History

Mark H. Tucker wrote this program because he couldn't find an acceptable application for this purpose under OS/2, DOS or Win16. It has was also an excuse for him to learn REXX and DrDialog. He was originally doing this for his own use but decided to make it available for public consumption.

The latest version produced is still a beta version since there are still things the author haven't tested thoroughly. The core of the program has been working well for the author, and he had been using it daily for several months now without any data loss. He had about 18 months of data stored, and it still seems to handle things efficiently. He made a few relatively minor changes and very few new features since version 0.95.

Dec 30, 2001 - ver. 0.99 rereleased.
+ Fixed a problem with loading the RexxUtil libraries
+ Fixed a bug in searches that span more than one year.
Dec 26, 2001 - ver. 0.99 released.
+ fixed several minor date handling routines (days of week should be correct now). This only affected the interface and not the storage of data.
+ fixed a leap year bug in the date selection display routine. Again, this did no harm to the data storage.
+ Added a few double-click shortcuts to functions (eg. add/edit from the date selection list).
+ Added limited font selection support (found under "settings").
+ Added window settings to automatically store the position of the program and its various windows.
Aug 21, 2001 - ver. 0.95a released. (the shameful bugfix release)
+ Fixed a bug where adding a bookmark deletes the existing text in an entry.
+ optimised a few minor routines.
Aug 13, 2001 - ver. 0.95 released
+ Added a button bar with more functions
+ Added clipboard support
+ Added a settings dialog
+ Added the ability to open a data file other than the default
+ Added "bookmark" support
+ Updated the search engine.
+ numerous minor bug fixes
+ optimized many
- WarpLog.exe now exceeds 100k (just barely). Sorry.
May 3, 2001 - ver. 0.85 released
