1.3.11 (Beta)

The following is a list of the changes in Arrow since the release of version 1.3.6:

Changes in version 1.3.11:

  • Added missing files to setup.
  • The "Reports" button was not always being displayed in the Statistics window. It is now.
  • Removed the "Schedule" tab of Preferences - events will now run only when Arrow is minimized.
  • Fixed a problem deleting a list. Arrow was not closing the stats.dat file so the directory could not be removed.
  • Fixed problem with suspend/resume settings not working.
  • Added "SMTP User Name" and "SMTP Password" list properties. These are used if the SMTP server requires authentication.
  • Added "IsCommand()" function to filter expressions. It returns true if the subject of the message can be interpreted as a command in the current list.
  • Arrow now assumes that "Check UDILs" is "Yes" if "Delete By UIDL" is "Yes" or "Delete When Days Old" is not zero.
  • Fixed bug in expression evaluator - numeric literals were being treated as strings.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some commands to not be listed in the Commands window.
  • "Add Precedence" property now works.
  • Fixed problem (introduced in 1.3.10) with "daily processes" in the Send Mail routine.
  • Added a "Set Subscriber Attribute" command to the list of commands created by the Create System Administration commands list wizard.
  • Updated Help file.
  • Added "Reply-To", "Errors-To", and "Return-Path" to default Probe template.
  • Added "Delete When Days Old" to the "Advanced" tab of List Properties. When set to a non-zero value, Arrow deletes messages when the specified number of days after Arrow first read them from the server.
  • Fixed bug which prevented the changing of a subscriber's address.

Changes up to version 1.3.10:

  • Added "List Wizards" command to the "Lists" menu. This command displays a list of "wizards" which perform specialized actions on the current list. [Notes]
  • Added "Restart Arrow" schedule event action. [Notes]
  • Added "Execute External Command" event action.
  • Added a "Process Specified List" event action.
  • Added "Set Subscriber Attribute" command action. [Notes]
  • Added "Get Subscriber Information" command action. Sends a message based on the SUBSCRIBERINFO template.
  • Added "Create a Template Based on the Message" command action.
  • Added "Execute External Command" command action.
  • Commands window no longer displays event actions that can't be executed through a command.
  • When sending a private message, Arrow no longer replaces the "Reply-To" in the message header. It does, however, add the list's default "Reply-to" if there is none in the message header.
  • Fixed bug which caused tag lines to be omitted from posted messages which were sent after a private message.
  • Added "Separator" property to "Headers/Footers" tab of the List Properties window. This allows you to specify the separator between the body of the message and the tag line or footer added by Arrow.
  • Added simple filters and filter actions. [Notes]
  • The Import Subscribers utility now works with binary files.
  • Added "Send Welcome Messages" check box to the Import Subscribers window.
  • Added the "Reports" button to the Statistics window. It displays a chart of various list statistics.
  • Arrow should now respond quicker when you click the "Cancel" button while it is sending mail.
  • If you run a new copy of Arrow when Arrow is already running, Arrow now activates the currently running copy of Arrow.
  • Deleted the "Send Welcome Messages" preference and replaced it with a "List Property."
  • Corrected the default NEEDNICKNAME template.
  • Instead of deleting a subscriber, Probe will suspend indefinitely.
  • Made changes to the way Arrow references list and subscriber properties. This should provide better performance.
  • Fixed a bug in accessing subscriber attributes.
  • When Arrow gets an error sending a posted message it now drops back to "Individual Messages" mode for the recipients.
  • Arrow now saves changes to list properties and other settings when a menu option or toolbar button is selected.
  • Added "AW" to list of default value for Reply Strings.
  • Added fix for problem which sometimes caused Arrow to include a ">" at the end of a subscriber's address.
  • Added "Getting Started" to "Help" menu.
  • Fixed the disconnect problem (maybe).
  • Arrow was ocassionally showing blanks in the "Address" column of the Subscribers window and the "Address" field of the Subscriber window. This has been fixed.
  • You can now select multiple subscribers in the Subscribers List window. If you press the Delete key (or the "Delete" toolbar button), Arrow asks "Yes, No, All, Cancel" for each marked subscriber.
  • Added call to "Lock Windows Update" before updating the Subscribers List window.
  • When editing the "<Default Subscriber Settings>" subscriber, "<Default Subscriber Settings>" is now displayed in the Address field.

  • Fixed bugs in New List Wizard. Also, the Wizard now sets the "SMTP From" List Property to the domain of SMTP server.
  • Arrow now automatically refreshes the Tree View after a license key is entered.
  • Subscriber Count in the Statistics window sometimes displayed one less than the correct value. This has been fixed.
  • Added a "To" field to the Messages window.
  • Changed Preview Template window's font to "Courier New".
  • Renamed the LIST SUBSCRIBERS template to LISTSUBSCRIBERS and the DIGEST-NO MESSAGES template to DIGEST-NOMESSAGES so that the "Create a Template" command action can be used to change them. When creating a template, Arrow will no longer let you use a space in the name.
  • Added %message% token which quotes the original message when replying to a message. Added %body% token which quotes the original message body when replying to a message.
  • Added %subaddress% and %subinfo% tokens for use in the SUBSCRIBERINFO template.
  • Added %log% token which is replaced by the last 50 lines of the log. The %log% token also accepts an argument which is the number of lines of the log to include - for example %log-10% is replaced by the last 10 lines of the log.
