--------------------------------------------------
Version 12.2.7.0 (2007/03/21) (Beta 7)
These version notes have not really been updated -- some may/may not apply.
Features Added:
-Alt-Bin Mode
- Recursive options are now functioning
- A new dialog for creating header and post information for use with Alt-Bin
-Command line launching
- Allows the applicatoin to launch and add a post directly from command line
- This will allow mirc script kiddies to launch the app from a script and add posts
- This currently has very limitd functionality, but is there for testing.
- For command line options see the document <TODO >
-Single Instance Mode
- Prevents more than one copy of the application being opened
- Found on the Program tab of the program settings
- Essential for command line execution, otherwise each call will open a new app
-New Par2 generation (Currently Alt-Bin Mode Only)
- A par2 dll was created from the source of par2cmdline.
- See http://parchive.sourceforge.net/. Source code also provided
- This is much more robust par2 generation code.
- But it's pretty freaking slow right now
- Par2 files are added in a weird order to the batch
-New Sfv verification and generation (Currently Alt-Bin Mode Only)
- Verification should be used when posting any scene release.
- If a sfv that verifies in other apps, fails in gbPP please send GBLazer on Efnet the sfv file.
- Creation should be used when posting non-scene releases.
Bugs Fixed:
-Yes digitL, I fixed the bug in generating the mirc message with no group selected
KNOWN ISSUES and limitations (Lots of 'em!):
-Par2 creation is pretty damn slow
-Par2 files are added to the batch in a weird order
-Yes donlad182, the mirc message is still sent after the final file of the batch
is posted. So it will still message even if other files are not complete yet.
-Several features may have the UI, but it is disabled because it is not complete
-Delete New Par2 on Alt-Bin Defaults
-Vista compatability
- I've used vista a lot, and I know of no reason why it shouldn't work
- It does write to files in the directory it is run from
- So if this in under program files File&Registry Virtualization must be enabled, folder permissions changed, or the app elevated.
- But this has not been fully tested yet
-Single file posts are messed up -- numbers them wrong, doesnt send mirc msg
Other:
-Converted project to Visual Studio 2005
-Yes this means new runtime libraries that I may screw up and not provide correctly
-Rearchitected a large portion of the code dealing with the files added
-Means I probably introduced a bunch of bugs
-Cleaner OOP design
-Will allow for easier fixes and feature add
Things To Do:
-Fix known bugs
-Option to auto-start posting
-Redo command line to use new code
-Change classic header screens to use new code
-Implement digitl's request to accomodate multiple mirc apps
-

Changes from A&A 11b
Features Added:

- Auto-retry in the previous version works good, unless the error is caused
by a file error, in which case that thread never advances
- Modified Posting progress dialog and increased support for up to 12 threads
- Added mIRC notification option on last file
- Input a message and mIRC window title and the message will be sent to
the mIRC window upon posting the last file of that batch
- The window can be a private message window, or channel window, and is
identified based on any unqiue string in the windows titlebar
Bugs fixed:
- Fixed memory leak in skin changer
- Fixed bug allowing invalid # of connections to be manually entered
Other:

Version 11B (21/03/04)
======================
- Corrected NZB XML encoding issues (sorry for that...)
Version 11 (01/17/04)
======================
- Changed licence to GPL (thanks to Chris Morse)
- Added NZB file support (see www.newzbin.com)
- Corrected PAR2 creation crash with first volume number too high
- Decreased the minimum max-lines number to 500
Version 10C (09/11/03)
======================
- Corrected MD5 Hash errors on some PAR2 files (par2 informations appears as unknown in QuickPar)
- Increased the possible length of server name
- Added an option to use only last directory name in subject ($D versus full path $P)
- Added basic skin support
To add more skin, copy one of the subdirectories and rename it. Then edit the bmp files.
The skin.txt file must be present and contains the RGB background color and RGB text color
of the posting queue.
Version 10A (also incorrectly named 10B) (06/25/03)
======================
- Corrected the PAR2 'corruptions' with QuickPar-generated files using the same number of lines.
- Auto-detection of par2 part size is disabled by defaults (enable it in Settings/Program)
- Rewrote CRC, hash and par2 cpu-intensive functions in assembler. Speed is now similar to QuickPar.
- Added a disclaimer
- Other bug fixes
Version 10 (06/20/03)
=====================
- Multiple posting threads (up to 4)
-> configuration in server tab
- Queue can be modified while posting
- Creation of checksum files: .sfv, .par, .par2
-> Checksum tab during the creation of the post
- CREATION OF PAR2 RECOVERY VOLUMES. This is the main modification ;)
Usage:
. Select a par2 file and click on the par2 icon (or create a .par2 checksum file when configuring post)
. Specify the number of blocs to create and whether you want equally-sized files then click OK
. Power Post will create some *.vol??.par2.temp files and add then to the queue with a pink 'Q' icon. This means they are queued for encoding
. Start encoding using the pink arrow in toolbar.
. You can see the progress using the 'Encoding Progress' icon.
. After being encoded, the .temp extention will be removed and the files will be queued for posting
- Hopefully fixed the "misnamed file" bug...
- Other minor or experimental modifications:
. Detection of .par2 packets size to send one block per usenet message (this can reduce the number of block required to repair a post in half).
. Removed all sounds (well that reduced the executable size a lot).
. Added icons in the toolbar to move tasks in queue
. Fixed a bug when using '$K' in subject with files less than 1KB
. "Content-type: message/partial" support (EXPERIMENTAL)
. Grouping multipart messages or all the files of one post using Message-IDs and References headers (EXPERIMENTAL)
- I hope I didn't forget anything...
Version 9 (04/22/03)
====================
- stop programming post only when a file is completed
- put Yenc-Power-Post-A&A-vx everywhere
- correction of bugs
- rename soft form YPP-Assert to YPP-A&A
Version 8a (03/15/03)
====================
- save queue when a file is completed
Version 8 (03/11/03)
====================
- added Add file button in the tab "File Order"
Version 7 (03/10/03)
====================
- correction of bug when file remove in the sorting dialog

Version 6.01 (03/08/03)
====================
ChangeLog (relative to yEnc version)
- Added bandwidth limit
- added support for multiple servers

- corrected the blocking when a file is queued without any part selected.
- added specific sorting of .par/.pxx files (when adding file: in tab "File Order", button "Sort .PXX"

- added my name in the title ;-)
Fell free to improve it :-)
