NetWebClient  Added a new Advanced Posting - URL Encoding, Multi-Part forms, posting binary data (files) and more! section to the documentation. This covers posting form data, as well as posting files to web servers (including the NetTalk 4 webserver). It covers both types of posting, as well as how to create MIME boundaries and parts etc.

2)

NetWebServer Change: On a Form on the Date type. The option to Refresh Window When Date Changed has been deprecated. You should use the Client-Side tab instead.

Add: Buttons on a form support "client-side" updates. Add: Support for editing HTML on a form using the TinyMCE editor. (See HTML checkbox for Text fields). Add: Escape method. Add: Implemented MaxLength attribute for form fields. Add: Pages are now more compliant with XHTML spec. (ie XHTML DocType) NOTE: Style names (CSS names) are now Case Sensitive. Add: Implemented Green-baring on drop-down form fields. TIP: Note that drop-down form fields have a HEIGHT option. If this is set then the drop-down appears as a single-column list box. Add: Fixed Pitch as a common browse column style. Add: Support for multiple form fields on the same row on a form. Add: Form type "Wizard". Add: Ability to hide, and unhide, form fields based on other form field values. Add: Hot Fields to Form field type "Drop". Add: Support for Multiple option in Select lists.

Version 4.18 (Beta) (19 Dec 2006)

1)	General Fix: Derived NetTalk methods had RETURN statement being generated below the Procedure Routines.
2)	NetWebServer My thanks go to Jens Eden, Marius Røksund and Ubaidullah Nubar who assisted tremendously with suggestions, and bug reports during the creation of this build. Thanks to my regular testing team remain, as always, a key part of making sure the WebServer functionality continues to grow at a fast pace. Feature: Explicit support for mail & link buttons in browse, and on form. (See new example 29) Feature: Implemented static-page-pre-compression support. Feature: Added option to combine all common js and css files. (Means faster load time for first page.) Feature: Added "Session Timeout" as a template option - WebServer procedure / Settings / Advanced tab. Feature: Added Hyperlink-to-Form ability to browse columns. (See Example 30) Feature: Added options on Form Layout tab to explicitly set form column widths. Feature: Added option to Browse template to allow explicit setting of browse column width. Feature: Added support for Timer to browse. Feature: Added Horizontal Rule as an option for Form Field Display type. (tip:set equate to something like sep1) Feature: Added "Text" as an option for Form Field Display type. Feature: Added ability to span prompt/value/comment columns with Display field. Feature: Added Charset as advanced option on WebServer procedure extension template. Feature: Added PDF as Page Type option on NetWebPage. Feature: New example 33 shows how to make a browse filtered by a related file drop-down. Feature: Added "Must be logged in" and "Must be secure page" options to NetWebGraph extension. Feature: Added "IF" option to Required fields on a form. Change: Ajax turned on for Safari users. Change: Some pre-defined browse column styles supported directly by template. (RightJustify et al.) Change: Hyperlink properties for a browse column moved to new HyperLink tab Change: Select buttons suppressed on child browses. Change: Cancel & Close buttons suppressed on child browses.

Change: File uploading now stores the short path to the uploaded file in the form field (after the form is submitted.) If the upload field is empty (ie nothing uploaded) then the existing file:field is not cleared. (See example 26) Change: If a person enters a value into a lookup field, and presses Tab, then the focus skips over the lookup button and goes to the next input field. Change: Uses TotalStyle, or BrowseFooterStyle in blank footer cells on browses. Fix: Allowed lookups, from forms, to include child browse, which include the form file.

