Version 1.0
- First release of the program. Everything is new.
Version 1.1
New or Updated Features
- Added the extraction success dialog and an option for turning
this dialog off.
- Slightly updated the look and feel of the program (now size
and number of files shown in the same boxes, whether a filetype or file is selected).
- Updated the about box significantly.
Bug Fixes
- Program now reads into a 64K buffer (it was 16K) - Extraction
should be somewhat faster now
Version 1.2
New or Updated Features
- Art file information support added. Now you can view the
number of tiles, the size of each tile, and the animation settings for each art file.
Viewing the art itself has not yet been added.
- 2 new accelerator keys (F5 and F6).
- Previously removed accelerator keys replaced.
- The "number of files selected" information box now
always shows the number of files in the current filetype. In previous releases this box
would show "1" if only one file was selected - and that was a waste of space in
my opinion.
- Main layout of program slightly changed.
- Help index changed a little.
Bug Fixes
- Program option code completely rewritten. In previous
versions, pressing the cancel button in the program options dialog box would write the
option settings (something that it should not have done). Options were also being read and
written at the wrong time and caused problems in some other areas of the program. This
code has been overhauled and now works correctly.
- Program now reads into a 128K buffer (it was 64K). I'm still
experimenting with this value, but it will probably remain at 128K in future releases.
- Several memory leaks have been "sealed up".
- Pressing the "Cancel" button on the overwrite files
dialog (when extracting a filetype) would bring up the "File extraction
complete" dialog, indicating that the extraction was successful. This now works
properly.
- The extraction progress bar now clears itself properly (after
a successful extraction).
- Window sizing problem fixed. The scroll bars would sometimes
appear on screen, even when the window was still large enough to view everything in the
workspace. This problem has been fixed.
