InterMapper Remote (tm) 1.0.1 Release Notes - 21 March 2002

There is now an application-wide Font cache

Changed the way things work when the app is starting up to improve the startup time

We used to cut debug log lines off at 255 chars, but there was a bug in the trimming code, so we no longer bother limiting the lines

Fixed a bug in the Logout action code that would throw a NullPointerException (NPE)

Fixed some bugs that occured upons an attempt to open a saved map

NFR serial numbers will now only display a yellow window at startup, instead of every hour

Fixed a minor bug in the Ants drawing code and implemented some caching that should increase efficiency

Fixed a bug that would cause an NPE if the connection timed-out while waiting for user input for authentication

Fixed the bug that could cause InterMapper Remote to take several minutes to start on some Windows machines

A map name that included a backslash ('\') could have unpredictable results including crashing InterMapper Remote

This was due to '\' being incorrectly seen as an escape char in the underlying code that parses the protocol

We now correctly catch and handle for "No route to host" errors in the SLP code

Fixed an IMML edge case

Some text was being clipped incorrectly, losing the last character or two. The fix may cause maps to 'blink' when loading.
