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