- BUG HISTORY, AND WHAT'S NEW
-
- DosFS Filing System:
- -------------------
-
- 1.00 (27-Jun-1989): Upgrading from Arthur (DosFS 0.29) to RISC OS.
- 1.01--1.02 : Some (fairly significant) speed improvements were made.
- 1.03 : The second copy of the FAT was not updated correctly,
- which gave errors on the Atari ST; volume labels
- (which are just invisible file names in the root
- directory) could be deleted and copied onto.
- 1.04 (11-Oct-1989): The first file on a disc could be saved incorrectly.
- 1.05 (03-Mar-1990): File type expansion hooked up the stack in some
- cases, which caused all filers to die.
- --
- 1.10 (19-May-1990): Renumbering because version numbers were completely
- mixed up. First release of Filer2.
- 1.11 (05-Jun-1990): The time conversion routine could return with the
- V-flag set as a result of the last computation.
- This caused an error condition and subsequent
- non-functioning of DosFS today -- an error which
- would have repeated every 497 days.
- 1.12 (16-Jun-1990): Count dosfs:$ now works ok ($ could not be found).
- 1.13 (20-Sep-1990): Access translation of directories changed from DL
- (an anachronism) to D, allowing them to be deleted
- (with check if directory empty). Corrected: *BytesFree.
- Some operations were still possible on the volume label.
-
- --COMPLETELY NEW VERSION-- [Test release 1.20a 04-Sep-1990]
-
- 1.20 (15-Oct-1990): Speed increase in multiple file operations and operations
- on subdirectories.
- Added: *DosMap, *FileInfo (shows 1st cluster) *DosVolume,
- full disc name support based on volume labels, wildcards,
- current directory. Major addition: implementation of
- byte-operations (Open, Close, BPut, BGet, Args). In
- particular the filer now also works in a full desktop,
- where copying used to fail because the Filer reverted to
- byte-ops. In some cases error messages are made more
- helpful (not always possible if Risc-OS Filer itself
- gives them). Subdirectories of arbitrary length
- supported.
- Corrected: Loading and saving of files whose sizes are
- multiples of 1024 bytes (this was serious!).
-
-
- Filer2:
- ------
-
- 2.5 (11-Aug-1990): Title of command window for *BytesFree did not show
- "BytesFree", because of the use of Basic function OSCLI.
- 2.60 (07-Oct-1990): Added: DosFS 1.20 DosMap and DosVolume. In directory
- viewers disc name appears (if present), so you can
- have multiple windows open. Automatic file typing
- added using system variables.
- 2.61 (20-Oct-1990): RAMFetch and handling of mouse clicks corrected.

- Thanks to the very few who pointed out bugs in DosFS to me.
