE has been replaced by MAPPATH. The old keyword MAPDRIVE is now obsolete, please remove it from your config! The new syntax is: MAPPATH . e.g. MAPPATH C: J: ; compatible to MAPDRIVE MAPPATH C:\ /mnt/dos/c/ ; For GoldED/LNX AREAFILE's. - Fixed INVALIDATE handling. - Fixed ADDRESSMACRO in connection with EMail-areas. It is now possible to use the following: ADDRESSMACRO dam,dirk.mueller@rhein-neckar.de (Dirk A. Mueller),, - Fixed a small bug during header-edit if an EMail was written in a netmail area. Note that is currently impossible to reply a gated-EMail into an EMail-area. This will be done in a future release. - Fixed a bug if a gated EMail was PGP-encrypted. Previously, the To:-Line was also encrypted and was missing afterwards. This is now fixed. Note that is defined behaviour that the To:-line is inserted during _saving_ the mail, not before editing the text, as before. If you need to change the destination address, you can do it in the header-edit. - GoldED hung the computer if "Toggle all marks" was used and around the half of all msgs were marked. Fixed. + GoldED will now store the message-marks (and Personal Mails) between sessions. ! Changed the format of GOLDLAST.LST. You _/should/_ delete GOLDLAST.* in your GoldED-directory (if AREAKEEPLAST YES) before starting this new version. + GoldED's statusline-clock won't stop any longer if a popup-warning is on the screen. - During header-edit, GoldED inserted it's PID in every message. Fixed. ! SQUISHDIRECT YES will now strip Cra+Hld attribute during header display. This may be confusing to you at first, but it is much more intentional. - Fixed several "incarnations" of the charset-translation bug. GoldED did not always translate correctly during crossposting, editing header attributes and exporting to the quotebuffer. - Fixed a bug with "AREA:"-Kludge in netmail-areas. - It was impossible to write a mail with "@position" in the mailtext. Fixed. - Fixed another charset-translation bug if READchangeattrs was used. - Fixed "unfreed allocation" at geread.cpp. This caused crashes if READgotonextunread/READgotoprevunread was used multiple times. ! If READnewarea is pressed in the message-list, the lastread-pointer is no longer updated. This is much more intentional. - It is now possible to use the following Keyboard assignments: Esc LISTmacro LISTselect READnewarea Esc READmessagelist If enabled, you can go to the message-lister by pressing ESC and can jump from the messagelister directly to the arealist-screen by pressing ESC _again_. ! Screen output is now much faster in W32-versions. In addition, the new code is smaller than the old one. - If READgotonextarea or READgotoprevarea was used, GoldED sometimes assumed wrong options. Fixed. + GoldED won't ask for "Zonegating yes/no?" any longer if Cra or Hld attribute is set. + Added a new menu option in the "Newarea"-Menu. Now you can go to the arealist-screen by pressing or , or immediately jump to the next area with new mail by pressing . + Added support for the ^AENCLFILE kludge. This is only used in JAM-Areas. However GoldED doesn't add it in new mails. + Improved the Filerequest-Feature. It should be now much more reliable and it should also display the filesize of the requestable files, if given in the announcement. Please tell me if GoldED detects something wrong. + Added error-messages if there was an error during Shelling out. + Added a warning if a commandline > 125 chars is used for Externutils in the GoldED- and GoldED/386 version. - If no area was marked in the arealist-screen, and the cursor was just above a separator, AREAjump jumped on the separator. Fixed. + Added READthreadtree. There is currently no default key assignment for it, please make suggestions. This feature is not yet finished, please tell me if you have any ideas to improve it. + Added a menu READtogglestyles. Default assignement: CTRL-H. Toggles stylecodes-options. The default is "Stripping", if STYLECODES YES is used. - "USERNAME Odinn Sorensen, 2:236/77" caused GoldED to crash if no other ADDRESS/AKA was given. Fixed. - Fixed SYS3175 if undefined AKA was used in AREA or AREADEF. - SQUISHSCAN API didn't work. Fixed. Note if you experience wrong values in the arealist-screen after area-scanning, you should use this switch. If SQUISHSCAN QUICK works under you