Bommanews Plus - History

Known Bugs

All versions of B-news GU equal to 0.1.2 and later can have some problems with Windows 95/98/ME

Bommanews Plus v0.1.7

Thanks to all the beta testers and specially to: Scsi, Blackadder, ¿¿¿¿ ßa®T€L ¿¿¿¿, Tommy T
build 99 : Fixed the problem with the internal filebrowser on Windows XP SP2 environments. Thanks to Hephaestus for reporting the solution.
build 98 : Control-A now selects all items in the current newsgroup.
build 97 : Removed the content-type header from yEnc post. This was needed for Gravity to be able to decode yEnc post.
build 96 : Fixed the repair post utility. It reposted the whole file when you repaired a yEnc post.
build 95 : The generation of the B-news URL of yEnc post was faulty. The bug is corrected and it now works correctly.
build 94 : Fixed bug in the smart repost utility (right-click-> repair this post). The yEnc subject was parsed incorrectly which caused B-news to crash. The Bnews-url for Yenc posts is also generated correctly.
build 93 : Post who do not contain yEnc but yenc or some other casing will now show up as "blue dots" too.
build 92 : Added extra option in the varia configuration menu. It is now possible to ignore the crc information send with the message.
build 91 : Fixed Mke URL dialog. It generated an illegal URL when only selecting a start date.
build 90 : Added some extra recovery code in the posting engine to prevent b-news from hanging during a server crash. Fixed repair errorcodes in the config window. It now works.
build 89 : "WSK_DataArrival error" fixed. It was caused by the progressive downloader wich didn't closed it's connection.
build 88 : Fixed bug in yEnc posting of files. B-news did not always double leading dots. This caused the newsserver to skip a byte from time to time, making the posted file corrupt. However the 0.1.6 version of B-News plus was still able to download the post, but not the more recent versions. This was due to the fact the the 0.1.6 version of B-news did some error correcting on the post. I'll be looking in to the fact why I did remove this feature.
build 87 : It is now possible to repair partially posted files.
build 86 : Fixed the statusbar of download window. Possition of some windows, sortorders and col sizes are now saved.
build 85 : End of beta period, statistics window now support TB and more.
build 84 : Moved the code for the appending of parts to the dll=> minor performance improvement.
build 82,83: Some testing to fix win98 bug (which failed). :(
build 81: Text messages are now visible again in B-news plus, also made some minor changes.
build 78,79,80: Some small performance improvements, win 98 problem fix test builds. Manny thanks for Joske for his feedback.
build 77: If you would try to upload and download at the same time, B-news would give an 'Bad file name or number' error. It is fixed now.
build 77: The upload now works again like it should, posting also the even files. The yEnc donwload was broken due too a very stupid bug.
build 76: Made b-news plus more restrictive for filenames. Files/directories may no longer end on some special characters, b-news will rename them automaticaly. Also changed the renaming of a file when an crc error occurs (due to the problems of some people trying to rename the file). B-news plus will now preserve the original extension.
build 75: Another error catching statement uncommented. Also a small improvement in the upload queue handling. Fixed the crash on the "dvl-anal.r07" file, b-news will not crash anymore, but the file will still be corrupt.
build 74: Forgot to uncomment something from during testing.
build 73: Some small improvements on the upload resume functionality. The auto repair after error is being used again.
build 72: The abort during upload now works again.
build 71: Fixed the "new sub map per item bug" for yEnc downloads.
build 70: Implementation of yEnc uploading.
build 69: Some small adjustments on the upload resume. recoding of statistics window.
build 68: Recoding of the upload resume. Fixed the bug that caused B-news plus to stay in memory after program exit.

Bommanews Plus v0.1.6

Thanks to all the alfa testers and specially to Scsi, Skinny, jawi, hobbel, DaNat, CyberDemon, avanca,.. for their *Ginny-pigging* :-).
build 67 : Improved the resuming from uploads, older versions should be able to download resumed posts. Fixed an error with the bereikophalen feature, incomplete files can now be added correctly to the downloadqueue.
build 66 : Fixed the problem with the incorrect posting date from post posted on some servers.
build 65 : Re-fixed the problem from build 57, must have uncommented a line by accident in a later build. The CRC checking is now correct on single part files for yEnc and B-news posts.
build 64 : B-news plus now supports the most exotic subjects you can imagine. As long as there is an yEnc in the subject for yEnc post and the file-numbering is correct (01/24), it will work.
build 63 : Fixed problem with parsing of =ybegin line, yEnc postings who follow the standard should all be downloadable now. Thanks to nope²nope for reporting the bug.
build 62 : Fixed incorrect reporting of crc error, it occured only with X-news posts due to the non-standard crc notation. Also fixed some handle leaks.
build 61 : Removed incorrect error logging when saving outboxlist.
build 60 : Fixed some problems which made it impossible to download certain yEnc posts. They typically showed up as 25/24 posts. Also fixed a download range bug which prevented the use of the download range feature on incomplete posts.
build 59 : Fixed bug that occurred when making a new directory for illegal subjects. If the subject ended with a '.' the resulting directory would be un-accessible.
build 58 : Fixed another "numbering bug" it occurs only with badly formed subjects like '(1/32) yEnc' instead of 'yEnc (1/32)'. Fixed installer, it will now register the crc control correctly.
build 57 : Another CRC bug, I hope it is the last one. This one reported wrongly that a file consisting of only one part had a CRC error in it. Thanks to McGoo for reporting the bug.
build 56 : All the special features like 'bereik ophalen' should now work with yEnc postings.
build 55 : Partially fixed the exiting bug. It would occur when you had certain B-news windows open during exiting. It is however still possible that b-news does not exits. This can happen when b-news is trying to close a connection to the server that has timed out.
build 54 : Fixed bug which made it impossible to download a post which had some parts double posted. The 36/24 syndrome. B-news will ignore the double posts from now.
build 53 : Fixed the 'ADSL bug' It is now possible to download post from a 1.1.3 versions on some ADLS providers' servers.

Bommanews GU v0.1.5

build 52 : Added extra option to delete the downloaded files from the download list directly after download. As requested by Scsi.
build 51 : Fixed bug in the sorting on post date of the download list.
build 50 : Fixed bug that caused b-news to crash when resizing the download window to a very small size. Thanks to Wilm Rasmussen for the bug report.
build 49 : Fixed another CRC bug. This one gave a false CRC warning when checking the total CRC, if the CRC was shorter than 8 characters in Hexadecimal notation. On average this only occured once every 25 files, hence I didn't stumble onto it during debugging.
build 48 : Fixed bug with CRCchecking from each part. It was actually still in debugmode for testing the resume function :$ Also corrected the incorrect reporting of CRC errors after a time-out had occurred.
build 47 : Fixed authentication bug inherited from B-news. B-news GU will now send the authentication information if required.

Bommanews GU v0.1.4

build 46 : Fixed the aboutGU dialog that I broke in a previous build.
build 45 : A stupid bug in the resuming of downloads has been fixed.

Bommanews GU v0.1.3

build 29-32: The sorting of the download list should now give precedence to partially downloaded files.
build 28 : Fixed 2 cancel bugs, caused by cancelling messages which didn't exist.
build 15-27: Fixed countless bug arisen from implementing the resume for upload and cancel features.
build 12-14: Fixed bug that caused b-news to crash when a subject started with a large number. Fixed a crash after minimizing the statistics window.
