AiR-BOOT - v0.25b Released
Finally, I got it released. As a so-called
"Have-A-Happy-New-Year"-Release.

Please have a look at the fixes *first*. This version has hidden partitions pre-support. Download it from: http://kiewitz.ath.cx/air-boot/
Have fun with it.
And like everytime: Please do not upload this beta to any public FTP/HTTP/whatever servers. Thanx.

If you got 0.23b/0.24b installed on your system, just make a new AiR-BOOT INSTALL disc and boot from it. You should get prompted, that you may update your copy of AiR-BOOT. Configuration will remain intact.
Fixes this time:
- Second Open-Public Beta Version (BUGFIXED!)
- EZ-SETUP Detection (will not install on such systems)
- Scrolling in Bootmenu now possible (more than 14 bootable partitions)
- Floppy: Get VolumeLabel and the Every-2-Seconds-Get Option are now functional.
- AIRBSET may be executed from the floppy, where it will write to. previously this resulted into an error-message and a damaged disc
- Delay for entering Setup got expanded
Fixes in this 0.24b bugfix-release:
- Booting, when "Include Floppy" was deactivated resulted in booting the FOLLOWING partition, not the one that was selected. I didn't check this option to be working, after I redid the boot-menu.
- Systems >15 partitions do not get save error anymore
- Installer accepts upper-case input
- Hiding Partitions Pre-Support. Will unhide *ANY* hidden partition on every boot
THIS MEANS:
=DO NOT INSTALL TO SYSTEMS THAT RELY ON HAVING HIDDEN PARTITIONS=
Release-Version: 0.25b

btw. 0.26b will have Partition Setup and Hide Partitions-Feature implemented. Hopefully 0.27b will have "FDISK"-like util.

WarpLog ver. 0.99 released

I've just uploaded a new version of my journal/diary program, WarpLog. There have been a few bugs squashed in this release along with the addition of a few minor features:
+ Fixed a problem with loading the RexxUtil libraries
+ Fixed a bug in searches that span more than one year.
+ fixed several minor date handling routines (days of week should be correct now). This only affected the interface and not the storage of data.
+ fixed a leap year bug in the date selection display routine. Again, this did no harm to the data storage.
+ Added a few double-click shortcuts to functions (eg. add/edit from the date selection list).
+ Added limited font selection support (found under "settings").
+ Added window settings to automatically store the position of the program and it's various windows .

WarpLog is free software licensed under the GPL.
