HISTORY OF NEWSY CHANGES BETWEEN VERSIONS

Changes from 0.23 to 1.0
========================

1. Ported from Smalltalk/V for Win32 2.0 to Visual Smalltalk 3.0. 
   Disk I/O is perhaps 25% faster.  The program uses much less memory
   than before (about 2M less).

2. When searching headers for pattern, permit the search to include the
   header keyword and following space.

3. When the initial Login Dialog is displayed, also display an unused
   Mail Browser.  This is a kludge to prevent Windows from locking if
   you try to use Alt+Tab to switch from the Login Dialog to some other
   Windows app.

4. New feature: Article and email selection capability has been enhanced.
   You can now select all articles or email which do NOT match your pattern.

5. Panes which display text now use the arrow keys and page up/down keys
   to modify the cursor in accordance with standard Windows practice.

6. Whenever prompted for a mail folder name, the user is presented with
   a list of existing mail folder names to choose from.

7. The List Order Editor (the dialog box which is displayed when you re-order
   your newsgroups, for example) is now sized properly; it no longer is too
   tall for the screen.

8. The Settings menus in the Mail Browser and News Browser have been
   renamed to Options to make it conform to Windows conventions. The
   Editing Font... selection in those menus have been removed. That
   option has been moved to the Font... selection of the new Options
   menu on the Mail and Message Editor (where it belonged in the first
   place). The Mail and Message Editors' Option menu also includes word
   wrap settings which were formerly on the Editors' Edit menu.

9. You can now Print one or more messages or articles.  Margin settings are
   available from the Options menu.

10. Fixed mail browser to gracefully handle the case when received
    message has no From:, Sender:, etc. header.

11. When creating a new email or news article, the dialog box which prompts
    you to fill in requested headers will now set the focus on the first unfilled
    field.

12. The mail and news filter editors' bottom set of radio buttons now display
    and work properly.

    Also modified behavior of news filters so that the "Save to Mail
    Folder" action has become "Save to Mail Folder and Catch Up". This
    prevents saving multiple copies to a mail folder when the newsgroup
    is selected, unselected, and selected once again. (Each selection
    causes the filters to be executed.)

13. When you delete messages from the mail folder displayed by the Mail Browser,
    the Mail Browser defers doing an update of the corresponding disk files until
    you close the Mail Browser or select another folder for viewing.

14. When Auto Wrap is enabled in the Mail Browser or News Browser, the horizontal
    scroll bar is removed because it's no longer required.

15. Mail Browser no longer generates a runtime error when attempting to create
    a new mail folder with a name longer than 8 characters.

16. Modified creation of the Pathname: header in news articles so it conforms to
    proper convention. (Former method caused the FX rnews program to fail to post
    articles.)

17. Message and Article Editors' last window position and width are now remembered.

18. Changed Newsy-generated Message-ID to include some static part which
    will identify the user agent as Newsy.

19. Modified access to user's Mailbox so that the mail transport and Newsy both
    don't try to write to the Mailbox at the same time.  Newsy will display a
    dialog box if necessary, telling the user to try again later.

20. If Newsy is closed while the Mail Browser or News Browser is iconified, the
    Browser's remembered size/position will be the values applied upon startup
    of this Newsy session.

21. The user's NEWSY.INI file is now a true Windows INI file (a text file) rather
    than the binary form used previously.  Users of Newsy 0.23 will lose their
    current settings, but Newsy 1.0 will override the old NEWSY.INI file with the
    new format.

22. Newsy now comprehends usage of the "backbone" news site for accepting moderated
    postings for moderated groups that don't have a uniquely-defined moderator
    address.

23. Error no longer occurs if a signature file does not exist.

24. Added "Select All" entry in the popup menu for all edit fields. 
    Edit fields for address headers (To:, cc:, etc.) are now 64000
    characters long; edit fields for other headers are 1000 characters long.

25. Modified sendmail.bat and Newsy so email to multiple recipients is
    more quickly queued for mailing, and with fewer queued files.

26. Added author's name and email address to the Newsy "About" dialog box.

27. This Address Book Editor bug has been fixed: Modified an existing alias'
    contents in the bottom pane. Then select another alias. A Dialog box pops
    up asking if I want to save the changes. I say yes, but the changes are
    not saved, and the alias selection does not change to my new
    selection.  Now the changes are saved correctly.

28. Save the window size, window location, word wrap column, and word
    wrap state of the message editor.
