Release 1.0.4

Fixed several bugs.

• All Connection Tools
  Fixed two trivial memory leaks.
  
  
• Modem Tool
  Fixed a trivial (i.e. cosmetic) problem with tehTelefinder client.
  
  
• Serial Tool
  Added a 'programmer only' option to extend the no response timeout.
  
  
• Serial Tool and Modem Tool
  Fixed a bug that would crash the tools when displaying serial driver icons that didn't exist.
  
  
• Modem Tool
  It doesn't nag anymore but you still have to register !
  
  
• Telnet Tool No Host Address
  Fixed a bug whereby you couldn't "listen" under OpenTransport, no change for MacTCP.
  
  
• Telnet Tool Domain Name Resolver
  Fixed a trivial memory leak in the DNR code.

Release 1.0.3

Fixed several bugs and improved some things.

• Extensive Architecture Changes
  All the tools underwent another extensive rewrite - you probably still won't notice.
  
  
• Telnet Tool Remote Close Indicator
  Made some small changes to the way the Telnet Tool detects a remotely closed connection.
  
  
• Telnet Tool Local Echo
  If Host Echo is unavailable during a telnet session then the Telnet Tool now provides it locally.
  
  
• Telnet Tool Hosts Menu
  Restricted the "Hosts" menu to around 30 entries which fixed some problems with large hosts files.

Release 1.0.2

Fixed several bugs and improved some things.

• Extensive Architecture Changes
  All the tools underwent another extensive rewrite - you probably still won't notice, but programmers should take a look at hConn^^.errcode wherever possible.
  
  
• Modem Tool Computability
  The Modem Tool now recognises evan more modems (e.g. Motorola V.34).
  
  
• Modem Tool Cosmetics
  Changed the Modem Tool Status Window to include more verbose messages.
  
  
• Telnet Tool 'Ping Pong'
  Sometimes the telnet tool would engage in 'telnet ping-pong' with some hosts. This was only obvious by a dramatically reduced throughput and is now fixed.
  
  
• Telnet Tool Data Available (programmer's only)
  Sometimes the telnet tool would report data available and then change its mind and return zero bytes. This is legal, but confused some applications and is now altered to not report data that isn't there.
  
  
• Serial Tool / Modem Tool DTR Drop on Connection
  Sometimes the serial and modem tools would drop DTR after establishing a connection. This was caused by a bug in one of the new serial driver calls and has been eliminated by not making the call...

Release 1.0.1

Fixed several bugs and added several new features. Also, the Serial Tool won't nag and I've removed the six minute time limit from all tools. The Telnet and Modem Tools periodically nag, but you can now register them on their own if that's all you'll ever want.

• Extensive Architecture Changes
  All the tools underwent an extensive rewrite - you probably won't notice.
  
  
• Modem Tool Expert Settings
  Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause a system crash when editing the Modem Tool's expert settings.
  
  
• Modem Tool Computability
  The Modem Tool is now compatible with just about everything.
  
  
• Power Book Options (Serial and Modem Tools)
  If you have a PowerBook internal modem that shares the Modem Port, you can now select between internal, external and default.
  
  
• Telnet Tool 'Long Round Trip'
  If a simple send operation took more than ten seconds to complete, the Telnet Tool would attempt to recover and sometimes cause a system crash while doing so (duh). No one noticed this until CompuServe became overloaded. Now fixed.
  
  
• Serial Tool Parity
  The parity settings for the Serial Tool were around the wrong way (duh).
