* tries to be more compatible with virtual environments - copying texts from GUI dialogs to edit windows works better now + if you try to copy text to clipboard without any text selected, the word on cursor position will be used - after every 65536 bytes loader added invalid character to loaded text * slightly improved color selection dialog + functions for line expanding + optional spaces emphasing + Find dialog offers the phrase occurrences counting + right mouse click offers new word related functions + right mouse click (or Ctrl-L) offers new line related functions + correctly replaces Unicode characters above 0xFFFF to character 0xFFFD "�" + keyboard shortcuts in the main menu * main menu does not allow to select functions which aren't currently applicable * buttons in some situations accept keyboard shortcuts without pressed ALT * unicode definition tables are now separated to own TBL subdirectory |
+ bookmarks (accessible by right mouse button click or from main menu) - deleting a text block sometimes crashed the program - key "delete" sometimes incorrectly changed the scope of the text block - the non-resident part of the keyboard handler is more compatible with WinXP - also the resident part of the keyboard handler is improved (see TECHNOTE.TXT) - mouse wheel works again (with DOS driver CTMouse or with DOSBOX-X) + optimalizations in the program messages management * the hotkey for text block delete changed from CTRL-Space to Shift-Del (to be consistent with one line input dialogs) - fixed several bugs in command line processing - other small bugfixes |
+ cooperates with Windows clipboard * mouse driver improvements + functions for choosing related chars (via CTRL-Q or mouse right click submenu) + distribution package with integrated DosBox-X + speed optimizations in editor: if possible, only the updated part of window will be rendered + system info window shows whether the OS allows to use SSE instructions + optional editor window left side panel showing line ending type + text selection range is properly updated during text operations - various small bugfixes |
+ french and turkish translations - fixed scrolling of the line with cards of opened files - fixed possible crash after closing a file * minor improvements in the system information window + the GUI system can now process a multiline buttons (currently used in the russian interface in fileselector) - fixed some conflicts between BIOS/DOS keyboard drivers and the internal driver (details described in the TECHNOTE.TXT file) |
+ german translation + fast switching among opened files with Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus - fixed some bugs (including crashes) * changed the picture for welcome screen |
+ many improvements in the graphical user interface (GUI) + most of the windows can be moved by dragging the title bar by mouse + slovak keyboard layout + blocks of text can be selected by dragging the mouse with pressed left button + blocks of text can be selected not only in the edited text but also in most places of the GUI like information or help windows. + the scope of the Search or Search and Replace functions can be limited to text block only + many powerful conversion routines handling the code pages and Unicode * if the document is not in Unicode it is always in some defined DOS code page - The RAM size detection was wrong on some systems + Now can work even with graphic cards with non-continuous video memory (like GeForce RTX 2060) + can load and save with all three line-ending standards (CRLF, CR, LF) + can load and save Unicode files encoded in UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE + recognizes the Unicode BOMs (byte order marks) + customizable word wrapping + now can fixate the word-wrapping not only for the whole document but also for selected block only. + function for intelligent merging the legacy DOS style lines (78 or 80 chars) to word-wrapping blocks. - better keyboard handler - fixed bug in the conversion routine for 3-bytes long Unicode glyphs + conversion from HTML entities into Unicode chars + QR codes creation - Avoid shutting down the program with Ctrl-Break (customizable in BLOCEK.CFG) - fixed tabulators - corrected minor bugs in the color selection dialog - functions for moving to next word or to previous word now scroll the window if needed + the single-line text boxes can use the clipboards too (like f.e. in „Search and replace“ dialog) + more informations in the system information window * the number of clipboards reduced to 7 (still more than enough) leaving more space on the upper line for menu x the language files for german, turkish, hungarian and french languages are not updated so they are moved from "public" TRANSLAT subdirectory to TRANSLAT\VER162 - they can partialy work after copying back into TRANSLAT |
+ slovak keyboard layout + translations for german, french and turkish languages + more filters for conversions between Unicode and 8-bit codepages + included utility for creating new Unicode conversion filters (see .\KEY_TBL\TBL_CREA\) + added file TRANSLAT.TXT which contains instructions how to create a translations to other languages * the binary in untouched |
- fixed a lot of typos in texts - fixed block operations on the single line blocks - solved "undeletable" first char of line which occured in some situations + block conversions to make case up or low |
+ Conversion of the extended ASCII or Unicode chars into HTML entities - fixed possible crash when opening large text file - fixed crash after pressing up arrow after menu activation by mouse * progress indicator now uses timer |
- fixed graphical glitch causing garbage in some circumstances when opening a new window - mouse sometimes caused noticeable slowdown of program - reenabled the char typing using ALT + <codes on numeric keyboard> - fixed crash when "word wrapping" on empty file was selected - optimized the method for getting the hardware glyphs from graphic card + implemented function keys CTRL+right arrow and CTRL+left arrow + implemented function CTRL+A (select all) + CTRL+Del deletes selected block + selected blocks are now visible just in the text - not only in status line + program language can be switched directly from menu system (no manual editing of conf. files is needed) * not only the final compilation but also regular development is done with Freepascal 3.0.2 |
