Replaced Exit() by exit() because Exit() is like abort().

2011-06-09  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>

  * backport of various fixes from the AROS repository:
    - scout_functions.c fixed crash caused by wrong
      calculation of function address
    - scout_functions.c fixed calling of IDFunctionTags().    
    - fix crash in disassembler.library caused by wrong
      usage of NewRawDoFmt(). That function is now replaced
      by RawDoFmt().
    - mmakefile.scr: Made identify.library a prerequisite of Scout.
    - startup: A6 is not SysBase m68k fix.

2010-12-31  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>

  * scout_residents.c: fix for a segfault which happened on AROS
    except 68k.
  * misc: some minor fixes (spelling, wrong macro usage in mmakefile.src)

2010-10-04  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>

  * scout_net.c: corrected the usage of all va_list occurences.

2010-09-15  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>

  * misc: Implemented separate monitorclass and monitorclass details
          windows

2010-05-05  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>

    resulting binary is not yet fully working, but at least it can be run.
  * include/patchcontrol.h: fixed inline functions for the OS3/gcc build.
  * classes/scout_audiomode.c: fixed audiomode scanning for the OS3/gcc
    build.

    About window.

2010-04-26  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>

  * misc: added lots of UNUSED keywords to avoid warnings about unused
    variables. Also the SDI macros are used to define all hook functions.

2010-04-24  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
  * Changed to declare TimeRequest in one single place and early enough to
    avoid a lot of warnings on non os4 systems.

2010-04-24  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
  * lots of changes to get Scout running compilable again for OS4.
  * define USE_INLINE_STDARG for AROS only.

  * Misc fixes for AROS port.

2009-10-21  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>
  * Removed hint "You must not use this source code to gain profit of any kind!"
    because this isn't compatible with the GPL.
  * Added CPU defines for AROS

2009-10-19  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>
  * Final preparations for 1st succesfull run of AROS version:
    - created main() function because start with -nostartup didn't work
    - Crash in DoSuperNew fixed.

2009-10-19  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>
  * Lots of compiler warnings removed.

2009-10-16  Matthias Rustler <mrustler@gmx.de>
  * First steps towards AROS port.

2008-12-01  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
 * scout_expansions.c: fixed bug in pciscan code and added support for
   pciids.library (MorphOS 2 or newer).
 * scout_catalogs.c: documented LocaleBase as it is in OS3 and MorphOS
 * scout_memory_detail.c, scout_mount_detail.c: documented MEMF_SWAP (MorphOS).

2008-08-04  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
 * scout_system.c: Retrieve uptime from EClock. This method should work also on
   Classic Amiga OS but due to lack of test environment it is used only for
   MorphOS build.
 * scout_resident_detail.c: Fixed resident flag definitions for MorphOS.

2008-07-04  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
 * scout_extras.c: fixed the single windows menu item. Before it was always
   displayed as a radio item instead of a normal checkmark item.

2008-05-04  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
 * tbLib/#?timer.c: some changes to make the library buildable for non-OS4 SDKs
   again.
 * scout_tasks_detail.c: some changes according to recent SDK changes.
 * Makefile.os4, tbLib/Makefile.os4: replaced -Werror by -Wwrite-string to
   respect changes in the current beta SDK and to make sure to read-only string
   is being written to.

2007-07-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * all: reworked the NList and NListtree object creation to be correct again
      so that the list/tree is the windows default object and is automatically
      scrollable by keyboard.


2007-07-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks_detail.c: added new PRF_LOCKSTACK process flag for OS4.


2007-02-23  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_extras.c: treat MorphOS "ROM" space as valid.
    * scout_disassembler.c: added PPC disassembler for MorphOS.


2007-01-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices_detail.c, scout_libraries_detail.c: removed the interface
      list for the moment again.


2007-01-12  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * Enabled patches window in the MorphOS build.


2007-01-11  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_commands.c: added CMD_NOTLOADED check for deferred resident
      commands in MorphOS.
    * scout.cd: added txtCommandNotLoaded (DEFER).


2006-12-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_disassembler.c: added a missing DropInterface() call.


2006-12-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_parentwindow.c: removed redundand OM_REMMEMBER which in fact tried
      to remove an object twice. This caused unpredictable results on OS4.


2006-11-21  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_resource.c: resources with a type not equal to NT_RESOURCE or
      NT_LIBRARY are now treated like already known-not-to-work resources.


2006-10-16  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_signal.c: it was not possible to enter a full 32 bit signal mask
      when using the "0x" prefix instead of the "$" prefix.


2006-10-07  Ilkka Lehtoratan <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * Re-enabled NSD query in the MorphOS build. Poseidon responds to NSD
      query and some devices also include TD64 commands with NSD.


