***** V1.42 *****

Updated FMOD to version 375.

Fixed function param used in For...Each causing mysterious object deletions.


***** V1.41 *****

Added TreeViewNodeText( node ).

Added toolbar separators. A 'blank' icon in a toolbar image (ie: an icon with all colors transparent) will
be shown as a separator in a toolbar.

Added 'okay' and 'cancel' style buttons (flags 4 and 5), which are 'auto-clicked' when you hit 'return' or
'escape' (but only when a button or textfield within the same group is currently active).

Added support for tabbing between buttons and textfields.

Fixed slider events. 'Modeless' clicks (eg: line/page up/down) used to generate a single BeginModal event but
no matching EndModal event. Modeless clicks no generate no BeginModal/EndModal event at all. Modal events (ie:
slider draggin) used to generate a spurious gadget action event when the slider was released. No more.

Listboxes now generate action events when keys are used to switch between items.

Improved fast user switching support. Probably not 100% in all cases, but works on my test stuff here.

Fixed sliders auto-enabling when using SetSliderRange. Note though that disabled sliders appear to always
'hide their range'. Kind of understandable.

Tabber initial border corruption fixed.

Fixed infinite loop when using HtmlViewGo in response to a NONAVIGATE style gadget event.


***** V1.40 *****

Fixed DEP ('data execution prevention') issue with WinXP SP2.


***** V1.39 *****

Fixed slow mem deallocation.

Updated FMOD to V3.72

CreateImage now defaults to dynamic (LoadImage still defaults to managed)

CreateHtmlView supports style parameter - 1=NOCONTEXTMENU 2=NONAVIGATE

HtmlView now generates GadgetEvents with eventdata setings 0=pageloads 1=usernavigate

New HtmlView commands : HtmlViewCurrentURL() HtmlViewEventURL(html) HtmlViewStatus(html) HtmlViewRun(html,script$)
eg: HtmlViewRun html,"document.body.innerHTML='<form method=GET><input type=text name=login value=simon></form>'"

RemoveGadgetItem on last item now clears Tabber completely

RequestFile and RequestDir now have optional default values

RequestFile no longer appends "All Files" option when extension$ parameter is used

Win32DSMovie DrawMovie render now uses BitBlt if IDirectSurface::Blt fails due to unsupported pixel conversion

better checking for negative sized banks and copybank ranges

Delay now resets negative parameters to 0

Added FontSize FontName FontStyle FontAscend and FontDescend getters

Return key on List Item now causes event, still no arrow key messages:(

TreeViewNodes now have icon parameters and TreeView supports SetGadgetIconStrip


***** V1.38 *****

Fixed: Evil ImagesCollide bug

Fixed: LoadFont now works with a path.

Fixed: String comparison bug with strings containing Chr$(0)


***** V1.37 *****

Fixed: Flip!

Fixed: Crash if incorrect DirectInput version installed on NT.

Fixed: ReadDir path error on Win98.

Fixed: FileSize not working with open file.


***** V1.36 *****

Fixed: Crash if audio driver init fails.

Fixed: Viewport not clipped to buffer size.

Fixed: FlipCanvas not working after EndGraphics.

Fixed: FileType not working properly with some dirs.

Fixed: ReadDir returning a handle for non-existant dirs.

Fixed: FreeBank CreateBank()

Note: "c:" technically isn't a directory but a device. This seems to be a hangover from DOS days, where each device had its own current dir. Windows appears to have progressively cleaned up this weirdness, but I would recommend using "c:\" instead when accessing root directories.


***** V1.35 *****

Fixed: No item selected after currently selected tabber item removed

Fixed: wrong font being released when context deleted

Fixed: Fkeys not generating initial key char event

Fixed: CreateBank/ResizeBank not zeroing memory

Fixed: StartNetGame failing in debug mode

Fixed: SetTextAreaText not working with empty text areas

Fixed: CommandLine$() not working in exe

Fixed: Notify 'serious' flag being ignored

Fixed: RemoveGadgetItem bug with tabbers

Fixed: ModifyGadgetItem causing corrupt text with tabbers

Fixed: AddGadgetItem causing all sorts of problems!

Fixed: GadgetText$() crashing when gadget has no text

Fixed: HotKeyEvent overflowing.

Fixed: Recursive End syndrome!

***** V1.34 *****

Public Release!

Major additions/changes:

* Improved Blitz2D compatiblity - WaitTimer, FontWidth, StringHeight are back.

* Improved debugger performance - should be possible to break out of any program now!

* Ability to modify gadget fonts - see SetGadgetFont

* Textarea formatting commands - see TextArea docs

* New events for mouse enter/exit - see WaitEvent docs

* Greater control over image memory management - see LoadImage 'flags' discussion

* IconStrips; for adding icons to listboxes, comboboxes and tabbers - see Icon-Strips docs

* Hotkey support - see HotKeyEvent in Event docs

* Direct access to underlying OS gadget handles (HWNDs) - see QueryObject

* Experimental OpenGL and 'Native' graphics drivers - use CountGfxDrivers/SetGfxDriver to access alternate
graphics drivers.

Some miscellaneous notes:

* OpenGL and Native drivers are highly experimental - but results so far are good. Locking OpenGL buffers
is currently very slow, and not recommended for realtime use.

