Subject ........: THOR 2.5a released

                               - THOR -

                             Release 2.5a

            Copyright (C) 1993-1997 Ultima Thule Software,
                         All Rights Reserved.

Changes from 2.5 to 2.5a:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THOR
- Fixed the problem with updating of the Group by submenu when changing group
  mode in all read mode.
- Fixed the horrible bug that caused the search window's conference string
  gadget to lock up.
- Fixed a serious memory leak when URLs were displayed.
- Fixed the ARexx command GETSELECTEDEVENT so it works again.
- Many shortcuts in various windows didn't work. This is fixed with the
  included clicktab.gadget.
- If you reply to a message in a mail folder, the signature/tagfile settings
  for this conference is now used, even though the reply is directed to email.

utgui.library:
- Window/screen backfill hook GREATLY speeded up by using a somewhat different
  algorithm. Particulary gfx card owners should see a tremendous speedup when
  opening windows or doing other window operations.
- Fixed a minor masking bug that would sometimes not clear the previous
  contents in listviews.

ConnectTHOR:
- Newsbrowser will fit on 640x256 screens again.

bbsread.library:
- Fixed the sorting in Grouped Alpha so it is in the correct date order.
- Fixed a semaphore problem when packing a conference that could sometimes
  release a semaphore twice, which could cause a crash. It would only happen
  if someone parsed messages, selected pack, then aborted the pack with
  abort while still parsing messages, so it shouldn't have been a problem
  for most.

utnet.library:
- If several header lines of the same type (typically Received:..)
  exists, all are now searched by SMH.  It used to only check the first.
- Removed some debug leftover which appeared when running SendTCP from
  shell, when sending base64 encoded messages.

ParseUUCP:
- The initial From line of was incorrectly parsed for all but the first
  and the last message.

PackBlue:
- If a character set is defined for a conference, this is used instead of
  the one configured for the system when sending messages in that
  conference.

Is anyone ever going to fix the freeze that occurs sometimes when you
try to get headers or articles? (When you get the Receive time out message)
I am forced to use Micrdot for news and thor for email and i am not too happy
with Microdot. I liked Thor but the freezing every now and then is extremely
annoying.

Thanks
Costa

Well, a timeout is occuring in the connection to the newsserver. The newsbrowser
doesn't reconnect automatically when this happens, maybe MD does.
