PR2 contains a couple of minor fixes over PR1, and also adds some minimal  
help to explain the previously undocumented non-command keys like space,  
tab, 'b' and 'f'.

The fixes are related to printing; the fix I put into 2.0 to get printing  
to HPs (and other non-8-bit printers) to work ended up being backwards if  
the image or font being downloaded needs additional filters, but I didn't  
notice that because I didn't have filtered images in my test files.

Please bang on printing, especially those of you with HP printers that  
failed before.

PR2 will be the golden release of OmniPDF if I don't get any major bug reports.

Thanks,

Subject: OmniPentiumPro driver

  Over the last few days, I've whipped up a new driver for Pentium Pro
NEXTSTEP systems that takes advantage of a new Pentium Pro feature.  This  
driver speeds up video access by over 2x!  This driver works on the one P6  
motherboard we have and all of the PCI video cards that we have.  I imagine  
it should work on most systems, but we are interested in having people try it  
out (and enjoy the faster video).

  Check out http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniPentiumPro for complete  
details.

This release fixes a bug introduced in some images in the last release  
(which resulted in getting "stuck" on certain pages), and adds a new feature  
-- text annotation display.

Text annotations are arbitrary notes a user can add in Acrobat and some  
other Adobe PDF utilities.  They show up as little document icons that can  
be clicked on to pop up an annotation window, just like in Acrobat.

Right now annotations aren't editable in OmniPDF.

This version of OmniPDF has a non-expiring license.  In addition, it has
the following fixes since PR3:


- Fixed spacing problem when printing Symbol font

- Fonts present on system are now correctly added to the PostScript file
when printing to a file with the "Current Printer/Include Fonts" option.


You can read more about and download OmniPDF from:


http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniPDF/


Please spread OmniPDF to every archive site that is appropriate, and send
me mail with the URLs of where it went.  I'll add them to Omni's PDF
download page.  (I didn't do this for PR3 because it was such a short
beta.)


-Wil


PS: For those with short memories, OmniPDF 2.0 is faster and has a whole
lot more features than OmniPDF 1.0, and is free to single users.  Contact
omnipdf@lighthouse.com for information about upgrade pricing for multiple
user licenses.

Subject: OmniCVSEOModelerBundle - EOModeler 2.0 bundle for preserving CVS info
X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/andrew/


OmniCVSEOModeler is a loadable bundle for EOModeler 2.0. It causes CVS  
information to be preserved when modifying models. If you're interested in  
this bundle (only useful for those who have EOF 2.0), see the web page at  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCVSEOModelerBundle/. Here's the readme  
- please note the important warning about usage:

--- begin README ---

OmniCVSEOModelerBundle
version 0.5, August 19, 1996
Omni Development, Inc.
info@omnigroup.com
http://www.omnigroup.com/


OmniCVSEOModelerBundle is a loadable bundle for EOModeler 2.0. It causes CVS  
information to be preserved when modified models are saved, thus making it  
much more simple to use CVS in conjunction with EOModeler 2.0.

IMPORTANT WARNING: If EOModeler 2.0 is launched as the result of opening a  
model, it will open the model BEFORE it loads any bundles. The end result is  
that if that model is modified and saved, the CVS information will NOT be  
preserved. Any models opened AFTER EOModeler is launched will have their CVS  
information preserved, so it is strongly suggested that you launch EOModeler  
manually before opening any models.

This bundle is free and may be used and passed around with no restrictions.  
However, no guarantees are made as to this bundle's reliability or  
suitability for any task, including the task for which it is intended. If it  
fails to preserve your CVS information, if it destroys your model, if it  
erases your hard drive, or whatever, Omni is not responsible. We know of one  
way in which CVS information can fail to be preserved: see the warning above.

To use: at the time of this writing, in order to get EOModeler to load in  
bundles you must set a default - BundlesToLoad - telling EOModeler which  
bundles to load. Place this bundle in the desired location (such as  
/LocalDeveloper/EOModelerExtensions) and then set the default accordingly.  
For example:

defaults write EOModeler BundlesToLoad  
"(/LocalDeveloper/EOModelerExtensions/OmniCVSEOModelerBundle.bundle) "

For more details on EOModeler and it's use of loadable bundles, see The  
EOModeler framework and  
/NextDeveloper/Examples/EnterpriseObjects/ModelerBundle from the EOF 2.0  
distribution.

For the latest versions of any Omni software, see  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/.

Oops! The CVS directory was just getting copied, which was confusing cvs on  
the backup files. Now we move the CVS directory, so it's not left in the  
backup file.

An updated version is available via the updated web page:

2.1.3:

* File-based site-wide defaults now work again. They should now be stored 
  in /LocalLibrary/OmniComponents/OmniWeb.defaults. (Note: In OmniWeb 2.0, 
  they were stored in /LocalLibrary/OmniComponents/Omni.dictionary.)
* Inline TIFF images should now display properly again.
* Table cell background colors now extend to the full size of the table
  cell. (They used to only be present behind the cell's text object, which 
  isn't necessarily the full size of its row and column.)
* Timed refreshes now supply the referring page.
* Fixed a bug in the network writing code which could cause it to
  potentially drop some of the data being written. (I don't know whether
  anyone has encountered this or not. The most likely danger would be in
  trying to post a large file.)
* Added the color "bluegreen", since I found a page which uses it (so
  presumably Netscape supports it-unfortunately, I haven't been able to
  find out its exact definition, but I figure any bluegreen color is better 
  than the default black).

It appears the Motorola code in 2.1.3 is corrupt:  2.1.3 fails to start on  
NeXT hardware.  I'll be releasing version 2.1.3a soon to fix this problem.

