5.2 | 1892 | 03/13/2003 |
5.2 introduces server-side previewing and better overall support for PHP and ASP page development. The HTML Beautify feature, the code beautifier and the browser launcher have been rewritten to accommodate these special page types. Because these pages are processed on a server before being presented to the client browser, they need to have a defined server name and virtual path. Arachnophilia now provides this in the browser setup dialog. The HTML beautify feature also now handles these pages properly, even when faced with <?php ... ?> and <% ... %> tag pairs on different lines. Be sure to look at the Web browser setup dialog to fully understand the new scheme. Also, the new HTML Beautify feature won't push periods and commas away from the sentences they rightfully belong to (an old, annoying bug, finally fixed). The documentation has been revised to explain the improvements. To obtain these new features in their full form and update your documentation, be sure to force a full install (delete the (user home directory)/.Arachnophilia directory). |
5.1 | 1882 | 03/10/2003 | Improved the documentation WRT an FTP issue, included a few missing syntax-coloring classes inadvertently omitted from the prior release. |
5.1 | 1880 | 03/09/2003 | Repaired a few minor bugs, added some explanantory notes to the documentation, included a note about a subtle FTP problem having to do with user choices of destination path. |
5.1 | 1877 | 11/19/2002 | Optimized file reading/writing code. The line endings on all files are translated internally, as required, after they are read and before they are written. This change speeds up that translation. |
5.1 | 1876 | 11/18/2002 | Corrected an additional bug in, and improved, code beautifier. Updated documentation. |
5.1 | 1875 | 11/15/2002 | Cleaned up some reported bugs, fixed PHP beautify error, improved browser configuration and launch code, fixed tab character inconsistency, added more file templates. |
5.1 | 1873 | 10/09/2002 | Added block tab and block reverse tab, controlled by default with tab and shift-tab. To change these keyboard hooks, just go to Macros,Standard Menus,Text,Tab-related,Block Tab and Block Reverse Tab. Users must perform a full install to get this new feature (or one can program two new macros if a reinstall is not feasible). |
5.1 | 1872 | 10/06/2002 | Fixed a number of small bugs, including an error in which [RegExpFindReplaceAll] did not detect whether a selection had been made (always acting on the entire document), and an annoying bug in the file selector dialog that renamed files the user didn't intend to. Now the user renames files by right-clicking and choosing this option. |
5.1 | 1869 | 09/07/2002 | Improved command parsing algorithm and added the ablility to escape a defined macro, like this: \[DateTime], so that it is not executed but inserted unchanged. |
5.1 | 1868 | 09/07/2002 | Fixed another bug in the command processor that caused a lockup in some cases. |
5.1 | 1867 | 09/05/2002 | Fixed a bug that caused a program lockup if a single bracket '[' character was entered into the search field in "Instant Mode." |
5.1 | 1865 | 09/03/2002 | Fixed a bug that prevented escaped characters from being processed correctly in RegExp Find & Replace. |
5.1 | 1864 | 08/28/2002 | Fixed a bug that improperly carried a shortcut key definition over from an existing macro definition to a new one. |
5.1 | 1862 | 08/25/2002 | Added function to clear search and replace dropdown lists. This will make it easier to recover from the common mistake of entering an excessively long string into the search and replace dialog. See the documentation for the alternatives to entering long strings directly into the dialog. |
5.1 | 1860 | 08/25/2002 | Fixed FTP service error that defaulted to text file format instead of binary, the original intention. Updated documentation in response to common user inquiries. |
5.1 | 1850 | 05/10/2002 | Fixed file picker dialog error that listed folders in the right-hand panel and allowed them to be selected as though they were files. Now folders are selected in the left window, and files in the right. |
5.1 | 1849 | 05/02/2002 | Fixed a bug in the macro editor code that improperly transferred keyboard shortcuts. |
5.1 | 1848 | 05/01/2002 | Fixed a bug having to do with not using an unsaved password in the FTP service. |
5.1 | 1847 | 04/29/2002 | Fixed some small bugs, changed the keyboard hook code so almost any key can be used as a keyboard hook. This results from my finally realizing that there will always be some keystrokes in a gray area, neither a letter nor a control key, that might be useful as a keyboard hook. Many more key combinations are now possible. Added a system command to switch documents using Ctrl+Tab (an example of the above). |
5.1 | 1846 | 04/16/2002 | Dcoumentation update. Added some new FAQs and more details about the FTP Service. |
5.1 | 1845 | 04/16/2002 | Fixed a bug in the Right-Click Wizard that prevented detection of some color definitions in style blocks. |
5.1 | 1844 | 04/15/2002 | Added PHP to file types that can be beautified by Code Beautifier. |
5.1 | 1843 | 04/15/2002 | Corrected a bug in Code Beautify. It wasn't recognizing C files. |
5.1 | 1842 | 04/15/2002 | Corrected a bug in Table Wizard that prevented creation of a default empty table. |
