Changes in version 2.00:

* New streamlined interface, including an advanced alternative to the
  wizard interface (new single dialog interfaces) 
* New remove unlinked (orphan) files command
* Quick path to check/verify the site without modifying it
* User configurable conversions of filename extensions
  (e.g., htm->shtml, asp->html)
* Warn about broken links before renaming files (processing steps reordered)
* If the user chooses to rename files on a site with broken links,
  all possible HTML files will be updated, even if they are apparently
  unlinked to the site
* Progress bar in wizard dialogs shows progress through wizard pages
* Server default name configuration (e.g., <A HREF="subdir/"> resolves
  to "subdir/index.html", "subdir/default.htm", etc.)
* Support for "./file_in_local_dir.htm" style references
* Support for "url.htm" (double quote), 'url.htm' (single quote), and
  url.htm (no quote) URL values in tags
* Expanded support for non-Latin character sets, interprets any file
  containing <html> and <head> tags as an HTML file
* New system fixed font option in View menu
* Fixed > 128 character path length problem on the Macintosh
* Fixed intermittent crashing problem during file saves on the Macintosh
* Fixed a Windows file renaming problem when a long file name is changed
  to match its short (DOS-compatible) file name
* Report line numbers where URL starts rather than where tag starts


Changes in version 1.21:

* Fixed a bug which sometimes substituted invalid directory paths when 
  updating links for relative URLs
* Fixed bugs in updating links in files with <base href="URL"> tags
* Fixed a bug which sometimes missed the end of a comment tag (and thus 
  ignored valid tags until the end of the next comment tag)


Changes in version 1.20:

* Option to convert local links to relative or absolute URLs
* Choice of uppercase or lowercase for all target filesystems 
* Recognize text files with the ISO-8859-1 extended character set used 
  in many Latin-alphabet-based European languages (the <meta http-
  equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> tag must 
  be included in the head of the file)
* Expanded recognition of HTML files -- any file with <HTML> and <HEAD> 
  tags are seen as HTML files, regardless of the filename extension
* Windows NT only: found a workaround for an NT-specific file query bug 
  which caused frequent crashes
* Fixed a bug in renaming URLs of form: <a href="http:../Content1.html">
* Fixed a bug in renaming URLs of form: <a href="directoryname/">; a 
  "ServerDefaultFile" setting in the Preferences/INI file defaults to 
  "index.html" but can be changed manually
* Changed tag/attribute handling so that the following attributes are 
  always searched for URLs: "href", "src", "background", "codebase", 
  "action", "usemap", "dynsrc", "lowsrc", "tppabs"
* Handle unlimited numbers of URLs in one tag
* Under Windows 95 & Windows NT 4.0, the taskbar icon no longer 
  disappears when the wizard dialog pops up.
* Fixed crash when clicking the "Edit" button in the "Verify Filenames" 
  dialog and no file is selected
* Set default focus to the list box in the "Verify Filenames" and 
  "Verify ASCII Line End Conversions" dialogs so you can immediately use 
  the arrow keys to navigate it
* Enable toggling the checkbox state in the list boxes of the "Verify 
  Filenames" and "Verify ASCII Line End Conversions" dialogs by pressing 
  the space bar
* Set the default button to "Edit" in the "Verify Filenames" dialog so 
  pressing the <Return> key now brings up the "Rename File" dialog for the 
  file selected in the list box
* Double clicking on a list box entry in the "Verify Filenames" dialog 
  now brings up the "Rename File" dialog
* The "Rename File" dialog's character entry is improved for 8.3 targets
* Macintosh only: the application's preferred size has been increased 
  from 2000K to 4000K (this should prevent the application from crashing 
  when larger Web sites (> 400 files) are processed)
* The "Register" applications have been updated with this release
* The "report_of_external_refs.html" file is removed if a site has no 
  external URLs
* Incorrect reporting of link renaming has been improved in this 
  scenario: a filename's case is changed and a tag's URL already matches 
  that changed case


Changes from 1.00 to 1.10:

* Added support for URLs in client-side image maps <img usemap="URL">
* Added support for other tag/attribute pairs
* Can now convert filenames to all upper case or all lower case
* Ignore text in HTML comments: "<!-- Comment to ignore -->"
* Option to open the report using an external text editor (prompts for 
  the external text editor when report is greater than 32k bytes long)
* Report the existence of file errors, HTML syntax errors, unresolved 
  links, and unused files at the top of the report
* Updated icons
* Minor modifications to text in dialogs
* Fixed Macintosh version so the license text appears on initial launch
* Launch Web browser when click on "Register online..." button
* Changed URL for online registration
* On Macintosh, fixed wizard dialog size for different installed fonts
* Name change from "Rename!" to "HTML Rename!"
