=====================================================================
Full changes history since early alpha versions
===============================================
(changes before Version 0.198alpha have been removed)
0.199
-----
- now properly prefixes signatures with "-- \n" instead of "--\n"
- major crash when the level of thread indentation was "too high";
it now "wraps" the tree when the thread nests too often
- fixed a rather nasty hits orgy/crash when trying to send mails
without having a newsgroup in the group list
- fixed a bug with retrieving the group list -- when the server
was too lame to understand "LIST NEWSGROUPS", a spurious error
message showed up. Also, newsgroups not listed by those comments
weren't shown at all, instead of simply having no description.
0.200
-----
- SMTP send will now silently convert 8bit text to quoted printable
when the receiving SMTP demon is too lame to understand ESMTP
8BITMIME bodies. You wouldn't expect this in 1997, really.
- added new Rexx command "ExtractSelectedMsgs FILE,PARTS,APPEND/S"
to extract currently selected messages into a file. File defaults
to the username part of the From:, PARTS is either "0"
for the whole message (default) or a part number.
0.201
-----
- ExtractSelectedMsgs PARTS is now a /Keyword, to avoid messup
with missing filenames
- ExtractSelectedMsgs will now always call upon the standard
save parts filerequester, unless NOREQ switch is given.
- fixed SMTP send crash
- fixed outgoing quoted-printable encoding
- fixed MIME header encoding
0.202
-----
- will now support NList.mcc if installed (V19+)
- fixed aborting of search
- fixed fuzzy index searching
- fixed ExtractSelectedMsgs abort
- ExtractSelectedMsgs now also works in the message
index
- fixed flags for arexx message call so that internal
button command syntax is similar to "rx"
- added new menu item, arexx command "DownloadSelected"
to download all selected messages and store them in
the database. Only works in the message list.
0.203
-----
- now generates X-Priority: and Precedence: headers
from the "Priority" cycle in the new message window
- now parses X-Priority: header for incoming mails
(meeting the Eudora "standard")
- now shows the message Priority in the message overview
in a new column

in the directional buttons
- it's now possible to dragselect entries in the group
and message lists
- news-on-demand download window now opens again when
fetching article takes longer than 2 seconds
- fixed prefs window page listview
- network get now saves all the messages indexes more
often to prevent index loss due to system crashes
0.204
-----
- fixed prefs window
- fixed command calling (again)
- calling MIMEPrefs from the menu now works
- now properly supports MIMEPrefs based viewing
0.205
-----
- fixed opening of fonts
- groupmanager window now supports multiselect
again
- added UseOldStyleLists tooltype/shell arg
to disable usage of nlist.mcc
- will now DELE mail on the server if it's
already there locally
- added new ultra hyper cool mail filtering system
(see Prefs/Message filters). Old filters will no
longer be used, but are silently converted
to new filters on first start. Note:
Execute and Forward To are currently dysfunctional,
and the filters are only applied to mail ATM.
(bah, so much work for 6 lines of history
entry)
- fixed mouse drag select not properly activating
"multi select" mode for further operations
0.206
-----
- actually, "Contains" behaved like "Is". Lame
bug.
0.207
-----

parameters)
- now permits blanks in group names

-----
- fixed background filling in grouplist/msglist,
and column button widths in msglist

clipboard in the reader window
0.209
-----
- added auto-mail polling (currently fixed to
5 minutes)
- it's now possible to rename existant
newsgroups and mail folders
- fixed lame bug in forward-without-edit: the first
textual part of the message wasn't properly dumped;
instead of the body, the header was dumped a
second time.
0.210
-----
- delete flag now has a red led in the message
reader flags line
- now calls MimePrefs with proper PUBSCREEN argument
- now uses improved high speed textlen/textfit routines
for much faster reader text layout

0.211
-----
- fixed mime type matching

MIMEPrefs being installed in AmIRC's directory
- fixed "Filters converted" warning requester
- now utilizes MIME prefs to assign a mime type
to autoconverted uuencoded stuff by the filename
extension

which don't announce 8BITMIME capability on initial
handshake
- no longer marks message as sent when SMTP/NNTP
failed for some reason

