Version history of YanCond, Yanoff Java conduit

2002-03-20
- Updated installer for the CDK4.02a, with the new JSyncInstaller
  and Java 1.3

2001-11-?? version 1.0pre8
Updated installer to handle spaces in path name

2001-11-06 version 1.0pre7
Removed bug when threading an article with a null msgId
Added option to send MODE READER to news server just after
connecting

2001-08-07 version 1.0pre5
Now use Nullsoft's NSIS installer, which seems to work better
than the ancient InstallShield I was using.

2001-01-12 version 1.0pre3
New installation procedure, using a C program. This should
help against the Windows 2000 problems.

2000-06-26 version 0.9.12
The Action in "Custom" now reflects the Skip Sync checkbox
Renamed Yanoff2 and History2 to Yanoff and History, resp.
Made History use Sorter instead of its own quicksort
Uploaded yancond to sourceforge.net
Remove "EXPERIMENTAL" marking of threading and MsgID purging
Implemented my own NNTP and SMTP wrapper classes, so that
NetComponents is not necessary anymore. Sorry, Daniel.
Implemented the Poll Prefs (get only headers, get bodies of 
marked headers, etc.)

2000-05-16 version 0.9.11
Use with Yanoff 1.4.2b or 1.4.4
Implemented threading
Squashed some bugs (tidyArticle() with a null body)
Implemented Sorter class and Comparable interface. Comparable
is the same as in Java2.
Implemented purging of old MsgID's

2000-04-10 version 0.9.10
Use with Yanoff version 1.4.2b.
Now the conduit sorts History, using quicksort, Yanoff sorts the subscriptions
Added simple conduit progress dialog. Anybody knows of
a GPL ProgressBar class for Java-1.1?
The debug level now works also for normal level,
using the Util.DEBUG(String) method

2000-03-28 version 0.9.9
Completely rewrote database handling, introduced
the PalmRecord and PalmDatabase classes. This
should handle things hanging around when the
conduit aborts abnormally.
Added some more Custom options, like a debug flag,
only sync once a day, don't sync at all.
A Yanoff update is needed, because some databases
need to be re-sorted after the conduit has done
its thing.
Rewrote the NewsRC handling, now not using the 
Mozilla classes.

2000-02-14 version 0.9
Fixed NNTP authentication
Implemented newsrc synchronisation, one newsrc file per server. Articles
are marked "read" in the newsrc file when they are transferred to 
the Palm. Articles that are already marked "read" are not 
transferred to the Palm. When you change a server name or address 
on the Palm, its newsrc sync is switched off.

2000-02-09 version 0.8
Now respect art max kb preference
Implemented poll from start preference
Word-wrap outgoing articles
Added conduit configure dialog, which doesn't do much (yet)
Updates for Yanoff 1.4 final (wordwrap line size in preferences)
Hopefully squashed the bug when the Palm's RAM filled up
Initial implementation of NNTP authentication

2000-01-31 version 0.7
Added using SMTP and NNTP ports from server preferences. Not tested.
Updates for Yanoff 1.4b2, notably custom headers
Conduit now honours server don't poll flag
Read Yanoff version from preferences
Made an easily installable version using InstallShield Express

2000-01-26 version 0.6a
Updated the COPYRIGHT file according to Daniel F. Savarese's comments.
Documented some undocumented features in the TODO list (under BUGS ;-)

2000-01-25 version 0.6
Updates for Yanof 1.4beta1 database changes
Added support for multiple news servers
Added ServerRecord class
Added outgoing e-mail (SMTP) support
Included NetComponents runtime in distrubution; mentioned it in the COPYING file

2000-01-13 version 0.5a
Killed a bug that inserted unavailable articles into the Palm database
anyway.

2000-01-12 version 0.5
Polling newsgroups now works (more or less).

2000-01-12 version 0.4
Added Preferences class, to read (and in the future write) Yanoff' preferences. 
The conduit now uses the news server from the preferences.
Started work on a new Yanoff class, to do all the real work (and let YanoffConduit be 
an almost empty shell).
Conduit now reads all databases (except the articles themselves) to the PC, 
so that we won't have to close-open-close-open Palm databases all the time.

2000-01-10 version 0.3a
Reorganised towards packages name palm.conduit.yanoff and main class
YanoffConduit. 

2000-01-7 version 0.3
Implemented posting of articles (no mail yet) from the Outgoing folder. If 
successful, the articles are removed. The news server is hard-coded into
yancond.java. Fixed Palm<>Java date conversions (I hope).

2000-01-04 version 0.1
Initial pre-alpha release. Some working code, dumps Yanoff databases to 
hotsync log. No real functionality.