* You can now leave off the "http://" when entering a new URL in the open
  URL panel (and in other contexts where it's not ambiguous with a relative
  URL from the current page).
* The SpoofUserAgentHeaderFormat default now controls your User-Agent
  Spoofing string (so you can pretend to be Internet Explorer, or whatever 
  else you might prefer).
* Bundle registrations are no longer logged by default. (They can be
  enabled by editing bundleRegistryConfig.dictionary.)
* Specifying <ul type> (with no specified value for the type) will no
  longer crash OmniWeb. (It used to pass the NULL along to NXImage, which
  crashes.)
* Going to named anchors on a unique page (such as a result from a form
  submission or WebObjects page) should now work without trying to refetch 
  the page.
* Authorization hostname comparisons are now case-insensitive.
* Background images should now show through tables with borders properly.
* Table cell background colors now extend to the full size of the table
  cell for tables without borders, too.

* Completely rearchitected into a driver and manager, allowing dynamic
  updates to the MTRR table.  (This is not yet supported by the driver
  inspector, but the command-line manager can be rerun at any time after
  the new driver is loaded to modify settings, although it won't reread the   
  configuration tables.)
* Added support for coalescing adjacent and overlapping memory ranges.
* We now build multiple MTRRs for unaligned memory ranges.
* Autodetection of the frame buffer is much more reliable. (Hopefully,
  nobody should ever need to use the manual settings any more.)
* Added support for caching RAM. (Your BIOS should already set this up, so 
  I suppose really it's support for disabling the caching of RAM.)
* It now reads the current memory cache settings, and merges its changes.
  This should solve the performance problems encountered by people with
  non-power-of-two amounts of memory. (In the old driver, machines with
  power-of-two amounts of memory like 64MB and 128MB would have been fine,
  but machines with other amounts like 48MB or 96MB would probably have
  experienced very bad performance as the additional memory would have
  become uncached.)
* Added (currently untested) support for multiple video cards.
* Improved the inspector UI, and added new inspector options.

Subject: OmniCVSEOModelerBundle v1.0 now available
X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/andrew/


OmniCVSEOModelerBundle 1.0 is now available from our web site. This is a loadable bundle for EOModeler 2.0 which causes CVS info to be preserved when modifying models.

This version no longer has a problem when EOModeler is launched as the result of opening a model. However, this fix requires the final version of EOModeler 2.0. (This is a complete rewrite of the bundle, using notifications which were not available in the beta versions of EOModeler.)

For more info on this bundle, and to download your very own copy, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCVSEOModelerBundle/. If you have any problems or questions, email me.

New in v2.1:

* Opens documents with the standard security manager set, but no password
  (a silly state, but happens a lot).
* Understands the PDF 1.1 custom color spaces, actually uses them (unlike
  Acrobat 2.0, which just ignored them). This is important, as the newly
  released Acrobat 3.0 creates documents with lots of custom color spaces,
  resulting in big black areas with the previous release of OmniPDF.
* Understands the PDF 1.2 "Flate" decompression, allowing most 1.2
  documents to display.

Note that this is a beta version, as it includes some rather major  
changes to some portions of the OmniWeb architecture.

				Ken

Changes in 2.5 beta 1:

* Bug fixes
  - Form text inputs now obey the fixed pitch font preference.
  - Fixed a bug in the Timed Refresh feature which caused future loads of 
    that page to get stuck "Waiting on another process".
  - The referring address is now properly submitted in frames.
* Architecture changes and optimizations
  - Folded in changes from OpenStep frameworks
    _ Moved HTML-parsing classes into OWF.
    _ Split OIF (Omni Imaging Framework) off from OWF.
    _ Completely replaced the OWHTMLToSGMLProcessor with a new, much
      faster, DTD-based version.
  - Updated the OWSGMLProcessor and subclasses to use the new DTD
    registrations and access methods, improving their performance.
  - Marginally improved table rendering speed. Unfortunately, time spent
    rendering tables still completely dwarfs all other processing, making
    the other optimizations insignificant for any pages with tables.
  - Form inputs now submit their values via a new OWFormValue object.
  - OmniWeb now searches for .omniweb and .omniimage components in addition
    to .omni components. (This so that OmniImageViewer can share only the
    .omniimage components.)
  - Cleaned up a bunch of headers, added an OmniWeb project header.
  - Renamed all the imaging bundles to .omniimage.
  - Put the gif-handling code into gif.omniimage.

New in v2.1.1:

  fonts. (Showed up as PostScript warnings with "filter".)
* Fixed bug with documents that don't explicitly set a color before drawing -- 
  now we do what Acrobat does, and draw black.

Version 0.9:

* Now much smarter about adjusting the memory range descriptions to fit
  in the limited MTRR space, and dropping the least important ranges (if
  necessary) rather than the last ones in VM. This has the result of
  fixing all reported bugs; in particular, now works great with dual
  Matrox Millenium configurations.
* Minor whitespace tweak to a log message.
* Incorporated online help. (Thanks to Robert La Ferla.)
* Improved documentation to describe driver settings.

Subject: OmniCD 0.6 released
Cc: andrew
X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/andrew/


The year-long 0.5 beta period for OmniCD has been completed. Thanks to
everyone for making this a very successful beta test. OmniCD now
enters 0.6 beta; there is no word on how long this beta phase will last...
(Version 1.0 will be the first non-beta version. Well, hopefully.)

For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/
(You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.NIHS.b.tar.gz)

Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com.


Changes:

- Works on at least some ATAPI drives, though not quite optimally (most
   device info is not read, and manual opens won't work the first time).
   Should be quite acceptable for the average user, however.

- Very different UI borrowing heavily from the 3.x NEXTIME. (Includes a
   2-bit gray look which looks more like a standard NeXTstep app.)

- App icon control panel may be disabled:
	dwrite OmniCD UseControlIcon NO

- Remembers volume settings between sessions.

- Can read CD digital audio from Plextor CDROM drives (NeXT hardware only*).

- Will attempt to read CD digital audio from Sony/Matshita/Apple and
   Plextor CDROM drives on non-NeXT hardware even though it will
   frequently (always?) fail (used to refuse to try on other
   architectures)*.

- Advanced users can edit the deviceInfo.dict file inside the app
   wrapper to add support for reading CD digital audio from additional
   CDROM drives. The format and data are fairly self-explanatory; email me
   if you have questions. Also, if you have success extending the number
   of supported CDROM drives, please let me know and send me the
   appropriate entry. This will not work for all drive types; some require
   extra support and must therefore be dealt with internally via a special
   subclass rather than by an entry in deviceInfo.dict.

