- Revision History
- ================
-
- * Version 1.4
-
- Sad news first: Sandro had to give up his Amiga for a PC, so he will no
- longer work on BackMan. Sigh...
-
- This is mainly a maintenance version I put together after collecting all
- the pieces left over in the past months. The main change is...
-
- - This release of BackMan requires AmigaOS 3.0 and MUI 3.3.
- Don't complain, upgrade.
-
- There are reasons beyond mere evolution, though. I had problems with
- compiler's small code/data model that forced me to reduce code size:
- this was the fastest way. External custom classes will come next, as
- soon as I get really proficient with them.
-
- - Some attempts at using MUI 3's Listtree class for BackMan's directory
- list were released on Aminet. This release returns to our own tree-like
- directory list, because as of today all the attempts failed.
- (Listtree documentation is not so good, if you ask me. Sorry kmel.)
-
- - You can sort the catalog list in the backup window with drag'n'drop.
-
- - Some aesthetic changes: for example, during a Diff the Statistics group
- disappears entirely.
-
- - Some changes may not be self-evident, but there are more than I have
- time to list here. Some are consequences of the new MUI, some are bug
- fixes or small enhancements. You won't notice them unless you noticed
- that there was some imperfection before.
-
- * Version 1.3
-
- - SCSI Tape support added!
-
- - Unregistered version will inform you about size limit before actually
- starting the backup.
-
- - When compression is enabled, try and guess the number of required
- disks based on current compression ratio.
-
- - Elapsed and estimed time and real speed display added.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the install script which double-copied the docs.
-
- - Docs updated and refined.
-
- - New "Maximum log lines" option to limit the diplayed log lines.
- Should speed up the things when backing up lots of dirs.
-
- - Selection of more than one floppy disk for backup is no more possible.
- This will be re-enabled when multi-device backup will be implemented.
-
- - New images in the file selection window: now folding is far more
- usable than before.
-
- * Version 1.2
-
- - Fixed a bug in the key checking code: now registered user can really
- use BackMan from a single floppy disk.
-
- - Added the "SystemMover" script to make an emergency boot disk.
- Now it's simple to have BackManMUI on a single floppy disk!
-
- * Version 1.1
-
- - Corrected some Seek problems in the Diff routines.
-
- - Requester "This is the first disk..." isn't opened in Diff mode.
-
- * Version 1.0
-
- - Initial release.
