Arachnophilia Revision History
(Reverse chronological order)
-
Version 5.1 Build 1846 04/16/2002.
Dcoumentation update. Added some new FAQs and more details about the FTP Service.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1845 04/16/2002.
Fixed a bug in the Right-Click Wizard that prevented detection of some color definitions in style blocks.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1844 04/15/2002.
Added PHP to file types that can be beautified by Code Beautifier.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1843 04/15/2002.
Corrected a bug in Code Beautify. It wasn't recognizing C files.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1842 04/15/2002.
Corrected a bug in Table Wizard that prevented creation of a default empty table.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1841 04/15/2002.
Fixed one additional bug in key mapping, made program remember the main divider location between uses.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1840 04/15/2002.
Corrected some bugs in key mapping that sometimes allowed a null keyboard shortcut to exist.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1839 04/13/2002.
Changed to allow the editing windows to share the background color of system windows, instead of the default white. I think I may regret this. :)
-
Version 5.1 Build 1838 04/13/2002.
Located and corrected a bug that produced a display lock-up in some rare conditions. I recommend that everyone download this important bug fix.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1837 04/09/2002.
Cleaned up some minor deficiencies in the new RTF to HTML converter.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1836 04/09/2002.
Fixed a bug in shortcut key mapping and encoding. Some valid combinations were not being accepted, and the key mappings were not being listed correctly.
-
Version 5.1 Build 1835 04/09/2002.
Responding to popular demand, added an RTF to HTML converter. This converter is constrained by Java's limited knowledge of RTF syntax, but it will convert RTF documents in much the same way as Arachnophilia 4.0's converter did. It won't convert images or tables, but it will handle most normal rich-text content.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1834 04/07/2002.
Corrected a hitherto undetected out-of-bounds bug in string handling code.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1833 04/07/2002.
Improved the friendliness and robustness of the browser configuration dialog. It is almost the first thing a new user sees, and it isn't possible to view the help file until a browser has been located. So it is now almost automatic -- it chooses a reasonable directory and will search even if the user isn't sure which button to press.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1832 04/06/2002.
Fixed a bug that prevented the import of legacy toolbars/macros. Changed to a numeric code for storing keyboard codes upon discovering that each language supported by Java spells keyboard key names differently. This assures that non-English users will have the correct default keyboard shortcuts. Fixed a few other, lesser bugs.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1831 03/31/2002.
Rewrote Arachnophilia's internal FilePicker class to handle network paths and improved its speed. On Windows, FilePicker can now browse your network just as Windows File Explorer does.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1830 03/30/2002.
Replaced the regular expression engine. The previous (gnu-regexp) engine, used in the pre-Java 1.4 version of Arachnophilia, has been replaced with that now built into Java 1.4. This means the new features described in the Java documentation for the java.util.regex package all apply to Arachnophilia's regular expression processor. The Java regex package is more robust and less likely to crash or lock up than the older version.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1828 03/27/2002.
Fixed some default toolbar/menu inconsistencies, fixed a clipboard bug.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1827 03/25/2002.
Fixed a reported bug in character to HTML entity conversion. The routine was converting the content of tags as well as the tag delimiters in HTML documents. Now it checks to see if the target is an HTML document and changes its behavior if so.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1826 03/25/2002.
Changed the default FTP Service remote directory path to "/". This was causing some confusion -- most (but not all) configurations require this slash to be present, and it was not present by default. Updated documentation.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1825 03/23/2002.
Fixed a small bug having to do with differing quirks in differing versions of the Netscape browser. Added some entries to the FAQ list.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1824 03/18/2002.
Fixed a bug brought on by the Java 1.4 transition in which the tab key suddenly stopped working in the editor.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1823 03/17/2002.
Fixed a bug in the FTP service, rewrote the clipboard functions to offer and accept more data types.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1822 03/16/2002.
Fixed a bug in which context menus would extend off the right and bottom edges of the display. This is actually a bug in Java, but I was able to create a fix.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1821 03/14/2002.
Corrected a bug in the new [FileSaveToEOL] feature. It was saving the progam's own files using the user's choice of line ending. Relatively benign, but not what I intended.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1820 03/13/2002.
Added an automatic error logging system, so any program or java runtime engine errors will automatically be logged to (user home directory)/.Arachnophilia/ArachErrorLog.txt. If you submit a bug report, be sure to include any contents this file may have.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1818 03/13/2002.
Added a system command [FileSaveEOL:arg] to allow users to override the default platform end-of-line character sequence.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1817 03/13/2002.
Accommodated a Netscape browser launch problem with a code change.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1816 03/13/2002.
Corrected some errors and inconsistencies in the documentation.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1815 03/12/2002.
After a first-day flood of bug reports from people who haven't bothered to download the correct Java runtime version, I have reluctantly added a dialog that checks the Java version and, if necessary, tells the user to download the correct verison.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1814 03/12/2002.
Fixed a few typographical errors and an incorrect reference to JRE 1.3 -- Arachnophilia 5.0 requires JRE 1.4.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1812 03/12/2002.
Fixed a raft of bugs that accompanied first release. Decided to bundle documentation with application.
-
Version 5.0 Build 1810 03/11/2002.
Initial public release.