setup, then use it, as it is faster. ! The memory debugging code has been re-activated. It'll work also in the Linux version now. PLEASE NOTE: The debug code caused the EXE to grow about 100k larger and you should expect some performance decrease. - OS/2: After shelling out, CTRL-S didn't work any longer. Fixed. - W32: After shelling out, keyboard input was echoed to screen under some circumstances. Fixed. ! The following obsolete keywords have been removed. Please replace them with the newer, valid variant if you still have them in your config: old new BOARDNOS AREALISTNOS CHANGEPROMPT DOSPROMPT CLEARKEYS KEYBCLEAR DELORIG ASKDELORIG DISPSTYLECODES STYLECODES ELIMSNOW SCREENELIMSNOW EXTKEYS KEYBEXT HWMARKS FIDOHWMARKS LISTWRAP DISPLISTWRAP LOCALHIGHLIGHT DISPLOCALHIGH LOCALNOISE BEEPLOCALMSG MATCHAKA AKAMATCHNET NEXTAREA AREAAUTONEXT NEXTMSGS DISPAUTONEXT PAGEBAR DISPPAGEBAR REALMSGNO DISPREALMSGNO SAYBIBI BEEPNOISES SHADOWS SCREENSHADOWS SPACEQUOTES QUOTESPACING USEBIOS SCREENUSEBIOS + GOLDED.CFG: Literal strings can now also contain string delimiters. That means you can declare something like: AREADEF GOLDED "About the message reader \"GoldED\" and tools" [...] This will be now parsed correctly everywhere. - If a mail with "MSGID 1:234/567@OS/2-Net" was read by GoldED, it showed "1:234/2" in the header and not, as it should be, "1:234/567". Fixed. However, note that only alphanumeric chars are allowed inside domains! ! GoldED will now also look for "NODEX.SDX" if using the V7-index. This has been added for greater compatibility with Fastlst 2.xx. + Added SEMAPHORE EXITNOW . GoldED will exit immediately if this semaphore file is found and it is idle in the arealist screen. - Previously, it was impossible to overlay a key with an default assignment with a user-macro. This is fixed now, so there should be no need for KEYBDEFAULTS NO any longer! - Fixed a reflow-bug in the internal editor; if a line with maximum length was reflowed, GoldED did delete the last character. - Fixed some small problems with SOUP signatures. + Added a warning if you want to delete a message with LOK attribute set. - Fixed "Mark thread" function. It will mark now all mails of the current thread, not just a chain as before. However, the implementation is yet quick'n'dirty. - Fixed "Nodelist out of date" warning if the browser was first accessed. - Fixed several "wrong aka/akamatching" problems. ! GoldED will now automatically save the arealist data to GOLDLAST.LST after a semaphore-rescan has been performed. This is much more save and useful. - Fixed a reflow-bug in connection with mails from "Crosspoint" users. ! GoldED will no longer strip leading spaces from quotes. Before, GoldED reformatted XX> y = x^2 XX> lim x -> oo to this: XX>> y = x^2 XX>> lim x -> oo Now, it will reformat it to the following: XX>> y = x^2 XX>> lim x -> oo Please report if this is ok or if there are any new problems / problems left. + Added "path report" feature. New Keyboard command READmakepathreport, defaults to Ctrl-K. The output file can be processed by a new "RDDT" (Route Diagram Drawing Tool) utility, which will be available separately. [documentation not complete]. - MAPDRIVE will be now also used when writing ECHOMAIL.JAM / NETMAIL.JAM. This allows you again to use these files if you need MAPDRIVE for reading the AREAFILEs correctly. ! All global on/off switches in the GOLDED.CFG will now be parsed by a general cfg reader class. There should be _no_ difference for you as a user. The current implementation is just smaller and somehow faster. It is the first step to a better config reader. + AREAcatchup (ALT-C in the arealist-screen) will now also set all messages to "read" if HIGHLIGHTUNREAD is enabled. Note that GoldED won't reset the complete msgbase but only those messages after the lastread-pointer, just for speed reasons. + Added COLOR READER QUOTE2. The default is White on black. GoldED shows now quotes with different "quote-levels" in different colors. To disable this feature, set COLOR READER QUOTE2 to the same value as COLOR READER QUOTE. + Added support for SOUP-signatures. GoldED will now detect if a template contains a signature and will handle it correctly. - Fixed Shift-F10 in the header-edit. - If TWITMODE KILL was set, GoldED didn't allow to toggle the twitmode in the