Update Info			(version r10.5)			22/01/07
~~~~~~~~~~~			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~			~~~~~~~~

This archive is just an 'extract-over-the-top' package that updates a few
things here and there, and generally improves things in one way or another
- in other words, its what the original archive should have been... but
wasn't quite ;)

Simply extract this zip over the top of an existing AIAB r10/r10a/r10b/r10c
setup and everything should be dandy.  I'd also recommend using the 'Update
Icons' script (in the Start Menu) which will correct icon positioning, as
well as add any new programs etc.

- Now Updated menus for new Scalos 40.xx features.
- Fixed 'Open with--->GoldED' entry, which would always guru.
- Added some AIAB logo iCandy to Scalos.
- Added 'NOWAIT' argument to 'c:loadwb.scalos' line in startup-sequence.
  VisualPrefs now sets pens/palette correctly when Scalos screen opens.
- Enabled TrueType font rendering for icon text - a real memory killer!
- Increased default spacing for text/icons, improving 'cleanup' appearance.

- Update ENVARC:sys/font.prefs to fix 'double shadow' problem with new Scalos.
- There remains one minor quirk that needs to be ironed out with this latest
  version; namely that pattern thumbnails will not display correctly in the
  Scalos Pattern Prefs.  The preview area does now function again, however.
- Thanks to Jean-Marie Coat for coding a plugin to hide the ENV: volume from
  the desktop, and allowing me to use it in here.  I gather that the next Scalos
  version will offer such functionality internally, however for the time being
  Jean-Marie's plugin works well.
- The Scalos v41.4 archive includes a separate file (jpegpicture.pvplugin) for
  generating JPEG thumbnail icons, however the standard thumbnail generator works
  just as well using system datatypes, therefore I decided it was unnecessary.

AIAB-OS4 Theme:	AIAB now sports a modern VP/Birdie theme; based on 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~	AmigsOS4, with some elements redesigned from scratch.
		Big thanks to Bernd Gollesch for his assistance. 
			 
C:Birdie			---> 1.5 ('2000' version is unnecessary)
Prefs/.../AIAB-OS4-Images/*	---> 1.0 (hand-painted!)
S:JIT-Startup			---> 2.0

- ENVARC:TitleShadow.prefs enabled 'Birdie Mode', disabled inactive shadow.
- Added Birdie checking in s:JIT-Startup, preventing VisualPrefs issues.


PNG Icons:	Accompanying the new VP theme, whilst providing a splendid	
~~~~~~~~~	example of Scalos' ongoing improvements, AIAB now offers
		PNG icon functionality; beautifully demonstrated by Damir
		Sijakovic's, 'Cat_i' iconset.  Massive thankyou to 'd980'!

- Added PNG icon functionality, updating 'Set Iconset' scripts according.
- 'Cat_i' PNG icons have been manually tweaked; scaled to 85% and resaved
  using PNGout compression, minimising filesize and possibly improving speed.
- Removed 'Cancel' option from 'Set Iconset' requestor shown at AIAB Setup;
  it wouldn't be terribly wise to overlook installing icons... 
- Added workaround for Scalos'PNG icon bugs/issues:
	* Shell.info 	 --> converted to NewIcon; tooltype parsing fixed.
	* ScreenTab.info --> converted to NewIcon; tooltype parsing fixed.
	* GUI.info	 --> 'Start from' changed to 'Shell'; program opens.
	* Clock.info	 --> 'Start from' changed to 'Shell'; program opens.
	* AIAB-Shell.info--> The default iconify icon for KingCON windows
			     (actually handed by Scalos' def_xxx.info function) 


TTEngine:	Further improving the standard UI, AIAB now utilises TrueType
~~~~~~~~	font rendering for icon text labels.  Extra typefaces can be
		installed by using the 'TTEmanager' preferences programme.
	
LIBS:ttengine.library		---> 7.2
Prefs/TTEManager		---> 1.2
FONTS:_TTF/*.ttf		---> n/a

- 'TraditionellSans-Bold.ttf' has been slightly modified (v1.1) from the original
  freeware typeface by Manfred Klein, to improve icon text appearance and kerning.


AmiStart:	The rather splendid 'AmiStart' start-menu program has been added
~~~~~~~~	to the setup, thus rounding-off the visual improvements to AIAB.
		This fine tool from Darius Brewka offers extensive configurability
		options, documented online at: http://people.freenet.de/dariusb/ .