2006-09-20  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * tbLib/string_snprintf.c: RawDoFmt() calls were completely broken in
      MorphOS build but problem didn't occur until clean build was done.
      _vsnprintf() call did nothing if compiled for 68k AmigaOS target.


2006-08-15  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_commands.c: the list of non-system resident commands (that is
      commands made resident via C:Resident) was never scanned in the OS4
      build.
    * misc: added some casts to CONST_STRPTR instead of STRPTR.


2006-07-07  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_devices_detail.c: removed NSD query from the MOS build.


2006-06-27  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices_detail.c, scout_libraries_detail.c: added a listview to
      show the available OS4 interfaces of a library/device. This should be
      extended in the future to let the user get more information, but for
      now it is just a beginning.


2006-06-23  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * startup.c: added a check for a 68020+ CPU in the OS3 build. In case no
      68020 is found Scout simply exits quietly returning RETURN_FAIL. This is
      also the case if one of the basic libraries cannot be opened.


2006-06-20  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_extras.c, include/extra.h: added MUIA_Application_UsedClasses tag
      to filter out redundant custom classes from MUI settings.


2006-06-09  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_tasks_detail.c: added ETask fields for the MorphOS build.
    * scout.cd: added new strings to describe ETask fields (MOS).


2006-06-07  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks_detail.c: the temporary string was freed too early and still
      used afterwards. This might have caused no harm with OS3 and MorphOS, but
      it caused crashes for sure with OS4's beta kernel.


2006-06-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * startup.c: Scout can now be compiled against newlib.library *and* clib2,
      although newlib.library if preferred now as this is the default OS4 run-
      time C library.
    * scout_disassembler.c: for PPC disassembly a hexdump is also displayed.


2006-05-24  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * misc: added CONST keyword to all constant structures.


2006-05-23  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout.c: the default ARexx reply port is no longer public, as this is not
      required anywhere.


2006-05-21  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks_detail.c: the unused text[13] field in the OS4 build made the
      following buttons disappear.


2006-05-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_extras.c: changed the way ROM and RAM memory is detected with OS4.
      The old version was completely wrong and returned "is RAM" for every
      pointer. Also recognized that IMMU->GetMemoryAttrs() must be called in
      Supervisor state. Finally, first of all, the address is checked against
      some very basic values, which cannot really represent valid addresses.
    * scout_devices_detail.c: changed the size of the IORequest to gather the
      NSD information to sizeof(struct IOStdReq) + 128, as suggested by the NSD
      docs. Also added the new commands of console.device and printer.device to
      the list of known commands in the OS4 build.
    * scout_functions.c: function entries with an address of NULL now won't
      enable the "Disassemble" button anymore.
    * disassembler_button.c: isValidPointer() is used to determine a valid
      pointer now instead of just comparing against NULL and -1.
    * scout_resources.c: the functions button is now disabled for resources
      without a proper library structure.
    * scout_screenmode.c, scout_screenmode_detail.c: all structures to obtain
      the information are now allocated dynamically instead of placing them on
      the stack.


2006-05-03  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_windows_detail.c: added BMF_ROOTMAP for completeness (MOS).
    * scout_commodity_detail.c: added undocumented IECLASS_EXTRAWKEY (MOS).


2006-05-02  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * locale/français.ct: updated translation.


2006-04-28  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * extrasrc/vasprintf.c: implemented VASprintf() for OS3 as well, together
      with ASPrintf().
    * misc: added STDARGS attribute where it was missing.


2006-04-27  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * misc: replaced "(text[0] != '\033') ? text : text + 2" compares by a call
      to StripMUIFormatting. The comparison correctly skipped the initial
      escape character, but not the trailing one. Thus the MUI highlight code
      always ended up in the printout.


2006-04-23  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * Makefile.mos, all_gcc.c, include/extra.h, extrasrc/vasprintf.c:
      implemented VASPrintf() for MorphOS.
    * scout_print.c: changed FileRequest() to use MUI ASL call wrappers.
      MorphOS build used to crash there because of aboxstubs. Fixed
      HandlePrintStop() to not Close() Output() file handles.
    * scout_fonts_detail.c: fixed stack frame trashing (text[] array was
      too short).


2006-04-23  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_net.c: corrected misspelled "snprintf()" to "_snprintf()".
    * scout_arexx.c: reenabled reset callback code for OS4 build only.
    * Makefile.os4, tblib/Makefile.os4: added -D__USE_OLD_TIMEVAL__ to the
      list of compiler flags to match the new definitions of "struct TimeVal"
      and "struct TimeRequest".


2006-04-05  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_window_detail.c: now displays correctly number of colours for
      32bit screens.
    * scout_arexx.c: disabled reset callback code for MorphOS build.
    * scout_task_detail.c: in MOS tasks always have tc_ETask, thus use it
      always.


