- This file contains details of last minute updates some of which may not be
- reflected in the manual.
-
- Please note that users of ver 1.0 or ver 1.1 will have to upgrade their
- database to ver 3 format. See README.TXT for details on how to do this.

- CDPlayer - Version 3.5 Windows - 23 August 1994
-
- 1 Under certain circumstances, the CD display froze at the end of
- custom or shuffle play. This could cause the handset to become
- inoperable and the only cure was to close CDPlayer and launch it
- again. This has been corrected.

- CDPlayer - Version 3.4b Windows version - 22 May 1994
-
- 1 The option to "Keep on top" has been extended to the small handset
- and the system menu removed from the small handset as its only
- function was to allow you to return to the full handset.
-
- If the "Keep on top" box is checked in the Configuration dialog box,
- the system now displays the small handset on top of the current
- application as well as keeping the icon in view if the program is
- minimized.
-
- 2 Improvements have been made to the look of the buttons after they have
- been pressed. The button which has focus (i.e. the last one pressed)
- now displays a blue symbol rather than a line surrounding the word.
-
- 3 At various points during the program it was possible to run two
- conflicting options simultaneously, e.g. Browse and Fit tracks to
- time, and this could cause a GP fault. Tests have now been included to
- ensure that when an option is active other conflicting options are not
- able to be run.
-
- 4 It appears that there was still a possibility of the database files
- being opened twice in some circumstances, resulting in the data
- becoming corrupt. Further checks have been included to ensure that
- this cannot happen.
-
- CDPlayer - Version 3.4b All platforms - 22 May 1994
-
- 5 The logic determining whether or not the drive is open or close has
- been improved and the system should now always open the drive even if
- there is no disk loaded and the display is showing "error".
-

- CDPlayer - Version 3.4a All platforms - 15 January 1994
-
- It was reported that none of the players would play above track 49 on any CD.
- On investigation we discovered that this was the case and this release has
- been made to correct the error. All players will now play the full 99 tracks
- allowed. In addition, it is now also possible to programme tracks 50-99 using
- the program pick list provided in the Windows version of the player.
-
- TSR - Version 3.4a
-
- On loading or unloading the program form memory, the system was setting the
- screen colours to the handset display colour and leaving it in this state. We
- have changed the program so that it no longer changes the screen colours.

- CDPlayer - Version 3.4 (Windows) - 24 October 1993
-
- Enhancement
-
- 1 A new line has been added to the config file (CONFIG.CDP) which
- controls the action of volume button. On installation this line is set
- as NONE thereby indicating that no external program should be called to
- control volume. If NONE is changed to show the path and name of the
- mixer program for your soundcard then the external program will be
- called rather than the internal volume dialog box. E.g. for the
- Sound Blaster Pro the line may be C:\SBPRO\WINAPPL\SBPMIXER.
-
- CDPlayer will first try end execute the program identified here and
- then, if that fails, the internal dialog box.
-
- You can edit the configuration file with a text editor such as EDIT.
-
-
- Bug fix
-
- 1 If the full handset was left on the screen for a long period of time
- (i.e. days) it consumed memory and would eventually stop responding.
- This has been corrected.
-
- 2 If, while the browse, edit or custom play windows were open, you
- inserted or changed a disc the system would attempt to read the
- details from the drive and then access the database. This is due to a
- timer that activates CDPlayer every second for screen update and disc
- check. This caused a conflict which could either result in a
- corruption of the database or a GP error.
-
- The programs have now been changed so that the timed access is
- suppressed when the windows are open. The only side effect of this is
- that events which require the intervention of the main program, e.g.
- update disc times or play the next track of a custom program, will
- not happen until the browse window has been closed.
-
- 3 The option to select the CDROM to use in a multiple CD system was not
- working properly - this has been corrected.
-
- CDPlayer - Version 3.4 (DOS)
-
- Bug fix
-
- 1 In some circumstances the mouse cursor could disappear for prolonged
- periods of time. This has been corrected.
