- GIFwatcher 2.2.0 contains the following changes from the 2.1.2 version:
- * Now GIFwatcher really does work with America Online! If only previous
- users had complained more! Some people did indeed complain that
- GIFwatcher didn't work with AOL. I suggested that they try the "All
- Files" option. This was my best guess for a fix, not having AOL myself to
- experiment with at the time. NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THAT MY SUGGESTION
- DIDN'T WORK! You people have got to stop being so polite. I need your
- complaints. I don't think that I ever would have found out about the
- real problem if I hadn't finally gotten my own AOL account.
- * The new alternate method for reading in-progress downloads is automatic
- for AOL, but it can be specifically invoked in case other communications
- programs require it.
- * Comments embedded within GIF89a files can now be viewed. Comments are
- textual material that accompanies a GIF file, but is not rendered as part
- of the image.
- * GIF formats other than GIF87a and GIF89a will be tentatively recognized.
-
- GIFwatcher 2.1.2 contains the following changes from the 2.1.1 version:
- * Added a feature that displays interlaced images by expanding the earliest
- received scan lines into the gaps in between. Too bad there aren't many
- interlaced images out there -- this is a fun feature.
- * Made some interface changes.
- * Recompiled with updated THINK C. Older version of THINK C had some
- compiler bugs that could have potentially caused problems (though I
- know of no specific examples).
- * Fixed the documentation that had been mangled by Microsoft Word's flaky
- conversion of Word files into MacWrite files. I just plain gave up on
- using curly apostophes -- Word dutifully strips them from the MacWrite
- versions of a file -- as well as other characters like bullets. You can
- load the current file into Word just fine. Word seems to do its damage
- when you save in MacWrite format.
-
- GIFwatcher 2.1.1 contains the following changes from the 2.1.0 version:
- * Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when GIFwatcher auto-opened a GIF
- file while running in the background.
- * Extended "About" information.
-
-
- GIFwatcher 2.1.0 contains the following changes from the 2.0.3 version:
-
- * Much faster decompression for most files.
- * Can read GIF89a format.
- * Full GIF87a compliance - now supports multiple images, local color tables,
- images with no global color table, background color specification.
- * Improved selection and scaling features.
- * Fixed bug that caused a crash if the user quit GIFwatcher while in full-
- display mode.
- * Separate 68020 version no longer included (or needed).
-
- GIFwatcher 2.0.3 contains the following changes from the 2.0.2 version:
-
- * Fixed an obscure screen glitch -- using "Faster GIF Open..." on
- a partial GIF file while the status text was hidden would cause
- the progress display to be shown againts a dark or black background.
- * Improved Command-period cancellation response.
- * Added a note to the documentation for Microphone users -- Hold down
- the option key when selecting "Open GIF..." if you intend to use
- the automatic-open feature.
-
- GIFwatcher 2.0.2 contains the following changes from the 2.0.1 version:
-
- * Added ability to Save PICT ID = 0 resource files (start-up screen
- format).
- * Added image color-inversion.
- * Added preference choice for allowing menu bar to remain when using
- full-display mode. This may help with the incompatibility some user's
- have had using GIFwatcher with AOL.
- * Fixed bug that causes crash when PICT saves were attempted on Macs
- without Color Quickdraw.
-
- GIFwatcher 2.0.1 contains the following changes from the 2.0 version:
-
- * Added an automatic-open feature so that new GIFs are detected and
- displayed without user intervention. Just start the download and
- and the image will appear.
- * Enabled Cut/Copy under the edit menu to copy images to the clipboard.
- * Fixed a scrolling bug.
- * Fixed a bug related to using "Faster GIF Open..." on empty files.
