VERSION.DOC
===========

warning:
    This file is updated in realtime --	as soon	as a change is working I
    note it in here. This may lead to some disjointed, incorrect or just
    totally weird text.

2.02
    - oops, the	setmenu	command	didn't actually look for the END keyword,
      it gave an error and aborted if it was given.
    - added mousebutton	qualifier support.
    - fixed some of arg	command
    - sigh... the OpenWindowTags() call	in windows.c didn't mark the end of
      its tag list with	a TAG_END, now it does.
    - all windows are now opened on the	default	public screen.
    - included the pubman utility to make it easy to give JEd it's own screen
    - new commands,
	^
	^^

    - savesection now saves tabs if savetabs is	on.
    - savetabs preference improved.
    - now configuration	data is	automatically saved by DICE. As	a result of
      this the saveprefs command has been discarded.
    - setmenu didn't recognize SBAR, it looked for SUBBAR... now it's fixed,
      I	suppose	I shouldn't have written the documentation from memory :-(
    - when the name of a sleeping window changes (openfile, rename, etc...)
      it's title is now corrected.
    - more of the move commands	set the	auto-mark now.
    - added (move `of') command.
    - IMPORTANT: before, reference seek	positions started at 1,	now they start
      at 0. This means all .jrefs files	containing seek	offsets	have to	be
      remade. This is to provide consistency with the (info `offset') command
      and (move	`of').

2.01 (20-Sep-92)
    - removed (undocumented) 8 argument	limit on commands - now	commands
      can get as many arguments	as memory allows. (not quite, (format) and
      (req) are	limited	to 20 formatting values).
    - fixed bug	in (saveprefs) command,	didn't show up until version bump.
    - (position) unsleep's a sleeping window before changing its position.
    - fixed (activatefile)'s refresh problems.
    - makerefs failure to expand a a pathname when no -full is given has
      been fixed. also,	structure searching has	been rewritten,	it won't
      give 100%	success	but will work on the system include files (or at
      least most of them). typedef'ed structures are referenced by their
      typedef not any given structure tag.
      makerefs can now be interrupted by ^c
    - new commands,
	break
	select
	dowhile
	symboldump
	move `bs'
	move `be'
	info `size'
	info `offset'
	script `s'
	ilock
	info `asleep'
	setpref	`scrollhack'
	changes
    - made (poke) and (replace `r') increment change count
    - extract can now get any amount of	text (the whole	file if	you want!)
    - the libraries; commodities, iffparse and asl are only kept opened	when
      needed. For commodities and iff this is only when	they're being used.
      asl is kept open after the first use of the file req. Under V37 iprefs
      keeps iffparse open all the time anyway so this doesn't help much.
    - wow, now commodities is kept closed, scrolling is	faster.	(as long as
      no one else has cx open.)	(i expect that this is only noticeable if
      you're running a 68000 and v37 or less).
    - oops, opening and	closing	the commodities.library	so much	sometimes
      crashed the input.device.	Wrote my own description -> key/qual bytes
      function.	See the	(bind) description for more info. commodities isn't
      used at all anymore.
    - added 'global' as synonym for 'addsym', fits better with local.
    - some commands now	take more than one set of arguments at once (bind,
      addsym, addpath, etc...)
    - fixed bug	in (move `nw') and (move `pw')
    - scrolling	speed doubled (when no block is	on screen) due to a cunning
      tip from Adriaan van den Brand.
    - fixed bug	when deleting from column 0 to column n	(NOT 0). Line isn't
      joined anymore.
    - can now be started via the Workbench.
    - fixed bug	of \t characters being the size	of disktab not tabsize when
      inserting	strings	or characters.
    - fixed some commands who didn't bother to check their arguments before
      using them.
    - fixed a bug in the menu creation function	and added some new menus to
      the jed-menus script.
    - added code to create backups for each saved file,	a configurable number
      of backups can be	stored in a configurable directory.
    - oops, the	command	template checker didn't detect errors when a command
      was passed an incorrect _number_ of arguments. Now it does.
    - added null clause	(@)
    - fixed up readtx()	(function to load text), removed possible array	over-
      stepping and made	it so that lines up to the maximum of 32768 chars can
      be read properly.
    - added one-line history buffer to prompt stuff.

2.0 (08-Sep-92)
    - Total rewrite from version 1, switched from assembler to C.
