NETCAPTOR 7.0 FINAL RELEASE NOTES
MAY 6, 2002

WHAT'S NEW IN 7.0?

  • Full XP theme support NetCaptor UI, including icons, toolbars,loading animation, and logos.
  • Tabs now display site-specific FavIcons (optional).
  • CaptorBar now supports "auto-hide" mode. The tabs now sit sideways and can dock to either side of the screen. In auto-hide mode the CaptorBar will slide out when the cursor is over it.
  • Repositioned close, close all buttons for better usability
  • Information button address bar lets you lookup Whois, Related
  • Links, Backward links, cached pages, Anonymizer,etc. about the current page. Fully customizable. This is a nice one!
  • PopupCaptor will now flash an icon in the status bar when tab popups are closed
  • Added option to PopupCaptor to automatically close tab popups when they are launched when a tab closes (great for not getting trapped at sites that don't want you to leave).
  • Middle mouse click on links open in new window.
  • Added option to enable/disable NetCaptor user-agent setting
  • Added an automation interface for use in getting active tab url and title and in opening new tabs from URLs, CaptorGroups, and links.
  • Favorites sidebar, popup form now support auto-expanding of folders when dragging items between folders.
  • With FavIcon support turned on, tabs which are finished but not yet viewed now display the tabs FavIcon with the regular green checkbox in the bottom left corner.
  • Changed orientation CaptorBar tabs. Now, when in autohide mode, you click on a tab to slide the CaptorBar out, while activating the selected tab. Much cleaner and easier to use!
  • Toolbar Locking - right click on the main coolbar and lock the toolbar positions from the "Lock Toolbars" menu item.
  • CTRL + D now brings up "Add to Favorites" dialog
  • CTRL + SHIFT + D now toggles the data-entry mode setting
  • Tray icon now minimizes, restores on a single click instead of requiring a double-click
  • PopupCaptor URL matches are now case-insensitive
  • Added a button that sorts the list view used by QuickSearch,
  • Aliases, Address Tools, Translators, Search Engines, Search Bar.
  • Added additional control character for use with Url Blocking and PopupCaptor. Generally, both assume a trailing *, so they can't be used to match against the "end" of a string. By appending a "$" character, they will match against strings which end with the specified pattern. To block al GIF images, you would specify *.gif$.
  • Tooltip hints now display drop-shadow in XP
  • Added option to use flat browser borders (on by default). Turn this option off to use the "fat" borders as found in IE.
  • Added "Explore Data Folder" item to File Menu. This lets you explore the directory (it can be hard to find) where NetCaptor stores your option data
  • Added horizontal scrollbar (when necessary) to Url Blocking and PopupCaptor lists
  • Added "New Folder" to Favorites tab on CaptorBar
  • Added "Privacy Settings..." menu item to Security Menu. IE6 "breaks" the older Cookies/Session cookies handling, and newer method is not documented so we just pop the Privacy tab on IE options.
  • Added "Privacy Report..." menu item to Security Menu (only IE6)
  • Added "NetCaptor Application" as EXE description to assist some firewalls in identifying NetCaptor to users.


FIXES (FROM RC2)
  • Fixed toolbar positioning code relating to "locked toolbars"