*These may work on non-Adaptec 2940 or BusLogic SCSI cards, but I am
   unable to test them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can
   test CDDA extraction with other configurations.

(Sorry, fast-forward/fast-reverse are still unavailable.)

I'm hoping that the signal to noise ratio on this list will remain high,  
but the definition of what is "signal" on this list is much more broad  
than it is on the rhapsody-dev mailing list.

Subject: OmniCD 0.6.1 released: now supports recording on Intel
Cc: andrew
X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/andrew/


OmniCD 0.6.1 has been released. The major difference between this
version and 0.6, and the reason a new version is being released, is
that recording CD digital audio over the SCSI bus is now supported on
Intel boxes. (Hopefully SPARC and PA-RISC as well, but that's
untested.) Thanks go to Tomas Hurka for finding my error.
(Recording from a Plextor 8Plex is nice and speedy...)

For more info or to download, see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD/
(You can download directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniCD.0.6.1.NIHS.b.tar.gz)

Please report bugs or send requests to omnicd@omnigroup.com.

---

OmniCD is a NeXTstep application for controlling the audio functions of
SCSI CDROM drives. It has some non-perfect support for ATAPI devices,
but they aren't supported, and volume control will not work; neither
will CD digital audio recording. (Feel free to file bug reports,
however.)

OmniCD serves as a replacement for NeXT's CDPlayer application. The
primary reasons for using this application rather than CDPlayer are
that it can be controlled via the app icon, and with certain cdrom
drives it can record the audio directly over the SCSI bus and into a
sound file. Please note: OmniCD requires the Foundation Kit (see the
installation instructions below).

OmniCD is free, but is currently in early (so to speak) beta form. Omni
is not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of using
this software. This application does have fairly low level access to
the hardware, and it's conceivable that it could cause system crashes
with certain hardware combinations, especially when recording. Please
keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and bear with the
incomplete nature of this application. However, please do report bugs,
feature requests and general comments, especially to note non-working
hardware combinations, and to note which bugs/features/etc are most
important to you.


Changes for version 0.6.1:

* Recording is now supported on Intel from CDROM drives which use
12-byte reads, currently Sony/Matshita/Apple and Plextor. May also work
on SPARC and HPPA, but that's untested. (Thanks to Tomas Hurka.)
* Control icon has minor tweaks to give it a bit of depth. (Thanks to Rene Berber.)
* deviceInfo.dict file format improved somewhat. You can now specify
specific models and firmware revisions. See the file for more info and
examples.
* Disabled CDDA transfers for Sony CDU-541 (the NeXT CDROM drive), Sony
CDW-900E, and Toshiba XM-4101TA. These are reported to not support CDDA
transfers.

(Sorry, fast-forward/fast-reverse are still unavailable.)

Subject: Omni DNS Helper now available as a public beta
X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/andrew/


A public beta of Omni DNS Helper has been released. For more
information and to download this application, including source code,
see http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniDNSHelper/.

Briefly, Omni DNS Helper provides a graphical interface for configuring
your Internet domain and domain name server (DNS) entries - it replaces
/etc/resolv.conf and removes the need for manually editing
/locations/resolver in your NetInfo database. You only need this app if
you are responsible for network management of your OPENSTEP/Mach-based
machine.

Please report any bugs, suggestions, juicy rumors to
omnidnshelper@omnigroup.com.

This is an early beta of OmniWeb 3: there are still many bugs, it is  
still very slow, and there are still many features that we haven't yet  
implemented.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ for more information  
(including a list of download sites), or you can download the app  
directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniWeb/.

Please note that the bookmarks file format is not quite backward  
compatible with OmniWeb 2 (it saves dates in a zippier format), so you'll  
want to make a backup copy of your old bookmarks file for use with  
OmniWeb 2.  (In fact, you might want to start a new bookmarks file for  
OmniWeb 3.)

Enjoy!

Release notes for 3.0 beta 3:

* Faster (though still nowhere close to being optimized).
  - Subthreads don't have to lock the main thread as often (we now
    maintain a thread-safe font cache).
  - When subthreads do have to lock the main thread, it responds to their
    requests much more quickly.
  - Tooltip support is much more efficient.
* HTML Display
  - Fixed the exception which (on some pages) would cause background
    layout errors to be reported to the console repeatedly (until the app
    was terminated or the system disk filled up from the huge console
    log).
  - Scroll bars should now always appear when they should.
  - The height of side-aligned images and tables is now correctly taken
    into account when determining the size of a table cell or an html
    page.
  - Side-aligned images and tables at the end of a page (or table cell)
    now display properly.
  - Side-aligned images and tables now obey the left and right margins.
  - Font sizes are rounded to the nearest integer, to avoid triggering a
    bug in the NSText suite's selection mechanism which occurs when the
    text contains fonts of non-integer sizes.
* Preferences
  - Split Preferences into User Preferences and Administrator
    Preferences.
  - Added animated gif preferences.
  - Added gamma correction setting for HTML colors.
  - HTML Source now has several new settings, including one which allow
    you to distinguish between mismatched tags and unrecognized tags.
* Bookmarks
  - Fixed dragging within a bookmarks file.
  - Fixed a bug where double-clicking on a new entry made closing not
    work properly.
* Miscellaneous
  - Browser windows with timed refreshes no longer make themselves the
    main window when the refresh kicks in.
  - The source view no longer crashes when you type a quotation mark
    within a tag without another quotation mark following it somewhere
    within the HTML source.
  - We now prompt for a directory when saving all image links on a page.
  - Made the document inspector's outline view no longer be editable.
  - file: URLs pointing at directories now work properly.
  - Added very primitive support for news: URLs.
  - When sending mail (by messaging the local mail application), we
    convert newlines into spaces in the subject line.
  - Fixed a crasher in GIF processing.
  - Fixed a bug in frame targetting when the target was up more than one
    level.
  - The splash panel no longer forces itself to the front of the screen
    when OmniWeb isn't the active application.
  - Built the Rhapsody version for multiple architectures, so it can run
    on both Rhapsody/PowerPC and (untested) on Rhapsody/Intel.