2006-04-01  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_memory_detail.c, scout_mounts_details.c: brought the two lists of
      memory types in sync.
    * scout_resethandlers.c: the OS4 specific list of reset callbacks is now
      also scanned for entries, because the list of reset handlers is normally
      not used anymore.
    * C_c.sd, C_h.sd: removed all unnecessary code, like that old V20 stuff,
      because Scout requires V37 all around. So something like locale.library
      V20 is not possible to be present or used.
    * scout_fonts.c, scout_fonts_details.c: added tf_Extension field, if a font
      offers this.
    * scout_arexx.c: added the missing remove function for reset handlers.
      Until now this has never been implemented. Also the last direct poking in
      the base structure of input.device to obtain the list of input handlers
      has been replaced by a proper function which acts the same way as does
      the scanning function in scout_inputhandlers.c.
    * scout_inputhandlers.c, scout_resethandlers.c: changed the priorities of
      the temporary interrupts from minimum to maximum. This makes no real
      change except that searching the head of the corresponding list is a
      little faster.


2006-03-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks_details.c: some minor changes to code type recognition, based
      on hints of the current dos.library maintainer.


2006-03-26  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices_details.c: the native USB stack of OS4 needs very special
      treatment of the used IORequests, else you will get an alert and the
      device cannot be openend. Hence Scout now respects this special behaviour
      in the OS4 build.
    * scout_tasks.c: added now function which returns the usual name of all
      known signal bits.
    * scout_tasks_details.c: the old Task field tc_TrapAlloc and tc_TrapAble
      don't exist anymore for OS4. Instead they always represent a pointer
      called tc_ETask. Hence this one is shown now. Furthermore Scout can now
      recognize a process' code type by using the new V51 DOS function
      GetSegListInfo(). Additionally for OS4 the SegList pointers are now
      obtained via GetProcSegList() instead of hacking through pr_SegList and
      pr_CLI->cli_Module. If there is a clean way, then USE IT!


2006-03-25  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks_details.c: added the extended V50/V51 process fields. These
      will only appear in the OS4 build.
    * scout_window_details.c added the embedded fields ViewPort, RastPort,
      Bitmap (and all attributes) and LayerInfo of "struct Screen". Therefore
      the entries "UserPort->SigTask" and "WindowPort->SigTask" of "struct
      Window" have been dropped since these can be inspected by clicking on
      the port button.


2006-03-24  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_mount_details.c: the capacity calculation is now done with native
      64bit math for the OS4 and MorphOS builds. Hence i64.c is no longer
      needed for these, but only for the OS3 build, because SAS/C cannot do
      64bit math itself.
    * scout_extras.c, tblib/errormsg_ErrorMsg.c: somehow I never realized that
      exec/RawDoFmt() cannot do parameter sorting by using something like
      "Hello %2$s %1$s", "second", "first". Hence the function ErrorMsg() got
      always passed one parameter too less and that completely crashed on OS4.
      The catalog description has been modified accordingly. The prototype for
      ErrorMsg() was missing the usual "VARARGS68K" definition anyway.
      All in all this made Scout crash when it tried to complain about outdated
      or missing external MUI classes.


2006-03-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_print.c: somehow I deleted a NULL-check before copying one string
      to another, which caused crashes when trying to print information of a
      window to a file.


2006-03-13  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_timer.c: now uses a union to cover all combinations of "uint64",
      "struct EClockVal", etc without converting all these equivalent types "by
      hand".


2006-03-12  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * Scout.c: fixed type definitions for LocaleBase and RexxSysBase. Depending
      on the compiler being used (SAS/C or GCC) this is now either a standard
      library or a specific base type. Unfortunately this has to be done to
      cover all the different SDK's :(


2006-03-12  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * Scout.c: I think it was a bad idea to let Scout react to CTRL-D/E as a
      break signal too in the first place. Now it only reacts to CTRL-C.
    * tblib/string_snprintf.c: GCC 4.0.x doesn't like unused functions when
      compiling with -Wall. Hence StuffCharMOS() is declared for MorphOS only.
    * scout_timer.c: removed one call to NewRawDoFmt() which was left over by
      itix.


2006-03-12  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_extras.c: fixed M68k varargs.
    * scout_expansions.c: now scans PCI devices via OpenPci wrapper (MOS).
      Disabled detail window for PCI devices (was accessible via doubleclick).


2006-03-12  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_timer.c: now checks time doesnt get negative (rare but
      possible) and re-enabled 64bit math for MorphOS.
    * dos_private.h: structures must be packed for PPC.
    * tbLib: now uses M68k varargs in MOS for _snprintf().


2006-03-11  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * Scout.c: Scout no longer reacts (aborts) to CTRL-D and CTRL-E in MOS
      where CTRL-D/CTRL-E are not considered break signals to programs.


