Details about this version:
Fixed server login code, added Uninstaller, completed article quoting, added queuing new posts, plus more stuff. Much more stable.
Well, PR3 is here. Here's the major new stuff:
* Fixed the server login code for servers that require
authentication.
* Fixed the Connection window so that it displays quotes
properly, in the right font size, and refreshing properly. Also greyed it slightly, and made it a tad larger.
* Disabled the "Kill" button on the Connection window.
* Completed the article quoting functionality, including the "Quote" button, and the quoting settings, including sig stripping.
* Made sure that the buttons in the Manager window are added/deleted when newsgroups are subscribed to or unsubscribed from.
* Fixed the grey ghosting in the headers list in the Newsgroup window.
* Fixed a problem when storing double-quotes; before, it would display a bunch of backslashes wherever there was a quote. Now, it'll just display the quote.
* Added a confirmation dialog when sending posts.
* Added attributions when quoting (e.g., "On <date>, <author> wrote:").
* Fixed some incomplete code used when displaying message headers on the Newsgroup window; it should now be able to display any headers.
* Enabled inserting your signature before you actually compose a post, rather than afterwards.
* Added '*' for an entry in the Newsgroup window, if its article has been downloaded, and 'R' for an entry, if the article has been read. This won't be immediately updated.
New posts are now by default queued, then sent immediately.
* Implemented queuing new posts, to send them later. This makes Informant basically an offline newsreader.
* Fixed a major bug that was chopping out two characters in certain messages.
* Fixed a bug in the newsgroup window, which was getting confused when the References header had trailing spaces. This should fix "Unexpected error in [this window]" errors.
* Added an uninstaller app, "Informant Uninstaller"
