Arachnophilia Revision History
01/09/1999 Version 3.9 Build 5181 Fixed a number of small bugs, including a Web Site Update Tool bug that prevented correct operation if no remote path entry was made, a bug that prevented automatic save on exit if the internal browser was launched, and several other small bugs. Added Tools ... Options ... Miscellaneous ... Create Unix Line Endings on Save option, to allow conversion to Unix file format as a file is saved. As a file is saved, you have the option of making no change, Create Windows Line Endings or Create Unix Line Endings. 12/12/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5151 Added 4 inadvertently omitted system commands to toolbar/macro system command list. A small change. 11/18/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5142 Added tag uppercase/lowercase functions to the Selection Menu, and extended the new tag case controls to all Arachnophilia-generated tags. If you enable Tools ... Options ... Miscellaneous ... Use lowercase system-generated tags, all Arachnophilia-generated tags will be lowercase -- custom toolbar tags, system tags, HTML file template tags, RTF converted document tags, everything. If you disable this option, all tags will be uppercase. I made this change because of a rather long debate about tags whose case was not controlled by this option in the past. Some people insist on lower-case tags, and an equal number insist on uppercase. If you have existing documents whose tags you want to convert, use the new Selection Menu functions. For new documents and new editing tasks, use the above-described option setting. 11/02/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5112 Added more windows manipulation commands to Windows menu and system command list. 11/02/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5106 Fixed a bug in Site Analyzer that had disregarded the case of file names, added a Word Wrap toggle command to the Tools menu and system command list. 10/31/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5096 Changed keyboard handling code to remedy a keyboard-layout bug reported by European users. I hope this works, I cannot test it locally. 10/31/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5088 Fixed some small bugs, added help buttons to the Beautify HTML dialogs, updated help file with section on Beautify HTML. 10/28/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5081 Improved the behavior and layout of the file selector toolbar, updated the help screens to reflect recent changes. 10/27/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5074 Added a file selector toolbar, an often-requested feature. This toolbar allows you to switch documents quickly, and uses flyout text to show the full path to the document file. This toolbar, like others in Arachnophilia, can be floated or docked to the top or bottom of the application frame, or disabled. To accomplish its purpose most easily, it should be docked to the top or bottom of the frame. 10/24/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5050 Fixed some small bugs, added a clickable feature to the HTML error list in Beautify/Analyze HTML. You may now click the error list and the document will scroll to display the line containing the error. 10/23/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5046 Fixed a bug that prevented work on large (> 65K) files in Windows 95/98. This bug slipped past me because I develop in NT 4.0, and I assumed the file maximum size would carry over. Nope -- because of a bug in the way Windows 95/98 handles large files, these versions still lag behind NT. My workaround will allow work on very large files in all environments. Why you would want a giant Web page is another question, but it is now at least possible. Fixed a bug that prevented tag coloring after an operation had been canceled. 10/22/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5037 This build solves the Alt+Key menu access problem. Now, if you don't define a macro for a particular Alt+Key, that key reverts to its traditional function -- menu access. If you like using Alt+Key combinations to access menu items, simply donÆt define macros that use those keys. Typically Alt+F, Alt+E and a few others can be set aside in this way, and the remainder can be used for macros. 10/18/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5029 Fixed some small bugs, added a report dialog to the Fix Line Endings function to provide confirmation that there were, in fact, some incorrect line endings, updated the help file. 10/16/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5022 Added full-document tag coloring just before printing or print preview if automatic tag coloring is enabled, to enable full-document color printing. This is a feature schools have asked for, so students can have color printouts of their HTML pages. 10/15/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5021 Changed toolbar files to synchronize them with recent changes in System commands. If your favorite toolbar buttons are suddenly not working, update to this version. In the last upgrade I eliminated some redundant system commands, not remembering that my toolbars were using those very same redundant commands. 10/15/1998 Version 3.9 Build 5020 Added a List Wizard tool to automatically create HTML lists from data. Corrected a few bugs: the RTF to HTML converter was lowercasing the entire document in some cases, and pressing F3 didnÆt necessarily find the right next case (Find or Replace). Fixed a real show-stopper -- a bug that, in rare circumstances, would reliably blue-screen Windows NT 4.0 even though it was caused by a rather trivial coding error. Seeing NT 4.0 blue-screen with absolute consistency, for a trivial reason, was sobering. Also changed the default line ending token from "\n" to "\p" to solve a longstanding problem. The problem is that DOS- and Windows- based systems require two characters at the end of each line -- "\r\n", or carriage return + linefeed. Because I specified "\n" as a linefeed token, many users believed it correctly terminated lines -- it doesn't. My new token "\p" always generates both required characters. This change is reflected in the macro/toolbar file syntax and the Find/Replace dialogs. Edited toolbar and macro files will be saved using the new syntax. This change does not make the "\r\n" syntax inoperative -- this notation will continue to work. It is just deprecated for future use. 10/13/1998 Version 3.8 Build 5015 Fixed a bug having to do with the clipboard that only affected Windows 95/98 machines. Sometimes I am lulled into complacency by running Windows NT 4.0, which is far less persnickety about certain things : ) 10/13/1998 Version 3.8 Build 5012 Fixed a bug in the HTML Entities -> Extended Characters translator that caused it to exit before converting the entire block. 10/09/1998 Version 3.8 Build 5005 Fixed another one of the small bugs that resulted from the recent major internal overhaul of Arachnophilia. This one scrambled the titles of the custom toolbars when they were floating. Annoying but relatively harmless.
