root/ChangeLog

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.

Bugs Fixed & Improvements in 1.91
=================================

The alterations for ChangeFSI documented in JPEG_Fix file have been modified
to allow ChangeFSI to spot revision 2 JFIF files (which seem to cause
Division by zero errors normally).  The standard djpeg (version 6a) will
output a warning unfortunately, so you have to press SPACE or click mouse to
continue after translation of an image.  The version of 6a supplied here will
NOT output that warning (I've altered it to a trace message instead of a
warning).  You should upgrade the version stored inside ChangeFSI by
installing my patched version.

The !Run file for the fix to stop Template load failed errors is included.

Proposed filenames in save boxes are now filtered correctly to remove
unacceptable characters (should stop problem of people dragging a file
to save it and nothing happening because the Filer didn't like the
name)

Caret is positioned properly in the Open URL dialogue box and hopefully
in other dboxes too.

JPEG_Fix patch corrected (was wrong in 1.90 only).  This wasn't fatal: the
erronoeus patch information just forced ChangeFSI to always use djpeg to
decode the images.

Open URL dialogue box now opens in the vicinity of the pointer.

RETURN key handling in forms has changed to submit the form if you
press the return key whilst the caret is positioned in a form icon.
