Thu Nov 23 2006 "Patrick Näf" - added context menu to main table - menu items "requeue all", "unqueue all" and "remove all" are now disabled if table does not contain any items at all - removed invisible button from the .nib that allowed the user to remove items from the table with the backspace key; this hack is no longer necessary since Interface Builder now allows to assign a keyboard shortcut to a menu item that has no command key modifier - added new "Doxygen" target to Xcode project (Menu "Project", item "New target", Type "Shell script target"), then moved the "run doxygen" build phase from the "AceXpander" to the new "Doxygen" target - released version 1.1 Tue Nov 21 2006 "Patrick Näf" - added state diagrams for AceXpanderItem states - if destination folder does not exist it is now created including all its parent directories Thu Nov 16 2006 "Patrick Näf" - removed shell script frontend to the unace binary, AceXpander now executes the unace binary directly in an NSTask - removed "Debug mode" item from the Options menu; this mode is no longer available because the shell script frontend no longer exists Wed Nov 15 2006 "Patrick Näf" - fixed a nasty bug where unace would hang when AceXpander was launched from the Finder - this bug is present in 1.0.2, which makes the release all but useless :-( - I was completely clueless what was going on until I found the crucial hint at the following URL http://forum.macbidouille.com/lofiversion/index.php/t53823.html - thanks a lot to the author of iUnacer (another unace GUI frontend that seems to be no longer available) - moved NSTask related stuff from AceXpanderThread to new class AceXpanderTask - moved all constants from various .h and .m files to new file AceXpanderGlobals.h - AceXpanderThread is now a proper thread with a main method that sleeps until it gets new items to process Sat Nov 11 2006 "Patrick Näf" - bug fixed where command thread seemed to run forever when no item was selected and the "expand" button was clicked - expand button is now disabled if no archive is selected Thu Nov 09 2006 "Patrick Näf" - objects are now deallocated when the application terminates - various retain/release bugs found (and fixed) while testing deallocation on application shutdown Mon Nov 06 2006 "Patrick Näf" - any command that is still running is now cancelled when the application terminates (this fixes a bug where AceXpander would leave a still running command hanging around as an orphaned process) Fri Nov 04 2006 "Patrick Näf" - added UML folder & created MagicDraw project to draw class + sequence diagrams Mon Oct 31 2006 "Patrick Näf" - added "Credits.rtf" to application bundle for improved "About" panel (see NSApplication::orderFrontStandardAboutPanelWithOptions:()) Wed Oct 25 2006 "Patrick Näf" - completed re-implementation of project with Objective-C - added "run doxygen" build phase to Xcode project - added universal binary support to Xcode project - released version 1.0.2 - AceXpander releases Mac OS X versions 0.9 10.2.8 (?) 0.9.1 n/a 1.0 n/a 1.0.1 10.4.6 (?) 1.0.2 10.4.8 Sun July 09 2006 "Patrick Näf" - source code documentation is now possible using the doxygen tool Tue July 04 2006 "Patrick Näf" - created new Xcode project for Objective-C sources - started re-implementation of project with Objective-C Sun July 02 2006 "Patrick Näf" - released version 1.0.1 - added application and document icons Sat May 13 2006 "Patrick Näf" - eliminated InfoPlist.strings, which was a localized file in English.lproj; the information in the file does not need to be localized, instead everything can be placed into the target-specific Info.plist - only use CFBundleShortVersionString for version information in Info.plist - added NSHumanReadableCopyright to Info.plist - menu items "requeue", "unqueue", "remove", "expand", "list content" and "test integrity" are now disabled if no archive is selected Sat April 29 2006 "Patrick Näf" - renamed project to AceXpander (old name was AceExpander) - re-created .nib files from scratch (renaming project broke something) Sun April 16 2006 "Patrick Näf" - converted project from ProjectBuilder to Xcode - project has moved from a private CVS to a public subversion repository - Browser access: http://herzbube.ch/websvn/ - svn client access: http://herzbube.ch/svn/acexpander/ - changed all homepage references to point to the new homepage URL http://www.herzbube.ch/drupal/?q=acexpander - added README.developer Mon July 05 2004 "Patrick Näf" - released version 1.0 - added two new menu items to the Options menu: "Remember as my defaults" allows to save the current option settings to the user preferences;

The first of selected files in the table is provided as String, this allows to select Finder-ShowInfo or Finder-Reveal - disabled the items "Show Info" and "Reveal in Finder" in the File menu -> they will be enabled and implemented only when the AceExpander moves to Objective-C Sat June 19 2004 "Patrick Näf" - finished version 0.8 - added NSDocumentController to the model to manage the File-OpenRecent menu - added separate window that can be used to display a text file - implemented items in menu Help that show the GPL, README and ChangeLog text files - added item to Help menu (including implementation) that opens the AceExpander home page in a separate browser Thu June 17 2004 "Patrick Näf" - finished version 0.7 - implemented application handling of user defaults "CreateSurroundingFolder" and "DestinationFolderType" Wed June 16 2004 "Patrick Näf" - added user defaults "QuitAfterExpand", "AlwaysQuitAfterExpand" and "CreateSurroundingFolder" - updated preferences dialog to manage these user defaults - implemented application handling of user defaults "StartExpandingAfterLaunch", "QuitAfterExpanding" and "AlwaysQuitAfterExpanding" Tue June 15 2004 "Patrick Näf" - application now has two modes: interactive and non-interactive (default) - application terminates automatically if all items that were specified on launch time (e.g. by double-clicking archives in the Finder) have expanded successfully - added user defaults "StartExpandingAfterLaunch", "DestinationFolderType" and "DestinationFolder" - updated preferences dialog to manage these user defaults - the application does not yet handle these user defaults Mon June 14 2004 "Patrick Näf" - finished version 0.6 - added result window, in order to show stdout and stderr from the expand process - the result window's frame is saved to user defaults - added user default "ShowResultWindow", i.e. whether or not the result window is visible on application startup - added user default "ExecutablePath", which lets the user specify a different unace executable than the one bundled with the application - updated preferences dialog to manage this user default - added item to application menu that shows version information about the unace executable Thu June 10 2004 "Patrick Näf" - finished version 0.5 - added user default "QuitAppWhenMainWindowIsClosed" - updated pereferences dialog to manage this user default - implemented saving of preferences to user defaults system - implemented loading of application defaults from plist file (instead of hardcoding the defaults into the application program code) - fixed bug where user defaults are not saved when application is terminated because the main window is closed - main window frame is now saved to user defaults Wed June 09 2004 "Patrick Näf" - updated the ReleasePlan document - added new class AceExpanderPreferences - added preferences dialog - added hidden button to main window that reacts to the user pressing the Backspace key - added item "main window" to the Window menu Tue June 08 2004 "Patrick Näf" - finished version 0.4;