0.213
-----
- fixed transparent connection reestablishment for
"read-on-demand" mode when the server connection
has timed out for some reason
- auto mail poll will now check for the existance
of (bsd)socket.library and silently skip the
poll if the lib isn't found. Fixes annoying "Need
a TCP/IP stack, sucker!" requester when stack
is offline.
- hopefully once and for all fixed the rexx command
passing
- will now send a inform line to active AmIRC's
if new mail arrives
- reader: parts listview no longer becomes the window
default object when clicked, thus doesn't effectivly
disable the keyboard navigation anymore
- serious bug: on a first time installation or when
changing the data directory, MD would fail to create
the data directory when it had a trailing slash,
thus effectivly nuking the database and all mails
sorted into it. As "PROGDIR:Data/" is the internal
preset, this happened on all first time installations.
0.214
-----
- fixed count in pop gauge for leave mail on server mode
- fixed sending of just every other news/mail on send
- "Move To" window no longer has a bogus scroller when
using NList.mcc
0.215
-----
- filter settings: reworked filter list layout
- filter settings: fixed object disabling problems
- general: now saves last used dir to ENV(ARC):Vapor/MD2_LASTUSEDDIR
- grouplist/msglist: when dragging the mouse below any actual
entry and releasing it, drag state wasn't cleared

-----
- nntp: added NNTP authentication support (USER/PASS)
0.217
-----
- gui: removed excess "s" from reader window titles :)

MD-2 in "mail write mode"
- init: added new shell args MessageID/K,GroupName/K to start
MD-2 in "news read mode"
- gui: fixed a offset problem in the reader window text marking
which caused the first char to be always unmarked
- nntp: NNTP authentication is now also performed when
posting an article <blush>
- pop3: fixed a funny problem with MD-2 reporting the numeric
part of an username (if any) as the number of queued messages,
instead of the real number.
0.218
-----
- prefs: no longer prepends autoconverted "old style" filters
with "Autoconv_"
- gui: did various layout cleanups
- gui: "Send" and "Store" in the new mail window now work
as expected; "Send" will immediately call upon the SMTP
send module, whereas "Store" will only queue the message.
Also invented a new mail flag which is only available
in the SPOOL group named "Hold"
0.219
-----
- cmd: fixed a load of problems with the ExtractSelectedMsgs
command
0.220
-----
- general: multiple accounts now work (gee, so few words
for such a huge change :)
- prefs: did general prefs cleanup to accomodate multiple accounts
- net: now properly supports the Genesis IsOnline() API and will
skip network operations when no interface is up. The "Send"
button in new messages now also turns to "Queue" when IsOnline()
says FALSE.
- gui: new message window now has a "Face?" checkbox to include
the selected X-Face:
0.221
-----
- net: fixed a serious bug in the x-face generation. Note:
In order to fix this bug, you absolutely MUST reload the
x-face images in accounts prefs! Also, delete any stale
message with X-Faces in »SPOOL, otherwise send will not
proceed.
- net: check for IsOnline() during SMTP/POP was too late
and would leave a stale window open if offline was
detected
- gui: will now start out with the current Genesis user
account (can be turned off in accounts prefs)
- prefs: when there are settings missing in an account and you
want to get mail for this account, MD pops up the wrong prefs
window (should be accounts prefs, not general)
- prefs: group editor was hosed for accounts != 0
- net: outgoing mail messages now have the message-id changed
from the internally stored, thus they are downloaded again
0.222
-----
- net: now changes the "global" Genesis user account when
switching between accounts within MD-2
- net: when switching an account and failing to login, the
wrong username would be displayed in the poplist gadget
- db: fixed the bug that cleanup database in one account
would kill all messages in other accounts. Also rewrote
db cleanup to use much less memory than before.
- gui: fixed flag setting bug (Forward/Replied)
- gui: fixed account popup sizing problems
0.223
-----
- db: serious bug: when switching accounts, possibly pending
index files were not written to disk properly and thus
got lost
0.224
-----
[internal]
0.225
-----
- gui: now buttons will clip their text if they are not wide
enough. Should fix MD-2 not opening or even crashing on
systems which don't have a narrow proportional font installed
for some obscure reason (e.g. helvetica/9)
- gui: now button shorthelp no longer includes "_" in label names
- gui: now disables account select button during network
operations
- gui: fixed problems with language names in signature prefs
- gui: fixed "Marking used messages" gauge progress (it was
counting individual messages, not groups, although max
was set to the group count). Also much faster now.
- net: NNTP module didn't accept a "201 no posting" response
from NNTP servers
- prefs: serious bug in prefs ID handling caused the filters
for the second and following accounts to be the same as the
ones for the first account, missing accountname entries.
0.226
-----
- prefs: filter window still had the wrong title
- gui: account switching is now disabled during every
operation which affects the current account (e.g.
prefs changes)
- gui: fixed longstanding bug: when multiselecting messages
or groups and performing an operation which caused
deselection, internal "select mode" flag wasn't cleared
0.227 - 0.236
-------------
[left out due rev screwup]
0.237
-----
- prefs: when writing back filter settings after changing
filter prefs, all filters even from other accounts got
deleted.
0.238
-----
- net: now deals with genesis.library being installed, but
a different TCP/IP stack actually running
- newmsg: won't puke due to lack of Data dir anymore
0.239
-----
- net: added special handling of case of a server not
responding at all, probably due to tcpd locking or stuff
0.240
-----
- newmsg: removed a stale Delay( 100 ); in handling sending
private mails. WTF was *this* from?
- newmsg: now own mails are properly feed through all filters
as well
- groupmanager: now keeps individual group lists for every
account
- rexx: ReplySelectedMsgs now has an optional parameter "All"
to include previous Cc: recipiants in the new message.
Also added new menu item for that.