2006-03-11  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_timer.c: now uses ReadCPUClock() to get right timer values in MOS.
    * tbLib/tblib.h: fixed _sprintf() and _snprintf() to use SysV varargs in MOS.


2006-03-11  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * startup.c: readded __stack var to define a minimum stack size for the OS3
      build.


2006-03-11  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_disassembler.c: the OS4 version can now disassemble native PPC and
      and old 68k code.
    * scout_system.c: OS4's timer.device is able to deliver the current system
      uptime itself. Hence we use that function, instead of obtaining the
      uptime from the creation date of RAM:.
    * scout.cd: there was one useless quote sign too much.


2006-03-11  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * include/extra.h: added uint64/int64 types.
    * startup.c: MOS uses black boxed UtilityBase and removed __stack var
      which is used by libnix startup code only (not linked in). Fixed race
      condition with WB message reply -- it must be done in Forbid() always.
    * makefile.mos: removed -Werror because of whiny MOS SDK.


2006-03-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * all: too many changes to mention them all. All in all Scout is now OS4
      native, too. That means it can be compiled with GCC 4.0.2 without errors.
      Compatibility to MorphOS and OS3 is still maintained. All OS4 specific
      additions to the 68k versions are now "PPC only". The 68k version will
      still run under OS4, but not all new features will be recognized, because
      the 68k build relies on the 3.9 NDK only.


2006-02-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_timer.c: OS4's timer.device seems to keep just one list of timers
      instead of two (MicroHZ and VBlank), because every entry appears twice,
      but with the same address. Hence Scout will scan just one list when
      running on OS4.


2006-01-14  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_tasks_detail.c: apparently PRF_CLOSEERROR is same in OS4 and MOS


2006-01-14  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * os4defs.h, scout_tasks_detail.c: added some more definitions.


2005-11-14  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_windows_detail.c: Added IDCMP_MOUSEHOVER (MorphOS)


2005-10-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * misc: changed some "#ifdef"'s to "#if defined()", because #ifdef is not
      always suitable for certain actions.
    * os4defs.h: added some more definitions.
    * scout_catalogs.c: initialized a formerly uninitialized variable


2005-09-30  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_memory_detail.c: Added (private) memory flag used in MorphOS.


2005-09-20  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices.c, scout_libraries.c, scout_tasks.c,...: added some new OS4
      definitions to recognize some new features of OS4.
    * scout_net.c: as the net command list is used nowhere else within the
      whole program is could be made static instead of global known.


2005-09-14  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_net.h: fixed to build with gcc4 (removed unused extern).


2005-08-01  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_commodity_detail.c: changed the rawkey based wheelmouse name to
      carry a "nm_" prefix so that it refers to newmouse based wheelmouse events
      and doesn't conflict with the new wheelmouse events in AmigaOS4.


2005-08-01  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout.c: OS4's RoadShow was not recognized as a valid TCP/IP stack,
      because Scout never tried to find it :)


2005-07-24  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_resources.c, scout_resources_detail.c: some OS4 specific resources,
      which don't support a full featured library structure, are now treated
      like keymap.resource or FileSystem.resource.


2005-07-21  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks.c: the CPU usage cycler is now disabled with AmigaOS4 under
      all circumstances. Before it could have happened that it was still re-
      activated sometimes.


2005-07-18  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_arexx.c, scout_windows.c: the "Windows" window now features a "Make
      Visible" button, which will bring a window to the front and move it
      within the visible portions of its screen if it is slightly off then
      screen. The screen is brought to front, too, also for the "To Front"
      button, if invoked on a window entry.


2005-07-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_classes.c: the class list is no longer traversed reversely, but as
      all other lists, from first to last. But since "rootclass" (the mother of
      all classes) is the last one in this list Scout swaps the order by
      building its own list via AddHead() instead of AddTail() now.


2005-07-08  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices.c, scout_libraries.c: there is a much less hacky and ugly
      way to recognize the code type of libraries and devices with OS3 and OS4.
      The formerly unsed lib_pad is now called lib_ABIVersion and this one can
      be used to distinguish between 68k and PPC code. With OS3/OS4 there is no
      more peeking around in jump vectors. Even the crashes with some libraries
      are gone now. Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer for that hint.


2005-07-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_devices.c, scout_libraries.c: the newly introduced code type recog-
      nition had some flaws in general. First, all elements of a list entry
      like "struct LibraryEntry" MUST be arrays, because these entries may be
      transferred over a network (yes, Scout still has network support!!) and
      the receiving machine must be able to access these data. Hence pointers
      are forbidden. The only exception are pointers which are never accessed
      by the receiver like "LibraryEntry->le_Addr". This is also the reason why
      you cannot get detailed information why monitoring a machine via the net-
      work.
      Second (this only applies for OS4), even 68k programs like Scout can
      detect if a library/device uses 68k or PPC code, hence there is no reason
      why a 68k Scout binary should detect all libraries/devices as 68k. Un-
      fortunately not all libraries available for OS4 have a 68k vector table.
      diskcache.library is one of these candidates and there might be illegal
      accesses when Scout tries to detect the code type. But at least currently
      the code type of all libraries/devices is detected correctly.
      Third, the catalog contains separate strings for devices and libraries.