OmniDNSHelper is intended to fill in a couple of holes in the
networking configuration applications for OPENSTEP/Mach and the
Rhapsody Developer Release. Specifically, the currently provided
configuration apps provide no nice way to maintain your domain name and
DNS server entries.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniDNSHelper/ for more

ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniDNSHelper/.

Release notes for 1.0 beta 3:

* Added support for the Intel version of the Rhapsody Developer
  Release. (untested)

* Modified to tiptoe around an authentication bug in NetInfo which was
  causing a crash in previous versions. It turns out that if you have a
  flat netinfo hierarchy (local netinfo domain == root netinfo domain),
  once you hit the Authenticate button on the authentication panel, the
  app crashes (strcpy with a null parameter). It works fine if your
  netinfo domain isn't flat. Fortunately, if you are root and you are
  editing a local domain then authentication is automatic, so I bypassed
  the authentication panel if you are in this situation. If you aren't
  root and you have a flat netinfo hierarchy, I simply stick up an error
  panel informing you that you can't save changes. The upshot? You're best
  off just going ahead and running this app as root. (Warning: don't make
  this app setuid root as then anyone can make modifications at will.).

Sorry about doing two releases in 24 hours (and pulling beta 3 off our  
ftp site), but some of the bugs in beta 3 were serious enough that we  
decided we'd better fix them quickly and build a beta 3a release instead.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ for more information
(including a list of download sites), or you can download the app
directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/OmniWeb/.

Release notes for 3.0 beta 3a:

* The Search panel works.
* The Search panel displays images for all the targets. (It also supports
  animations now.)
* Reformatting in the HTML Source view properly indents container tags
  which have an implied end tag (e.g., <td> without </td>).
* If a form contains a single text field, hitting return in that field
  submits the form.
* Password text fields are more secure.

Users behind firewalls have reported that OmniWeb 3.0 beta 3a crashes on  
launch (trying to look up the hostname news.omnigroup.com).  If you  
encounter this problem, the workaround is to edit  
OmniWeb.app/Resources/Preferences.omniweb/Resources/Info-nextstep.plist,  
find the line that says:

	OWNNTPServerHost = news.omnigroup.com

and change it to say:

	OWNNTPServerHost = localhost

3.0 beta 3b applies this patch.  (That's the only change in 3b.)

We've added a Developer Resources section to our web site. This section
is intended to provide a place for people to find all the
developer-related resources provided by Omni Development, and to make
it easier for us to release some of our less-polished projects. This
includes pointers to developer-related mailing lists we host,
frameworks and objects, and various tools and extensions to Apple's
OpenStep-oriented development tools.

The Developer Resources section is at:

	http://www.omnigroup.com/DeveloperResources/.


At the same time, we've released an early version of OmniClassBrowser,
an unpolished tool for browsing the class hierarchy in Apple and
third-party frameworks. This version runs on the Rhapsody Developer
Release on PowerPC and on OPENSTEP 4.2 for Mach on NeXT, Intel and
SPARC. (A version for RDR on Intel is forthcoming.)

More information about OmniClassBrowser and a downloadable version of
the application are available at:

	http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniClassBrowser/.

Here's a quick overview of system benefits:

* Avoids conflicting framework search paths caused by different developers
  installing their frameworks in separate locations. Especially nice since in 
  some cases, invalid framework search paths can cause compilation to fail.
* Keeps object files, derived source, and product binaries out of the source 
  tree, and thus the repository. This source/product organization system also 
  makes it easy to develop with remote source trees, and allows you to backup 
  project source without backing up large, reproducable products.
* Fixes several bugs with .DEF file generation under NT, allowing functions
  and other symbols to be exported by frameworks properly.
* Increases application performance by setting framework base addresses, and 
  avoiding dynamic relocation at run-time.
* Provides an easy way to set framework installation paths without actually
  installing frameworks. This is very useful when the default installation
  strategy (copying the product from one location to another) doesn't fit the 
  installation model well.
* Provides convenience targets for updating projects and project components
  from the source repository.
* Enforces compilation with full warnings enabled, rather than the default
  setting which lets some legitimate warnings slip by unannounced.
* Automatically makes explicit references to symbols in each of the
  omnimake-built frameworks, ensuring that those frameworks get loaded at
  application run-time. This is necessary on NT.
* Suppresses unnecessary build output, letting you see errors and warnings as 
  easily as possible.
* Completely disables "clone headers", a feature which we found to be more
  troublesome than not. Replaces this mechanism with a simple copy operation.
* Provides targets for creating optimized, debug builds--something you cannot 
  do with the default Apple Makefiles.
* Fixes several bugs which appear when trying to compile a common codebase on 
  all supported OPENSTEP and PDO platforms.

Omni has come up with a series of enhancements to the Apple build system

We expect the first version to be pretty scary to install, especially

the process for the next release.

X-Url: http://www.omnigroup.com/People/bungi


  The first beta release of OmniObjectAlloc is now available.  OOA is a tool  
that helps you easily locate and fix memory related problems in your  
application.  Currently this includes leaked objects, prematurely freed  
objects and inefficient allocation of objects.  Future versions will add  
other abilities including tracking non-object blocks of memory (allocated  
with NSZoneMalloc and friends) and an array of memory usage optimization  
tools.

  The first beta currently supports OpenStep/Mach Intel 4.2 and Rhapsody/RDR  
Intel.  Support for Rhapsody/RDR PPC will be available very soon (it was  
working, but some recent Mach-O reading optimizations seem to have broken it  
-- possibly byte ordering related).

  For documentation and instructions on downloading see the OOA homepage at:

    http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniObjectAlloc/

  For the time being, please DO NOT send bug reports to any of the mailing  
lists receiving this announcement.  Rather, please send them directly to  
ooa@omnigroup.com.  There will certainly be bugs (check out the Known Bugs  
page) and we shouldn't dilute the signal on any of these lists with talk  
about this beta software.  The obvious exceptions to this are if you find a  
bug AND a workaround, or if you find a leak in a vendor supplied framework  
and you want to supply the rest of the world with a source patch to fix the  
problem.

