- New in this release (v1.00)
- ---------------------------
- 1) A vcd-like quick directory changer. The new command "ycd <directory>"
- performs a quick change to the directory specified anywhere on the same
- drive. When the command is first issued on any drive, a directory scan
- is carried out and the results stored in a file named "YCD_DAT" in the
- root directory of that drive. Subsequently, YCD_DAT will be used whenever
- a ycd is called. If you make changes to the directory structure, you can
- cause yaos to rescan by deleting the YCD_DAT file. Currently, ycd do not
- support cross directory searches.
- [Note: If you are on a networked drive and do not have write permissions,
- using ycd will result in a directory scan every time. (I have not personally
- tested ycd on a networked drive.)]
-
- 2) Implemented CMD.EXE's F1 functionality. To search through previously used
- commands, just type in the first few characters and hit the F1 function-key
- to cycle through matches. You can also use the Up/Down arrow keys to do
- the same thing. As a result, command editing after a search no longer
- begins at the end of the commandline.
-
- 3) A command selected in a history popup window (using <Alt-h>) is not
- executed immediately. This allows you to edit the command before issuing it.
-
- 4) Wrap-around now occurs in all popup windows.
-
- New in release (v0.99)
- ----------------------
- 1) Bug fixes: "!.." works if ".." is in cmdline history.
- (plus a few minor fixes)
-
- 2) 'x' no longer exits yaos. Both 'exit' and Alt-x do.
-
- 3) Environment variable expansion works now. For example, you can do something
- like this: set path=%path%c:\mydir;
-
- 4) No longer exits unnecessarily when Ctrl-C is pressed while executing a
- command. In fact, yaos mask out SIGINT and SIGBREAK signals.
-
- 5) Use of '&' to detach a process like in Unix.
-
- 6) New command "kill <pid>" that destroys the process whose id is <pid>
- (<pid> can be specified in hexadecimal (e.g., 0x261) or
- decimal (e.g., 609). Make use of the OS/2 program "pstat /c" to find out
- the pids of active processes.
-
- New in release v0.98a
- ---------------------
- This release fixes a bug in v0.98 relating to writing aliases to files.
- It has no additional feature over v0.98.
-
- New in release v0.98
- --------------------
- 1) The '-r <filename>' option is obsolete. In its place, a new option
- '-s <filename>' is added. The file may contain both alias definitions
- and environment variables settings.
-
- 2) The command "alias -r <filename>" is now replaced by a more general
- command called "source <filename>". The contents of <filename> may
- contain both alias definitions and environment variables settings.
-
- 3) Alias expansions will not be shown if the '-q' flag is used.
-
- 4) Alias definition in a file requires the "alias" keyword. Previously, an
- alias definition in a file looked like:
- c=cls
- Now, it must be specified as:
- alias c=cls OR
- alias c cls
-
- 5) Verify on/off settings work now.
-
- 6) Hitting the <Esc> key clears the command line.
