Prog Bar History

v1.00 - 13th December 1996

  • Only worked with Dice C.

v1.01 - 11th January 1997

Additional Features.

  • Added support for registerised argument passing.

v1.03 - 20th July 1997

Additional Features.

  • Introduction of the Prog_Bar Support Web Page.
  • Added version string.
  • Added extra validation. It is no longer possible to create a bar which has a logical size of zero. If you try you will get a bar with a size of one.
  • Documentation updated.

Bug fixes.

  • Bars with a value of zero were previously displayed as one pixel in size. Now they will be completely empty.
  • The text no longer disappears if it is taller/wider than the progress bar, unless it is centred.
  • Improved rendering of small progress bars. Weird things no longer happen if the progress bar is too small.

v1.04 - 10th October 1997

Bug fixes.

  • Rearranged the prog_bar structure to achieve word alignment. This allows Prog_Bar to be used on a 68000 based machine.
