Hi,
it's nice to see that as soon as there's no V update for
a month, people start worrying of whether we ran away
to the bahamas, or shut down, or both.
In any case, the reports of our deaths have been greatly exaggerated :)
As I said when pre5 was released, we were heading to a "proper"
release, and this mostly involves wading through the masses
of bug reports (thanks!), and sorting them out.
However, debugging is a slow process, and we wanted to squash
as many bugs as possible, to release something which warrants
a "Proper release" label.
I've attached a current list of changes since pre5 below,
so you'll believe us that we didn't slack around.
The current plan is to release 3.0 proper before X-Mas.
We'll both then have more free time to work on V 3.1
between the years, to add some features (there's
a working Real Audio decoder source lingering around,
and the concept of an CSS parser, and stuff :)
Olli
3.0.38
------
- CVS: bumped compile to .38
- Net: fixed nets_setdocmem() to actually make sure that
text files are zero-terminated. This is presumbly
the reason for the source editing -> update crashes
(Olli)
- GUI: modified docinfowin to not cause a layout failure
with long URLs (www.boxman.dk) (Olli)
- Cache: resuming a file which was in the disk cache wasn't performed properly
and ended up appending the whole file instead of the relevant part (Zapek)
- Cache: now handles timezones gracefully using locale.library when verifying
the cache (Zapek)
- Layouter: now remembers form contents upon resize or back (Olli)
- Layouter: FORM RESET for popup list objects now works (Olli)
3.0.39
------
- CVS: bumped compile to .39

versions of it (Zapek)

3.0.40
------

image size (later to be expanded to hold more info) (Olli)
- Net: HTTP header generation was messed up again, and would
sent a broken request when verifying cache objects (Olli)

3.0.44
------
- CVS: bumped compile to .44
- JS: added document.location (Olli)
- JS: fixed setting of *.location.* from within javascript:
links -- due to an internal screwup, the value set from
