- Stay Connected! 1.3 for Microsoft Windows 95/NT
- Release Date: April 12, 1997
-
- Fixed: We have changed the default host to an Atomic Clock server at
- tycho.usno.navy.mil due to a request from Best Internet reporting that
- we have placed a strain on Best Internet's system resources and may have
- degraded Best Internet's services. We strongly encourage you to set
- your default host to your local ISP to avoid situations like this from
- happening again.

- Stay Connected! 1.2a for Microsoft Windows 95/NT
- Release Date: March 21, 1997
-
- Fixed: AOL browser pops up a message "You have been online for xx minutes.
- Do you want to stay online? Please click OK in 10 minutes or you will be
- logged off." Stay Connected! v1.2 release was not aware of this message,
- rather, we reacted to a message "You have been idle for a while. Do you
- want to stay online?" by clicking the "Yes" button. With this release, we
- are able to click both "Yes" and "OK" on behalf of the user.
-
- Fixed: Even when AOL browser is not present, the two bars are showing a
- misleading Aqua (Cyan) color rather than 2 red bars.

- Stay Connected! 1.2 for Microsoft Windows 95/NT
- Release Date: March 12, 1997
-
- New! This is probably the most frequently asked question, "Does Stay
- Connected! work with America Online?" YES! This release is solely
- for the sake of this popular request.

- Stay Connected! 1.1 for Microsoft Windows 95/NT
- Release Date: February 26, 1997
-
- New! This is probably the most important feature of this release. We have
- added HTTP protocol to improve the dropped connection situation for some
- users. In the previous version, many users were still disconnected even
- after checking all tag services. This is due to ISPs detecting browser
- activities only. If there isn't any browser activity, ISPs assume that the
- subscriber is not surfing the net. Didn't you have experience downloading
- a large file just to find out that your ISP disconnected you in the middle
- of the download session?
-
- New! Added user specified port to cater for users accessing through a proxy
- server or firewall, as well as specific sites with specific services like
- IRC, MSN.
-
- New! As a convenience for users to register the software, a browser shortcut
- icon is added to the folder. Users can also register via the newly added
- menu item "Register Via Internet." Internet registration is the preferred
- choice as the operation is fully automated 24 hours/day, 7 days a week,
- and registration reply is instantaneous.
-
- New! Added more help instructions in the help file to assist beginners.
-
- New! Added a startup screen with evaluation period countdown so that users are
- aware of the unregistered evaluation period. Registered users have the option
- to disable this startup screen.
-
- New! Added a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) to answer the most commonly asked
- questions.
-
- New! Added this whatsnew.txt
-
- Fixed: Unreliable winsock operation with Windows 95 causes some modems to hang
- completely. Hard reboot is required.
