- This section contains a list of warnings about various versions of
- the OS supplied by Commodore. Where possible we have provided the
- version of the OS in which the problem was fixed.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -- Kickstart v3.0 (v39), Workbench v3.0 (v39)
-
- AmigaGUIDE has a fatal bug that will crash the machine. If you
- navigate AmigaGUIDE to a text file, close AmigaGUIDE, then start
- AmigaGUIDE back up again your computer will freeze. The only thing
- you can do with your computer at this point is reset. There is
- nothing we can do about this problem but Commodore is aware of it
- and plans to fix it in Kickstart v3.1 (v40), Workbench v3.1 (v40).

-
- # The FileRequester will now, in save mode, if the user wishes to,
- create a new directory if not found. Also - in directory mode,
- pressing return will not OK the requester.
-
- # The 'Editable' flag will now be set according to the DOS 'write
- enable' flag when a file is loaded.
-
- # Saving a file which is write or delete protected will no longer
- work, but report an error.
-
- # Fixed the 'double clicking on directories' bug in the
- FileRequester.
-
- # Fixed a bug, being able to undo typed characters never inserted
- in a full line (1024 chars) and then redo the characters into the
- line, there by losing the original characters forever.
-
- # AutoFront is now only inhibited when the mouse pointer is over
- the depth gadget.
-
- # ScrScroll in Global Setting Windows is now labeled ScreenScroll.
-
- # Fixed bugs with AUTOFRONT.
-
- # Fixed a bug in the gadget layout routine, not falling back to the
- real size of the screen if a window couldn't be opened within the
- dclip.
-
- # Fixed a small bug in RX, not functioning properly during macro
- recording.
-
- # Fixed bugs in Fold, HIDEALL with nothing to hide would still
- change the slider until finally the knob would fill the
- container. Also HIDEALL with a foldmarker missmatch would cause
- Edge to enter a busyloop with no return.
-
- # It is no longer possible to create recursive macros when
- recording them.
-
- # Edge will now put an EDGE chunk in the clip FTXT form, holding
- the clip type (NORMAL or COLUMNAR). All clipboard interface is
- now done via the 'iffparse.library'.
-
- # Foldmarkers may now be white space indented.
-
- * Added a SYNC switch to Edge, when specified the shell used to
- start Edge will be locked until edge is unloaded. This feature
- only works from shell and only if Edge hasn't been started
- already.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- -- v1.711, Wednesday 17-Nov-93 16:05:01
-
- # Fixed a bug in the window close routine, with outstanding rexx
- messages returning during close-down and good timing, Edge might
- crash.
-
- # Adjusted Menu_PlayNDefMac.edge and Menu_PlayMDefMac.edge ARexx
- scripts to handle the way _WE_ErrorLevel works.
-
- * The macro start/stop strings added by Edge is now accessable in
- the MiscTexts section in edge.texts. Macros recorded with Edge
- now have a primitive error handler.
-
- # Fixed problems with the text slider, not moving all the way to
- the top when the cursor was on line one.
-
- # Fixed update problems with 'ShowSpaces', not printing typed LFs.
-
- * Added a new variable - _WE_ErrorLevel; errors with a severity
- level less than _WE_ErrorLevel will be suppressed to zero. This
- variable is, just as the CTRL-C flag, set to 0 whenever an ARexx
- script is started by Edge. Also - the severity level on some of
- the level 5 errors have been adjusted.
-

- -- v1.706, Monday 08-Nov-93 22:03:47
-
- # Made the Install script always install the current menus,
- keyboard, mousebuttons and text configuration files. If you want
- to add to the menus, keyboard or mousebuttons file use their
- associated user files. You will notice that each of the
- configuration files does an include at the end of their file.
- Put your custom stuff at the end and we won't touch them.
- Promise :-).
-
- * Edge will now add 'signal on error' ..... 'error: exit rc' when
- recording a macro. This will cause the script to abort if an error
- occurs and make sure that the RC is reported back to the caller.
-
- # The CTRL-C flag is now only cleared by Edge when the user
- executes a command, e.g. the commands that check for CTRL-C will
- no longer clear the CTRL-C flag before doing their thing. This
- takes care of the problem with CheckAbort, being sluggish in
- response to CTRL-C.
-
- # Adjusted Menu_PlayNDefMac.edge rexx script to handle the new way
- CTRL-C is handled.
-
- * Added Menu_PlayMDefMac.edge rexx script and menu item. This
- script will execute the default macro until it has an error or
- CTRL-C is pressed. The help file was updated to reflect this
- new menu item.
-
- # Fixed multiple bugs in PutEnvVar, sometimes the result returned
- would be the result from the last command executed and not the
- previous contents of the affected variable, also - doing a
- PutEnvVar to the flag fields would not refresh the display
- properly.
-
- # Fixed a bug in Flag, which just as PutEnvVar sometimes returned
- the result from the last executed command and not the previous
- state of the affected flag.
-
- # It is now possible to use Quit, Close, Iconify, Clear and Open on
- a file in 'view only' mode, e.g. when the flag 'Editable' in
- _FE_Flags isn't set.
