- v0.02
-
- Updates since 0.01:
-
- - 'HotSpot files' - allows 'hotspots' on sprites or drawfiles, which you
- can click on to go to the appropriate subject.
- - The mouse pointer changes to a hand when it is over a link
- - I've discovered that I can distribute the DrawFile module with the prog.
- - There is now a history button
- - Lots of bug fixes & speed improvements
- - Can now read articles in from file only as it needs them (add '-file' to
- the end of the !Run file - CASE SENSITIVE). This keeps any articles in
- memory as they are loaded.
- - text alignment commands added
-
- v0.03
-
- Bug fixes since 0.02:
-
- - Fixed nasty bug which happens when a link is on the end of a line
- - Fixed bug in 'read from file' code which makes the thing go 'bleagh'
- if you try to read the last article. This will attempt to fix old
- files, but I recommend that you recompile to take full advantage of
- the fix.
- - Fixed 'multiple fonts on a line' bug
- - Fixed bug that prevents sprites & drawfiles from being links
- - (maybe not a bug...) if a font cannot be found, it automatically replaces
- it with Trinity.Medium, and if THAT can't be found, it reports an error
- and gives up.
-
- Updates since 0.02:
-
- - LINK can now use article names as well as numbers
- - Now features 'minimum memory' mode (add '-min' to the end of the !Run
- file - last line should read '<Hiper$Dir>.!RunImage *%*0 -file -min')
- This keeps all but the page you are viewing on the disc.
- - ability to use *-commands in the help file
- - XPOS and INDENT added
- - top panes added (MerkySoft eat yer heart out...)
- - ability to run *-commands added
-
- To be done:
-
- - icon bar installation
- - 'articles in more than one file' support (you could do it yourself now
- that I've provided some uncompressed source code)
- - multiple files in memory support
-
- v1.01 - RSDFS door
-
- v1.02
-
- Bug fixes since 0.03:
-
- Er, none.
-
- Updates sinces 0.03:
-
- - new-style user interface (ergonomic!)
- - 'door' support for help file conversion
- - hopefully, icon bar business.
- - context sensitive messages
- - reduced memory consumption (64k!)
-
- v1.10
-
- Bug fixes since 1.02:
-
- - Bug on RISC PC now definately fixed
- - Desquashing compressed help files now works slightly better...
- - RISC OS 3.60 SpriteExtension (bug?) workaround added
-
- Updates since 1.02:
-
- - Compressed file format 2 introduced (Run HelpSplat2 to compress HelpOut in
- this new format) - this allows more efficient use of memory, as articles
- can be loaded in individually.
- - Help compiler now works in hi-res modes (if available)
- - Help compiler has quite a few new features. (Styles...)
- - Better handling of history list
- - Colours in fonts handled in a much nicer manner... (the end of the attack of
- the multicoloured text?)
-
- v1.15
-
- Bug fixes since 1.10:
-
- - None really
-
- Updates since 1.10:
-
- - Improved handling of a few things (less chance of desquashing messing up)
- - Hi-res/lo-res sprites added (I haven't had time to document this in the
- compiler reference. Basically the format is 'SPRITEHI <arthi> <artlo>
- <name>', where <arthi> is the hi-res sprite and <artlo> is the lo-res
- sprite. I'm sure you'll work it all out eventually.
- - Official filetype (&13a) and message block (&4d5c0) are now in operation!
- So now you have no excuse not to use Hiper in your own productions. Yes,
- all names are registered as well.
- - Printing now works across more than one page (at the request of Lindis
- International...)
