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