==================================
    MICROSTATION V8.11 V8i ONLY!
==================================
 
===========================================
InfoSnap v2.2.16 --- 19 Sept 2010 -- UPDATE
===========================================

=================
  FIXED:
=================

- Enhance Accusnap Balloon: 'Z-Coord' toggle was too restrictive, rejecting several acceptable 
  elements. This is corrected now. All planar elements parallell to Z-plane are now accepted.
  (Thanks Thomas Voghera for alerting me)

- When 'Report Zero Values' was enabled, InfoSnap could report nonsensical readouts such as zero 
  area and and zero volume for lines, text elms, etc. (Thanks John Cannon for alerting me)

- 'View Attributes' popup in MicroStation V8i was mistakenly treated as a dialog box by AutoNuke. 


===========================================
InfoSnap v2.2.15 --- 23 June 2010 -- UPDATE
===========================================

=================
  NEW STUFF:
=================

- Reporting Text Properties for Element Tags.
  (thanks to Greg Carlill for pointing out this omission)

- New modifier was added to AutoNuke control (in 'Settings-2'). Now you can choose which AutoNuke
  behavior you prefer to use. When 'tight' is enabled, nuked dialog boxes will return as soon as 
  you move the cursor away. When 'tight' is disabled nuked dialogboxes will return when cursor 
  leaves all views area (this is the default). 


=================
  FIXED:
=================

- When dialog boxes were nuked by AutoNuke or AutoSweep and forcefully reopened by reactivating 
  the tool to which they belong, they opened as semi-transparent. This bug is fixed now.
  (thanks to Jeffrey L. Callicott for bringing this to my attention)

- 'Z-Coord' AccuSnap enhancement toggle required at least one snap in DGN file before it started 
  reporting Z coordinates. This is fixed now (thanks to Thomas Voghera for bringing this to my 
  attention). Note that only planar linear elements in XY plane are reported by this toggle.

- 'X,Y,Z-Range' AccuSnap enhancement toggles reported incorrect ranges for Mesh elements. 
  This is fixed now.
 

===========================================
InfoSnap v2.2.14 -- 25 April 2010 -- UPDATE
===========================================

=================
  NEW STUFF:
=================

- Enhance AccuSnap Balloon - the whole GUI was redesigned and added several customization options.
  Now it is easy to control layout of data which is injected to AccuSnap balloon. 

- InfoSnap Toggle "View Saved+" has been enhanced. This toggle is only effective when snapping 
  to 'nothing' in view. It presents a choice of standard view orientations in InfoSnap balloon. 
  Several new choices were added. You can choose which ones you want to have present in balloon 
  and in which order.  Define environment variable INFOSNAP_STANDARDVIEWS and assign only those
  letters (shown in the first column) which are representing your desired view rotations.

  Possible choices:

  T = Top 
  I = Iso
  F = Front
  R = Right
  L = Left
  B = Back
  O = bOttom
  G = riGht iso
  N = Next
  P = Previous

  Default setting is corresponding to:  
 
  INFOSNAP_STANDARDVIEWS = TIFRLBOGNP
 

=================
  FIXED:
=================

- Problem with AutoNuke when AutoSweep was inactive. Dialog boxes did not returned after nuking.
  (Thanks Thomas Voghera for bringing this to my attention)

- Crashes when snapping to Transient elements when working in Activated Reference File and using 
  particular AccuSnap balloon enhancements (Angles or Nodes toggles activated in InfoSnap). 
  (Thanks Damon Aspden for bringing this to my attention)

- Assuming you have 'View Saved' toggle enabled: When you snap to nothing, there are saved views 
  presented in the InfoSnap popup balloon. Selecting any of these should activate it in the same 
  view where the current snap occured. Unfortunately, this didn't work that way. Saved views were 
  activated in the view where the last snap to a graphic element occured. Now this bug is fixed. 
  (Thanks Job Goedhart for bringing this to my attention)

- Sometimes when AutoSweep was active and user closed a View which was partially obscured by a dialog 
  box, sometimes an error message was displayed in MicroStation Message Area stating an InfoSnap 
  error ("unable to resolve handle of window 0x...."). This glitch was absolutely harmless, never
  the less I finally managed to both reproduce and resolve it. 

