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