WHATSNEW.TXT: New WinU Features

WinU Version 3.02, released September 23, 1996

   Added the Exit button type.  If created on the desktop by the
   administrator, user can exit WinU by clicking on the button.  Like
   all buttons, it can be password-protected.  In Super Security mode,
   Exit and Shutdown buttons will both shut down Windows 95.

   Added the Shutdown button type.  If created on the desktop by the
   administrator, user can shut down the computer by clicking on the button.
   Like all buttons, it can be password-protected.  In Super Security
   mode, Exit and Shutdown buttons will both shut down Windows 95. 

   Added button option: AutoRun This Program At Desk Logon.  This starts 
   the program at desk logon.

   Added button option: Keep Program Running Until Desk Logoff.  This 
   starts the program at desk logon, and restarts it if necessary to 
   ensure that it is always running while in that desk.

   Desktop buttons refresh and redisplay faster.

   Desktop scrollbar works better.

   Cumulative time now being tested in a more accurate way.

   Added 'Are you sure' dialog, displayed only when password is not 
   required to exit WinU, to give a user the chance to recover from
   accidentally hitting the titlebar X button.  

   Added code to give a shortcut to Dial-Up Networking special handling
   which makes it work more reliably from the WinU desktop.

   Fixed bug: status bar clock did not handle No Date setting correctly.  

   Fixed bug: didn't always handle MS-DOS Mode programs correctly.


WinU Version 3.01, released September 16, 1996

   Removed artifacts left over from the beta version


WinU Version 3.0, released September 16, 1996

   Easier system administration, especially when managing a fleet of 
   WinU machines on a network: clone-able buttons, desks, or entire
   installations, centrally managed password and timeout control, 
   more detailed event logging, built-in usage reports and graphs.  
   More flexible visual interface options (wallpaper, button styles, 
   show/hide the menu and toolbar).  Attach sound to WinU events.  
   New navigation element: DeskLink buttons.  Can now run Shortcuts, 
   including shortcuts to printers or other Win95 components.  
   Inactivity timout.  Cleaner tabbed-dialog interface.  Status bar.  
   Ultra-robust Kiosk Mode for the most demanding public-access 
   situations.  Built-in Explorer window for when you need access to 
   the full computer (with password control of course).  Much better 
   when tracking modem-using apps.  Blockout periods: times when 
   nothing on that desk will run (for example "Every Tuesday 9 pm to 
   11 pm" or "Every weekday 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm").  Can disable 
   CD-ROM autorun.  QuickNotes, so you can attach a little message 
   to a logfile record when exiting a program (perhaps for billing 
   purposes). And the proverbial Much More.


WinU Version 2.0, released January 31, 1996

   color, keyboard control, highlighted focus button, right-click
   Properties screens for buttons and desktops, can run multiple

   Help system, more.