Version 4.17 (Beta) (24 October 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Important: These changes may affect your program and stop it from compiling Change: button.text field changed to button.textvalue to avoid clash with Clarions XML classes. If you get a compile error on a line like p_web.SaveButton.Text = 'Login' then change this to p_web.SaveButton.TextValue = 'Login'   The Javascript (JS) and Style (CSS) files have been changed. Some Images (PNG etc) have been added. Copy these from \Clarion6\3rdparty\LibSrc\NetWeb\Web folder into your Web folder.   The CSS Buttons classes have been consolidated somewhat. For your buttons I recommend using MainButton class for most buttons, use SmallButton for the SmallInsert etc and LookupButton class for the Lookup, and DateLookup buttons. The following changes should not affect your existing program. Feature: Added Children tab to Browse settings. See new Examples 25 & 31. Feature: Horizontal layout of Radio Buttons Feature: Files submitted via the "File Upload" form field type are saved in the "web\uploads" folder. See new Example 26. Feature: Autonumbering on Insert, now (if there are child browses) does the ADD and jumps into CHANGE mode. As long as the user "Cancels" or "Saves" you're ok. However garbage collection recommended. Feature: New tab style added - "XP-Tabs" Feature: New tab style added - "None" Feature: New Menu style added - XP-TaskPanel. See new Example 27. Feature: (some) Submit buttons change to Disabled after being clicked. Feature: "Protocol" option added to NetWebPage. HTML (default) and XML protocols available. See new Example 29. Feature: Added ability to override the Sort field for Server-Side sorting. Feature: Added ability to set height of Accordion on Menu, and Form templates. Style Sheet tab. Feature: Filters tab added to Browse settings, includes Ranges and Conditional filters. Feature: Display fields on forms can now have buttons, images and hyperlinks Feature: Added optional button to Locator Feature: Added ability to position Search button before View button on browses in Lookup mode. Feature: Added loc:action to form to be (optionally) used in header. Change: Renamed ImageWidth and ImageHeight members of NetWebButtonGroup to avoid clash with Clarion previewer. Change: On a browse, if the "Message if Empty" is blank, then the whole table is not sent. Change: Better support for IE7 (distinct from IE6) Change: If browse has a Change button visible, then the View button is suppressed. Fix: Bug in style (netweb.css) which caused Menu to appear slightly lower, and right, of where expected. Fix: Bug setting Field Equate when field is not a field in the dictionary. Fix: Bug setting duplicate field in Browse prop:order, when using MsSQL Fix: Browse buttons that stopped working, if the browse was inside a form, and the browse had been refreshed after a form-field change. Fix: Browse back-filled if Locator type is Position. Fix: Corrected generation of Formtype=multipart Fix: When doing a chained-login the whole URL is now preserved. Fix: Resetting fields when a 'date' field is completed wasn't working. Fix: When chaining through an unexpected Login form, in a Frame situation, the Target of the Login button could be set incorrectly. Fix: Returning to multi-tab field after lookup returns to the correct tab. Fix: Cancel buttons on lookups didn't always return to the Form correctly. Fix: Browses without a header, or footer, suppress the <thead> and/or <tfoot> tags. Fix: Reset field when date changed was not working. Fix: Cookies not being set in IE correctly if it expires on a Friday, or Saturday. (Thanks Jono). Fix: Fields primed on insert were being forgotten if a Lookup was done. Fix Search, Cancel, Next, Previous, First, Last buttons all use the Button Position settings. Docs: Added a new section called Using Browses And Forms on Static Pages to docs.

2)

Email Receive Fixed a bug with incoming partial packets. Specifically failed when working against a Dovecot server.

