HISTORY.TXT        PurgeIE - Version Information



Version 4.03 - 09/17/2001 -


    The primary enhancement includes a new display within the
    'Protect' window.  For a selected URL, this displays the domain
    from the URL and displays the Security Zone that I.E. would
    associate with the URL.  For IE-6 systems, the 'per-site'
    Cookie setting is displayed.

    Associated with the new displays are convenient functions for
    adding, changing and deleting these Security Zone assignments
    and for IE-6, the Cookie settings.

    The purpose of the above implementation is to give you tools
    to help you manage Cookies for your system.

    Added a 'Controlling Cookies' section to Help File.

    Added a 'Troubleshooting' section to Help File.

    Implemented a warning to call attention to conflicts with
    Purging while an Internet Explorer window is active.

    Implemented a more efficient 'install' program to generate
    smaller download modules.


Version 4.02 - 05/14/2001 -

    Implemented support for IE-6 and for Win-XP.


Version 4.01 - 10/18/2000 -

    Implemented an automatic viewer for Cookie contents within the
    display function of the Protect window.

    Modified both the "Filter" and the "Find" functions to base
    their tests on the contents of the Cookie files when
    displaying Cookies.

    This provides the capability for searching through one's
    Cookies for particular content such as the one's own name.

    Implemented an option for specifying the column to use for
    sorting the displayed items on the Protect window.

    Implemented a configuration option to disable hints for the
    Window buttons, etc..

    Added support for the 'Delete' key for deleting Cookies, etc..

    The purge for Windows Temp files has been improved by
    performing additional tests to verify that the System pointer
    to the folder is correct.  The indicated Windows Temp File
    folder is verified to be named "temp".

    This is to guard against the situation in which one's System
    pointer has been modified to refer to a non-temporary folder.

    Sub-folders under the Windows Temp File folder are still
    included in this purge function.


Version 3.02 - 06/07/2000 -

    Implemented an option for "Recycle Bin" - selecting this
    option will empty the Windows Recycle Bin.

    Revised terminology for 'Subscription' to 'Offline Viewing'
    for Cache.

    Implemented an 'Execute at Startup' option.

    Implemented a Configuration Window for setting display options
    for the 'Startup' execution, etc..  PurgeIE can now be
    executed in stealth mode by disabling the display options.


Version 3.01 - 12/27/1999 -

    Implemented an option "Clear Previous Searches" - selecting
    this option will delete the "Previous Searches" data from the
    Windows Registry.  These are entries retained when one uses
    the IE-5 Search function.  This function is only available for
    IE-5, or higher.

    Implemented an option "Clear AutoComplete Forms via I.E." -
    selecting this option will bring up the Internet Explorers
    Properties Panel and simulate selecting the Content tab,
    selecting the "AutoComplete" button and pressing its "Clear
    Forms" button.  After a successful execution, the I.E. Panel
    is closed.  This function is only available for IE-5, or
    higher.

    Implemented a new function "Copy Display to ClipBoard" as an
    aid in troubleshooting.

    Implemented a new function "Create Shortcuts" for creating
    PurgeIE shortcuts on the Desktop.


Version 2.05 - 08/12/1999 -

    Modified registration routines to resolve problems associated
    with generated User ID Codes.


Version 2.04 - 07/19/1999 -

    Converted 'ListBox' control to 'ListView' for the Message
    display.  This was done to resolve problems with running out
    of Windows Resources which had caused Windows failures.  It
    was determined that a Windows Listbox makes extensive use of
    Windows Resources.

    Implemented program logic to identify problems with corrupt
    Index.dat files.  This had resulted in a program loop.

    Implemented an option to delete I.E. Folders across a Reboot.
    This is for Emergency use to delete corrupted folders.  The
    Reboot is necessary to avoid the file locking problems.


Version 2.03 - 06/23/1999 -

    Implemented a new option "Clear History via I.E." - selecting
    this option will bring up the Internet Explorers Properties
    (Options) Panel and simulate pressing its "Clear History"
    button. After a successful execution, the I.E. Panel is
    closed.

    The "Clear History via I.E." option was implemented to provide
    a means for deleting History information for the systems that
    prevented deletion by keeping the History files 'Locked'.
    Internet Explorer 4.0 running on Win-98 systems keeps the
    current History folder locked once I.E. is started. Other
    systems use Locking of these folders to some degree.

    Implemented a modification to allow CDF files to delete if
    Time since last access for Offline (or Subscription) Cache is
    all zeroes.


Version 2.02 - 04/28/1999 -

    Implemented an option to Purge Windows Temporary Files.

    Added an option to the "Protect Window" to limit the display
    to records containing a user-specified character string.  This
    is to facilitate selection of Cookies, etc., for protection.

    Moved Status Messages to bottom of screens.

    Corrected error in Statistics function for FAT32 disk
    partitions.  System was deriving incorrect cluster sizes which
    caused the values for allocated disk space to be too high for
    Cookies and for Cache.

    Reduce initial size of windows to accommodate the Win95
    Taskbar for 640x480 displays.  The window sizes and positions
    will be retained at shutdown as has been done in the previous
    versions.

    Shortened the path to Online Registration.


Version 2.01 - 03/28/1999 -

    Modify documentation re support of Internet Explorer 5.0 as
    well as Beta 5.0.

    Implement a Statistics function to list disk space used by
    Cache and Cookies.

    Implement an option for One-Step execution.  Add an Icon to
    the Distribution package for this - "Purge with Current
    Options".


Version 1.01 - 02/25/1999 -

    Initial Production Release.
