Many thanks to the crew +on the mailing list who have been very helpful in testing and providing +feedback. + +I would like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals for their +patience, testing and feedback. + Jean Louis Argente + Sasa Ostrouska + Bart Verstraete + Aaron Peromsik + +Much work has been put into polishing Hylafax and Efax support. +The following is a list of new or changed items.

Gfax will now try the set number of times (EfaxRetry). + -Fix: "Don't try to open a non existing phonebook file. + -Fix: Various callback event args have been changed for newer versions of + Gtk-Sharp, these have been updated. + -Fix: "Efax sending was broken in 0.7.5, now works. + -Fix: Ghostscript conversion of files for Efax was failing. + -Fix: Gfax was setting the time in the past due to a timezone bug, + consequently Hylafax jobs never ran and couldn't be modified. + + + +Whats new in gfax-0.7.5 +============================================ +Hylafax received facsimiles can now be viewed/printed or deleted. +Evolution addressbooks are now supported.

Toggle in list of items to send was not active. + +Whats new in gfax-0.6.3 +============================================ +Bug fix release. Stupid typo on my part stopped phonebook working +properly. + +Whats new in gfax-0.6.2 +============================================ +Bug fix release. When sending a fax and selecting a number from the +phone book, the number and organization entry were swapped. + +Whats new in gfax-0.6.1 +============================================ +Changes have been made to allow Gfax to compile against mono-beta3 (0.96) +and Gtk#-0.98 or higher, will probably not work with any earlier versions. +This is in preparation for the up coming Mono 1.0 release. + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6.0, Major point release +============================================ +Changes have been made to allow Gfax to compile against Gtk#-0.17, +and will probably not work with any earlier versions. + +Full username and password authentication is now working in Hylafax. +Authentication can now be either by allowing the machine host name or +IP address or system administrators can add Hylafax users and passwords +for their fax server (see FAQ). + +Gfax now runs the main application after sending a fax with the send +wizard, enabling immediate status of the fax job to be viewed. + +Gfax now fully supports delayed sending of facsimiles with from the +send wizard and the main application. Facsimiles can be delayed up to +30 days in the future. + +Status queue displays have been updated to display the "Send At" time +for all jobs. + +While transferring jobs to the hylafax server the user can press the +"Cancel" button, deleting the job/file on the fax server and returning +to the main display. + +Gfax-0.6 is now in updated on the GNOME CVS repository. + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta9: +=========================== +Network status queue data reception is much better and should work +without problem now. Previously Gfax would crash or the entire queue +would not be displayed if there were many jobs. + +Gfax will now display the number of jobs left in the Send queue in +the window title bar so one can track send status when Gfax is +minimized. + +The total number of jobs displayed in the status line at the bottom +of the window. This status line will also show when Gfax is +auto-refreshing the queue. + +Queue selection has been added to the "Job" menu. + +When sending a fax from the "New Fax" button, fax destinations can be +deselected. You can now select an entire phone book and then deselect +a few numbers. + +Bug fixes: +---------- + *start auto refresh on program startup if enabled. + *change socket read code so all data will be read in hylafax.cs + *when deleting jobs from the Done queue it is refreshed properly. + + + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta8: +=========================== +Well it turns out that the beta7 didn't quite do the job. The +Send Wizrad worked with a phone book item but not entering a +number in the entry box, this is now fixed. Also the fax wizard +would send the fax to the server even if there weren't any valid +destinations, this is also fixed. + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta7: +=========================== +This is just a quick bug fix as beta6 send wizard was bad. + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta6: +=========================== +Ported to mono >= 0.30 and gtk-sharp-0.15. +It should work on the likes of Fedora Core 1 and Redhat 9 to name a few. + +If you run Fedora try our yum repository for installation, see +http://gfax.cowlug.org for more information. + +The biggest news is a new wizard to add