______________________________________________________________
Version 1.19 (Jan 22 1999)
- Database size: 1,529 files
Version 1.18 (Dec 21 1998)
- Database size: 1,494 files
Version 1.17 (Dec 16 1998)
- Database size: 1,425 files
- Added a progress bar that indicates overall progress when scanning
entire volumes (either all volumes, or a specific volume) but not when
scanning one specific folder.
- Added code to watch for low-memory conditions and exit gracefully,
rather than crash.
Version 1.16 (Dec 14 1998)
- Database size: 1,237 files
Version 1.15 (Nov 29 1998)
- Database size: 1,148 files
- Added an “Installers and Updaters” section and classification.
Version 1.14 (Nov 18 1998)
- Database size: 1,090 files
- Added a “Has Minor Y2K Issues” classification. This classification
is used if the file is essentially ready for year 2000, but has some
minor “issues” the user should be aware of. Typically these issues
(or a link to a web page of issues) will be included in the report notes.
- Added an optional “Y2K classification” field to the records. If the
field is included, each classification is not seperated by a header.
Using this field with the tab-delimited report will ease importing
into a spreadsheet or database.
Version 1.13 (Nov 10 1998)
- Database size: 936 files
- All mounted volumes (all hard disks, CDs, floppies, ... that are on
the desktop) are now scanned by default. The default for earlier
versions was to scan the one volume the program was launched from.
- Reports will now include a warning if a volume becomes unavailable
while it is being scanned.
Version 1.12 (Nov 7 1998)
- Database size: 899 files
- Navigation Services is now supported. Navigation Services provide,
among other things, improved “Choose Location” and “Save” dialog
boxes. Navigation Services is included with MacOS 8.5; it may
be installed on older systems (back to MacOS 7.5.5) if you are willing
to do it yourself - go to the Apple web site and search for “Navigation
Services” for more information. If Navigation Services is not installed,
the older, standard dialog boxes are used.
Version 1.11 (Nov 3 1998)
- Database size: 899 files
Version 1.10 (Oct 27 1998)
- Database size: 841 files
Version 1.09 (Oct 20 1998)
- Database size: 765 files
Version 1.08 (Oct 14 1998)
- Database size: 717 files
- Added a new “Uncertain” category to the report. It is used
when it isn’t known whether a file is or is not year 2000
ready, even though it is recognized and in the database.
This commonly occurs when a producer will only verify
certain versions of an application.
Version 1.07 (Oct 5 1998)
- Database size: 653 files
- Audit now includes desk accessories, FileMaker plug-ins,
and REALbasic plug-ins.
Version 1.06 (Oct 1 1998)
- Database size: 517 files
- Audit now includes background applications, control strip
modules, contextual menu items, FileMaker applications,
and Photoshop plug-ins.
Version 1.05 (Sept 26 1998)
- Database size: 406 files
- File size now includes the size of the resource fork.
Version 1.04 (Sept 19 1998)
- Database size: 378 files
- Reports now include a notes section which includes Y2K notes
from file producers.
Version 1.03 (Sept 14 1998)
- Database size: 338 files
- Three report formats are now available: record (shows all
fields for each record), compact record (omits blank fields),
and tab-delimited (one record per line, with tabs seperating
fields).
- You may now choose which fields to include in a report.
Version 1.02 (Sept 3 1998)
- Database size: 331 files
- Switched to a new report format that seperates applications and
control panels from supporting files (extensions, libraries, and
drivers).
Version 1.01 (August 24 1998)
- Database size: 331 files
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash just after saving a report.
Version 1.00 (August 23 1998)
- Database size: 278 files