5.1 | 1841 | 04/15/2002 | Fixed one additional bug in key mapping, made program remember the main divider location between uses. |
5.1 | 1840 | 04/15/2002 | Corrected some bugs in key mapping that sometimes allowed a null keyboard shortcut to exist. |
5.1 | 1839 | 04/13/2002 | Changed to allow the editing windows to share the background color of system windows, instead of the default white. I think I may regret this. :) |
5.1 | 1838 | 04/13/2002 | Located and corrected a bug that produced a display lock-up in some rare conditions. I recommend that everyone download this important bug fix. |
5.1 | 1837 | 04/09/2002 | Cleaned up some minor deficiencies in the new RTF to HTML converter. |
5.1 | 1836 | 04/09/2002 | Fixed a bug in shortcut key mapping and encoding. Some valid combinations were not being accepted, and the key mappings were not being listed correctly. |
5.1 | 1835 | 04/09/2002 | Responding to popular demand, added an RTF to HTML converter. This converter is constrained by Java's limited knowledge of RTF syntax, but it will convert RTF documents in much the same way as Arachnophilia 4.0's converter did. It won't convert images or tables, but it will handle most normal rich-text content. |
5.0 | 1834 | 04/07/2002 | Corrected a hitherto undetected out-of-bounds bug in string handling code. |
5.0 | 1833 | 04/07/2002 | Improved the friendliness and robustness of the browser configuration dialog. It is almost the first thing a new user sees, and it isn't possible to view the help file until a browser has been located. So it is now almost automatic -- it chooses a reasonable directory and will search even if the user isn't sure which button to press. |
5.0 | 1832 | 04/06/2002 | Fixed a bug that prevented the import of legacy toolbars/macros. Changed to a numeric code for storing keyboard codes upon discovering that each language supported by Java spells keyboard key names differently. This assures that non-English users will have the correct default keyboard shortcuts. Fixed a few other, lesser bugs. |
5.0 | 1831 | 03/31/2002 | Rewrote Arachnophilia's internal FilePicker class to handle network paths and improved its speed. On Windows, FilePicker can now browse your network just as Windows File Explorer does. |
5.0 | 1830 | 03/30/2002 | Replaced the regular expression engine. The previous (gnu-regexp) engine, used in the pre-Java 1.4 of Arachnophilia, has been replaced with that now built into Java 1.4. This means the new features described in the Java documentation for the java.util.regex package all apply to Arachnophilia's regular expression processor. The Java regex package is more robust and less likely to crash or lock up than the older version. |
5.0 | 1828 | 03/27/2002 | Fixed some default toolbar/menu inconsistencies, fixed a clipboard bug. |
5.0 | 1827 | 03/25/2002 | Fixed a reported bug in character to HTML entity conversion. The routine was converting the content of tags as well as the tag delimiters in HTML documents. Now it checks to see if the target is an HTML document and changes its behavior if so. |
5.0 | 1826 | 03/25/2002 | Changed the default FTP Service remote directory path to "/". This was causing some confusion -- most (but not all) configurations require this slash to be present, and it was not present by default. Updated documentation. |
5.0 | 1825 | 03/23/2002 | Fixed a small bug having to do with differing quirks in differing versions of the Netscape browser. Added some entries to the FAQ list. |
5.0 | 1824 | 03/18/2002 | Fixed a bug brought on by the Java 1.4 transition in which the tab key suddenly stopped working in the editor. |
5.0 | 1823 | 03/17/2002 | Fixed a bug in the FTP service, rewrote the clipboard functions to offer and accept more data types. |
5.0 | 1822 | 03/16/2002 | Fixed a bug in which context menus would extend off the right and bottom edges of the display. This is actually a bug in Java, but I was able to create a fix. |
5.0 | 1821 | 03/14/2002 | Corrected a bug in the new [FileSaveToEOL] feature. It was saving the progam's own files using the user's choice of line ending. Relatively benign, but not what I intended. |
5.0 | 1820 | 03/13/2002 | Added an automatic error logging system, so any program or java runtime engine errors will automatically be logged to (user home directory)/.Arachnophilia/ArachErrorLog.txt. If you submit a bug report, be sure to include any contents this file may have. |
5.0 | 1818 | 03/13/2002 | Added a system command [FileSaveEOL:arg] to allow users to override the default platform end-of-line character sequence. |
5.0 | 1817 | 03/13/2002 | Accommodated a Netscape browser launch problem with a code change. |
5.0 | 1816 | 03/13/2002 | Corrected some errors and inconsistencies in the documentation. |
5.0 | 1815 | 03/12/2002 | After a first-day flood of bug reports from people who haven't bothered to download the correct Java runtime version, I have reluctantly added a dialog that checks the Java runtime and, if necessary, tells the user to download the correct verison. |
5.0 | 1814 | 03/12/2002 | Fixed a few typographical errors and an incorrect reference to JRE 1.3 -- Arachnophilia 5.0 requires JRE 1.4. |
5.0 | 1812 | 03/12/2002 | Fixed a raft of bugs that accompanied first release. Decided to bundle documentation with application. |
5.0 | 1810 | 03/11/2002 | Initial public release. |