SYS:Tools/Amistart/*.*		---> Images by 'd980' and myself
SYS:WBStartup/AmiStart		---> 0.66b

- Functionality to select preferred start-menu program ('AmiStart' / 'ScreenTab').
- Boosted WinUAE system memory size for added stability (see information below).
- Unreleased beta version offers functionality under Kickstart 3.0 and adds several
  extra customisable features (bitmap arrow gadgets etc.)

		
MUI:
~~~
MUI:libs/mui/BetterString.mcc	---> 11.10
MUI:libs/mui/BetterString.mcp	---> 11.10
MUI:libs/mui/HotKeyString.mcc	---> 12.6
MUI:libs/mui/NFloattext.mcc	---> 19.52
MUI:libs/mui/NList.mcc		---> 20.117
MUI:libs/mui/NListtree.mcc	---> 18.24
MUI:libs/mui/NListtree.mcp	---> 18.12
MUI:libs/mui/NListview.mcc	---> 19.72
MUI:libs/mui/NListview.mcp	---> 19.68

MUI:libs/mui/Textinput.mcc	---> 29.5
MUI:libs/mui/Textinput.mcp	---> 29.5
MUI:libs/mui/TextinputScroll.mcc---> 29.5
MUI:libs/mui/Urltext.mcc	---> 19.7
MUI:libs/mui/Urltext.mcp	---> 19.7

- Removed MagicWB.mcp/FontDisplay.mcp compatibility duplicates, as
  they are unnecessary thanks to WinUAE's filesystem improvements.
- Added workaround for possible NTFS filesystem issues preventing
  the idiosyncratically named '«Global».prefs' from being used.  Now
  the file is extracted during the 'AIAB Setup' process.

LIBS:reqtools.library		---> 39.3r2
CLASSES:images/titlebar.image	---> 40.15



Misc. Tweaks:
============

- MCPcachefontlist coded on request by Dieter Groppé (thanks!), is run
  automatically at startup to ensure the fontcache is always up-to-date.
- Reverted back to the original, non-optimised muimaster.library after
  reports that it can cause incompatibility.  MUI programs may 'feel'
  slower as a result.
- Increased SYS:System/Scout.info icon stack size to 16000.
- Added updated/optimised 'rtg.library' from Bernd Roesch
- Removed 'DEVS:Monitors/UAEgfx.info' as it is unnecessary.
- Removed 'C:MagicMenu.info' as it is unnecessary.
- MagicMenu now uses the 'Gap' method to render separator bars.	
- Native AHI support is working again since WinUAE 0.8.22!
- Moved l:env-handler to c: & modified startup scripts accordingly.
- Tweaked a few more MCP settings; enabled solid window moving/sizing;
  disabled screen dimmer/blanker.
- Removed C:Visage and all its references (def_icons, DOPUS etc.) as
  viewing images using Multiview/Datatypes is arguably preferable.
- Added 'MinStack 50000' line to 'S:startup-sequence' to help VisualPrefs
  related stack overflow lockups  when (re)opening Workbench screen
  (e.g. changing resolutions).  Thanks to Bernd Roesch/Peter Keunecke.
- Commented out 'wait 1' line in 'S:aiab-startup', initially added for
  RexxMast startup compatibility, but seemingly unnecessary now...
- Switched to 'zDir' for the default 'Dir' command; various reasons.
- S:Shell-Startup tweaked; shell windows now use a black background.
- Remade default.uae WinUAE configuration file using WinUAE v1.0.
  Given the UI improvements, I've decided to bump-up the specs of the
  emulated Amiga a little - take a look at the FAQ for more information.
- SysSpeed benchmark module using WinUAE v1.0 and default.uae settings.
- Updated older GlowIcons/ProLite iconsets, adding missing icons etc.
- Added a 'Open Folder' button to DirectoryOpus for...opening folders.
- Remade the Windows 'AIAB.ico' icon; now uses alpha blending.
- Finally replaced InstallerNG with the official version from OS3.5 NDK.
- Upgraded to latest AmiKit version of KingCON and tweaked a few WINDOW=KCON:
  references to use default KCON.prefs.  Consequently, VisualPrefs no
  longer needs extra workarounds.  See the full changelog in L: for
  further information. Big thanks to Jan Zahurancik for the update.
- Bumped version number up to 'r10.5'.