2005-07-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_extras.c: the nonetest() function now explicitly checks for CRs and
      LFs in the checked strings, because locale/IsPrint() no longer returns
      TRUE with OS4's locale.library 51.12+ for certain control characters.


2005-07-02  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_devices_detail.c, scout_libraries_detail.c: Identifies new LIBF_#?
      flags (MorphOS/AmigaOS4).


2005-07-01  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_libraries.c, scout_devices.c: Now detects and reports codetype
      (PPC/68k) of libraries and devices. Codetype is determined by checking
      LibOpen vector. PowerUp/WarpUp libraries are not detected but they always
      have 68k startup code anyway.
    * Locale/scout.cd: Added new strings for codetype.


2005-06-19  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * scout_extras.h: struct JumpEntry was not packed and jump table entries
      were displayed wrong when using PPC native Scout.
    * scout_functions.c: detects and accept SysV jump table entries in MorphOS
      (they start with 0x4afc instead of 0x4ef9).
    * scout_arexx.c: Flush task pool (MorphOS) before RemTask() and hope the
      best.


2005-06-03  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * scout_catalogs.c: MorphOS has no sys/c.catalog and stores the catalog list
      like AmigaOS3, so the new code is only used on AmigaOS4.


2005-05-26  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks.c: the CPU usage cycler is now disabled with AmigaOS4 instead
      of just leaving out the impossible items.
    * scout_devices_detail.c: added some saftey checks when retrieving the NSD
      command list.


2005-05-26  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_catalogs.c: the library structure of locale.library of course has
      changed in AmigaOS4. Therefore the old way to get the list of opened
      catalogs MUST have failed. Now Scout tries a more compatible way, but
      this requires that at least one known catalog, namely sys/c.catalog, is
      available and can be opened. But this should be possible for any machine.


2005-04-18  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * MorphOS native netlib.a was corrupt and had wrong name. Deleted
      netlib.a and imported libnet.a.


2005-04-11  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * scount_mount.c: exchanged IsFileSystem() and IsValidFSSM() positions.
      IsValidFSSM() must be first.


2005-04-11  Harry Sintonen <sintonen@iki.fi>
    * scout_mount.c, scout_mount_detail.c: Scanning the DOS device list was
      still broken by design; it would have died horribly if some doslist
      entry was freed or modified. Now the code is fairly bulletproof: All
      data is copied to memory buffers while keeping the DOS device list lock
      *and* without breaking Forbid(). The only potential problem can arise
      from trying to display dol_Startup of freed entry.
      Also, calling IsFileSystem() for all DOS device list entries is unwise,
      as it can (and will) deadlock with certain entries.
    * scout_mount_detail.c: Fixed Capacity to really display only >10 GB
      partitions using gigabytes. 32bit number can't hold 10000*1024*1024.
    * task_button.c: Don't read random memory if the task disappears. It can
      still happen that another task gets allocated with identical tcb
      pointer, however.


2005-04-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_ports.c: AmigaOS4 seems to have some more flags defined for
      mp_Flags. Therefore we only obey the lower two bits of this value, since
      only these give a valid result.


2005-03-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_mount.c: the Lock() problem doesn't exist anymore and my workaround
      using Open() and DupLockFromFH() was even worse. It always marked all
      valid partitions as "unreadable". Ooops. Now we are back to the old state.


2005-03-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_mount.c: the scanning of the DOS device list was completely broken
      by design. Although Scout used the official API it would sooner or later
      break a Forbid(), which is implicitly called by LockDosList(). Now we
      first scan the device list and build our own list. After that we obtain
      all necessary information from the device node without breaking a
      Forbid(). At least I hope :). Thanks to Colin Wenzel for this hint.


2005-03-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_mount.c, scout_mount_detail.c: added IsFileSystem() as an
      additional check for *real* filesystems. Devices like PAR: or SER:
      should not pass this test.


2005-03-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * PAR: and SER: seem to be created a little bit strange under OS4. At
      least these have a full featured FSSM, which is complete non-sense.
      Unfortunately this made Scout hang on trying to Lock() such a thing.
      Instead we now try to Open() this thing first, and after that we
      DupLockFromFH() to get the required Lock. And this one fails "normally".


2005-03-15  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * System_headers.h, scout_tasks.c: fixed the global cpu usage counter in
      MorphOS. Patch submited by Christian Rosentreter.


2005-03-09  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * for unknown node types the decimal value is now shown.