0.244
-----

when the nntp server name was modified.
- net: the "Execute" filter action now works. A path to the
message is passed as an argument to the called function.
0.245
-----
- gui: fixed "Empty trash"
- gui: fixed a few problems with the "marked" state of
groups/messages not being properly tracked. Hm, I thought
I fixed this before?
0.246
-----
- db: after saving indexes, MD-2 wasn't resetting the
"changed" flag, thus causing excessive saving of
indexes even if not necessary. Crap, and a waste of time.
This was basically the reason for MD-2 seemingly
taking ages to send a single mail <ahem>
- db: increased maximum write buffer sizes for writing
indexes, to speed up saving a bit more
0.247
-----
- GUI: added "Copy self?" gadget to new message window
to disable cloning of messages to the PRIV folder
or other groups. State is saved when window is closed.
- db: fixed a funny bug which would cause the DEL
flag to be lost when message indexes were saved
during reading a group (i.e. due to a new message
poll)
- GUI: account selector now is a cycle gadget again
- prefs: added experimental "deleted account" flag.
Will hide account in the main selector (more cleanup

PGP 2.x.x and PGP 5.x and set prefs accordingly,
on first start.

and "PGPExtractKeysSelected" rexx command to
extract PGP keys from selected messages in

(was pgpk instead of pgpv)

If existant, MD2 will ask user for passphrase
and pass it down to PGP. Options for
remembering passphrase throughout the session or
even save it to prefs.
- PGP: implemented PGP View (only accessible from
within the reader). Will show PGP/MIME messages
or plain text within the reader, or automatically
offer save file when it's a binary file.
0.250
-----
- Prefs/PGP: added "Set PGP2.x defaults" and
"Set PGP5.x defaults" buttons for
people who screwed up their config :)

0.256
-----
- GUI: updated about window with logo et.all.
- General: now uses new cryptographic keyfiles

after PASS/APOP
- GUI: will now warn when trying to quit with
open new message windows
- NET: fixed a buffer overflow in header
handling which could cause crashes under certain
cirumstances

bodysize miscalculated, leading to the MIME delimiter
line being considered part of the message part
0.260
-----
- GUI: group popup list was created with a Newlist object
as parent and thus didn't work
- GUI: nagging window could appear twice during quit
- GUI: "Forward without editing" wouldn't trigger
an SMTP send session

and button to group selector to start a browser
with the group's FAQ archive on rtfm.mit.edu
- General: string table got messed up in the
0.260 compile

Robert Reiswig
1.1.1
-----
- Netconnect version: Fixed login verification on
account change
- NNTP: synchronous (online) reader wouldn't recover
from a ARTICLE not found error properly,
and repeatly issue that error
- GUI: Grouplist/Msglist object could do an illegal
RectFill() under certain circumstances, thus nuking
heavily on AGA
- GUI: fixed a funny layout quirk in single window
mode which could effectivly cause MD2 to layout
objects with negative X positions, causing
general havoc
- DB: To/Cc/Bcc popup lists would leave a stale
file in T: around
1.1.2
-----
- SMTP: the EHLO/8BITMIME fix from 0.262 was
broken and would use 8BITMIME only if the
server did NOT announce this capability. Argh.
- GUI: added "Mail download manager", which
gets an POP3 overview, shows mails in a list
and allows to individually get/ignore/delete
them
1.1.3
-----
- SMTP: would not escape leading dots properly
under all circumstances
1.1.4
-----
- GUI: x-face display wasn't centered properly
by not taking inner spacing into account.
- GUI: x-face is now displayed on the right margin
of the reader window, not eating up that much
display space
- GUI: fixed group button madly overwriting
window borders under certain circumstances
- GUI: fixed mutex bits in the "single window mode"
menu items
- Reader: now uses vapor_toolkit to scan
for URLs. Should better catch mail addresses
etc.