reader. Fixed. + Added the goldlang.cfg keyword "IL_TWITKILLED". The default is " Twit Msgs Killed ". - When forwarding a message, GoldED sometimes used a "random" template. Fixed. - When forwarding a message and changing the Subject line, GoldED replaced the template token "@subject" by the new subject instead of the old one. Fixed. + It is now possible to use "replacement" tokens inside "command tokens" in templates. Example: @forward@forcesubj[FWD] @subject If you forward a message, GoldED will now automatically insert "[FWD] " in front of the old subject line. ! New entered mails are now always considered as read. ! The "generate userlist" functionality has been changed based on ideas of Thomas Keusch (Thank you!!). GoldED will now use the aka of the latest message of each user in the area (Think of situations where the aka of a user has changed) and it will be now case-sensitive ("MICHAEL MUELLER" and "Michael Mueller" are now two different users). As a side-effect, this routine is now MUCH faster. :-) ! GoldED won't import SOUP messages if they are from INTERNETADDRESS any longer. This is a workaround for the problem that SOUPER re-gets news that are written by the user and therefore all self-written news are stored twice in the messagebase. ! GoldED will now update the "DateProcessed" timestamp in JAM-soup email/news when exporting mails. - GoldED will now use MAPDRIVE when displaying mails with files attached to it. + GoldED can use now a file as a list for crossposting. This was considered as a bug, because this is already documented (?), but it was in fact never implemented. ;-) The stuff has now been added. ! GoldED will now insert an AREA-kludge in crossposts _if_ AREACOPYADDID is enabled in the individual destination area. A "Youwrote" - function will be added in a later release. ! GoldED will now show the INTERNETADDRESS in the header if the area is a SOUP area instead of the current aka. This is only cosmetical and has no effect. ;-) - Fixed a crash if subject-line is longer than 500 chars. This can only happen in internet-areas, and has in fact happened with a subject line of 900 chars. ;-) + Improved the keyboard code in the Win32 version to give much better speed and to work better under both Win95 and NT. + Added support for the new version 4 keysystem. A version 4 key is a file named GOLDED.KEY, which must be in the same directory as GOLDED.CFG. The first line of a version 4 key file contains an identifier and the name of the registered user. This name must be in your list of USERNAME's or REGISTERNAME. - GoldED wasn't able to update the timesread-field in *.MSG areas if the Lok-attribute was set. In this case it displayed " is locked. Wait..." forever. Fixed. - The destination-lookup invoked in the header by pressing Shift-F10 didn't work. It didn't take over the selected aka. Fixed. Note that GoldED won`t open the browser window if there's only one entry matching the current to-name. - If the user has entered a fuzzy search string in the arealist-screen and invoked "Zap/Heat areas", GoldED started to behave strangely and maybe stop working completely. Fixed. - If SEMAPHORE IDLETIME was used, GoldED didn't start the screenblanker in the arealist-screen any longer. Now, both the screenblanker and the scanning-semaphores will work again together. - GoldED did export SOUP-messages even if they have had a DEL-(JAM) or Lok-flag. Fixed. - Fixed a bug that caused V7-NODEFLAGS to be wrong. + Added COLOR READER SIGNATURE. This color is used for the internet-style signatures. The default is DGrey on Black. - Fixed all (?) "skipping separator" - problems in the arealist. - Fixed crash at startup if SEMAPHORE IDLETIME was used. - Fixed the "stuck template" problem. - Fixed sort order AREALISTSORT GO, when arealist separators (such as AREASEP !A "A" A Local) where defined as Local, causing them to be sorted after the areas in their group. - Fixed AREAFILE AdeptXBBS for the "no areas" bug and added support for AdeptXBBS areas in Squish, Fido and JAM formats. OS/2 only. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta2 ______________________________________________________________________ - Fixed several bugs in connection with FIDOUSERLIST that may cause crashes or strange behaviour. - Fixed ADDRESSMACROs so that they work in EMail-areas again. - Fixed crash when SoupExporting and XLATEXPORT was not set to MNEMONIC, LATIN1QP or LATIN1. - Fixed probably most of the AREASEP-sorting problems. If there are still any left, please report them. - Fixed broken "End/Home" in the arealist-screen if first/last area was a AREASEP-line. Note that the wraparound-bug (no wraparound possible if first/last area is AREASEP, although DISPWRAPAROUND is enabled) is not yet fixed. + During editing in the header, it is now possible to do a NL-lookup by pressing SHIFT-F10. In addition, the To-Name/Addr-fields will be updated if the user selected a different destination in the browser. - GoldED didn't translate MIME-codes in the header in fido (gated newsgroups) echos. Fixed. Now, if MSGLISTFAST NO is set, GoldED will also translate the mime-headers while viewing them in the messagelister. - Fixed the multiple " UNREG" in tearline problem. + Added support for the "X-Mailing-List:" - RFC headerline. The MAILINGLIST keyword will recognize it. + GoldNODE can now handle up to 30 nodelists. The previous limit was 20, otherwise it crashed. GoldNODE will now print an error message. + GoldNODE can now read the german POINTS24-format directly! You can now remove your 3d -> 4d converter. - Fixed some GoldNODE problems. - GoldED will now also know lines beginning with "Resent-" as valid kludge lines (SOUP). - "RFC: x lines" wasn't detected as a known kludge. Fixed. - Fixed "cannot decode" if UUDECODEPATH wasn't set. ! GoldED will no longer use the Autoattach-Feature if "a:" or "b:" is at the beginning of the subject line. - Fixed bug that NODEV7MODEM b0 was not displayed even if correctly configured. + Added support for V7+. It's automatically used if your NODEPATHV7 is set correctly. If GoldED shows "xxxx / NODEX.DTP" at the bottom of the browser window, the displayed information is taken from the raw nodelist entry. - V7 / FD / FU - Nodelist-access will now also work under GoldED/LNX. + Added new "catch up" command in the arealist. Key command AREAcatchup, default assignment Alt-C. The effect of this command is to point the lastread pointer to the last message in the current area. - Fixed some more bugs in the filerequest function. + Added new keyword ATTACHPATH . It sets the default path for fileattaches. - Fixed some bugs in filerequest function if many files were requested and/or FRQOPTIONS NOWAZOOMSG wasn't used (FRQWAZOO YES). + Added new functionality to "Select Reply" window. Now unread replies are marked and the cursorbar is positioned on the first unread reply by default. ! Previously it wasn't possible to use '^h EDITmacro "^h"' because of a bug in the internal editor. This is now fixed. - Fixed bug in the RFC822 Date: header parser, which caused a hang if the header was not 100% correct. Changed the implementation to a robust one and also changed the *.MSG date parser to a robust one, just in case. - Added GID as a known kludge. - Fixed PCBoard crossposting bug that caused empty messages to be crossposted. - The origins from AREAFILE's were ignored. - The AREAFILE Maximus reader was not working for Maximus 2.xx. Not tested. - Fixed a bug that caused strange problems if GOLDED.CFG contained tabs instead of spaces. - Fixed bug in the personal mail feature. If there were multiple areas with personal mails, GoldED didn't always start with the first unread personal mail but somewhere in between. - Fixed "Message is already sent" problems in *.MSG-areas (type=echo). - Fixed "fuzzy search" bug in the arealist-browser. - Fixed "wrong row in statusline" while editing in the internal editor. - Fixed editor range check warning if browsing over the end-of-file marker. - Fixed garbage at the right corner in the internal editor if DISPMARGIN < 80. - Fixed garbage on screen if DISPMARGIN is bigger than allowed. ! The default wildcard for the filebrowser was "*.