  NOTE: Notices about followup releases to this software will likely be made  
ONLY on the 'omninews@omnigroup.com' list.  This includes the announcement  
about support for PPC.  If you have not done so already, now would be a good  
time to subscribe.  See

   http://www.omnigroup.com/MailArchive/OmniNews/

  for details on how to subscribe.

  Thanks!

OmniPDF 2.1.3 for NEXTSTEP (and OPENSTEP/Mach) is now available. See
htp://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniPDF/ for details and to download
this application. This is a bugfix release (the OpenStep and Rhapsody
versions already incorporate these fixes). Here are the release notes:

* Fixed bug in CIEA based color spaces -- usually manifested as an
  inability to print some documents. (PostScript would complain about 'g1
  undefined'.)
* Fixed intermittent crasher with encrypted files whose cross-reference
  was split into multiple sections.
* Allow for files with (non-conforming) incomplete trailers.
* Improved accuracy of text placement in certain circumstances.

Unsupported Beta-2, Released Jan 11, 1998

* Runs on Rhapsody/PPC now.
* Added 'Wait For Debugger Attach' and 'Start Child Task Manually' switches
  in the Settings panel to ease debugging applications while they are also
  being examined by OmniObjectAlloc.
* Minimal parsing of gdb initialization files ease entering source
  directories.
* Major optimizations to the internal data structures that should make OOA
  faster and less memory hungry.
* Changed environment variable handling so that if the target process
  launches child processes of its own, they won't create
  /tmp/{alloc,zone}_stats files on OpenStep/Mach.
* OOA will not detect attempts to retain objects that have a ref count of
  zero (ie, it should be deallocated). This is a no-no.
* Cleaned up internals of getting log messages to the output text view from
  the various threads.
* Removed the restrictions that all frameworks must have base addresses. Now
  OOA uses the dyld API to determine what frameworks are loaded and how far
  they were slid upon load. This also gives OOA the ability to notice that
  bundles have been dynamically loaded an read the symbol information from
  them.
* Included scripts to help users get rid of non-YellowBox memory allocation
  calls.
* Split out OOAClient framework resource into its own top-level framework to
  make it easier to statically link.

This is an early beta release of OmniWeb 3.  There are still bugs,  
it is still slow, and there are still features that we haven't yet  
implemented.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ for more  
information (including a list of download sites), or you can download  
the app directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/.

This release expires May 31, 1998.

Release notes for 3.0 beta 4 (from  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ReleaseNotes.html, where  
they're formatted better):

· General
	- Many memory leaks fixed. Still a memory-hog, but not as  
bad. Work continues.
	- Quitting while there are active downloads now pops up a  
warning panel.
	- On Rhapsody, Japanese EUC and Shift-JIS pages work, and  
Japanese characters should display correctly throughout the program  
(bookmarks, progress panels, etc), although the interfaces still  
aren't localized.
	- Setting up a proxy no longer disables accessing machines  
in your local net (duh).
· Bookmarks
	- Dragging into bookmarks won't leave the insert marker  
lying around after you finish an operation.
	- Dragging between bookmarks windows doesn't fail.
	- A bookmark won't lose its annotation text as soon as you  
look at it.
	- Bookmarks no longer temporarily overdraw or draw  
incorrectly, then look OK.
	- Bookmark checking is now limited to only using 3 of the 32  
available threads, so you can no longer lock up OmniWeb by checking  
all your bookmarks at once. Check out the preferences panel for  
bookmarks, and try it!
	- There is now a tiny check button on the bookmark panel  
that toggles whether a tiny check is drawn to the left of bookmarks  
which have automatic checking enabled.
	- The bookmark checking for changes since last viewed  
algorithm has been changed since so many sites now don't return a  
correct 'last-modified-date' header (dynamic HTML killed that). Now  
we actually look at the raw text of the page (skipping tags) and see  
if that has changed since the last time you viewed the page. This is  
nice because pages with dynamic, graphic ads won't trigger the "new"  
flag, as they do in Internet Explorer 4.0's lame attempt to copy our  
feature. (No, we don't store the page text itself, we store a SHA1  
signature in the bookmarks file. Tricky, eh?)
· HTML
	- Text outside of tables now wraps to the right edge of the  
window even if some cells are wider than the window (just like  
Netscape and OmniWeb 2).
	- We now highlight the selected anchor with a dashed box  
(like IE), and use the 'active anchor color' only on links that are  
actively being fetched (like IE and Netscape). This fixes the  
annoying bug where clever HTML authors set the active anchor color to  
be the background color, so as you would select anchors (via  
right-click or whatever) they'd disappear.
	- Tables
		¨ support vertical alignment again.
		¨ background colors work again.
		¨ better layout, more closely imitates Netscape's  
'algorithm'.
· Browser
	- Context menus
		¨ Added context menus for links.
		¨ Added context menus for the page-back and  
page-forward buttons.
		¨ All context menus currently only work on  
Rhapsody/Intel and Win95/NT. Apple is working on Rhapsody/PPC support  
(it was there for a while, but dropped out).
	- Clicking between characters in a link no longer fails. (No  
more ignored mouse clicks.)
	- Fixed random crasher with bringing up find panel.
	- Frames draw border in highlightColor (definable in Win95  
and Rhapsody) around themselves when they are the first responder,  
which lets you know that the history and arrow keys are applying to  
them, not the whole window. Border isn't drawn if the HTML frame  
'border' attribute is off (like in Netscape 4.0, which incidentally  
copied this feature from OmniWeb 2.0).
	- Broswer address field (combo box now, actually) now has a  
title on it, which changes from "Page address:" to "Goto address:"  
depending on whether the address it's showing is the address of the  
page or the address of the page you're thinking about going to. Works  
nifty.
	- The selected anchor nows draw a little dotted box around  
itself a la IE. We used to draw the selected anchor in the "selected  
anchor" color, but since no one else was doing this bad HTML authors  
would make the selected color be the same as their background color  
(don't ask me why) and so the selected link would disappear. Now we  
only draw a link in the selected color if it's actually being  
followed, like IE and NS.
· History
	- New history preferences panel.
	- New persistant history panel remembers where you've been,  
sorts addresses by site.
	- History for frames works again (hitting arrow keys with  
frame selected moves the frame back).
	- Combo box can work off of persistant history or window history.
· Processes panel
	- New layout. More information on processes, presented in a  
clearer manner.
	- New process queueing and priorities system:
		¨ All processes are now sorted into 5 headers,  
currently "Saving Files", "Web Pages", "Downloads", "Search Engines",  
and "Checking Bookmarks".
		¨ Processes now have a priority based on which  
header they belong to. Thus, file saving will always grab a thread  
before web pages, and web pages will always have precedence over  
checking bookmarks.
		¨ In addition, each header will only allow its  
children to tie up a limited number of the available threads  
(currently 32). For example, checking bookmarks can only use 3  
threads at once.
		¨ The number of available threads has been increased  
from 8 to 32. There is now a hidden preference (which will be  
brought out later) so experts can play with this.
	- Headers now show the progress of all their children,  
combined, in their status bars. They also give an indication of how  
long their children will take.
	- Process's status bars will draw in gray outline if the  
process doesn't have a thread yet, rather than drawing the spinny  
barber pole. This gives a good indication of whether you are waiting  
for your machine or the remote machine.

