Hi all, I hereby announce FreeDOS EDIT 0.9a (the sucessor of EDIT 0.7d).
The big change about the 0.9 series is that it is now based on FreeDOS DFlat+, which is a user interface development toolkit, that has actually been excerpted (and continued) from EDIT. Thus, if you ever happen to see another DFlat+ -based application, you should expect to see a similar usability and look and feel. THe list of changes is huge, although most are internal and do not reflect in functionality. However, I may have introduced several new bugs, so please, let me know if you find them. You can grab it here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/dos/edit/edit09ax.zip However, for EDIT 0.9a I have commited also some user-oriented changes, specially in the way menus and submenus are handled. Here you have a list of changes: (*) SmoothMenus: in short, what changed in menus from Windows 3.1 to Windows95 with respect to mouse behaviour. Also: - adapted keyboard behaviour: Esc and left arrow do NOT close the entire cascade, etc. - submenus are no longer restricted to the application window area - clicking outside a menu closes it - when an option is disabled, it no longer beeps (only closes the pop-up) (*) Changed: in the Search/Replace box, the case-check is off by default. (*) Fix: yes/no boxes admit arrow keys (*) Fix: Open/Save as boxes no longer admit Esc as a valid character (*) Fix: when opening a file with tabs, the WatchIcon loked the mouse. No longer happens. Happy Edit'ing, and bug reporting!
