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