NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 9 RELEASE NOTES
August 28, 2001

FEATURES
* Added support for privacy alerts when using IE6

  allow NT/2k based roaming and user profiles
  - moved toolbar settings (toolbar.dat) to AppData folder
  - moved url blocking `(block.dat) to AppData folder from registry
  - moved PopupCaptor list (popup.dat) to AppData folder from 
    registry

  opened from an external link (See NetCaptor Options > Startup).

CHANGES
* Favorites menu now shows captions up to 80 chars long before 
  shortening them

  The old one had redundant functionality with the address bar.
* Moved Url Blocking, PopupCaptor out of Options form to own forms
  available from Tools menu

  embedded "%".

  correctly (no actions applied)
* Fixed problem with using --new startup parameter (should not

  during active navigation
* Dragging URL to desktop from address bar icon no longer raises
  Active Desktop question.

FEEDBACK REQUESTS
* Can CaptorGroups be moved from the current directory under

  one in the list
* Blink is back -- the uproar can now cease :-)

NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 6 RELEASE NOTES
June 20, 2001

FIXES
* Thanks to an MS knowledge base article we're trapping javascript
  errors the right way. Yehaa!
* Fixed problem with NetCaptor not letting Windows shutdown when
  its running (resurfaced in beta 5)
* Fixed minor PopupCaptor problem on shutdown
* Removed the multiple red status indicators (beta 5). They tended
  to change too quickly and caused lots of "jumpiness" without
  providing any real information.
* Form initialization order changed... should fix multiple copies
  of pages at startup

CHANGES
* F4 hotkey now focuses and drops down the address bar combo
  as it does in IE. Use CTRL + I to hide/show the CaptorBar
* Added registry option AddNetCaptorUA that specifies whether
  NetCaptor should add a sub-section to the Internet Explorer
  user agent when NetCaptor is running. Its a string value, "1"
  is the default, "0" is used to tell NetCaptor not to load its
  user agent.
* New ad system added to the free version of NetCaptor
  See this url for complete information:
  - http://www.netcaptor.com/smash.php

TRANSLATION CHANGES
* Added to [OPTIONS] section
ShowActiveTitleInCaption=Show active title in window caption
* Added to [MAIN] section
MenuHelpTellFriend=Tell a Friend...
MenuHelpTellFriendHint=Tell a Friend|Tell a friend about NetCaptor

------------------------------------------------------------------
NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 5 RELEASE NOTES
May 30, 2001 -- PRO USERS ONLY

FEATURES
* Double-clicking a tab now closes it (as well as middle button,
  and CTRL + Right Click). This is really only included for users
  whose default middle mouse action is double click. It doesn't
  work as well as a standard middle mouse click because it will
  bring an inactive tab to the front and then close it, instead of
  just closing it like a middle mouse click.
* Changed tab status indicators so status moves left to right
  instead of bottom to top
* Added pending status indicators for connecting status (red)

FIXES
* Fixed problem with NetCaptor not starting URLs from command-line
  when minimized to system tray (would popup, not open new url)
* Fixed BIG problem with some popup windows causing grey,
  blank tabs
* Fixed last open sites problem saving and reopening some
  advertisements
* Fixed problem with black line on left end of tab lock icon
* Fixed problem with tab status indicators updating before 
  navigation (but not download) is complete
* Fixed loading .url files at startup (invoking NC) causing 
  "Do you want to download..." dialog. Worked correctly if NC
  already open, not at startup.
* Top line (bold) of confirmation dialog not automatically sizes
  correctly (was cutting off larger fonts).
* Fixed problem with "Send link by email" under Outlook, OE
  where URL had embedded &'s. Now handled properly (UrlEncoded).

CHANGES
* Removed SHIFT + Home shortcut indicator for tab home function,
  it didn't work anyway and causes edit conflicts.
* Changed status indicators... red for connecting (spins to show
  progress), yellow gradients for loading, and green when a page
  is completed loaded. Sort of a hybrid between previous versions
  and beta 4.
* Reverted to javascript error suppression mode from beta 2.
  This will clear up some HTML rendering issues that resulted from
  the prepended error script. Should still get MOST script errors,
  but miss some on frames related sites.

------------------------------------------------------------------
NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 4 RELEASE NOTES
May 8, 2001

FEATURES
* Tab icons now display mini progress bar
* Middle mouse button (or wheel) click on tab closes clicked tab

FIXES

------------------------------------------------------------------
NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 3 RELEASE NOTES
April 26 2001

FEATURES
* CTRL + Right click will close clicked tab
* Added .mht files to defaults in Open dialog

FIXES
* Fixed problem with AltGr + Q (international @) symbol
* Pro: problem with url blocking requiring reload of list
* Javascript error handling method reworked, should get almost all
  of them, except for sites which provide their own handling

------------------------------------------------------------------
NETCAPTOR 6.5 BETA 2 RELEASE NOTES
April 23 2001

FEATURES
* Added online favorites functionality with Blink. Available from 
  the CaptorBar and toolbar. Try it out!
* Added Aliases functionality. Its like QuickSearch, but without
  the search. You can assign shortcuts to characters typed in the
  address bar and navigate automatically when you hit ENTER.
  For example, you can setup the shortcut 'n' to take you to 
  'http://www.netcaptor.com/'. See the Tools menu, Aliases.
* Right-clicking on back, forward buttons will drop history menu
* Optimized some startup code so that NetCaptor now loads at a 
  minimum of 4/10 of a second faster.

FIXES
* Javascript error suppression now almost flawless.
* Fixed "send link by email" not showing correct page title 
  in the subject
* Under IE5, tabbing between form fields clears the contents of
  origin field (where cursor was located before the TAB).
* File menu, Offline now always accurately reflects offline status
* NetCaptor Pro only - url blocking can cause extra javascript 
  errors, in spite of error suppression, because some sites 
  malfunction when content is blocked
* Fixed bug in which using SHIFT + ENTER autocomplete wouldn't
  open result on a new browser tab even if New tab is selected 
  in NetCaptor options

CHANGES
* When in CaptorGroup startup mode, and an external link invokes
  NetCaptor, NetCaptor will bypass the startup CaptorGroup and 
  only load the invoking URL.

NOTES
* Under NetCaptor Pro, with Url Blocking turned on, download 
  managers that require a http namespace will not work correctly.

TODO - FIXES
* Numeric keyboard right,left keys move cursor 2 chars in
  html form input boxes

TODO - ON HOLD
* Fix BACKSPACE problems in java apps
  http://myfamily.at/chat
  Also, choose daily crosswords under:
  http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/style/crosswords/
* Can't select an item from HTML form combo box with TAB key,
  (workaround -- use ENTER)
* CAN'T FIX - Double-clicking on address bar text, in conjunction 
  with rapid, drag-and-drop movement of text can cause NC to hang
  Only happens in IE5-style autocomplete. It appears that
  SHLWAPI.DLL (implements IE5+ autocomplete) gets stuck inside
  some ugly loop. My assembler is a bit weak, so I'm not sure 
  why.

------------------------------------------------------------------
