Weasel Reader

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.59

Notes:
Fixes a serious bug in the Weasel maintained DocInfo list.  This bug is the
cause of the instability in 1.58 as well as the blank screen crashes.  This
release also fixes a crash which occured whenever an annotation was
exported.

Upgrading to 1.59 will erase any resume information or per-document
preferences you may have stored.  This is necessary because of the bug in
1.58.  Your document data will not be changed.

Weasel Reader v1.59
Sunday, July 7, 2002
------------------------------

* Bugfix: Weasel was not allocating enough space in the memo database for
  an exported annotation.  This would cause a crash and a garbage entry in
  the memo DB.  Fixed.  Reported by Dmitry Artamonow.
* Patch submitted by Dmitry Artamonow: Removes unprintable characters from
  annotation/bookmark titles and replaces them with NULLs.  This prevents
  the little box characters from appearing in the anno list or the
  bookmark list.
* Bugfix: A serious bug in the DocInfoAddEntry function has been
  corrected.  The DocInfo list was being sorted with an incorrect number
  of items.  This would result in the list becoming partially sorted, but
  with a correct count of items.  When renaming, or installing a new
  document, doc info data could be lost or cause a crash.  Because Weasel
  >= 1.58 uses a binary search function to search through the DocList, the
  current doclist cannot be easily repaired.  Upon upgrading to 1.59, the
  DocInfo list data is removed.  This will reset all resume positions as
  well as stored prefs.  Oops.
* The version number is now represented internally as a 32 bit number
  instead of a 16 bit number.  This will allow for more minor versions.
  Since 1.60 will be the next stable, and Weasel is already a 1.59, there
  needs to be some way of squeezing more in.  :)
