    1.39 +Release 145 made by Graham Asher on 7th October 1999
    1.40 +====================================================
    1.41 +
    1.42 +This release is intended for Text 6.0.
    1.43 +
    1.44 +Fixed the following defects reported in Symbian Defect Tracking:
    1.45 +
    1.46 +EDNGASR-4BWKHA: ETEXT test code ought not to depend on the text window server
    1.47 +EDNGASR-4CFD6Q: Import and export of Unicode plain text doesn't conform to the Unicode standard
    1.48 +
    1.49 +Release 144 made by Graham Asher on 27th September 1999
    1.50 +=======================================================
    1.51 +
    1.52 +This release is intended for Text 6.0.
    1.53 +
    1.54 +Removed ancient history from this file (release.txt). You can still look at it by getting older versions.
    1.55 +
    1.56 +Fixed the following defects reported in Symbian Defect Tracking:
    1.57 +
    1.58 +EDNGASR-4C2EHD: ETEXT should build for WINC platform
    1.59 +EDNGASR-4C2EE5: CParaFormat::CopyL uses the heap unnecessarily.
    1.60 +EDNGASR-4C2ECH: TBullet's character code ought to be initialised to a bullet
    1.61 +
    1.62 +While fixing the problem with CParaFormat::CopyL I was able to tidy up the construction and freeing of heap-based attributes: tabs, bullets and borders. I also removed or corrected many redundant and misleading comments.
    1.63 +
    1.64 +
    1.65 +Release 105 made by Graham Asher on 3rd March 1999
    1.66 +==================================================
    1.67 +
    1.68 +This version is intended for ER5u.
    1.69 +
    1.70 +Removed Standard Unicode Compression Scheme code. This is now in STORE 061. Changed txtetext.cpp to use the STORE version. Made ETEXT dependent on STORE 061.
    1.71 +
    1.72 +Release 104 made by Lane Roberts on 28th January 1999
    1.73 +=====================================================
    1.74 +
    1.75 +- Changed copyright messages to refer to Symbian.
    1.76 +- Upgraded MNT VALID to use EVALID.
    1.77 +- Binaries (.dll, .lib & .map) validate against 103.
    1.78 +
    1.79 +Release 103 made by Graham Asher on 27th January 1999
    1.80 +=====================================================
    1.81 +Fixed the following bug (see 'ER5 defects'):
    1.82 +
    1.83 +EDN952697: Invalid assertion in CPlainText::Extract()
    1.84 +
    1.85 +Release 102 made by Graham Asher on 19th January 1999
    1.86 +=====================================================
    1.87 +Fixed the following bugs (see 'ER5 defects'):
    1.88 +
    1.89 +EDN108721: Unicode byte order mark is the wrong value
    1.90 +EDN724804: CRichText::RemoveSpecificParaFormatL fails in debug mode if aLength is zero
    1.91 +EDN342775: mnt file problems (gets pdb files for release versions & getrel doesn't work)
    1.92 +
    1.93 +Release 101 made by Graham Asher on 11th January 1999
    1.94 +=====================================================
    1.95 +
    1.96 +Fixed the following bugs (see 'ER5 defects'):
    1.97 +
    1.98 +EDN642121: Panic when deleting an unused, user-defined style
    1.99 +EDN700414: CBase 21 panic, Word (ETEXT internalising a corrupt file)
   1.100 +EDN815855: Corrupt file
   1.101 +EDN211326: CStyleList::Remove fails to nullify iStyleForNextPara and iBasedOn pointers
   1.102 +EDN458446: Category() is not used and should be removed
   1.103 +EDN533608: Export as text doesn't output a BOM marker
   1.104 +
   1.105 +Release 100 made by Graham Asher on 30th November 1998
   1.106 +======================================================
   1.107 +
   1.108 +Two important bug fixes (see the 'ER5 defects' database on Notes)
   1.109 +
   1.110 +ETEXT appears to store text on the clipboard differently to older roms
   1.111 +Word panic USER-CBase 21 importing text files
   1.112 +
   1.113 +Release 099 made by David Batchelor on 12th November 1998
   1.114 +=========================================================
   1.115 +
   1.116 +* Backwards compatible with 098
   1.117 +* WINS built with VC5
   1.118 +* Now dependent on BRDCST and FEPBASE
   1.119 +
   1.120 +- Support for front-end-processor inline editing added in CEditableText. This
   1.121 +  consists of 6 new exported functions in that class:
   1.122 +	~CEditableText // calls CancelFepInlineEdit
   1.123 +	StartFepInlineEditL // cannot be called more than once without an intervening CommitFepInlineEditL or CancelFepInlineEdit
   1.124 +	UpdateFepInlineTextL // can only be called once StartFepInlineEditL has been called
   1.125 +	CommitFepInlineEditL // can only be called once StartFepInlineEditL has been called
   1.126 +	CancelFepInlineEdit // can be called regardless of whether StartFepInlineEditL has been called
   1.127 +	OverrideFormatOfInlineTextIfApplicable // (protected) to be called by MLayDoc-deriving classes at the end of their GetChars implementations
   1.128 +  Unfortunately, ETEXT clients won't call the new destructor without
   1.129 +  rebuilding :-(. Not much can be done about that. It shouldn't be very
   1.130 +  problematic if it's not called though. (In fact it should never need to
   1.131 +  be called if front-end processors do what their supposed to.)
