New stuff's at the bottom.  This list isn't necessarily comprehensive.


2.00:

 o A whole new look for FM/2 -- the same thing, only more so.  Some
   things were enhanced, some dropped, some replaced or superceded.
   Still, if you used 1.x you should feel at home.

[lazy bum skipped a few...]

2.06:

 o In the Collector's Seek-and-scan dialog, the All HDs button now skips
   removable drives (like CD-ROMs) for convenience.
 o Quick tree works around the OS/2 DosFindFirst bug that prevents FAT
   root drives from being found.
 o Added "separator" attribute for tool buttons -- causes a small amount
   of space to be added after the button with the attribute, for
   appearance (grouping of buttons).
 o Added ability to turn on titles below bitmap buttons in toolbar (it'll
   have to be short and sweet) and grouped all toolbar toggles under a
   Toolbar conditional cascade submenu.

2.07:

 o Added "View Bookshelf" and "View Helpfiles" utilities.
 o Fixed bug in Quick Tree added while fixing the last one...
 o VTree now saves its size and position on desktop (Ron Gawer wanted
   that).  VDir doesn't, as you can have several of them open at once
   and it would be somewhat irritating to have them all on top of each
   other.

2.08:

 o Added "must have" attributes to Filter.
 o Fixed Undelete dialog so selecting a new drive from the combobox
   causes the listbox to be refreshed for that drive, and so a missing
   DELETE environment variable for the selected drive doesn't cause the
   dialog to abort unless you select Cancel in the information box (so
   you can pick a different drive).
 o Added limited optional logging for some simple but critical
   operations (copy, move, rename, delete).
 o Documented "start minimized" command line argument.
 o Added "don't save/restore state of dir windows this time" command
   line argument.

2.09:

 o Changed things so the little notification box doesn't steal the
   focus when it comes up.  Duh.
 o Added "Backup Profile", "Change System Profiles" and "Replace System
   Profiles" to the INI viewer.
 o Fixed some glitches in new mask "must have" attribute processing.
 o Found and fixed bug in Collector's Seek & Scan that could cause FM/2
   to trap.
 o Added a Settings notebook containing global toggles and such.
   Slower than the menus, but Ron Hester asked for it, and I allus do
   what Ron says...
 o Return of the weirding ... but that'd be telling.
 o Added optional split status line.

2.10:

 o Added Undo buttons to Settings notebook pages.
 o Fixed bug wherein Save state of dir windows toggle was ignored.
 o Put in some comma formatting to prevent an untimely death.
 o Fixed bug wherein Doubleclick Opens toggle was ignored.
 o Added a couple more Settings pages.
 o Made appropriate Settings pages available to standalone modules.
 o Tweaked a few menus for a more consistent appearance.

2.11:

 o Fixed odd bug in second status line in Directory Containers.
 o Fixed rename buglet that caused rename from menu/button to
   give funny default drive.
 o Added drag and drop to INI Viewer to allow moving and copying
   data between different INI files.
 o Added FM2PLAY.EXE to allow playing multimedia files (via MMPM/2)
   from FM/2 easily.  Usage:  FM2PLAY.EXE <file> [<file> <file...>].
   There's a menu item for it.
 o Added "associat.txt" containing recommended associations for use
   with FM/2.  Please send your ideas for this list.
 o Enhanced the Bookshelf Viewer.

2.12:

 o AV/2 will now ignore an association if it contains the string
   "AV2.EXE" in the command line (meaning it might call itself).
 o Fixed "Lowercase name" bug.
 o Worked over the context menus again, added a couple more
   accelerator keys.
 o Hooked Help button in Child Window dialog to some help.

2.13:

 o Added ability to set type of selection used in some containers (in
   the Settings Notebook on the "Windows" page).
 o Selecting "Settings Notebook" in the FM3.EXE monolithic app, even
   from container context menus, will always bring up a full settings
   notebook.
 o Slightly reduced memory usage for HPFS drives (ah, another reason
   to use HPFS...).
 o Fixed bug in SetIcon.
 o Did some more work on FM2PLAY.EXE to make it more eye-appealing and
   maybe a bit more functional.
 o Shortened tasklist title for registered users.