phone books. The old way of +adding phone books was prone to error and not intuitive at all. + + +Bug fixes: +---------- + *remove glade errors when starting. + *clear phone book list items at appropriate times. + *deleting phone book correctly deletes the file. + +Changes: +--------- + *compile with gtk-sharp-0.15 and Mono-0.30. + *swap "Add" and "Clear" buttons for adding phone items. + *added stock icons to "Add" and "Clear" buttons. + *added class for new phone book wizard. + *changes to main code to support new phone book wizard. + *new dialog in gfax.glade file for new phone book + + + + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta5: +=========================== +This version is basically a port to mono >= 0.28 and gtk-sharp-0.14. +It should work on the likes of Fedora Core 1 and Redhat 9 to name a few. + +This is the first version with a proper working spec file for building +rpms. + +Fedora Core 1 users note: +Unless one has the CVS version of Orbit gfax will crash upon exit, this +is not a problem, everything still works fine. Fedora Core 2 will most +likely have this fixed. + +Bug fixes: +---------- + *created spec file for rpms. + *fixed schema installation, works for all users now. + *adding new phone book didn't work quite right, fixed. + *deleteing item in phonebook didn't allow saving after, fixed. + *now compiles with mono >= 0.28 and gtk-sharp-0.14. + +Changes: +---------- + *none. + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta4: +=========================== +The send druid now displays all the numbers that you have choosen to send +the fax to. Each number in the list is preceded with a check mark which +allows you to deselect numbers in your list. For example: + -Print to a fax to send it. + -Press the "Phonebook" button and select a phonebook from the "Phone Books" + list and press "OK". + -You should now see all the numbers that were in your phone book. + -Deselect desired numbers by toggling the checkmark off. + +Numbers may be "built up" by continually selecting phone books, phone book +items or manually entering a number in the entry provided. + +Stretching the druid expands the list properly. + +Other changes to the send druid include the ability to change the facsimile +resolution, email address and notification feature. Notification and +resolution settings previously didn't get transmitted to hylafax, they are +now working. + +Bug fixes: +---------- + *Don't delete your file when sending the file from the "New Fax" fucntion. + *Don't delete your file if piped in from the command line. + *Delete Job button was active when no jobs to delete. + *Delete item button active when no items selected. + *Removed modal setting from About dialog. + *When adding numbers from a phone book in the send druid it wouldn't + display a single number if the organization was not set. + +Changes: +---------- + *Send druid now displays numbers to send instead of "MULTIPLE NUMBERS." + *Added toggle to send druid, you can now deselect numbers. + *Resolution setting is now functional for Hylafax. + *Email notification is now functional for Hylafax. + *Changed spool directory location to /var/spool/gfax + *Set "Rules Hint" in glade file so lists follow theme. + *Added phonebook support to "New Fax" function. + *Clear "New Fax" page properly if switching to main and back. + + +Whats new in gfax-0.6beta3: +=========================== +This release should be far more functional that previous releases, please join +the mail list and help with bug reports. Many thanks to Stephan Sachse for +his feedback. + +Bug fixes: +---------- + *create phonebook directory (~/.etc/gfax/) if it doesn't exist. + *create "phonebooks" file if it doesn't exist. + +Changes: +---------- + *Changed the default queue that is displayed on startup to the send queue. + *Added ability to delete Hylafax jobs. + *Made "Delete Job" button sensitive only when showing send queue. + + *Gfax now attempts to display the proper sensitivity for many + buttons, such as "Delete" and "Edit" in the Phonebooks page. + + *The send fax page is now functional and postscript files can be sent + directly from gfax. + + *The makefile has been updated to install schema on "make install", you + will no longer have to do a seperate "make schema". + + *When creating a new phone book the base directory defaults to ~/.etc/gfax + so users will only have to enter a file name and not the entire path. + + *Created a gfaxlpr command for use with apps like OpenOffice. It seem that + reading input in the shell sometimes fails so gfaxlpr does nothing but + read from the standard input. Hopefully this will work better for + printing from applications. See the INSTALL file for more information + about defining printers in OpenOffice. |
