History of Changes for the Zeus for Windows Programmers Editor ============================================================== Version 1.00 --------------- Initial release of the Zeus for Windows Version 1.00 Version 1.01 ------------ 1) Fixed: Problem with electric keyboard expansion. The electric listbox is case insensitive but the search was done as case sensitive. This meant the following expansion did not work. "T" 1 "TRUE" Note: That the keyboard expansion is still coded to be case sensitive. 2) Fixed: Tab characters where not being processed correctly in preprocessor string. For example the following would paint incorrectly. #ifdef 3) Fixed: Tab characters where not being processed correctly when place within strings. For example the following would paint incorrectly. "this is a string with a tab in it" 4) Added: Electric Expansion "\b" control character and changed search to limit words with delimiters characters also (ie "(ifg" would now expand out). 6) Added: Backup interval edit field to editor options dialog box. 7) Added: If Zeus is minimised and a file is opened by double clicking or dropping on the Zeus for windows icon (using the File Manager, Zeus file associations) then Zeus will be restored to normal size. 8) Added: The Open dialog now has persistence. It remembers the file extension filter last used (for the period of the edit session only). Version 1.02 ------------ 9) Added: New functions, Close, Close All and Save All added to the toolbar and Save All to the menu. 10) Added: Standard CUA keyboard mappings for cut, copy, paste and marking have been added to editor. 11) Added: Better use of the hourglass for operations requiring CPU time. 12) Added: Brief Ctrl-F5 toggle case sensitivity command. 13) Fixed: Shift-Tab and Tab of marked moves the area with tabs or spaces depending on the options editor "Replace tabs with space" option (old version would always use spaces). Version 1.03 ------------ 14) Fixed: Major problem with non US keyboard drivers now fixed. For example Zeus would cause crash if keyboard was set to German and an extended (Non ASCII) key was pressed. 15) Fixed: Problem with compiler not working over different disk drives. ie c:\zeus could not compile file located in e:\project. 16) Added: Error listbox font now matches the font selected for editing. This should allow more of the error message to be seen (in the case of very long error messages). 17) Fixed: When the compiler is run in minimized mode, Zeus for Windows does not loose active status any more (it use to switch to the program manager if it was visible). 18) Added: Brief Ctrl-K Kill to beginning of line command added. 19) Added: Multiple file selection to the File Open dialog box added. 20) Added: Extra messaging reporting added to the status line. 21) Added: Ability to define two file open and file save as filters was added to the editor setup dialog box. 21) Fixed: Problem found when a stream marked area that contained tabs characters was deleted or cut has been fixed. NOTE: Version 1.03 Frozen ========================= Sold first copy of Zeus for Windows V1.03 Editor. Zeus for Windows frozen at this version while work starts on the platform portable version of Zeus. Version 1.04 (Start of portable version) ---------------------------------------- 22) Fixed: Any multi select file open on any root directory (ie a:\\filename.txt) cause an error opening the selected files. 23) Fixed: Double click on error list box would loose the status bar error when the document was activated. Now the error is not lost on double click activation. 24) Fixed: Added feature to editor setup that enables the size of the newly created MDI window to be controled. 25) Fixed: Smart indenting in overwrite mode would delete characters from the line below. This has now been fixed. 26) Added: Goto dialog and bookmark dialog now remember the last valid value entered. This also gives better feedback via the status line. 27) Added: The Error listbox now supports a horizontal scroll bar. 28) Added: A Online Help QuickSearch feature was added to the Help menu popup. 29) Fixed: The compiler error processing has been reworked in an effort to remove a few strange bugs that would sometimes occur while compiler. Also a third parameter was added to the comand line passed to batch files while compiling (see online help for details). 30) Added: Added a new improved toolbar and status bar. It paints better, have less flicker and removes some of the keyboard problems (ie alt key does not work if the mouse pointer is on a toolbar button). 31) Added: Added a the ability to show and hide the toolbar and status bar using the menu options. 32) Fixed: Hitting backspace at with the cursor at column position 0 does not delete the character like it use to. 33) Fixed: Searching for whole words was not working. This is now fixed. 34) Fixed: The Replace dialog find and replace buttons where not working as would be expected. This has now been fixed. 35) Fixed: Reduced the amount of screen flicker when opening and closing the MDI windows. 36) Fixed: Added error message if you try to compile a file that is changed and somehow becomes write protected. Previously Zeus would just abort the compile without an error. 37) Fixed: Zeus would let you start mutiple compiles while the first compile was in progress. This eventually caused the system to GPF. Zeus has been fixed, so that it only allows one compile at a time. 38) Added: The error window now supports the Control+Minus key (or file close menu) option. If the error windows contains compiler output the control minus returns you to the file that had been compiled and so it behaves like a revesrse to the Control+P list errors keystroke. 39) Fixed: The Open and Save As file dialog where modeless. The have now been made modal to the main application. 40) Added: The file restore at startup now restores the file and the line number on startup. 41) Added: The insert/overwrite now have proper insert and overwrite carets (cursors) respecively, giving better visual feedback on the current insert mode. 42) Fixed: The highlight code will highlight quoted strings differently to normal text. This algorithm would work for the first quoted string but not for the second of two quoted strings on the same line. For example: VALUE "CompanyName", "Xidicone Pty Ltd", "Zeus for Windows" for the line above Atl-h would correctly highlight the first but not the second or second strings. It now works correctly for all strings. 43) Added: The compile process now reports if the compile was successful, has warnings or has errors on the status line message field. Previously it only reported the compile was complete. 44) Fixed: If the Enter key was hit while text was highlighted, the highlighted text was not replaced by the enter key. This has now been fixed (NOTE: this ONLY applies when the editor is in insert mode).