*". Changed to "*", as it should be. - AREACOPYADDID was only active if enabled in the -area. Now it is active for the area the mail is copied TO, as it should be. In addition it does no longer inserts an AREA-kludge if the destination area is a netmail-area. - Fixed wrong color "painting" in the fileattach-menu after pressing Ctrl-Enter. - Fixed faulty extended keyboard detection in the DOS-versions. - Fixed wrong version in the PID. ______________________________________________________________________ Notes for Beta1 ______________________________________________________________________ + Implemented a different memory debugging feature to GoldED/2. The feature is enabled with the commandline option -X. When enabled, GoldED switches to allocating memory directly with DosAllocMem and places the data so that overruns (access beyond the end of allocated memory) will cause an immediate SYS3175. If you suspect a bug, please try running GoldED with this feature enabled for a while. NOTE: When this feature is enabled, GoldED uses a lot more memory (for example 8192 bytes per line in a msg), so be sure to have plently of swapspace. - GoldED/2 crashed when trying to file attach with wildcards. - When move-replying a msg from an "AREAREPLYDIRECT YES" area to another area, and the msg didn't contain an AREA: kludge, GoldED crashed. If it *did* contain an AREA: kludge, the @oecho and @odesc template tokens were not correct. - If a very long WT_NEWAREA language text was used and a long fuzzy string was entered (such as pressing 'A' continuously), the screen was garbled and GoldED crashed in some cases. - You could not enter the '^' character in the normal manner in the Win32 version. + The Win32 version now sets the window titlebar text. Also added a bit more orderly shutdown when ctrl-break is pressed. - Fixed bug in the internal editor. When backspacing from column one, the Linux version crashed. - The Linux version did not react properly to Ctrl-Q and Ctrl-S keys. + Optimized screen access for the Linux version a bit more, and added support for alternate charset, so that border lines etc. are drawn using highbit characters, not ugly ascii. NOTE: If you see a lot of strange characters instead of nice lines, you are most likely using setfont or something else that destroys the screen mapping that allows alternate charsets to work. GoldED uses basically the same method for switching charsets as ncurses and slang, so you would have the same problems with programs built with those libraries. + In the arealist, GoldED now automatically skips past area separator lines when moving over them. + GoldED now decodes MIME (RFC2047) encoded headers (you know, the ugly =?ISO-8859-1?Q?bl=ABla?= things). Note: The charset is currently ignored. This is okay for most msgs. Will be done properly in a later version. Encoding is not supported. - Fixed MIME quoted-printable support for SOUP export. During export, the header lines were also quoted-printable encoded. - When using ALT-Z (EDITzapquotesbelow) and there were only quotes below the cursor until the end of the mail (nothing else), GoldED hung or crashed. - After using ALT-Z (EDITzapquotesbelow) and there was no "normal" selfwritten line between the cursor-position and the end of the mail but only a origin/tearline/tagline-line, GoldED displayed these lines in the wrong color. - GoldED will no longer crash when importing a 1-byte SOUP message to a JAM area. - When exporting news from a Squish area, GoldED forgot to set the Scn attribute, so the articles afterwards appeared with the attributes "Snt Uns Loc". ! The FRQOPTION USEFLOFILE option is now permanently on. You can remove that option from your configuration, if you have it. + Changed the MAILINGLIST feature so that it also looks at the From: line instead of just the Sender: line. + GoldED now knows about the Squish "Lok" attribute with attribute value 0x40000000. - When changing attributes on a msg in an area like the BAD_MSGS area, the AREA: line was moved to a position where the mail processor couldn't find it. + In areas marked as e-mail or newsgroups, GoldED now allows full editing of both name and internet address when in the header editor. + Instead of AREAFILE TMail, you can now use AREAFILE Termail. It calls the same config reader. - Fixed CARBONCOPYLIST NAMES when using a large amount of CC's (i.e. taken from a file). GoldED created netmails for all cc-members, but only inserted the first line of "CC: , , , "-text and forgot the others. - Cutting out a large block in the internal editor caused a range check error message. - GoldED crashed when copying, moving or forwarding to the same area. - Fixed crash if the description column "D" was not defined in AREALISTFORMAT. + New feature: GoldED can now jump to