changes to v0.87:
V0.90 18.06.1995
- Saving RAW HAM8 produced wrong output. Fixed.
- Ask Mask-Color didn't work 100% all the time.
Problem solved hopefully.
- The sprite control word calculation for 32
and 64 pixel wide sprites generated non-AGA
control words - bug removed.
- The "Kill" gadget shortcut had no effect -
finally, it works
- An "Info" gadget has been added to the
module windows for quick reference on the
loaders and savers.
- Automatic and semi-automatic label generation
implemented (assembler only so far).
- Serious bug fixed: If you saved a brush having
an odd with with one of the CHUNKY savers,
the machine crashed. (Yuck)
- Another heavy bug: Saving a link object with
no object name crashed.
- Finally, an installation script has been
included to the distribution package.
- External savers included: PCX and BMP.
- Pack Colors image operator included.
- The cut-frame is now kept when re-entering
the control screen.
- Minor bug removed that caused problems with the
control screen and screenmode promoting programs.
