News Clipper

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.23

Notes:
New since version 1.20:
- Added FTP code which somehow didn't get into version 1.20.
- Added a check to make sure that an incompatible handler will not be loaded
  and used.
- Fixed a bug in error message reporting
- Expanded the arguments to the handler subroutines ProcessAttributes,
  FilterType, OutputType, GetUpdateTimes, and GetDefaultHandlers, providing
  attribute information and data. [This should be backwards compatible with
  existing handlers which do not expect or use the new data.]
- Added "forNewsClipperVersion" attribute to NewsClipper.cfg
- Updated ConvertHandler and ConvertConfig to detect the version of the
  handler or NewsClipper.cfg, and only apply the changes that are necessary to
  bring it up to the current version.
- Fixed a bug where a newly downloaded update to a handler would not be used
  until the next execution of News Clipper.
- Added use of socketTries through more of the code (not just when fetching
  remote data).
- Added support for type names containing spaces.
- Fixed MakeHandler.pl so that it doesn't insert comment characters ("#") into
  the syntax information. (bugfix)