2.14:

 o FM/2 will now detect that a CD-ROM drive which didn't have a disk in
   it or had a music disk in it when FM/2 was started is a CD-ROM drive
   when accessed later with a data disk in it, and change the icon
   accordingly.  This also applies to hard drives that were locked when
   FM/2 started, by happy coincidence, and should work on other
   removable media drives.
 o Hints given in error popup for some access errors (for example, when
   clicking on an empty diskette drive).
 o Install.cmd will not change the parameters field of objects that it
   creates if the File Manager/2 folder already existed.  It will still
   update the paths.
 o VTree honors drive exclusions like it should have in the first place.
 o VTree will delete a directory if the Shredder refuses for some reason.
 o Added VTree->WPS folder toggle.
 o Shortened VTree tasklist title for registered users.
 o FM/2 will attempt to fit smaller files onto diskettes when a larger
   file in the list to be moved/copied won't fit before prompting you to
   change diskettes due to a disk full condition.
 o Help for toolbar buttons shows up when mouse passes over them --
   figured out how to implement without excessive message passing (IOW,
   to my satisfaction).

2.15:

 o Added "Collect list in file(s)" command.
 o Added "Collect from a list file" command.
 o Added "Select List" command.
 o System VIO fonts have been renamed, jumping between "System" and
   "System VIO", a couple of times now.  To top it off, when the name
   changes, the sizes do, too (i.e. 7.System == 5.System VIO, more or
   less).  Warp is now GA and uses "System VIO" again, so I've changed
   it back to that.  If some fonts don't look right on your 2.11 system,
   I'm sorry, but I'm trying to hit a moving target.  Don't shoot me,
   I'm just the piano player.
 o Did some other stuff, but forgot to write it down and have now
   forgotten what it was.  Old age is hell.

2.16:

 o Added "Update objects" command.
 o Added "Optimize" command.  Be sure to read the online help on this
   one (under "Context Menus").
 o Added toolbar changing buttons (buttons that automatically load a
   new toolbox into the toolbar).  See comments in online help under
   "Toolbar->Add Tool."
 o Hmmm...Warp has broken the DM_DROPHELP message within an application
   -- the passed DRAGINFO structure is inaccessible (apparently already
   deallocated).  An appropriate error message will be displayed, and
   the code's still there so that when IBM fixes it it'll automagically
   start working again.

2.17:

 o Optimized for speed:  Quick trees, tree sizes.
 o Dug the names of the new color palettes out of Warp's INI files.
   Under 2.x both color palette commands (one new) load the same object.
   Under Warp they load the two different palette objects available.
 o Added swapfile/memory watch when Drive Tree is active window in FM/2.
 o Added HPFSOPT.EXE program to optimize HPFS drives.

2.18:

 o Added ability to use the undocumented DosQProcStat API in the Process
   Killer.  While this will enable the Process Killer to work without an
   English version of PSTAT.EXE being present, DosQProcStat is an API
   subject to change by IBM, so beware.
 o Added FATOPT.EXE program to optimize FAT drives.  THIS IS A BETA
   PROGRAM AND USES LOW-LEVEL DRIVE ACCESS -- BACK UP BEFORE USING!
 o Tweaked the online help, adding more hypertext links and detail.

2.19:

 o Added "Ideal size" System Menu command and titlebar button -- an
   alternative to maximizing.
 o More work on help file hypertext links using suggestions from a
   registered user.  Added a labelled bitmap showing the layout of FM/2
   windows.
 o Worked around weird bugs in Sizes and deleting toolbar buttons that
   shouldn't be bugs but nonetheless cause problems on some machines.
 o Added some one-line help fields to some dialogs to guide the user
   along.
 o Added the "Close" checkbox to the Edit Associations dialog, to allow
   executing an association to shut down FM/2 (or a VDir window, mainly
   for use by folks using FM/2 to replace the Drives objects).
 o Added "Start Minimized" and "Start Maximized" buttons to the Windows
   page of the Settings notebook.  FM/2 starts normal size then adjusts
   (that lets it size all its windows right first, and gives you something
   to return to from the maximized state).

2.20:

 o Fixed stupid bug that made FM/2 freak out on restart if you turned the
   toolbar off and left it off (duh).
 o Move-drag onto archives allowed now (if you have the archiver for that
   archive type configured to allow moving files, of course).
 o Fixed bug in longname<->shortname conversion (FAT<->HPFS).
 o Found a nasty way to get Warp's printer objects to recognize FM/2's
   D&D.
 o Extract dialog can be told to remember its settings (extract directory,
   masks, "with directories") distinctly from those set in Archive
   Containers.
 o Added a few pictures to the online help for extreme novices.
 o Added new "Compare Select" submenu with commands that can make
   selections based on comparing unfiltered files in all open Directory
   Containers.  Powerful stuff.
 o Added "Hide objects" command (selective individual object filtering).
 o Fixed bug -- drag to toolbar quit working when toolbar code rewritten.
 o Slight modification to ARCHIVER.BB2 -- -1 for filename position means
   to use the last "field" of an archive listing for the filename.
 o FM/2 is compiled with optimization turned off now -- caught it
   generating bad code in the new Compare Select module and don't trust
   it (again).