P.S. -- OmniImage 4.0 beta 1 is also available from the ftp site, we  
just haven't created a web page for it yet.  OmniImage 4.0 is  
multithreaded, displays images incrementally, and supports the same  
image formats as OmniWeb (e.g., animated gifs, progressive jpegs,  
pngs), but in this first beta release it doesn't yet support saving.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/DeveloperResources/ for more information,  
including release notes describing the changes from the last source  
release.  (One of the most notable changes is that they no longer  
require OmniMake, which makes it much easier to use them in  
environments to which OmniMake has not yet been ported or where perl is  
not installed.)  This is a release of the source code which is used by  
the latest OmniWeb.

The OmniBase framework is a small framework encapsulating some code  
and resources used by virtually all of our other frameworks and  
applications.

The OmniNetworking framework is a set of Objective-C classes which  
wrap the native operating system BSD-based networking APIs of Rhapsody,  
OpenStep/Mach, and Windows 95/NT in an object-oriented form, allowing  
developers to write networking code which works on all three platforms  
without platform-specific changes.

The source code to both OmniBase and OmniNetworking is provided free  
of charge, and may be freely used by any application.

  OmniObjectAlloc beta-3 is now available for download from

    http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniObjectAlloc/

  This is an unsupported beta release.  Please send bug reports to  
ooa@omnigroup.com


  Changes in this release include:


- This release is currently only for OpenStep/Mach 4.2 Intel. I haven't had
  time to build, package and test it to Rhapsody DR Intel/PPC. I will
  definitely do so after the Apple World Wide Developer Conference.
- I have not updated the documentation to reflect the changes in this
  release, mostly since I haven't build this version under Rhapsody DR and
  I'd like to keep all of the screenshots using the Rhapsody UI. Also, I'm
  somewhat pressed for time. As above, this will be done after WWDC.
- Added basic support for zones. Zones are displayed in the object table view
  in the main document window (assuming that table column is included). The
  default zone (returned by NSDefaultMallocZone()) is displayed as 'Default'.
  Others are displayed as a integer corresponding to the order in which the
  zone was created. This allows you to make sure that you are putting objects
  in the zone that you expect. In the case of OmniWeb, we use this to make
  sure that long lived objects (ie, those objects left after you open a web
  page, close it, and then flush the cache) are in a zone dedicated to such
  objects. This reduces memory fragmentation and can improve locality of
  reference.
- Added a 'page display' tool. This will list all of the pages that are being
  used for heap or VM allocated memory obtained via NSAllocateMemoryPages.
  You can select each page of memory and see a graphical display of what
  nodes are on that page. If you click on one of the nodes, it will be
  selected in the main document window.

  For each page, you can see how many nodes are allocated in that page, how
  many bytes the nodes take and what the percentage efficiency is for that
  page. This allows you to find pages that have only a few nodes on them,
  thus wasting most of the page, and do something to group them more
  effectively with other nodes (perhaps by putting them in a zone).
- Added a prototype garbage detection facility. Currently, this looks at all
  of the nodes in the selected mark and runs a conservative garbage detector
  over those blocks of memory. This is useful when you are trying to figure
  out which object out of a large group is the root of a leak. This won't
  help track down retain-cycles unfortunately. In the future there will be
  some enhancements to this functionality (and the UI presenting it).
- Fixed a thread locking bug that had been around for a while, possibly since
  beta-1.
- Optimized storage of node statistics. This renders the stack outline tool
  inoperative since it used the old inefficent storage method. In the future,
  this tool will regenerate the information it needs from the compact
  information that is now stored. This sames a ton of memory and makes OOA
  faster.
- The OOA files are now released as two packages. The first contains the
  frameworks necessary in addition to the normal OmniFrameworks package. The
  second contains the application itself. This should make installation
  easier and less error prone.

This is a beta release of OmniWeb.  There are still bugs, it is still  
unoptimized, and there are still features that we haven't yet  
implemented.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ for more information  
(including a list of download sites), or you can download the app  
directly from ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/.

Release notes for OmniWeb 3.0 beta 7 are available at  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ReleaseNotes.html.

This release expires September 30, 1998.

Enjoy!

Release notes for 3.0 beta 7 (from  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ReleaseNotes.html, where  
they're formatted more nicely):

Released on June 4, 1998. Changes include:

* New plugins:
  - Java: this is our first public beta of Java, ONLY for Rhapsody DR2  
and newer. Still some stuff to be done, but, hey, you asked for Java,  
here's Java.
  - Macromedia flash: We don't do JPEGs or sound yet, but you can  
watch the South Park movies and take the quiz.
  - QuickTime downloader: While we're waiting for info on how to use  
QuickTime from Rhapsody, we've temporarily made OmniWeb at least show a  
nice big button for QT movies that you can click on so they'll  
download and open in the viewer.