the next or previous unread msg (unread being defined as having timesread = 0). Added the new key commands READgotonextunread and READgotoprevunread for this feature. The default key assignements are: @U READgotonextunread ; Like in Yuppie @Left READgotoprevunread @Right READgotonextunread This feature is very useful when using the reply-linking to read a complete thread and afterwards switch to the next unread mail automatically. + Added new keyword: SOUPEXPORTMARGIN . Defaults to 76. This is the margin that GoldED will hard-wrap to when exporting to SOUP packets. If you're getting complaints that your lines are too long, you may want to set this to 70 or 60. NOTE: You should NOT enable EDITHARDTERM in email and newsgroups that are exported to SOUP. If you do, your messages will probably be exported with short line "droppings" after the wrapping margin. - The various semaphore files are now deleted *after* performing the desired action instead of before. - MAILINGLIST areas were not automatically changed to type "EMail". + GoldED now also highlight the to-field if it contains the INTERNETADDRESS. + Added an end-of-message indicator line in the internal editor. It's a line from left to right and has COLOR READER BORDER. - GoldED didn't write the correct entry in the .REQ file, when writing the following in the subj-line of a wazoo-filerequest: GEOA1026.ZIP $365000 The $-stuff is now saved on the same line as the filename, similiar to the password - '!' functionality. - If there were a ^B (0x02) character somewhere in the message, GoldED also deleted the succeeding character when saving the mail. - The current LOADLANGUAGE (global or in a group) is now reloaded after posting a message. This prevents "stuck" language. - Fixed template-matching bug. It could cause a template to be falsely matched when entering a new message or a comment-reply in an echomail or local area. + Default colors have now been assigned to the stylecode highlighting: COLOR STYLECODE ALL White on Black Remember to enable the DISPSTYLECODES keyword if you want to see any effect of this. - If you used CTRL-N/CTRL-P while reading messages to go directly to the next area and there was a AREASEP-definition in between, GoldED crashed. - In quoted-printable encoded messages, if there was an encoded TAB character, it was decoded wrongly and the next character was lost. - When doing large amount of copying/moving that takes a while, GoldED immediately switched the screensaver on after finishing the job. Fixed. + When using "ORIGIN @path\filename.lst", GoldED now shows a pretty [filename.lst] in the origin selection menu instead of the whole ugly thing. This will also be done for the other menus later. - Fixed a bug that caused a certain form of dates in internet msgs to be stored incorrectly during SOUP import. - Fixed wrong file permissions in the Linux version. - Fixed various bugs that caused core dumps in the Linux version. - Removed a 500 files limit in the internal editor file selector. + Updated AREAFILE TMail support to Terminate 4.00 level (should also work for 5.00). Not tested much. + Added support for numeric Re's ("Re^n:") in the subject when replying. This is controlled with the EDITREPLYRE keyword, which you can now set to "NUMERIC" to enable the feature. Stripping of numeric Re's is also supported, when EDITREPLYRE is set to NO (the default). Example: (with EDITREPLYRE NUMERIC) Subj: Hello. Subj: Re: Hello. Subj: Re^2: Hello. Subj: Re^3: Hello. etc. + Enabled EDITREPLYRE to work in groups as well as globally. Not tested. - In newsgroups and e-mail areas, GoldED now *forces* the use of "Re:" in reply subjects, regardless of the EDITREPLYRE setting. The reason why it is forced in these areas, is because that is the standard for internet mail/news. ! The default logfile name is now GOLDED.LOG for all platforms. - Fixed the zero-bytes SOUP replies file. This happened when your email/news areas were defined as local areas (to prevent being scanned out by the mail processor) in, for example, Fastecho, but redefined with SOUPEMAIL, AREAISEMAIL, AREAISNEWS and/or SOUPNEWSRCFILE. Not tested. - Fixed crash when commandline option -N was used. - Fixed zero bytes allocation at [gmxbbs4.cpp,332]. - When the Imm attribute was toggled on, the Hld attribute (if any) was not cleared, and