EASYLIST 2.2 Release 15 May 2002
----------------------------------

SHOW OFF YOUR HTML FILE LIST
============================

With the introduction of customisable HTML to EasyList, I am very
interested in seeing what more creative sysops than me can do with it.
To showcase EasyList, I will link from The Electric Dream web site to
the most imaginative file lists submitted.

To submit your file list, simply e-mail me at:

    easylist@electricbbs.com

with the URL of the file list you wish to showcase.



CONFIGURATION
=============

Before you run EasyList for the first time, you must configure it by
selecting "Configure EasyList" from the Start menu.

For more details, see "EasyList Help" on the Start menu.


UPGRADING FROM EARLIER VERSIONS:
===============================

Install EasyList as for a fresh installation. EasyList V2.2 will work
with your existing configuration. If your previous version was V2.0 or
earlier, please note that the first time you enter the V2.2
configuration screen, the configuration file will be saved in V2.1
format, and will no longer be compatible with EasyList versions prior
to V2.1.


HISTORY:
=======

V2.1
----

NEW FEATURES:

Support for WINServer 5.5 long filenames



V2.1
----

NEW FEATURES:

FULL file description option

Support for style sheets in HTML

Built-in ZIP file generation without using an external program


Option to use pure ASCII characters instead of line-drawing characters

Allow ftp:// links in HTML lists as well as http://

Option to discard original file after compression, leaving only the
compressed file


ENHANCEMENTS:

Right-click menu enhanced in list selection window

Reduced memory requirement

Reduced server load

Files in deselected areas no longer scanned

HTML icon in list selection box matches default browser


Bug fixes:

The total file size was not listed correctly if it was greater than 2GB.

Newlines in list files didn't show up correctly in certain applications.

After copying an item in the list selection box, the new item was
highlighted, but was not always brought into view.

The HTML file directory edit control remained accessible when no list
was selected.



V2.0
----


NEW FEATURES:
------------

    Major addition of HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE HTML OUTPUT.
        See "EasyList Help" on the Start menu for details.

    Addition of "Most Popular Files" list type.

    Improved user interface for configuration:
        Graphical representation of list type for each list
        Copy and rename lists

    Message list name no longer restricted to a valid Wildcat! filename.

    Dates are now presented according to the Windows regional settings.


BUG FIXES:
---------

    Additional header box now accepts <ENTER> for a new line rather than
    <CTRL><ENTER>.

    After creating a new ZIP file, that file would not be selected,
    which was not intuitive.

    When the last list was deleted, the area box was not cleared.

    If a file didn't exist (e.g. PKZIP failed to create a ZIP file), an
    entry was still created/updated in the file database.

    If a file list was generated on a file database that contained no
    files, an exception error was generated.

    The area list now responds to the extended Windows <SHIFT><click>
    and <CTRL><click> operations.

    The area list no longer scrolls when selecting a list.
