Hello, TBBETA,
Everything is going OK according with the plans to release a beta in
two weeks. Here is the unedited list of what's already been fixed
since version 4.2:
[*] A registry option to select HTML Charset priority for the viewer (debug
only). You can add a DWORD registry variable HtmlCharSetPriority with value 1
under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat! to make MIME charset have
precedence over html header charset.
[+] Alt+Drag to for rearranging groups of the address book.
[*] Updated positioning code for SmartPad window
[-] (#0006627) Negative number can be defined by downArrow in "Windows Code
Page" option in "Edit Translation table" dialog
[-] If a POP3 server had combined size of messages over 2 GB, the Connection
Center have shown negative counters.
[-] If an attached file had invalid characters, "Save All Attachments To..."
didn't fix the characters, and, as a result, such a file could not be saved by
this menu item
[+] In address book/group tree added column to display address count
[-] Dial-up entry name was not displayed in the connection center
[-] (#0007906) Connection centre stays open (if there is https links inside
HTML message)
[-] Fixed handling of https links (images in HTML messages)
[+] The %RANDOMNUMBER macro to return a random number consisting of decimal
digits ('0'-'9'). The macro may have a parameter which specifies the value, so
the returned number will always be less than this value. The returned number is
not "sticky", i.e. its behaviour is the opposite to %TRACKINGNUMBER
[-] (#0007923) Deleting an address book group with subgroups causes problems
[*] Added support for some non-compliant date formats in RFC-822 messages.
[-] Import from old The Bat! message base format (.MSB) didn't work
[-] If you run The Bat! over a message base created by a very old version of
The Bat! (with .MSB message base extension), auto conversion didn't work
[-] Import from TBB files could corrupt the source file if it was not The Bat!
message base. This meant that if a user did select a menu item to import from
TBB and picked the wrong file by mistake, this file became lost
[-] Import from TBB files did create the index file in place. This behavior is
not desirable, now the index in such cases is created in the %temp% folder and
deleted once the import is complete
[-] (#0005008) The Bat! could not import plain TB!2.xx folder (.TBB) in OTFE
[+] Internal NTLM implementation is supported by POP protocol (/NTLM_INTERNAL
command-line switch)
[!] The Bat! uses "Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Instructions Set"
to improve the speed of AES algorithm, that is used in TLS and S/MIME. Intel
AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning with the all
new 2010 Intel Core processor family based on the 32nm Intel micro-architecture
codename Westmere. To test whether your CPU supports the new instruction set,
run The Bat! with /AES_BENCHMARK command line parameter, which must be the
single command line parameter, and it must be case-sensitive. It will also show
the performance difference between the old and new instructions.
[-] Proxy connections didn't work with TLS
[+] Google Contacts can be imported into Address Book
[+] Address book can be exported to Google Contacts
[-] (#0007937) Redirection is supported for image links in HTML messages
[-] (#0007917) Additional fix for image links with redirection
[-] (#0005959) Exported vCards with pictures have incorrect encoding
specification
[-] (#0007948) Preferences: Useless horizontal scrollbar in node "SmartBat
Editor"
[-] (#0007675) PNG Picture Import Problem. Address Book is unable to import
pictures in PNG format. Attempts result in alert box with error message:
"Unknown Graphics Stream Format"
[+] (#0007527) Added some new CA certificates to the "Trust Root CA" address
book
[+] Plugin interface to access message content
[+] Plugin interface to make reply to message
[-] It was not possible to derive a certificate signing request from a
self-signed CA certificate.
[+] In S/MIME internal implementation, added support for "Signing Certificate
Attribute Definition Version 2" (SigningCertificateV2)
[-] Some error messages weren't given to the user
[-] (#0007896) Untranslatable warning "Cannot compress the folder xxx" when is
no space available
[+] Plugin interface to access accounts, folders and messages
[-] (#0005598) Export from Address Book to .CSV adds weird characters - "\20"
instead of spaces
[-] (#0006131) Text imported to AB (into Notes field) is randomly truncated
[-] (#0003427) Birthdays are displayed as a day early in the Address Book pane
for GMT-
[-] (#0006989) If birthday in vCard is activate and the vCard is send with a
e-mail birthday is changed one day earlier
[-] 0007665: Cosmetic bugs in the German interface under Windows Vista
[+] Plugin interface to forward/redirect messages
[+] Plugin interface to copy/move/delete messages
[+] Unicode SmartPad
[+] Plugin interface to create new messages
[-] (#0007483) AV on click at added TBK file in Restore window
[+] Plugin interface for working with lists of messages and mail addresses.