2005-02-06  Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>
    * imported MorphOS netlib.a, compiled from AmiTCP SDK netlib sources.


2004-02-03  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * The MorphOS makefile autogenerates identify.library stubs.


2004-12-06  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * français.ct: fixed the "Freeze" button to not share its shortcut with
      the "Close" one


2004-12-06  Nicolas Sallin <henes@biclodon.com>
    * français.ct: fixed two buttons previously sharing the same key shortcut


2004-11-06  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * all sources: completely removed the ITERATE_CHANGING_LIST macro, as this
      one was broken by design. It was meant to iterate trough a list while
      changing this list and keeping the next node in a second variable. But
      my assumptions where wrong. Hence there is now a new function called
      FreeLinkedList() which frees all nodes in a list in a really safe way.


2004-11-05  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_vectors.c: getting the AutoVector interrupts is impossible on an
      A1, because this means to access the zero page, which is of course
      forbidden :)

    * scout.c: added two new variables to distinguish between AmigaOS3,
      AmigaOS4 and MorphOS more easily.


2004-10-20  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks.c, scout.cd: the "Free Stack (PPC)" is now a string within
      the catalog.

    * scout_extras.c: the NameCopy() function doesn't convert the characters
      to upper case itself anymore, but uses utility/ToUpper() for this task.


2004-10-20  Nicolas Sallin <henes@morphos.de>
    * scout_system.c: don't read in the zero page to get the last alert data
      under MorphOS


2004-10-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_system.c: getting the last alert data under AmigaOS4 by reading
      these values directly from the zero page is not very good, because this
      makes the GrimReaper appear.


2004-10-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_asm.c, scout_asm.asm: removed SetVBR() from both sources, because
      it was never called at all.


2004-10-17  Nicolas Sallin <henes@morphos.de>
    * scout_asm.c: fixed a function name typo so the file compiles.

    * scout_disassembler.c: added a missing emu trap needed by the MorphOS
      version.


2004-10-16  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_asm.c, scout_arexx.c: updated the MorphOS replacements for SetVBR()
      and MyCause(). LowMemoryHandlers can now also be caused under MorphOS.


2004-10-15  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_asm.c: the latest fixes were somewhat incomplete and some functions
      didn't match the given prototypes in scout_asm.h. This is fixed now. But
      some functions like SetVBR() still have to be implemented to be complete.


2004-10-13  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_asm.c, scout_tasks.c: for MorphOS the CPU usage can now be
      calculated on a per-task basis. The necessary changes have been
      contributed by Ilkka Lehtoranta <ilkleht@isoveli.org>. I hope it works,
      because I am still using an old classic A4000.


2004-10-10  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_tasks.c: for AmigaOS4 the CPU usage cycler now shows only the "off"
      string, because AmigaOS4/PPC doesn't like Scout's current way to get the
      CPU usage. For AmigaOS3 and MorphOS all three entries are still
      available.

    * moved the function NameCopy() from scout_asm.c to scout_extra.c and
      removed the corresponding assembler function from scout_asm.asm


2004-07-09  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * moved the .cd and .ct files to a new directory


2004-06-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * finally the french translation is completed. Many thanks to Herve
      <herve.dpt@free.fr> for all his efforts!


2004-05-31  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_mount.h: the string for the disk state was limited to 16 characters,
      which was a little bit too short for the french translation. Now its size
      should be sufficient even for the most detailed languages :)


2004-05-17  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout.cd, scout_audiomode_detail.c, scout_commodity_detail.c,
      scout_mount_detail.c, scout_screenmode_detail.c: small modifications
      to some strings.


2004-05-08  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * classes/scout_system.c: the uptime information still contained a date
      string, although just the time string would suffice. Now the uptime is
      displayed as number of days and hours online.


2004-05-07  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * tblib/SDI_compiler.h: SAVEDS was defined as __saveds even for MorphOS.
      Now it is defined as nothing, because MorphOS doesn't need it.


2004-05-07  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * Scout should be almost 99.99% natively buildable under MorphOS now. A few
      things may be missing, but that should be fixed quite soon. Thanks to
      Nicolas Sallin <henes@morphos.de> for all his work.

    * all sources: all hook functions and dispatchers have been changed to be
      callable under all Amiga-ish operating systems (that is AmigaOS 3.x,
      AmigaOS 4.x, MorphOS). That should make porting to Scout to AmigaOS 4.x
      and MorphOS a lot easier. Therefore Dirk Stöckers SDI_compiler.h is used
      in favour of the old CompilerSpecific.h.

    * scout_allocations.c, scout_system.c: the complete window layout has been
      rearranged to make it look more similar like all the other windows and to
      make translation of several strings easier.

    * Scout is going to be 100% localized. A french translation is on its way,
      a german translation will be done by myself (I hope :). Volunteers for
      other languages are welcome!