database cleanup due to a buffer overflow
1.2.2
-----
- Net: added "Esoteric" page to network settings,
allowing users to change the ports used for
SMTP, POP3 and NNTP connects.
- DB: when fetching messages and an index wasn't
loaded into memory, MD-2 wouldn't close the
buffered index file, thus potentially losing data
when the system crashed while downloading.
- Net: will now save overall transient data structures
after doing a network fetch (to avoid message
number mismatchs when crashing -- although this
was not really a problem, because the numbers in
the group index are recovered when entering
a group)
1.2.3
-----
- Net: Status window will now show the "login"
message of the relevant service which was contacted
- Net: Download manager will now issue a pop3 LIST
command to get the size of the messages in question
when necessary (aka, size wasn't returned with the TOP)
- Net: Modified handling of UIDL history. Now UIDL.history
is only written when "DELETE MAIL ON SERVER" is turned
off (makes no sense otherwise), and the new UIDLs are only
written until after the complete message fetch is done
(to avoid MD-2 skipping messages during the next fetch
which were lost due to a system crash)
- GUI: Message reader now uses Textinput "NoInput" objects
for the info lines, thus allowing copy&paste
1.2.4
-----
- Net: fixed obscure behavior when a news server
would do a "NEXT" properly, but then bail out on
the following "ARTICLE" with some internal error.
In that case, MD-2 would abort the news fetch and
store an invalid article pointer, thus refetching
the group from scratch next time.
- GUI: "Default address" in group prefs is now
only available for mail sub groups
1.3
---
- added updated vapor_toolkit.library to release
archive
- added updated vapor_registration.library to release

to make printer.device issue proper initialization
requests (esspecially for network printing)

1.3.2
-----
- GUI: fixed a NULL object reference in group list
makeview (would happen if checking/sending mail
while inside a group)
- Net: will now only store NNTP article counters
after a successfull fetch. Should fix problems
with nntp servers which return a valid number
on NEXT, but puke on the ARTICLE
1.3.3
-----
- Net: fixed excess refreshing of network info
window during NNTP fetch
- GUI: "mailto:" URL parser now understands
Subject= and Body= "arguments"
- GUI: forward info window should now open even
with excess To: etc. lines
- Net: forward without editing will now remove
ALL X- headers (caused problems with X-Loop:
detection done by some mail bots)
1.3.4
-----
- Net: POP3 now sends an extra LIST before RETR
to obtain the real message size even with pop3ds
which don't return the size on RETR (grrr)
- GUI: "Esoteric" prefs changes would only be
saved if another prefs item was changed, too.
1.3.5
-----
- Net: NNTP "headers only" mode didn't store
the NNTP article pointer, thus always
fetching news groups from scratch. Eeek.
1.3.6
-----
- GUI: newly created accounts had bogus
values in the "esoteric" page port values
(this nicely interacted with the broken
saving fixed in 1.3.4)
- GUI: fake root messages are now removed
when they don't contain any more childs
- GUI: fake root messages are no longer
viewed in flat message view
- GUI: newly created fake root messages
would not be properly sorted by date
- DB: db_loadheader() would nuke for
a header total size of >16k
1.3.7
-----
- Net: will now ignore "-ERR no messages
in mailbox" replies to the initial
LIST
- Net: NULL ptr reference when converting
dates with an unknown time zone
1.3.8
-----
- GUI: "Reply Header" signature button didn't
had shorthelp
- GUI: new message window now has TI email style
(requires TI 21.0+)
- Prefs: prefs list could be hosed on low memory
conditions
- GUI: clicking on TI mailto: links is now
handled internally
1.3.9
-----
- GUI: changed "disk size" gauge handling to
avoid overflows on large partitions (which