* New features:
  - Services now work on text selected in the new HTML view. Took nine  
minutes of coding. OpenStep rules.
  - Plugins now end in ".plugin" so people will stop asking us if we  
support plugins.
  - Plugins now can register what version they are and what versions  
of other components they require, so we won't load out-of-date plugins  
any more.
  - Added a menu item for "Stop Animations". Also, made animations  
stop when you leave a page, which seems like a darn good thing, really.  

  - We now parse mailto URL parameters, i.e.  
mailto:x@y.com?subject=hi&cc=z@q.com&body=blah
  - Added support for <EMBED> and <OBJECT>. Right now we have the  
flash and QT plugins that use this.
  - Table cells can now have background images, like Netscape and IE 4.0. 
  - By popular demand, removed the "check" button from the bookmarks  
panel -- it is now effectively always on.
  - Removed seperate preferences for gray colors. Been a long time  
since 2-bit grayscale was hip.

* Bugs fixed:
  - Pages are now always completely rendered. (For example,  
http://www.eff.org/papers/eegtti/eeg_toc.html would stop drawing after  
the bullet following "Ontario".)
  - Closing the browser window after rendering a particular HTML page  
(and presumably similar pages) caused OmniWeb to start chewing CPU.  
This has been fixed (and that page now displays faster initially as  
well).
  - Find now works correctly in pages with tables, including  
side-aligned tables. It actually works a lot better than in OmniWeb  
2.x, as I've fixed a bunch of longstanding thinkos. Find won't get  
stuck in TEXTAREAs any more (but will find text in them).
  - 'Jump to Selection' now works for all text objects.
  - Turned off the 'Netscape compatible nonterminated entities'  
preference by default, since Netscape 4.0 has finally thrown away this  
hack. Good for them! Also, cut down our entities list to only support  
the ones Netscape and IE do, because people do stupid things like write  
URLs of the form: 'http://www.foo.com/cgi-bin/submit&prod=blah'. Since  
&prod is an HTML 4.0 entity, it will be turned into a big 'x' (the  
mathematical product symbol) by browsers that understand extra  
entities. So, since we can't change the world, we restricted our  
browser's entities, so now if it doesn't trip up Netscape and IE, it  
won't trip us up. Fixes a LOT of problems people have been having with  
forms not submitting correctly on some sites.
  - Cookies were sometimes lost inappropriately due to STUPID SERVERS  
NOT FOLLOWING THE HTTP SPEC FOR DATES. Since lots of servers don't  
follow the spec, we totally rewrote our date parsing to encompass all  
the servers we've seen. Let us know if we're missing any.
  - If you have the preference set for auto-checking bookmarks, now  
they only check as often as you asked, rather than EVERY time you open  
your bookmarks.
  - The setting of the "Netscape compatible nonterminated entities"  
and several other preferences wasn't saved.
  - The "Use Defaults" button on the preferences panel didn't work for  
most preferences.
  - Formatting
    o On OPENSTEP/Mach, form input text fields would sometimes be too  
narrow if you'd changed your fixed-width font.
    o Special-cased two windows characters that weren't displaying  
correctly by the NSText system.
    o <SELECT> tags without the MULTIPLE attribute now keep their  
selection -- works around an OpenStep bug that still exists in  
Rhapsody.
    o <SELECT> tags now always display the number of rows the user  
asks for (the way Netscape always has), which allows forms pages to be  
formatted purdier.
    o <break clear=foo> was failing if it was the next-to-last thing  
in a text object and a side-aligned image was last.
  - OmniWeb sometimes crashed on launch when it tried to send a  
message to an NSString constant from two threads simultaneously. (This  
is a bug in Foundation which we've worked around in other places, but  
we needed to work around it in OIAnimationFrame too.)
  - Fixed a display bug where the last line of a paragraph before a  
paragraph with a much bigger font would sometimes be WAY too tall.
  - Fixed a bug that caused unkillable processes which would hang out  
in the processes panel forever.
  - Worked around a crasher with secure text fields that is actually  
Apple's bug, so hopefully they'll fix it themselves soon.
  - Worked around a Rhapsody bug with accessing the font panel before  
you render a page and then not being able to see any other pages.
  - Fixed URL parsing bug that was pretty obscure but resulted in  
multiple slashes between the hostname and the path.

This is a minor revision to last night's release of OmniFrameworks.   
It fixes a bug in the HTML/XML parser where we didn't understand  
some non-conforming but very common HTML, such as

	<A HREF=http://www.omnigroup.com/>

rather than

	<A HREF="http://www.omnigroup.com/">

You can download the updated OmniFrameworks 1998E3 package from  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/.  (You don't need to  
download anything else if you've already downloaded 3.0 beta 7 in the  
last 8 hours.)

  The first beta release of OmniCD 2.0 for MacOS X Server (Rhapsody  
DR2, PPC and Intel) is now available from  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniCD2.

  OmniCD 2.0 is a complete rewrite of OmniCD for NEXTSTEP that  
current provides most of the same functionality except for CDDA  
recording (which will be added later), but also add integration with  
CDDB.  This allows OmniCD to display artist, title and track  
information for most CDs automatically.

  Please see the web page for download details.  Problems with or  
questions about this release should be directed to  
mailto:omnicd@omnigroup.com

  This is a small upgrade from beta1 that includes the following:

* Added exception handling around connection to CDDB so OmniCD will not exit
  if the connection fails.
* Added preferences to set the CDDB server hostname and port number.
* Added preferences UI to display a list of CDDB servers (obtained from the
  current CDDB server) and to allow you to select a new server from that
  list.
* Added a preference to turn off CDDB lookups. This will probably only be
  used by those on a disconnected network or those behind a firewall.
* Added preference to automatically start playing discs when they are
  inserted.

