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