-
- Revision History
-
- Version 3.10 - 7/8/98
- Added support for Windows 98. On rare occasion, CD-Quick Cache was unable
- to read its registry settings upon startup. This would cause the software
- to default to use RAM even if disk was selected. Fixed. Some Busmaster
- drivers don't support multi-sector transfers. The busmaster fix added
- in v3.01 is now an option. The Norton System Doctor fix added in v3.01
- caused problems with Disk Minder from Nuts & Bolts when used with FAT32.
- Fixed. CD-Test's priority has been increased to give more accurate
- results when other programs are running. Maximum cache size for disk
- has been increased to 256MB. Maximum cache size for RAM has been
- increased to 32MB.
-
- Version 3.01 - 3/26/98
- Busmaster drivers that do not support scatter-gather prevented CD-Quick
- Cache from doing any readahead. Fixed. The Norton System Doctor from
- the Norton Utilities v3.0 periodically does a volume lock on the hard
- drive CD-Quick Cache uses for cache storage. CD-Quick Cache would detect
- this and shut down for the duration of the lock. The lock detect
- algorithm has been changed to allow CD-Quick Cache to remain active during
- these kinds of locks. If CD-Test did a random read on a file larger than
- 64MB, only the first 64MB would be read. Fixed. All documentation and
- program windows have been reviewed to insure that the software is only
- referred to as CD-Quick Cache. This was done to make the lawyers happy.
-
- Version 3.00 - 11/17/97
- Added a persistent disk cache feature, so the cache will remember from
- disc to disc and session to session. Greatly enhanced control over full
- motion video caching. Now has full support for AVI, QuickTime and MPEG.
- AVI caching would not be disabled if the program thread that read the
- file was not the same thread that opened the file. Fixed. Made QuickMon
- a trayicon application. CD-Quick Cache now has the ability to report
- performance data to the Windows 95 System Monitor utility. Keycodes can
- now be entered from the opening splash screen. Now allows an uninstall
- if in "Safe Mode". QuickMon can now adjust for on-the-fly screen
- resolution and color palette changes. Setup now sets the non-compressed
- hard drive with the most free space as the default for cache storage.
- Now displays a warning if installation is attempted on Windows NT. Now
- warns if a Keycode for the DOS/Windows 3.x version is entered. Added a
- running day count to the opening splash screen. Fixed some minor user
- interface issues such as the use of the wrong text color with a black
- background.
-
- Version 2.01 - 1/8/97
- A long standing compatibility problem was discovered that could occur
- with any low level disk utility that does volume locking. After such
- a utility was run, Windows 95 would no longer allow CD-Quick Cache to
- access its swap file. Known utilities that exhibit this problem are the
- Windows 95 ScanDisk and Defrag, and the Norton Utilities Speed Disk.
- This version of CD-Quick Cache fixes the problem.
-
- Version 2.00 - 12/28/96
- Added the new utility, CD-Test to demonstrate CD-Quick Cache's
- effectiveness. All graphics have been updated to Windows 95 conventions
- throughout as well as new ones for CD-Quick Cache. CD-Quick Cache's
- timing has been changed to improve operation with some CD-ROMs. Maximum
- cache size for disk has been increased to 128MB. QuickMon's "Cache On"
- selection will now remember it's setting between sessions. A direct link
- to our Web Site has been added to CD-Quick Cache's splash screen and help
- file. CD-Quick Cache no longer displays a warning if no CD-ROM is found
- at startup (done for Laptops with removable drives). Uninstall can now
- remove the CD-Quick Cache directory as well. Install will no longer mark
- files as "Read-Only" if installed from a CD-ROM.
-
- Version 1.20 - 6/10/96
- Some Windows 95 CD-ROM drivers still had compatibility problems with
- CD-Quick Cache. This has now been fixed for good. Added the ability to
- disable caching of .AVI video clips. CD-Quick Cache no longer requires
- CTL3D32.DLL. QuickMon now displays the percent saved when minimized
- in the Windows 95 task bar. Setup is unable to add a ShortCut for
- QuickMon if the Start Menu isn't in English. Added a warning message.
- Added a text file to aid in uninstalling CD-Quick Cache for those people
- who won't read the manual.
-
- Version 1.10 - 4/16/96
- Some Windows 95 CD-ROM drivers had problems with CD-Quick Cache, causing
- the software to lock. Fixed! If QuickMon was started without first
- accessing a CD-ROM drive, a page fault could occur. Fixed! CD-Quick
- Cache wouldn't delete its old swap file if the drive used for the swap
- was changed. Fixed.
-
- Version 1.00 - 3/19/96
- First release.