vice versa. - COLOR READER CURSOR now works again. - The menu to select origins/taglines from a file, named with @filename, didn't work well if there were long lines. Additionally, the CR/LF characters were not properly stripped. Not tested. - During the first nodelist lookup, the statusline said "Checking nodelists ...", but the previous statusline was not recovered after checking. Not tested. + Added SEMAPHORE SCANNETMAIL/PMSCANNETMAIL . If GoldED finds this semaphore, it will scan or pmscan all netmail areas. - Fixed -install and AREAFILE Squish for the situation when SET SQUISH points to a filename. Works only partially. - With FRQOPTIONS FAST and AREAFREQDIRECT YES, GoldED did not create more than one frq message when there were more files than could fit in one subject. - Some bugs were introduced as a consequence of the separated msgbase code: EDITMSGSIZE didn't work. DISPSOFTCR didn't work in JAM areas, the -Y debugging commandline parameter didn't work in Hudson, Goldbase, JAM, Squish and Fido areas. Logging of msgbase errors and warnings was fatally flawed - GoldED would simply crash if such an event occurred. - Fixed the annoying charset translation problem that caused erratic translation of ASCII 225 (german sharp s) and other characters, when in the presence of LATIN-1. Specifically, the characters were translated wrongly when you entered a new message while "on" a message with kludge "^aCHRS LATIN-1 2". - Fixed sound support in GoldED/2. If enabled, it caused a crash (SYS3175) when attempting to play a sound, typically the startup sound. Not tested. + Added support for the new Fastecho 1.46 groups 1-6. + In addressmacros and in NAMES.FD, the '@' character is now allowed in the macro name. - Fixed unfree'd allocation at [geread2.cpp,242]. - In the msglist, there were circumstances when double lines appeared below the list of messages. - The replies window was deformed when there was many replies. + Added new color definitions for highlightning of unread and unsent mail in the messagelist: COLOR MENU UNREAD When a msg is unread. COLOR MENU UNREADHIGH Additional highlight of to/from. COLOR MENU UNSENT When a msg is unsent. COLOR MENU UNSENTHIGH Additional highlight of to/from. If a msg is both unread and unsent, the unsent colors are used. The definition of "unread" in this case is a message where the "timesread" field contains the value 0 (zero) or some kind of "seen" attribute is not set. See also the description of the new HIGHLIGHTUNREAD keyword. In msgbases where there is no timesread field or "seen" attribute, GoldED currently fakes it and always returns a 1 (one) in the timesread field, so that msgs won't be listed as unread all the time. If the HIGHLIGHTUNREAD keyword is set to NO, the UNREAD colors are deactivated. These are the defaults: COLOR MENU UNREAD Green on Black COLOR MENU UNREADHIGH White on Black COLOR MENU UNSENT LGrey on Black COLOR MENU UNSENTHIGH LRed on Black + Added new keyword HIGHLIGHTUNREAD . Defaults to NO. If set to YES, GoldED updates (increases) the "timesread" field in each message that you read. If set to NO, it doesn't touch the message. The YES setting causes a slight performance decrease, because the header of each message has to be read, the timesread field updated and the header written back to disk. The update happens immediately after the message is displayed, so you may not notice it at all. A message is only updated if the timesread field contains the value 0 (zero). This keyword only works in the following msgbase formats: Fido (*.MSG), Hudson, Goldbase, JAM, Squish, Ezycom and AdeptXBBS. In Squish and Ezycom, there is no timesread field, but I have annexed a reserved message attribute (in Squish, 0x00080000, now called MSGSEEN; in Ezycom, extattr 0x80) for the purpose of marking a message as read at least once. The other formats (PCBoard, WildCat) have no timesread field, but they have reserved fields or attributes which *could* be used. Let me know if you want this. - A bug caused the area description to be used instead of the path in a few situations: The GOLDAREA.INC file, the quotebuffer file, PCBoard. ______________________________________________________________________ The above notes are added since Alpha5 ______________________________________________________________________