2004-04-07  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * fontdisplay_class.c: the font example text was rendered outside of the
      desired area because of wrong clipping rectangles. It's a shame that
      MUI's own clipping functions are not documented in any way :(


2004-04-04  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * scout_extras.c: again changed the name checking function. Now it uses the
      current locale settings to check each character in a name. This is much
      better than the previous approach, which just could detect 7bit-ASCII
      characters. Now all printable characters are really displayed.


2004-04-03  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@gmx.de>
    * just a little note: I finished my diploma, hence my EMail address has
      changed!

    * scout_extras.c: the name test function is now a little bit more sensible
      about invalid characters and will detect more invalid names.


2004-02-16  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_priority.c: the priority slider is now the active object by default

2004-02-12  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_locks.c: corrected the label position for the pattern string

    * tblib/memory*.c: very little changes. Somehow ExecBase wasn't defined
      anymore...

2004-02-11  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_windows.c: before opening the detail window the existance of a
      screen or window is checked. This behaviour must be implemented for all
      kinds of detail windows (if possible).

    * scout.cd: added 2 new string for the task window: "CPU" and "Secs"

    * scout_tasks.c: finally made the CPU monitor a bit more resistive. Crashes
      should not happen anymore.

    * scout_asm.asm: replaced some Forbid()/Permit() pairs by Disable()/Enable()
      and added a call to CacheClearU() after installing/removing the patches.
      This should cure some problems and crashes, if they existed at all.


2004-02-08  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_tasks.c: rearranged the scanning of exec's task lists (ready,
      waiting, active), because sometimes the task "input.device" was missing. I
      don't know why this happened, but it seems to be cured now.


2004-01-18  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * various sources: corrected the copyright informations to 2004 and "Scout
      Open Source Team".

    * scout_about.c, scout_version.c: the about requester now shows the homepage
      URL at sourceforge.net. If Urltext.mcc is available you can click on the
      URL and you will be beamed directly to that URL :)

    * Scout.c, scout_main.c, scout_extras.c: expanded CheckMCCVersion() to
      display an error requester for outdated custom classes only in certain
      situations.


2004-01-03  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * various sources: removed MEMF_PUBLIC flag from all memory allocations. If
      I am correct, this will be better for OS4.0, and it doesn't cause any harm
      for OS3.x.


2003-12-21  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_tasks.c: the time string parsing routine was buggy and could cause
      crashes under certain conditions. The new routine also handles strings
      with missing numbers correctly (i.e. ".9", "1.", etc).


2003-11-03  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_expansions_detail.c: very minor changes for some fields


2003-10-29  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_commodities_detail.c: NewMouse events are now supported, too. Please
      notify me if they are interpreted wrong, because I still only have a
      standard two-button mouse from C=.


2003-10-07  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_devices.c, scout_devices_detail.c, scout_libraries.c,
      scout_libraries_detail.c, scout_resources.c, scout_resources_detail.c,
      scout_extras.c: the number of functions in RAM instead of ROM is now
      always displayed in decimal notation. No more "***" if all functions are
      RAM based. The detail windows show the ratio of RAM based vectors to ROM
      based vectors.


2003-10-03  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_expansion.c: the expansion list now has an own column for the
      product class instead of merging this with the product name

    * scout_tasks_detail.c: added CLI specific information group

    * scout_net.c, all classes: changes some minor quirks in the networking
      code. Anyway, network support is still far from being perfect.

    * several classes: changed list behaviour in network remote mode not to
      react on double clicks. The "More" button in these windows already
      reflected this behaviour.


2003-10-01  AmiS <amis@amiga.org.ru>

    * Scout.c, scout_extras.c: added Miami(Dx) support


2003-09-24  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_commodities_detail.c: added some more known hotkeys. Even key
      releases (upstroke) are now recognized.


2003-09-23  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_inputhandlers_detail.c, scout_lowmemory_detail.c,
      scout_resethandlers_detail.c: added new detail windows to make disassemble
      and hexdump buttons for is_Code and is_Data entries of the interrupt
      structures possible


2003-09-22  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_audiomode_detail.c: restructured detail window


2003-09-19  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_classes_detail.c, scout_interrupts_detail.c. scout_mounts_detail.c,
      scout_residents_detail.c, scout_tasks_detail.c, scout_windows_detail.c,
      scout_disassembler.c, disassembler_button.c: extended Disassembler window
      and button to be able to show arbitrary data in memory as hexdump. This is
      quite handy for structure elements like "UserData" and similar.


2003-09-18  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_commodities_detail.c: mco_Port can now be shown via the new
      PortButton class

    * scout_windows_detail.c: WindowPort and UserPort of a window can now be
      shown via the new PortButton class

    * port_button.c: new class to show included MsgPort structures

    * scout_tasks_detail.c: pr_ConsoleTask and pr_FileSystemTask entries
      can now be shown as tasks

    * scout_tasks_detail.c: pr_CurrentDir and pr_HomeDir entries are now shown
      as path names instead of addresses.