   1.132 +
   1.133 +- In order to add new member data to CEditableText in a binary-compatible
   1.134 +  way, I had to do a bit of awkward coding using thread-local storage. This
   1.135 +  is in TXTFEP.H and TXTFEP.CPP.
   1.136 +
   1.137 +- Added a number of bug-fixes as advised by Graham Asher and Andrew Thoelke
   1.138 +  (defect-numbers are from the "EPOC Software Defects" database): SW1-267,
   1.139 +  SW1-316, SW1-323 and SW1-347.
   1.140 +
   1.141 +- Added a cast at line 296 of TXTPLAIN.CPP to prevent a compiler warning.
   1.142 +
   1.143 +- Fixed a bug where "mnt gete32" and "mnt getf32" were both getting WINC
   1.144 +  releasables without the necessary directories having been created in the
   1.145 +  epoc32 directory tree. This was causing all the WINC stuff to overwrite the
   1.146 +  contents of \epoc32\release\wins\udeb :-(.
   1.147 +
   1.148 +- Rearranged "mnt getbld" to a more standard order, and passed the version
   1.149 +  number on to "getsrc". Thus doing a "pgetbld" on versions before the tip
   1.150 +  revision should now work.
   1.151 +
   1.152 +- Commented out the initial "ebld cleantest" call inside "ebld testall".
   1.153 +
   1.154 +- "ebld makeworkdir" now creates \epoc32\include before calling makmake's
   1.155 +  "makework" to prevent makmake errors.
   1.156 +
   1.157 +- No changes were made to the test-code other than getting it to build
   1.158 +  without errors/warnings (well, very nearly without warnings). In order to
   1.159 +  get over the problem of the name clashes of EGray4 etc, it is necessary to
   1.160 +  hack the values of TVideoMode in \epoc32\include\e32twin.h to something
   1.161 +  else (e.g. add an initial '_'). (Test-code for the front-end-processor
   1.162 +  inline editing stuff is planned to be added at a later date.) All the
   1.163 +  WINS DEB and WINS REL test-code completes. However, a fair bit of
   1.164 +  WINS UDEB fails, and I haven't got time to look into this for this release.
   1.165 +  No MARM test-code was run (again, to speed up the release).
   1.166 +
   1.167 +
   1.168 +Release 097 made by Graham Asher on 7th September 1998
   1.169 +======================================================
   1.170 +
   1.171 +The main change, and the reason for this release, is to compress externalized text in the Unicode
   1.172 +build to allay the fears of licensees about the size of stored text. The compression method is
   1.173 +the Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode, described in the Unicode Consortium's web site
   1.174 +at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr6.html. It is relatively easy to implement, fast,
   1.175 +and compresses even very short pieces of text significantly. Text mainly in small alphabetic scripts
   1.176 +(Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, etc.) is compressed to about half its
   1.177 +original size, while pure Chinese text, which is probably the most difficult case, is expanded by
   1.178 +the single byte required to switch to plain uncompressed Unicode.
   1.179 +
   1.180 +I have made some other small changes, mainly to allow the ARM version to buld cleanly.
   1.181 +
   1.182 +Major changes in detail:
   1.183 +
   1.184 +Added UNICOMP.CPP and UNICODE.H to the ETEXT source files; these implement Unicode
   1.185 +compression. All their code is #ifdef'd out in the narrow build.
   1.186 +
   1.187 +Added TXTPLAIN.CPP and TXTPLAIN.H to the ETEXT source files; they replace TXTTRAN.CPP and TXTTRAN.H,
   1.188 +which is no longer exported (it was exported erroneously).
   1.189 +
   1.190 +TXTETEXT.CPP: changed CPlainText::InternalizePlainTextL(RReadStream& aStream),
   1.191 +CPlainText::InternalizePlainTextL(RReadStream& aStream,TInt aLength),
   1.192 +and CPlainText::PasteFromStreamL(RReadStream& aStream,TInt aPos) to expand Unicode text according
   1.193 +to the compression scheme;
   1.194 +changed CPlainText::ExternalizePlainTextL(RWriteStream& aStream) const,
   1.195 +CPlainText::ExternalizePlainTextNoLengthCountL(RWriteStream& aStream) const,
   1.196 +and CPlainText::CopyToStreamL(RWriteStream& aStream,TInt aPos,TInt aLength) const
   1.197 +to compress Unicode text according to the compression scheme.
   1.198 +
   1.199 +Added new exported functions, CPlainText::ImportTextL and CPlainText::ExportTextL, to import and export text in
   1.200 +CR-LF-delimited form. The existing functions work only with files; the new functions work with arbitrary streams.
   1.201 +
   1.202 +TXTETEXT.H: added declarations for CPlainText::ImportTextL and CPlainText::ExportTextL.
   1.203 +
   1.204 +Added a missing DEF file entry to the WINS debug builds: CRichTextStoreMap<CParagraphStyle>::__DbgTestInvariant.
