                                    HISTORY
                                    =======

Version 1.1
-----------

ADDED: TCP scans can now be done using blocking or non-blocking sockets. This
       has vastly improved performance on firewalled machines using stealth.
ADDED: Improved UDP portscanning, Go Portscan! can now detect if more UDP ports
       are open
ADDED: Optional reporting of closed ports
ADDED: Optional reporting of stealthed ports
ADDED: Now supports multiple ports for searching the service table. The syntax used is
       the same as that for the port range.
ADDED: Reports the number of matches found when searching the service table.
ADDED: Delay support for traceroutes
ADDED: Delay support for ping sweeps.
ADDED: A couple more services to the service table.
ADDED: The logo now disappears automagically when required allowing a smaller
       window size.
ADDED: Use preferences option
ADDED: Save settings menu
ADDED: The delay slider now has two arrow buttons for finer control of the delay
       option with the mouse, when using a small window.
ADDED: Updated Hungarian locale. (Thanks to Marton Dosa)
ADDED: Newicon V4 dock icon, located in the contrib directory. (Thanks to Luca
       Longone)
ADDED: Go Portscan! will also look for the help file GoPortscan!.guide if it
       cannot find GoPortscan!_en.guide (or your locale equivalent)
       (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
ADDED: Preferences window is now multi-threaded and no longer blocks the main
       window when open.
FIXED: Rare and obscure bug when scanning machines with the readport option
       selected. If the remote service replied, but with a zero length response
       (yes it can happen), then the contents of the previous read port would be
       written to the log instead of an empty string.
FIXED: It is no longer possible to scan ports less than 1 or ports greater than
       65535 by entering spurious portrange syntax. (Thanks to Todd Oberly).
FIXED: If the log file couldn't be found, then Go Portscan! would stream a lot
       of error messages. It now only warns you once. (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
FIXED: When using a delay, Go Portscan! no longer delays unnecessarily at
       the end of an operation. For example, after the last port has been
       scanned. (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
CHANGED: Lots of changes to the GUI, hopefully for the better.
CHANGED: Most of the preferences are now directly handled by MUI, as a
         consequence most gadgets remember their values when the preferences are
         saved.
CHANGED: The look of the logo - smaller, simpler and IMHO looks better.
CHANGED: Bookmarks are only saved if you've actually made any changes to them.
         (Thanks to Todd Oberly)
REMOVED: AREXX support other than the default MUI AREXX commands.
REMOVED: List known services, this is no longer needed as the same can be
         achieved by entering 1-65535 on the service lookup window.

Executable size is about 18k smaller that version 1.0!

Version 1.0
-----------

ADDED: Go Portscan now makes use of BetterString for its string gadgets. This
       means easier cutting & pasting (Amiga+V, Amiga+C) and filename completion
       (Amiga+TAB) etc. (Thanks to Mike Carter)
ADDED: Updated Hungarian locale. (Thanks to Marton Dosa)
FIXED: The Hungarian locale is now correctly installed as 'magyar'.
CHANGED: A few minor changes to how Go Portscan! handles helpers.
