90Version 1.3.7 - changes not relevant for 2.0
91
92Version 1.3.6
93!Fixed: When connecting to a complete server, the workgroup got lost during the
94 connecting process.
95Version 1.3.5
96!Fixed: Error in profile file parsing logic could lead to double entries
97 for LOGFILE and LOGLEVEL (possibly having side effects on EASUPPORT)
98Version 1.3.4
99!Fixed: Readonly connection option did not work (was not implemented)
100Version 1.3.3
101*Changed: Provide better message box for profile saving (to explain rather
102 odd behavior
103Version 1.3.2
104!Fixed: No more double drive letters in the drive letters list after mounting
105*Changed: "Workgroup/ Domain:" back to "Workgroup:"
106Version 1.3.1
107+Added: Explanation for errors in case mount operation fails
108*Changed: "Workgroup:" to "Workgroup/ Domain:"
109Version 1.3
110+Added: Support for the (new) ndpsmb logging feature
111+Added: Support for the (old) ndpsmb logging feature (deactivated)
112+Added: Save "titlebar" color across sessions
113*Changed: Merge Alex Taylor's and Herwig B.'s latest changes
114*Changed: Also display status data in hintarea when mouse cursor is over
115 the "current resources" pane
116!Fixed: Tab order in "new resource" pane
117!Fixed: Help did not work for advanced window in NLV versions
118
119Version 1.2.1 (2009-04, Herwig B.)
120+Added: Try to restart EVFSCTL.EXE once in case it is not running.
121+Added: Implemented support for error messages depending on return codes
122 in case of failed operations as provided from ndpsmb.dll version
123 1.5alpha2 or better.
124*Changed: Move status data of current connection into container caption
125 (Makes more sense there).
126*Changed: Show version notice in status area (at the bottom now)
127!Fixed: In case the connect operation fails on a newly created mount point,
128 the mountpoint is removed again, instead of leaving it in a zombie
129 status. That makes sense as EVFSGUI does not support the creation
130 and maintainance of empty mountpoints (the underlying EVFS (including
131 the REXX interface) supports this, but the GUI does not).
132
133Version 1.2.1 (2009-05, Alex Taylor)
134!Fixed: Main window wasn't set visible if INI file was missing.
135!Fixed: Corrected English, formatting h in helpfile.
136*Added: Better program icon.
137
138Version 1.2 (2008-10)
139*Updated: Finally all the help files are updated to reflect all changes
140 (en, de and fr)
141!Workaround: It appears that for unknown reasons the SysDriveMap() function
142 hangs if it is used with the "FREE" and "REMOTE" flags, after it is
143 called for several times. I noticed that after I received Yuri's
144 latest Samba plugin. The problem disappears if EVFS is not installed.
145 This should be tested (and fixed) by Vitali in EVFS (probably).
146
147+Added: In debug mode the output in the console window has time stamps now
148+Added: Display name and version of the used IFS on "empty" mountpoints
149+Added: Button on the autoload window (the -nogui GUI) to abort reconnection
150+Added: Server entry field is now a drop down combo box holding all servers
151 to which connections were made with)
152+Added: Alternatively support NetDrive for SMB shares instead of EVFS (using
153 undocumented -ndfs switch)
154*Updated: All message files
155!Fixed: Bug in my autoload code
156!Fixed: Bug in my -ndfs code (spotted by Guillaume)
157
158+Added: Autostart EVFS connections feature via Startup folder object
159+Added: -nogui switch (only show a small message window)
160+Added: -autoclose switch (close eVFSGUI after 3 seconds)
161+Added: Load profile specified on the commandline
162+Added: Edit via context menu for mountpoints with exactly one resource
163+Added: Context menu equivalents to the Detach and Unmount pushbuttons
164+Added: The content of the EF_NETWORK field (aka workgroup) is saved to the
165 eVFSGUI.INI as this changes only on rare occasions (saved me a lot of
166 typing during testing)
167+Added: Do not attach drive if has already been attached (from TODO list A.T.)
168!Fixed: Profiles supported plain passwords whereas EVFS provided encrypted
169 passwords in profile files
170!Fixed: eVFSGUI initializes itself properly now
171!Fixed: eVFSGUI would hang after displaying the message "no control program
172 found"
173!Fixed: Cleanup signal stuff ("return" after a signal is a bad thing to do!)
174!Fixed: INI file was not closed after leaving eVFSGUI
175!Fixed: When several mount points exist and the first one is removed the click
176 event routine was executed after the corresponded record was already
177 removed -> eVFSGUI crashed. As a fix the record is validated before an
178 attempt to access its data is done. If it does not exist anymore the
179 event routine is terminated without further action.