Version 4.16 (Beta) (13 Sept 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Acknowledgements: This build would not have been possible without the dedicated effort of a small group of alpha-testers. My thanks go to Chris Cordes, Bram Klootwijk, Marius Røksund, Johan de Klerk, Richard Lee, Wolfgang Orth and Patrick De Laet. If your update is smooth it will be thanks to them, if not, it will be my fault. Important: These changes may affect your program and stop it from compiling >> In the NetWebSource procedures the SendString routine has been renamed to SendPacket. This brings it in line with the other templates. If you have hand-coded any calls to do SendString then you will get a compile Error "Routine not Defined". Make a note of the module, go to that module, and edit your hand-code.    >> A number of Properties of the WebHandler class have changed. If you have used properties in hand-code, or in template fields, then you may get errors. For most of the WebHandler properties, the change is the addition of the word .SITE in the name. For example p_web.allowajax has changed to p_web.site.allowajax Button text has an additional change, there's now a dot ( . ) between button and text. So p_web.savebuttontext changes to p_web.site.savebutton.text   >> In an effort to disconnect the WebServer class and the WebHandler class the use of p_web.RequestData.WebServer.property or p_web.RequestData.WebServer.method is being discouraged. Where methods in the web server are useful we've added the method to the NetWebHandler class. For example p_web.RequestData.WebServer.AddStyle becomes p_web.AddStyle Where properties are being used those properties have been added to the site group. For example p_web.RequestDdata.WebServer.DatePicture becomes p_web.Site.DatePicture The following changes should not affect your existing program. Implemented new tag of the form <!-- Net:f:filename.ext --> where filename.ext is the name of a (text) file. This "includes" the specified file at that spot in the HTML page. When parsing static, or dynamic pages, the <!-- NetWebServer --> tag is removed from the page Site-Wide buttons support added. You can control button look from the WebServer procedure, Settings, Buttons tab. Added "File Upload" as entry type for Forms. NetWebSource procedures/tags can now be refreshed asynchronously from a timer. HtmlCharset is now a property of the web server. Defaults to ISO-8859-1. InitForm routine added to the generated form code. This allows for default UpdateFile, UpdateKey and KeyField parameters to be set in the form, and thus not passed by the link. See FAQ, W4 for changes. Routines generated for all the form "cells" (ie all prompts, values and comments). This allows all cells to be updated asynchronously, triggered by the completion of any field on the form. Parameters can be passed to Browses-Embedded-on-Forms (passed via the Value Queue). Refresh Window when Date Changed is obsolete, and removed. Use "Reset fields" instead. Date Lookup button uses standard Lookup button settings. Ability to "reset" one field on a form when another is changed has been implemented. Especially useful for Dropdowns. Dropdowns now have an "Order" field, so you can override the default order. Dropdowns support INNER Joining on a "Linking" File. Checkboxes on a form are no longer added to the Form as a HIDDEN field (to hold the False Value). The False value is set in the ValidateUpdate routine. Lookups now display the "description" field in the comments column (if it's blank). If the user types in a code the description is updated automatically. TIP: If (in the dictionary) there's a key on the Description field in the lookup file, and the user types a Description into the code field, then the entry field, and comment fields are both updated. Browses are "back-filled" by default. Embedded HTML now defaults position if entered incorrectly. Browses disable First / Previous / Next / Last buttons. Added .LoginChanged method to NetWebHandler so there's a convenient embed point in the WebHandler procedure when a person logs in, or out. Added DeleteSessionValue, and DeleteSession methods to NetWebWorker class. If user has to be logged on to see a page, and hence is redirected to the Login page, then when pressing "Login" it now "chains" to original request (rather than going to the default first page). Changed the CallForm generated procedure so that the URL is checked before the File handle when deciding which form to call. This allows for multiple Form procedures on the same File. Form template layout simplified, and "flattened". After doing an Insert or Update, the file fields are copied into the Value queue. This allows for fields set by a trigger (in the ABC code, for example an AutoNumber) to be used by subsequent procedures in the thread. Hidden field "LookupFrom" has been changed to "FromForm" Changed some equates in netweb.inc (the Form Stage equates) so they are all on their own "bit". Should have no impact on existing apps, unless you were depending on the value of the equate. Server-side validation on form fields (REQ, Numeric etc) is only performed if the Field was visible to the user. Corrected some internal code generating a double ?? when using some tags. Corrected Browse bug where Next / Previous didn't work if sort column were all the same value. Added URL support for conditional images in a browse. Updated the explanation of Tags in the docs. The documentation for Reports has been expanded considerably. Fixed bug if Column Headings were turned off, and Sorting was set to "Server" or "Client". Example 7 updated to show using Cookies to store the login & password in the browser. Extended Examples 13 and 14 to show using an existing report that has "options" on the screen, and a "Pause" button. Example 14 corrected to fix  some weird header formatting. Example 23 added which shows how to do a browse on one table, but go to a form on a related table. (1-to-1 style relationship). Example 24 added showing how to chain from one form to another.

NetWebClient An automatic re-direct now happens with a POST as well as with a FETCH.