  This should fix problems that those of you on unconnected or firewalled  
networks are seeing with errors connecting to the CDDB server.  Please let me  
know (at omnicd@omnigroup.com) if there are still issues.

  Please note that you need to download and install all of the packages  
(including the frameworks package) even if you have installed beta1.

  beta3 adds support for ATAPI devices and CDDB over HTTP, including using a  
proxy HTTP server.  This should allow many more people to run OmniCD 2.0  
successfully.

OmniCD 2.0 beta3, Released Aug 17, 1998

* Fixed support for ATAPI drives. This has been tested on my G3 tower which
  seems to be very restrictive, so hopefully this means that it will actually
  work on a wide variety of drives. Please let me know if it doesn't work on
  your ATAPI drive (and send in the results of running with OSCSIGenericDebug
  as described on the Trouble Shooting page.
* Added support for CDDB over HTTP, including sending requests through an
  HTTP proxy server. This does not include support for proxy servers that
  require authentication. If this is a problem for you, please let me know.
* Revamped the preferences UI for selecting the CDDB server, including the
  ability to select a proxy server if the selected protocol is http.
* Added a menu item to force a query of the database. This is useful when
  testing whether your new CDDB configuration works or when you have
  automatic CDDB queries disabled and wish to only occasionally query the
  database.
* Added a 'Help' menu item. Currently this brings up a html file that doesn't
  contain any real content. It will get filled in more later.
* If you are using PPC hardware with an internal SCIS or ATAPI CDROM, please
  see the Trouble Shooting page if you don't get any audio.

Release notes (from  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ReleaseNotes.html):

   3.0 beta 8 Released on Sep 29, 1998. Changes include:
     * Licensing
          + This is the first version of OmniWeb 3 to use our licensing
            framework. An expiring 10-user license has been provided for
            this beta release; a non-expiring 1-user license will be
            provided for the final release. If you would like additional
            licenses please contact sales@omnigroup.com.
     * Features
          + Added "Shortcut" preferences, which allow you to add
            shortcuts for URLs. (For example, you can enter a shortcut so
            that typing "ow3" will take you to
            "http://www.omnigroup.com/Omniweb/3/".)
          + Keyboard navigation of form elements is now supported.
          + We've added support for the <spacer> tag. (Handy for
            CyberStudio-generated pages.)
     * Optimizations
          + Pages with lots of links render much more quickly.
          + Memory usage is reduced and much more localized.
     * Bug fixes
          + Refetching an inline image twice no longer causes a spinning
            cursor and event lagging.
          + Dragging from an image map or an image inside an anchor drags
            the image rather than following the selected link.
          + The stop button actually works properly now.
          + Find works in frames.
          + Top-aligned cells now align along the true top of a line,
            rather than aligning with the top of the text to that point
            of the line.
          + You can jump to named anchors with no contained text.
          + Several bugs with cookies have been fixed.
          + Fixed a bug in the time remaining calculation in downloads.
          + Saving edited HTML source no longer changes the source's
            encoding.
          + Fixed some bugs in the proxy server preferences panel.
          + Fixed some bugs in frame targetting.
          + Fixed a bug where images would be scaled proportional to
            their alternate text before being fetched if only one
            dimension was specified. (This made the graphics on The Apple
            Store's main page jump around a lot as it was loading.)
          + Probably a bunch of other minor bugs.

We've just discovered that there is an incompatibility which prevents OmniWeb 3.0 beta 8 from running on NeXT hardware. We are working on a solution and will post a new version when we have resolved the issue. We're sorry about the inconvenience and will post another notice when a fixed version is available.

This is an update to the previous notice of an incompatibility between OmniWeb 3.0 beta 8 and NeXT hardware. We now believe that the problem may be more based on network configuration. We have been able to confirm that beta 8 runs fine on some NeXT hardware, and we suspect that it may give problems with certain configurations no matter what the hardware, though we currently believe that the suspect configuration is fairly rare. At this point we're still trying to nail down the exact problem and come up with a solution.

The problem manifests itself as a crash while the application is attempting to launch. An error message is logged to the system console (accessible via the Tools menu). This error message concludes something like "failed to join the address 224.12.56.19". If you are experiencing this problem, we encourage you to send email to omniweb3@omnigroup.com with details of your system configuration (hardware, OS version, whether or not you use PPP, whether or not you have an ethernet card, etc). PPP users encountering this problem may wish to check and make sure that their PPP connection is up as this may have an effect on the behavior.

Release notes for 3.0 beta 8b:

* Our licensing framework no longer uses multicast (which failed in  
some configurations).

* OmniWeb plug-ins are now required to specify which version of the  
frameworks they use, so that we don't crash due to incompatible  
plug-ins.

Quake II for Rhapsody DR2 is now available for download from
ftp://ftp.omnigroup.com/pub/software/RhapsodyDR/.  To play, you'll
need the Quake 2 levels (either the full levels from the Quake2
CD-ROM, or possibly the demo levels from id's web site).

To unpack the .tar.gz file, use the command:

	gnutar xzf Quake2.19-1998-12-22-RDR2.tar.gz

This will create Quake2.app.

This first public release does not support hardware rendering.  Any  
feedback on this port should be sent to quake2@omnigroup.com.

				Happy Holidays!

For those interested, we've now set up a web page for the Rhapsody port of Quake II. While not perfect, this should be a lot more helpful than the ftp URL and terse instructions I mailed out before. We may also be adding some tips if people report on any hardware-specific oddities or run up against common problems installing.

Also, unclear from my first message is that we've released only a PowerPC build of Quake II, no Intel build.

OmniWeb beta 8b comes with a temporary ten-user license which

expire until March 31, by which time MacOS X Server is expected to

OmniDictionary 1.0 is now available for Rhapsody DR2. This is a client
for network dictionary servers (so requires that you be connected to
the network in order to perform lookups). OmniDictionary also provides
a "Define in OmniDictionary" Service so you can select unrecognized
words in all your favorite apps and simply hit cmd-= to perform a lookup.

See http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniDictionary/ for more information
or to download the application. Questions, bug reports and feature requests
should be sent to omnidictionary@omnigroup.com.