[-] (#0003420) Wrong foldernames if Accountname has a slash or backslash
character
[-] (#0007680) Impossible to compose US-ASCII encoded messages with MicroEd
[-] (#0005605) Message finder: Searching in encrypted messages doesn't work
[-] Nested IMAP folders weren't scanned
[-] Message deletion from POP server wasn't working properly
[+] Plugin method to get version info about host application.
[+] Plugin method to sort list of messages.
[-] Contacts in address book cannot be dragged to another group
[-] If The Bat! run under Windows 7, the exceptions log did log this OS as
"Windows Vista".
[-] (#0007975) 5.0.0.12 Exception in IMAP handling (ALPHA issue)
[+] Ability to register plugin notifications about current
account/folder/message changed.
[-] "Invalid pointer operation" while importing/exporting Google contacts.
[*] Protocol logs are by default kept in the account folder, not in the %EMAIL%
folder.
[*] New IMAP queue to accommodate locks on WU IMAP server
[+] IMAP now closes unnecessary connections and does not open the connections
that it doesn't need
[+] IMAP now uses the UNSELECT command, if supported by the server
[-] The IMAP folder manager sometimes didn't update folders
[+] Instant message counters at startup
[!] Instant Counters: The Bat! displays the number of messages in accounts and
folders immediately upon startup
[+] Support for IMAP IDLE extension
[+] Streaming ability for ITBPStringProvider and it's descendants
[*] IMAP-related improvements
[+] The Inbox folder on IMAP now has priority over other folders when updating
counters
[-] Fixed two memory overruns
[-] If you have started and exited The Bat! often, e.g. using it from command
line in a bath file, it could start slowly.
[!] Faster startup time for multi-core processors.
[!] Increased speed of The Bat! start-up. The Bat! now performs time-consuming
startup routines (like loading of plug-ins, parsing of interface definition
files) in parallel. The performance boost is noticeable on old single-core
CPUs, because disk and processor operations now run simultaneously. On
multi-core CPUs and multiprocessor systems the boost is even higher because
processor operations are combined. Besides that, we've done optimizations in
slower parts of code by implementing fast algorithms, which increases speed
regardless of number of CPUs or cores, by 0.5 to 4 seconds, depending on
processor speed.
[-] When an antivirus or an antispam plugin failed to load properly, The Bat!
gave an error message that was completely covered by the splash screen and the
user could not click OK button on the error message.
[+] When The Bat! did remove antivirus and antispam plugin as a cause of their
failure to load properly, it now preservers the configuration files, renaming
them to .BAK and informing the user about that.
[-] The Bat! thought that there were a plugin failure but actually it wasn't
[*] The splash window is now shown in an upper part of the screen to avoid
troubles with plugins that show error messages in the center of the screen.
Previously, such messages were overwritten by the splash screen.
[-] Finally (we hope) fixed the interface glitches.
[-] Fixed a bug in PGP key ID calculation
[-] (#0002166) View Mode: 'Use by...' options (folders) are stored after
pressing OK but if you press 'Use by...' again, you won't see these boxes
checked
[-] Folder|Refilter gave AV after closing the window
[-] (#0004100) Filter don't evaluate condition well if there are two in line,
and the action was to copy or move a message from IMAP to POP3 account
[-] (#0003582) Handling of filters corrupted, when Group Handle contains white
space
[+] (#0006132) Improved algorithm of Sorting Office e-mail comparison. Now
"Is", when it applies to sender or recipient, can be used with a pure e-mail
address. If a message contains only one sender or recipient, you will be
allowed to use only pure e-mail as an argument or a pure name. If a message has
multiple addresses, you will still have to use "Contains".
[-] (#0006308) Forbidden characters in the folder name. Sorting Office.
[-] (#0003961) Parked messages are deleted from server when emptying IMAP folder
