Release: Notes:
2.0.9 2/14/2006 First public beta release of the new TranSender2. In case you are wondering, this does indicate that there is finally some major progress on the neXpect MindDesigner... This "stand-alone" version of the TranSender for Ecco includes the entire MindDesigner code base in a limited configuration. Your testing here will greatly help the MindDesigner effort.
2.0.7 12/12/2003

Numerous fixes were made in shared code used by the basic outliner, and in the underlying database routines. All of these were related more specifically to the MindDesigner and KnowledgeLens interfaces and (hopefully) will have little or no functional impact on the TranSender for Ecco.

several fixes were made to the startup routines that detect whether the currently open Ecco file is correctly configured for use with the TranSender

added <ctrl>-s as an alternative gesture to save from the pop-up transender

added elapsed time logging to items created in the pop-up transender, it is not possible to pause and resume, or see a running clock, but is logging is enabled in the configuration, the elapsed time will be entered along with the item

fixed an obscure race condition in the Ecco DDE Object Library that caused a crash if an item was created in the TranSender, was deleted in Ecco during the same session, and then Ecco happened to assign the same ID to a new item created by the TranSender.

2.0.6 11/18/2003 Fixed a critical problem which caused a crash while transitioning from the simple text window to the outliner window with a <ctrl>-<Enter>
2.0.5 11/16/2003

Fixed a critical problem with text not wrapping correctly in an outline item.

Enabled "stay-open" for the outline mode of the transender.

Fixed the version info in the About dialog.

2.0.4 11/13/2003

Added ability to choose different meta chords for hot-key.

If folders required for the logger didn't exist in Ecco, they were not created on first connection to the Ecco file. Later when the logger was enabled, they were not present and could not be created automatically, now they get created regardless of whether the logger is enabled when the Ecco file is first configured.

Most of the work in this release was related to performance tuning in the neXpect MindDesigner. Massive amounts of changes have been made "behind the scenes" to improve the performance of very large outlines. These changes really only become visible for outlines of 500 items or more and are mostly related to outlines that are persisted in SQL-Server, so it is unlikely that you will notice any performace changes in the Outlook "hoister". Be aware though that there may be new bugs.

A bug was fixed in the outliner that caused a crash in the non-RDB versions if certain sequences of indent-outdent operations were performed. If a sub-item was outdented to become a top-level item, then re-indented and new sub-items of it were created, an internal consistency check was failing. The check was related to the fact that top-level items must be in the containing folder (not visible in the hoister, only in MindDesigner) while sub-items are not in the containing folder unless explicitly placed there. FWIW, this was the *only* bug reported by only one beta tester.

Backups were implemented in the pop-up outliners. Now every item level change (create, delete, indent, outdent, move) will cause a backup of your current outline to be saved. Five backups are saved. If you encounter a crash, you will be able to re-import your data up to the last operation.

The sizing tab was obscuring the logger timer. The tab was removed.

2.0.3 10/17/2003

fixed a problem with the appearance dialog

fixed manifest so that WinXP styles are used

2.0.2 10/17/2003

version number string should now show current version (there is still a cosmetic problem with "//" instead of "/" in the date...)

there is now an option in the appearance setup to have no border around the outliner

the default icon has changed, please try several of the different icons and let me know your opinion on which one would be best for the default

link to appearances setup added to tools menu in the outliner, now in both the outliner and on the main screen

the main window now gets re-focused after connecting to Ecco

the location and size of the outliner is now correctly restored

2.0.1 10/13/2003

fixed links to import / export OPML

fixed problem with opening multiple outlines at the same time

added version and view name to title bar so that it is easier to recognize in the task bar

added ability to install and run without having EccoHelpers installed previously, required Active-X control is now embedded in the TranSender executable.

2.0.0 10/10/2003 Initial beta release of standalone TranSender idea window V2.0 for Ecco.
