67ToDo:

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