* DesktopBuffer() is currently only available under the DirectDraw graphics driver.

* Textarea formatting is still a little flaky, and requires a fair bit of experimentation in order to
get good results. The textarea gadget really needs to be rewritten from scratch; the windows RichEdit
control is pretty rough.


***** V1.33 *****

Fixed: 'Lock failed' problem and associated glitches.


***** V1.31 *****

Fixed: Crash when using debugger to kill app.

Fixed: DebugLog in release mode using console.

Fixed: GraphicsDepth() returning bytes instead of pixels.


***** V1.30 *****

Fixed: Crash when using banks with userlibs.

Fixed: Crash when freeing an event source while in handler.

Changed: HotKeyEvent now takes scancodes. Modifier flags are 1=shift, 2=ctrl, 4=alt, or any combination of.


***** V1.29 *****

Fixed: FreeTreeViewNode.

Fixed: Slider value not changing when window resized.

Fixed: Losing capture when different mouse button released.

Added: Mouse enter ($205) and Mouse leave ($206) events for canvas gadgets.

Added: AppBeginModal ($2004) and AppEndModal ($2005) events.

Added: HotKeyEvent char,modifier,event_id,event_data,event_x,event_y,event_z,event_source


***** V1.28 *****

Fixed: uninitialized slider variables.

Fixed: DirectDraw display mode same as desktop problem.


***** V1.27 *****

Fixed: DisableMenu not working when used on a menu with children.

Fixed: Crash when CreateToolBar image doesn't exist - returns 0 instead.

Fixed: OpenGL font positioning - now adjusted by ascent not height.

Fixed: missing trailing '0' on FP->str conversion with negative vals.

Fixed: asc() returning negative values for results >127.


***** V1.26 *****

Added OpenGL and DIB drivers: use CountGfxDrivers/GfxDriverName/SetGfxDriver.

SetGfxDriver restarts all drivers, so GUI, Audio etc will close down and reopen too (hopefully with
no leaks!)

GDI driver uses my own crusty-but-stable blit routines as they appear to be faster than BitBlt!
More research required...

OpenGL driver is currently very simple: one tex-per-graphic, no max tex size checking etc. No pbuffers
or render-to-texture, so rendering to offscreen buffers and using lockbuffer/unlockbuffer on backbuffer()
is *slow*.

Fixed userlibs.

Fixed RectsOverlap bug.

Fixed AutoMidhandle bug.

Fixed...oh...a bunch of other stuff...

Added:

QueryObject( obj,qid ) queries an object for 'platform specific' properties.

QueryObject() is a mechanism to get at platform specific handles within platform neutral Blitz objects.

Its intentionally ugly to remind users they're going 'outside' of Blitz, and to save me having to add
platform specific commands, which I really, really want to avoid.

qid means 'query id' and can be one of:

1 : Win32 HWND (for use with gadgets)
2 : Win32 Client HWND (use this instead if you're after a 'parent' hwnd - some gadgets use 2 hwnds)
3 : Win32 HFONT (for use with fonts)

eg:

window=CreateWindow( "My Window",0,0,640,480 )

hwnd=QueryObject( window,1 ) ;returns windows HWND


***** V1.25 *****

Lost events fixed.

Replace fixed again.

IDE open initial dir set to most recent file


***** V1.24 *****

Rset$() fixed.

Trim$() fixed.

Replace$() fixed.

ListBox selection of null item fixed.

Excessive mouse move events fixed.

Vidmem reps of managed surfaces now created 'on demand'. Should speed up graphic mode switches.

Fixed gadget layout div-by-0 bug.

Fixed loading of un-installed fonts.


***** V1.23 *****

Fixed desktop->fullscreen crash.

Fixed window style flags behaviour.


***** V1.22 *****

Fixed (on my machine anyway) crash on exit/exception problem under Win95/98.

Fixed strings. May still be leaks - test hard!

Fixed error checking of null bank for CallDll.

Fixed ResizeBank.

Fixed SaveBuffer/SaveImage.

Fixed CommandLine.


***** V1.21 *****

Fixed ButtonState.

Fixed multiple ComboBox gadget action events.

Fixed missing trailing '\' from CurrentDir$(). Again.

Restored SystemProperty$().


***** V1.20 *****

Lots of bug fixes.

Major internal rearrangement.

Scaled windowed 'Graphics' gone - use a canvas instead.

RequestColor() now returns true for 'OK', false for 'CANCEL'.

New image flags added for LoadImage, LoadAnimImage, CreateImage:

1 : managed (image is frequently drawn but seldomn modified - this is the default)
2 : dynamic (image is frequently drawn and modified)
4 : scratch (image is seldomn drawn or modified)

Managed images are the default.

Dynamic images are the fastest, but can be 'lost' when the display mode changes. This means the
content of the image will be scrambled, and you will need to restore the image content.

Scratch images are slow all round but consume no videomemory. Good for title pages etc.

Note that canvas buffers and back buffers should be considered 'dynamic'.

The are now 2 runtimes - release (runtime.dll) and debug (runtime_dbg.dll).


***** V1.11 *****

Fixed Origin() bug.

Fixed Eof() bug.

Appended '\' to CurrentDir() for backwards compatibility.

Modified audio lib so it silently fails on all funcs if FMOD failed to initialize.


***** V1.10 *****

Initial release version!
