Pre-Release 0.25, 01.09.97
New Features:
- Warp Enhancer is now also available in German. Language can be selected using the General tab in the settings notebook. Other languages will be added in the next versions.
Fixed Problems:
- Hide mouse pointer did hide the pointer even when it was not turned on. Pointer sometimes did not reappear immediately.
- Restart system using the enhanced shutdown dialog will save the settings of WPS and terminate all running programs properly.
- No move and size when window is maximized prevented the user to select/activate the window using a mouse click.
- Timeout check has been totally removed. Warp Enhancer will never expire and no message will never annoy any user.
Pre-Release 0.23, 01.07.97
New Features:
o Mouse pointer can be hidden after a
certain period of inactivity.
o Tracking of mouse button 3 can simulate
scrolling up and down. Should work for most
standard OS/2 applications. This should help
you to avoid buying certain mice from dubious
vendors...
o Added extra shutdown page for system shutdown
dialog replacement settings. Also added shutdown
messages from some foreign OS/2 versions. Please
send me screenshots of your WarpCenter shutdown
dialog and desktop shutdown message if you have
a different language version of your OS/2!
o State of Numlock key can be altered by pressing
the Numlock key. Either Numlock is off or it is
permanently on.
o Extended the use of mouse button 3 simulates
double click with mouse button 1. This feature
now works for WinOS/2 sessions (seamless, for
fullscreen get new Windows mouse driver).
o Extension sort now also appears in folder menu
bar (before only in folder context menu).
o Added new VIO/DOS page in settings. This page
allows you to configure functions related to
OS/2 and DOS windows.
o Extended marking for VIO/DOS windows. This
automatically copies selected text into the
clipboard when you release the mouse button.
For Warp 3 users, this provides them with the
marking functions known from Warp 4 (+ automatic
copying of selected text).
o Quick paste. This allows you to paste the content
of the clipboard into a VIO/DOS window by simply
double clicking mouse button 1.
Fixed Problems:
o When the WPS crashed and was automatically restarted,
Warp Enhancer caused the system to hang. WE will now
automatically be closed on a WPS crash.
o Excluding desktop window now works with WarpCenter
at the bottom of the screen.
o Fixed bug where calling "Calculate Folder Size"
without the status bar turned on caused a SYS3175
- Known Problems:
o When closing WE with a status bar on the desktop
window, there may be a short "hang" of the system.
Pre-Release 0.20, 11.05.97
New Features:
o Numlock key can be permanently turned
on. Also works for OS/2 windows.
(thanks to Jeppe Cramon and Joe DiAdamo)
o Warp Enhancer settings menu can be shown
in folder context menu.
o Mouse button 1 and 2 pressed simultaneously
can show window list (works everywhere
except title bar controls).
o Win 95 keys can now be used under OS/2.
(window list and context menu) This feature
doesn't seem to work on every system.
o Folder contents can now be sorted according
to their DOS .3 extension.
(thanks to Steffen Hotz)
o Backspace key can open parent folder.
(simulates context menu entry)
o Update delay for status bar can now be
configured (0 to 5000 msec, default 300ms)
o Enhanced shutdown dialog. Allows selection of
shutdown, reboot, dual boot or hibernation.
Needs configuration on "Misc" page two!
Fixed Problems:
o Workaround for bug in several version of
Warp 3 causing folders to hang or mouse pointer
to disappear. Folder subclassing can now be
delayed. Value can be configured and should be
adjusted to your system (as low as possible).
o Fixed minor bug where a PM timer was not
always freed correctly when exiting WE.
o Showing system menu as context menu on title
bar caused various problems with real context
menu not showing up correctly.
o Corrected problems with tabbing order (I've just
had no time to do the tabbing order :-)
o Warp Enhancer can now be used with Object Desktop
(exception see Known Problems)
o Hide settings instead of minimizing now works.
Known Problems:
o Support for Win95 keys doesn't seem to work
on every system. Tested only with ultra-cheap
Mitsumi-keyboard (~$10 :-) This will be fixed
for the next version.
o Using Warp Enhancer with Object Desktop causes
problems in Object Navigator. Use with caution!
o Starting WE again when hidden doesn't bring up
settings dialog.
Pre-Release 0.17, 29.03.97
New Features:
o Improved linker settings to produce smaller
files which load faster (about 15% smaller)
o Compressed executables with LXLite 1.18
(again about 15% smaller files)
o Extended the use of mouse button 3 to simulate
double click with mouse button 1. Double click
now works for:
- Containers/WPS folders in details view
- Palette windows (color, font and layout)
- IPF aka online help windows
o Mouse button 2 clicked on title bar of any
window can show system menu (like W'95/NT).
o Moving and sizing of maximized windows can
be prohibited (like Windows).
o Added REMOVE.CMD which deregisters WPS Helper
class and deletes class file from \OS2\DLL
o WE will now check for the right versions
of its DLLs (WEHOOK.DLL and WEWPS.DLL)
o You can now choose whether you want WE to
MINIMIZE or HIDE itself when you press OK
or start it without "show settings" selected.
o Calculate Folder Size now shows number of
files and directories found.
o Decimal separator char will be queried from
system instead of using English dot by default
o Improved recalculation algorithm. Less re-
calculations now.
Fixed Problems:
o IMPORTANT: Warp Enhancer can now be closed
even if there are folders that have been
opened after WE was started. This also
corrects the following problems:
- System shutdown with WE started and
open (enhanced) folders doesn't hang
your system anymore.
- "Include folders opened before" can now
be selected without any consequences
o Corrected INSTALL.CMD so that if works when
called from a root directory.
o When minimizing folder windows to title bar
size, system menu and close/minmax buttons
were no more accessible.
Known Problems:
o Known Problems = Known_Problems(Version_0.15)
- Fixed_Problems(Version_0.17) :-)
o Hide Settings does not work on every system
Pre-Release 0.15, 07.03.97
This is the first public release
Known Problems:
o Registering the WPS Helper DLL takes
a few seconds on OS/2 Warp 4. This seems
to be a problem with OS/2 as Warp 3 doesn't
have any problems with it.
o Some fonts and certain font sizes of a
specific font cause problems with the status
bar height or the status bars don't update
to the new font. You should avoid System VIO,
System Monospaced, all flavours of Courier.
Good fonts are WarpSans, System Proportional,
Helv, Helvetica and most others. This may
be fixed in a new release.
o Window List Filtering only filters entries
which are present *before* Warp Enhancer
is started. This restriction won't be pesent
in the next public release of Warp Enhancer.
o When switching folder views from icon view
to details view and then switching back,
objects may glide upwards. This seems to
be a problem with OS/2. May be fixed in
the future is the demand is there.
o Online help is not complete and is not
implemented for each window and control.
o WE may report size 0 Bytes for certains files
on FAT drives. This only happens with files
whose objects' names are longer than 8.3 or
contain any character that are not allowed
on FAT drives. This will be fixed soon.
