DesktopPD/ExtraBar/!ExDocs/Docs/changes

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

<br clear="all">

<hr noshade>

<p><b>If you are upgrading to ExtraBar 1.xx from a 0.xx version then you should read the <a href="upgrading">'Upgrading from 0.xx'</a> section, as there are some important changes.</b></p>

<h2>Changes in 1.21 from 1.20</h2>

<p><b>Bug fixes</b></p>

<ul>
<li>'#freemem' corrected to display the correct amount of free memory in the machine.
</ul>

<h2>Changes in 1.20 from 1.xx beta y</h2>

<p>There have been a number of small changes since the last beta.</p>

<ul>
<li>The Web command now supports the Acorn URI handler.
<li>A problem with '%' symbols has been partially fixed. This is more of a RiscOS issue then an ExtraBar issue though as it is to do with the way the CLI works. 
</ul>

<hr noshade>

<p align="right">If you have any problems or queries about ExtraBar 1.xx then you can<br>contact me at <a href="mailto:davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk">davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk</a>.