    * task_button.c: added MUIA_TaskButton_IsProcessPointer to be able to
      distinguish between Exec and DOS tasks.


2003-09-16  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_screenmode_detail.c, scout_tasks_detail.c: restructured detail
      windows


2003-09-11  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_commodities_detail.c: the sub object list now tries to decode hotkey
      events. For ~99% of all combinations this try is successfull. Please eMail
      me if you encounter unknown combinations and know *for* *sure* what it
      should be (this means you are the developer of a certain application :)


2003-09-08  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_classes_detail.c, scout_commodities_detail.c,
      scout_expansions_detail.c, scout_memory_detail.c,
      scout_mounts_detail.c, scout_residents_detail.c,
      scout_windows_detail.c:
      restructured detail windows


2003-09-08  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * scout_fonts_detail.c, scout_interrupts_detail.c, scout_ports_detail.c:
      restructured detail windows


2003-09-04  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * began to restructure the appearance of some detail windows. These windows
      now use virtual groups with one information item in each line. Thus it is
      a lot easier to add more information items if needed without having to
      think how to layout the whole window afterwards. Additionally the
      misalignment that sometimes occured between information label and
      information item is now gone and it is very easy to implement more
      "detail" buttons like the Flags button or the Task button. If you don't
      understand what the news above mean, simply try it and see yourself. I
      hope all becomes clean then.


2003-09-03  Thore Boeckelmann <tboeckel@uni-paderborn.de>

    * the Task button now shows the address of unknown tasks instead of "<no
      task>"

    * all scrollbars of NList lists are now *always* visible, regardless of what
      you configured via the MUI preferences. This avoids a nasty bug in
      NList.mcc and NListtree.mcc that causes the list/tree to give wrong
      minimal sizes and thus making MUI paint these lists/trees over other GUI
      elements. This has been reported by various people, but this is in fact no
      bug in Scout, but in NList.mcc and NListtree.mcc!

    * new class TaskButton encapsulates all kind of embedded task pointers (like
      in message ports). Press on a task button and a detail window for this
      task will be opened.

    * new class FlagsButton encapsulates all kind of flags (screen flags, window
      flags, library flags, etc). This reduces code size about 2K and simplifies
      code handling a lot.

    * inital import of the complete source. Now Scout is real "open source" :)

    * these are the changes made so far since the most recent Aminet release:

      - the system's reset vectors are no longer simple labels with addresses,
        but buttons. When you press one, you will get a disassembly of the
        corresponding address. This feature only works if you have THOR's
        disassembler.library V40 installed. If this one is missing you will get
        a simple hex dump of the memory area.

      - Exec's resident modules are now sorted by priority by default. This
        seems to be a bit more intuitive than keeping one part of the list
        sorted by priority and the other part not sorted at all. Of course, the
        entries that are contained in both lists (KickTagPtr and ResModules)
        still appear twice, once from ResModules (normal) and once from
        KickTagPtr (highlighted).

      - resident commands with more than 2 hunks were enumerated wrongly, e.g
        they had two hunks labeled "number 2". This is fixed now.

      - the Mounts window seemed to crash MorphOS because of uncorrectly
        interpreted FileSysStartMsg pointers. Now there are lots of checks to
        ensure Scout handles only correct FSSMs (Harry Sintonen
        <sintonen@iki.fi>).

      - the KickTagPtr list has been iterated completely wrong. Now this is
        corrected and all resident entries should be displayed (Chris Hodges
        <chrisly@platon42.de>).

      - public screens with open windows can now be closed. This was impossible
        before, because Intuition V36 doesn't let you close a screen with opened
        windows. The situation is even worse for public screens which have a
        visitor counter. Now all locks to a public screen are unlocked before
        closing it.

      - timers can now be aborted. Thus you can speed up timeouts :)

      - the remaining running times in the Timer window were completely wrong
        due to wrong 64bit arithmetic and overflows. All calculations are now
        done by special 64bit math routines, which were already used in the
        Mounts window to calculate the correct volume size.

      - the LowMemory window can now Cause() a specific handler. This had been
        implemented for ages, but for unknown reasons Richard Körber had
        disabled this function. Now it is back again :)

      - lots of code cleanups. Many unused and superflous variables have been
        deleted, many libraries are only opened when needed, etc.

      - some lists are now printed/saved to file in sorted order instead of
        random order. This makes it a lot easier to look for certain entries.
        Some other lists are still printed/saved in random order, because
        sorting them by name makes no sense, since they are sorted by priority.

      - some lists were totally screwed up when being printed to a file.

      - the font display used wrong color on some system, so you didn't see
        anything (Stellan <blakkhar@nwn.de>).
