Thanks to all registered users! Historie ======== Version 1.0 o Den første brugbare version af Amiga World. (01-jan-1993) Udgivet som en freeware version med nogle begrænsninger [Fish #804] på AmigaLibDisk #804. Version 1.01 o Tilføjet manuel udvælgelse/fravælgelse af lande (med den (24-mar-1993) højre museknap) [interne] o De fleste menu valg bliver genoprettede efter skift af font, skærmmode eller sprog. o Nogle interne forbedringer, der ikke er synlige for brugeren. Version 1.02 o Opfandt kode numre til landene. Se kapitlet (28-mar-1993) 'awo.data' i dokumentations-filen for detaljer. o Nogle mindre synlige bugs blev fikset. Version 1.03 o AmigaWorld indeholder nu også svenske data-filer. De (01-apr-1993) blev skrevet af Bo Arnholm fra Mölndal nær Gøthenborg. Tak Bo! Version 1.1 o Tilføjet data omkring valuta. (07-apr-1993) o AmigaWorld kan nu også udtrykke sig selv på Hollandsk. De [Fish #851] hollandske data filer er lavet af Ruud Hoekzema fra Drieberge nær Utrecht. Tak Ruud! o De numre, der bliver vist i landevinduerne bliver nu vist som grupper på 3. Det gør dem mere læselige. o Ordnede en bug, som gjorde at AW crackede hvis du skiftede fra et sprog med et langt navn til sprog med et kort navn. (f.eks. "Nederlands" (10 tegn) -> "Deutsch" (7 tegn)) o Fjernede 'Menu short cuts'. De syntes ikke at kunne bruges til noget. Version 1.11 o Ordnede en bug, som fik programmet til at afslutte, hvis du (13-apr-1993) brugte en font med et navn på mere end 10 tegn. o Ordnede en bug, som fik 'topaz fonten' til at se lidt mærke- lig ud, hvis du havde brugt en anden font før. o Hvis der er åbne landevinduer, når du skifter sprog, font, eller skærmopløsning, vil de nu ændre sig til dine nye valg. o Du kan nu lukke info og konfig vinduerne via tastaturet: Tryk return for at acceptere ændringer eller tryk en hvilken som helst anden knap for at fortryde og afslutte. o Bredden på menuerne i skærmtitellinien bliver nu ændret til længden på den tekst den indeholder, hvilket får den svenske version til at se bedre ud. Version 2.0 o Flagene på alle uafhængige lande og nogle bilande (13-jun-1993) bliver vist sammen med de andre data. o De religioner, som er mest almindelige i et land bliver vist. o AmigaWorld fortæller dig om medlemsskabet i vigtige inter- nationale organisationer (kun uafhængige lande). o Du kan også få en kort beskrivelse af alle medlemmerne af disse organisationer ved at vælge menupunktet "Søg efter" / "Organisation". o Dataene omkring sprog er blevet mere præcise. o AmigaWorld udregner FØRST størrelsen på landevinduet og SÅ åbner den det. Ikke flere kæmpe vinduer, der bliver formindskede senere hen! o Hvis dataene omkring et land allerede bliver vist, kan du ikke åbne dets vindue igen. o Få synlige forbedringer , f.eks. i det vindue, som viser sig når en fejl forekommer i landenes data. o Freeware og den fulde version bruger nu den samme output fil. De få forskellige output tekster holdes nu internt. o Hver eneste tekst i 'awo.data' havde en maximum længde på 80 tegn i ældre versioner. Nu kan de tekster, der bliver vist i lande vinduet være 120 tegn bred, de andre (til søgningsfunktionen) dog kun 30 tegn. Det er derfor nogle data bliver mere præcise, uden at bruge mere hukommelse. o Et nyt land er født: Velkommen, Eritrea! Version 2.01 o Det er nu muligt at få en liste over et land og alle dens (01-jul-1993) bilande ved at indtaste dens forkortelse i søgningsfeltet (når "Søg efter"/"Navn" er valgt). Version 2.02 o A Finnish translation of AmigaWorld was created by Mika (11-jan-1994) Leinonen of Ylitornio, Finland. Thank you Mika! o Four Australian Island Territories were added. o All numeric data was updated. o The font has got a better name now: It's called "Beatles". Version 2.03 o Two new translations are available: French and Italian users (28-feb-1994) can "talk" with AmigaWorld in their native languages, too. Version 2.1 o AmigaWorld is now available in Danish. (07-mar-1994) o Line two of 'awo.output' does now contain the char which divides decimal numbers, i.e. either point or comma. o Three dependencies were added: Åland, Ashmore/Cartier and Galapagos. o The flags of several dependencies were added. o The location line