- Font Name is working again in V8i. Caveat: works only for Active DGN. Support for Font Names from 
  reference files will be fixed later. (Thanks John Cannon for reminding me ;)


===============================================
InfoSnap v2.2.9 -- 01 Feb 2010 -- FINAL RELEASE
===============================================

NEW STUFF:

- Automatic Updates communication parameters can be fine tuned.
 
  In case of difficulties to establish a stable connection to InfoSnap update site, you can adjust
  key parameters which are controlling InfoSnap Internet access. This is done by defining environment 
  variables as follow:   

  INFOSNAP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = number of seconds to wait for connection to be successfully initiated. 
  Default is 10 seconds.
  
  INFOSNAP_CONNECT_RETRIES = number of attempts to initiate connection. 
  Default is 2 consecutive attempts.
  
  INFOSNAP_TRANSFER_TIMEOUT = max length of inactivity during transfer before connection is dropped.
  Default is 120 seconds. 


FIXED:

- Fixed crash when View Buddy was active and newly opened V7 DGN file prompted about conversion 
  from V7 to V8 file format. Crash occured only when certain toggles were active in View Buddy.

- Several small glitches not worthy mentioning here.


InfoSnap v2.2.8 -- 06 Jan 2010 -- FINAL RELEASE CANDIDATE
=========================================================

NEW STUFF:

- ViewBuddy can now issue warning whenever there are missing reference Raster files.

- now it is possible to display a custom text or contents of two environment variables in 
  MicroStation title bar. Two new InfoSnap environment variables were added for this purpose: 
  INFOSNAP_BANNER_PART1 and INFOSNAP_BANNER_PART2. When defined, each of them can either point to 
  an arbitrary text string or a name of an environment variable of your choice.
 
  If it points to an arbitrary text string, the string should be prefixed with a dash '-' in order
  to be displayed verbatim instead of being interpreted as a variable (see an example below). 

  Make also sure that you have activated 'Enhance uStn title bar' in InfoSnap 'Settings 1'-tab!

  Example:

	Variable definitions:

	INFOSNAP_BANNER_PART1=-_USTN_PROJECTDESCR is:
	INFOSNAP_BANNER_PART2=_USTN_PROJECTDESCR

        Displayed result: 
        
            _USTN_PROJECTDESCR is: Untitled Project

- InfoSnap Workspaces. This is mainly for Administrators who want to partially disable InfoSnap GUI
  and enforce some, but not all, settings while still leaving some degree of freedom for users.

  The InfoSnap workspace is simply a list of GUI items, where any of them can be set to a predefined
  state/value and will be guaranteed to remain inaccessible (disabled) in InfoSnap GUI.

  Workspace is very easy to create - it is simply done by example. Just configure InfoSnap exactly
  the way you want it, open Current State Monitor and select "Create Item List..." button.

  Then open the created file in a text editor (like Notepad) and edit the first column changing 
  the number 1 (one) to 0 (zero) for each item which you want to freeze.   

  Finally, define a configuration (environment) variable INFOSNAP_ADMIN_OVERRIDES pointing to this
  file. Restart InfoSnap, and voila! The workspace is activated and enforced. 


FIXED:

- Fixed regression with a double-bump gestures for registering dialog boxes för shrinking. Now gestures 
  work again as designed.

- Fixed glitch in View Buddy - intermittently dissappearing alarm panel from the view title bar.

- Fixed a number of small visual glitches, way too boring to list them here. 


InfoSnap v2.2.7 -- 30 Nov 2009 -- RELEASE CANDIDATE
===================================================

FIXED:

- Fixed minor problems in 'Current State Monitor'. Added more info about dialog boxes.

- Fixed bug in 'Monitor AccuSnap' which often prevented displaying element info when AccuSnap 
  located an element during a fly-over.

