- EE v0.9.2 - Read Me First Doc
- -----------------------------
-
- Here you'll find warnings and caveats for the beta release of EE v0.9.2,
- which, being beta, has changes and new features that should be watched
- particularly, and may have some bugs or quirks that need ironing out.
-
- - ARexx works, sorta kinda. At least it doesn't crash consistently
- anymore. I've included EE.rx, the test suite script I've been using
- to show what functions have been tested and how I've tested them.
- Also included is an autodocs lookup script ADocLookup.rx, thanks to
- Gregor Goldbach for writing the first draft and giving me something
- fancy to inspire me to work on it again. And there's lock.rx and
- unlock.rx which can be used from a shell and act on the active EE
- window.
-
- - Macros are fixed now, durn it! I finally found some time to play with
- and test them. They playback, save, load, clear, all without crashing
- or hanging, and without any flakey behaviour. I've even cooked up
- that ListMacros util I semi-sorta promised. :)
-
- - There is a new util UpgradePrefs to upgrade v0.8 prefs files to v0.9,
- yay!!!
-
- - Really fixed the load binary problems, I believe. I traced it to the
- call to EasyRequestArgs() which was quitting for some unfathomable
- reason.
-
- - New function "Tall Window", assigned to LAmiga-t by default. Use it,
- love it, and tell me how much you absolutely cannot live without this
- function! :)
-
- - Reworked "Edit Prefs" and PrefsEditor, should be no more "LSEG"
- exceptions, locking up, etc.
-
- - No more ReqTools dependency for file and font reqs. Reqs should
- center on parent window. Use ChangeReq if you want 'em back. I'm
- thinking real hard about abandoning ReqTools entirely in lieu of
- EasyGUI. I've never liked my search n replace reqs anyways.
-
- - Speeded up Save. It's now nearly twice as fast, and I'll be tweaking
- it a little more, making it even faster, yeh!
-
- - Enabled calling macros from within macros. The called macro is
- expanded inside the caller, so there's no problems with dependent
- macros choking if a supporting macro is redefined.
