Hello all.
I have just released a new version of Frost (22-Nov-2004 dev). Do not=20
expect significant changes from the previous one (actually the changed are=
=20
pretty small). However, releasing this new version was necessary because a=
=20
significant incompatibility with Freenet since version 5099 has been fixed.
These are the release notes:
This release contains two versions: one for Java 1.5 (the files whose names=
=20
end
in -15) and the other one for Java 1.4 (the files whose names end in -14).=
The
features of both are the same, but the 1.5 version should have slight=20
performance
improvements, as well as a slightly reduced memory usage.
=09
To install:
=09
- If you have Java 1.5: unzip the file called frost-22-Nov-2004-15.zip in=
the
directory where you have Frost installed.
=09
- If you have Java 1.4: unzip the file called frost-22-Nov-2004-14.zip in=
the
directory where you have Frost installed.
=09
In both cases all your settings, messages, etc... will be preserved but=20
making a
backup of your Frost directory prior to updating it is recommended just in=
=20
case
something goes wrong.
And this is the change log:
Changes since version 28-May-2004 dev:
Added: a title to the "Enabled" column of the downloads table.
Added: country flags to the language menu.
Added: now the user can choose which columns the search, download and=
upload
tables should show. That selection is made via a contextual menu=
that
pops up when right clicking on the table header.
Added: French translation vastly updated (thanks to RapHHfr).
Added: Message upload failed dialog internationalized.
Added: Option added to the preferences to disable the message upload failed
dialog. If disabled, Frost will retry to send it without asking=20
the user.
Added: attachment split panes of the main frame internationalized.
Added: several French forums to the hierarchy that comes by default.
Added: option to the popup menu of the message body to copy the selected=
text
to the clipboard.
Changed: splash screen logo replaced by a new one (thanks to Fr=E9d=E9ric=
Scheer).
Changed: when you are sending an anonymous message, the @ character is no=20
longer
allowed as part of the from field.
Bugfix: when the text in the "Name" column of the uploads table is written=
in
bold and it doesn't fit in the cell it isn't cropped correctly.=
Fixed
now (it no longer uses HTML internally to display it in bold).
Bugfix: The message upload failed dialog works now. Some strings were=
missing
from the language resource. (thanks to SSY)
Bugfix: From Freenet 5099 on, keywords may be longer than 64 characters.=20
Thanks
to mxbee for reporting it.
Bugfix: The HopsToLive parameter must be in hexadecimal. Thanks to mxbee.
Bugfix: With Java 1.5, the attachment split panes of both the main and the
message frames were not working well.
I hope you like it. Kind regards.