- Fixed bug affecting AccuDraw's double key shortcuts where shortcuts were sometimes 
  prematurely terminated by InfoSnap popup. (Thanks Rob Collins-McNicholls for bringing this 
  issue to my attention) 


InfoSnap v2.2.6 -- 03 Nov 2009 -- RELEASE CANDIDATE
===================================================

FIXED:

- shrunk dialog box indicators (aka 'raisins') moved a little bit each time the dialog box was 
  unshrunk (only Dotnet dockable and only in MicroStation SELECTseries 1). 
  Thanks John Cannon for bringing this to my attention.


InfoSnap v2.2.5 -- 01 Nov 2009 -- RELEASE CANDIDATE
===================================================

FIXED:

- Fixed several issues with upcoming MicroStation SELECTseries 1 (tested on Release Candidate). 

- Fixed bug affecting visibilty of View Buddy alarm panel when located on a view title bar. 
  The bug manifested itself by invisble panel whenever the view title bar coincided with a 
  dialog box which was subsequently minimized or shrunk. Also most often noticed as mysteriously 
  disappearing View Buddy panel when moving or resizing some views.

- Fixed severe instability when ViewBuddy's slam-down trigger list opened itself immediately 
  after closing AutoMenu pop-up (usually by selecting a choice from AutoMenu whose position 
  coincided with ViewBuddy).

- Fixed bug affecting rubber-banded quick measurements (shift-cursor). In some view 
  configurations, i.e. those without clipping planes the rubber band sometimes was not visible.


CHANGED:

- Improved processing of shrunk dialog box indicators (aka 'raisins'). Previous logic allowed 
  placement outside of the edge of the screen. Now indicators are forced to always stay visible.



InfoSnap v2.2.4 -- 31 August 2009   -- BETA RELEASE 
InfoSnap v2.2.3 -- 03 July 2009     -- BETA RELEASE 
InfoSnap v2.2.2 -- 29 May 2009      -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

FIXED:

- nothing of particular importance, just a refresh of timebombed period. I'm currently working 
  on improving compatibility with MicroStation SELECTseries 1 (8.11.07.XX).
  Several issues still remain open.


InfoSnap v2.2.1 -- 30 April 2009    -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

FIXED:

- Fixed few issues when toggling between Visited Model History tree and Snap Output in popup 
  balloon ("Home"-icon): popup was not repainted completely when changing its size, it shrunk 
  by two pixels each time it was toggled. 
   
- Auto Menu could not handle some toggles (error: Unable to load/create dialog item of type 
  'PDTextMenu', id = 161 from dialog "INFOSNAP"). I rewrote the whole Auto Menu popup logic 
  and eliminated all dead meat from the output. Implemented a workaround for MicroStation
  not liking some menu item ID numbers (Thanks Robin Moran for bringing this issue to my 
  attention).


InfoSnap v2.2.0 -- 15 March 2009    -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

- nothing of importance, just a refresh of timebombed period. I ran out of time, really...


InfoSnap v2.1.9 -- 11 February 2009 -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

FIXED:

- When the DoubleBump delay was set to 0.0 seconds in Settings-1 tab, all dialogs previously 
  shrunk by IS immediately started cycling open and closed.  This continued until a non-zero 
  value for the DoubleBump delay value was entered. 
  (Thanks John Canon for reporting this bug). 
  
- Popup balloon help in Toggles list box and in Main PopUp was sometimes non readable (black 
  text on black background) in some color schemes. This is corrected now.


InfoSnap v2.1.8 -- 13 January 2009  -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

FIXED:

- More work on automatic updater logic.



InfoSnap v2.1.7 -- 01 December 2008 -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

FIXED:

- Crash when clicking on image in 'About'-tab (thanks Thomas Voghera for reporting this 
  very first bug in this Beta).



InfoSnap v2.1.6 -- 01 December 2008 -- BETA RELEASE 
===================================================

NEW STUFF:

- initial port to MicroStation V8i.

- New framework for automatic updates is now fully implemented.


FIXED:

- Crash when snapping to snappable Transients.
