50
51ToDo:
52- Major code refactoring
53- Create Icon. stem in order to ease maintainance of icons
54- Create mechanism to save passive connections across sessions
55- Debug on/off option is badly implemented (rework required)
56- Advanced dialog should be split into connection options and global options
57- smbtree error messages are ignored (requires more code from smbmon)
58- printer share detection is flaky
59- error checking
60- rebuild required utilities with libc063 (instead of libc064x)
61
62Version 1.3.4
63!Fixed: Readonly connection option did not work (was not implemented)
64Version 1.3.3
65*Changed: Provide better message box for profile saving (to explain rather
66 odd behavior
67Version 1.3.2
68!Fixed: No more double drive letters in the drive letters list after mounting
69*Changed: "Workgroup/ Domain:" back to "Workgroup:"
70Version 1.3.1
71+Added: Explanation for errors in case mount operation fails
72*Changed: "Workgroup:" to "Workgroup/ Domain:"
73Version 1.3
74+Added: Support for the (new) ndpsmb logging feature
75+Added: Support for the (old) ndpsmb logging feature (deactivated)
76+Added: Save "titlebar" color across sessions
77*Changed: Merge Alex Taylor's and Herwig B.'s latest changes
78*Changed: Also display status data in hintarea when mouse cursor is over
79 the "current resources" pane
80!Fixed: Tab order in "new resource" pane
81!Fixed: Help did not work for advanced window in NLV versions
82
83Version 1.2.1 (2009-04, Herwig B.)
84+Added: Try to restart EVFSCTL.EXE once in case it is not running.
85+Added: Implemented support for error messages depending on return codes
86 in case of failed operations as provided from ndpsmb.dll version
87 1.5alpha2 or better.
88*Changed: Move status data of current connection into container caption
89 (Makes more sense there).
90*Changed: Show version notice in status area (at the bottom now)
91!Fixed: In case the connect operation fails on a newly created mount point,
92 the mountpoint is removed again, instead of leaving it in a zombie
93 status. That makes sense as EVFSGUI does not support the creation
94 and maintainance of empty mountpoints (the underlying EVFS (including
95 the REXX interface) supports this, but the GUI does not).
96
97Version 1.2.1 (2009-05, Alex Taylor)
98!Fixed: Main window wasn't set visible if INI file was missing.
99!Fixed: Corrected English, formatting h in helpfile.
100*Added: Better program icon.
101
102Version 1.2 (2008-10)
103*Updated: Finally all the help files are updated to reflect all changes
104 (en, de and fr)
105!Workaround: It appears that for unknown reasons the SysDriveMap() function
106 hangs if it is used with the "FREE" and "REMOTE" flags, after it is
107 called for several times. I noticed that after I received Yuri's
108 latest Samba plugin. The problem disappears if EVFS is not installed.
109 This should be tested (and fixed) by Vitali in EVFS (probably).
110
111+Added: In debug mode the output in the console window has time stamps now
112+Added: Display name and version of the used IFS on "empty" mountpoints
113+Added: Button on the autoload window (the -nogui GUI) to abort reconnection
114+Added: Server entry field is now a drop down combo box holding all servers
115 to which connections were made with)
116+Added: Alternatively support NetDrive for SMB shares instead of EVFS (using
117 undocumented -ndfs switch)
118*Updated: All message files
119!Fixed: Bug in my autoload code
120!Fixed: Bug in my -ndfs code (spotted by Guillaume)
121
122+Added: Autostart EVFS connections feature via Startup folder object
123+Added: -nogui switch (only show a small message window)
124+Added: -autoclose switch (close eVFSGUI after 3 seconds)
125+Added: Load profile specified on the commandline
126+Added: Edit via context menu for mountpoints with exactly one resource
127+Added: Context menu equivalents to the Detach and Unmount pushbuttons
128+Added: The content of the EF_NETWORK field (aka workgroup) is saved to the
129 eVFSGUI.INI as this changes only on rare occasions (saved me a lot of
130 typing during testing)
131+Added: Do not attach drive if has already been attached (from TODO list A.T.)
132!Fixed: Profiles supported plain passwords whereas EVFS provided encrypted
133 passwords in profile files
134!Fixed: eVFSGUI initializes itself properly now
135!Fixed: eVFSGUI would hang after displaying the message "no control program
136 found"
137!Fixed: Cleanup signal stuff ("return" after a signal is a bad thing to do!)
138!Fixed: INI file was not closed after leaving eVFSGUI
139!Fixed: When several mount points exist and the first one is removed the click
140 event routine was executed after the corresponded record was already
141 removed -> eVFSGUI crashed. As a fix the record is validated before an
142 attempt to access its data is done. If it does not exist anymore the
143 event routine is terminated without further action.