in the data file can contain more than one entry now, making the search function more efficient. o The source code is not included in the fully funtional version anymore. Nobody was interested anyway, and I spend one diskette and a bit of copying time less. o The price of AmigaWorld has increased (it's the inflation, you know?). You have to pay ten more Deutsche Mark to receive the fully functional version. Clever users can claim to have read the doc files of an older version. Version 3.0 o If you click on the little map with the left mouse button (02-jun-1994) a big world map pops up. Now you can select a continent that does also appear on a map. When clicking on a country its data will be displayed. o The map window contains a little menu. When you select the item "description" a text about the continent on the map will be displayed. o Until now, the selection in the country list was restored by clicking the little map. This function belongs to a new item in the "Selection" menu now. o The country windows also have got a little menu: The first item is not implemented yet, the second one makes Amiga- World display one of its ten maps, showing the country's location. o The third item enables you to get a list of all dependencies of a country; or to call the data of its mother country. o The "Sort" menu of the main window contains one more item: It enables you to turn around the order of the country list. o The procedure that displays text about continents, organiz- ations (and soon countries) works with bold, italic and red text now. o You can softly scroll up and down in these text by using two arrows. I like it better then the proportinal gadget. o The arrangement of the interlace screen has been extremely improved, waste of space was reduced. All countries of a continent can now be displayed in the list at once. o The file "awo.output" contains 50 more lines, for new output texts. Therefore it is not compatible with older versions of AmigaWorld. Version 3.1 o This new version was developed with version 4.3 of the (30-jul-1994) m2Amiga system. [Fred Fish, o It contains a new routine for reading IFF files that replaces other the old one which was faster but contained a bug. PD-series, o If Kickstart 2.0 is available windows have got the "new look" several i.e. they are somewhat 3d-like. mailboxes] o The font requester of ASL.library is used if this library is provided in the libs: directory. o A bug was fixed: The memory for menu strips and items is deallocated as soon as a window is closed, not any more at the end of the program. Version 4.0 o AmigaWorld displays a text about nature, population, economy (30-aug-1994) and history of a country. About 80% of the texts are done, the other ones will be finished in a few months. Author of these informative texts is Bo Arnholm who has already translated AmigaWorld into Swedish! o Includes data on Palestine. Version 4.1 o Includes a text about each and every country! But some do not (27-sep-1994) contain information on economy and history. o All continent descriptions have been translated into English. Version 4.2 o AmigaWorld co-operates with graphic expansions in a better (18-oct-1994) way now, at least if you have got Kickstart 2.1 or greater: [Westium Data, At the start and every time you select the menu item mailboxes] "Configurartion"/"Screen Mode" a requester comes up that asks you for screen mode, width and height. Version 4.3 o You can now modify the size of the window where country and (22-oct-1994) other text descriptions are displayed. [AMOK] o A bug was fixed: Text does not flow outside this window anymore. Version 4.31 o All numeric data was updated (for all languages), some of the (01-jan-1995) other data was made more precise in the English and German [Time] files. Version 4.32 o Bjarne Bjørnsen from Trondheim translated all data into (10-jan-1995) Norwegian. Thanks! [Fish] Kendte bugs =========== o None at all. Planer for fremtiden ==================== o Information about major cities. o Option to print out the description of a country, continent or organization. o Option to save these descriptions as ASCII-files, either with or without printer codes for bold text etc.
