EdHT History

This is the history of the EdHT binary releases. Note: This was modified from Andrew Guthrie's original EdHT web site, with additional emailed beta testing versions. (Unreleased). This version of EdHT (0.5 Alpha 17.7 - July 2001 is the first public release since the last Aminet release of EdHT version (0.4 January 1997).

No Update notes found for EdHT 0.5 Alpha 17.7 (which was found in AG's development directory late in 1999. (Alpha 17.7 is the current version!)

Alpha 17.6

• Temporarily added Fixed font selection from the Project menu. Needs more work but at least it is becoming useful now!
  You can only change fonts if you have no more than one open doc at any time for the moment.
  

• Added FORCEFONT TO edht.ucfg

• Fixed loosing the plot while marking
• Internally set up EdHT code to handle fixed width fonts other than topaz 8 :)

• Shift-Mark to speed up marking
• Fixed %ecd "path/" slash from coming up in ASL
• Added TESTCMD allows you to test ???CMD's without re-loading menu. (Only in EdHT-MenuEdit.mcfg AB)
  Place cursor on the command line to be tested then select TESTCMD from the menu - don't use TESTCMD on itself!
• Added Startmem minus current mem in SHOW vars... to see how much mem EdHT chews up
  
• Re-Crashes:
  Although EdHT or should I say BlitzBasic frees all mem on exit, it will not clear the mem when EdHT re-dims an array. There-fore each time you load a new file the memory consumption is additive. This is bad news and will have to dealt with as soon as possible (EdHT V0.6 ?)
• Reduced Line max to 10000 from 20000 to reduce EdHT's memory hogging to try and reduce crashing

EdHT 0.5 Alpha 17.2 (3rd October 1997)

Have been putting all EdHT time into a_17.2 Not much new just fixes of stringreq_win and some experimenting, and a bit of tweeking here and there to the code. Disappointingly though EdHT v0.5 alpha 17.2 has passed the 200k size oh well! ram is cheap :)

EdHT 0.5 Alpha 17.1 (21st September 1997)

• Internal fixes and optimizing of code to help EdHT be more stable
• %marked is the second %var to be recognized within parameters although it has not been tested except with find. (Now Tested widely OK AB:)
• Find marked functioning (AB)
• Save... Show allows you to select which open doc to show/reload, useful when you are working with frames. Hold down the shift key while selecting Save... Show (This is work in progress, not yet complete)

EdHT 0.5 Alpha 17.0 (11th September 1997)

I managed to resist uploading earlier as I wanted to test all the new changes in 17 to see if things were pretty stable and they seem to be!

Alpha 17

• Forcetags removed - replaced by prefs-window tag selection gadget
• %ecd first variable to function within parameters()
• MAXDOC x in edht.ucfg for user set file limit instead of default 5
• Some optimizing of CMD code execution has improved error handling for menu commands and reduced the amount of code to do the same job INSTRUCTIONS
• As FORCETAGS no longer functions the first thing to do is to go to prefs then just hit save.
• Quit EdHT the restart, this will make all the changes needed to the edht.ucfg & xxx.eprf
• To change DOCMAX open edht.ucfg and edit DOCMAX to whatever
• 0= one open doc
• 1= up to two open
• 2= up to three
• etc. (Up to your memory)
  of course you will have to restart EdHT for the new DOCMAX work.

EdHT 0.5 Alpha 16.1 (21st August 1997)

Alpha 16.1:Reversal of change in paramater routine So no change from 16.0 to 16.1 except for some internal code.

Various updates (at least 16!) between EdHT Versions 0.4 and 0.5 Alpha 16.1). These may be added in here later if I track them down! (AB :-)