Version 4.15 (Beta) (17 July 2006)

1)

NetWebServer The Open Files code in NetWebBrowse has been moved higher in the code so that you can include file fields in column headers etc. Added optional routines for opening, closing, saving and restoring files in NetWebSource and NetWebPage procedures. Note that the Routines are generated (and called) in NetWebPage, and are generated, but not called in NetWebSource. Translate Tab added to WebServer extension, Settings tab. Use this to change text for whole site. Incorrect generate of %FormFieldTrue (for checkboxes on form) corrected. Added new function to JavaScript file (NetWeb.Js) to automatically fix the transparent PNG bug in IE 5.5 and IE 6. Script was found by Carlos Gutiérrez (thanks Carlos.) Original script and explanation can be found here. FAQ, W21 NOTE: To make use of this new script file copy it from one of the shipping examples to your \web\scripts folder. The syntax for calling a form directly from a browse has been changed slightly. The FAQ, question W4 has been updated to reflect the new syntax. Corrected template bug with generating Radio buttons "checked" attribute. Fixed incorrect handling of key fields containing the word "GUID". If you are using Replicate GUID fields (or other Guid fields containing binary string data) then you must put the name in the webServer property _BinaryGuid. For example: ThisWebServer._BinaryGuid = 'guid' Added CreateButton method to class to make code cleaner. Added class (in CSS) for Lookup Buttons - default is LookupButton. Added "More Assignments" button when doing a lookup (see FAQ, W21) Added support for @D2 dates on Forms. See Basics doc for more info. NOTE The Calendar2.js script has been updated, Calendar1,js and Calendar3,js have been deprecated, and Calendar6.js has been added. Be sure to copy these into your application's web folder. If you get a Compile Error in your WebServer procedure, then go to the NetTalk Extension in the WebServer procedure, and reset the Date Picture to either dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy. In Forms moved the call to StoreMem routine to the "Pre" calls to the form. This prevents "loc variables" (stored in the session queue) being overridden on return from a lookup or elsewhere. Added support for NetWeb Procedures in other apps in a Multi-Dll situation. See Basics Doc, Multi-DLL section  for details. Fixed support for Relational updates & Deletes. On Browses the Unique, Unchanging Key field has moved from the Form tab to the General tab. This is because this key is used when the browse is used as a Lookup. Fixed bug where View button (under browse) was not visible when Browse in lookup mode. Browse in Form seems to be working pretty much 100% now. For now I don't recommend having more than 1 browse on a form, if the browses are page loaded.

2)

Changed the FTP control template to use the specified progress control, rather than always using ?progress.

Version 4.14 (Beta) (29 May 2006)

1)

NetWebServer The introduction of cookies, and especially the Session cookie, has meant that some of the old ways of doing a logout (by deliberately resetting the Session) will no longer work. Question W17 has been added to the FAQ, and examples 3 and 4 have been updated to reflect the new, complete, logout techniques you can use.

Version 4.13 (Beta) (26 May 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Suppressed Windows style menu bar if person is not logged in, and all menu's require person to be logged in. Added code to handle reports where there are no records. See example 13. Fixed problem with OnLoads on NetWebPage Allowed Style to be set on individual Row Buttons in a browse Added Target to Cancel button URL Added Target to Browse Row buttons Fixed case where ProcessLink overridden in Webhandler leads to blank parameter. Fixed descending numeric sorts on browses Automatic detection of numeric browse columns leads to case sensitive sort. Now generates Cancel code on lookup if Cancel button exists, even if Select button doesn't exist. Clicking Cancel on lookup now returns to correct form. Fixed problem where special buttons did not work if they had no text. Fixed browse refresh when first record is added Fixed browse refresh when last record is deleted If a locator field exists, then it gets focus on the browse. Fixed Focus selection on Forms. Added support for cookies (see Basics doc) Added a checkbox so that HTML can be included in browse columns (if desired.) Fixed problem where form returned to home-page missing http:// part of URL. Fixed bug with Browse that only has VIEW button, not Insert/Change/Delete. Added ability to override message "no records" on reports. Clicking LAST on page loaded browse with less than 1 page of data, now displays the data not "no records found". Added "Close" button option to Browse. Added "Select Item" example (19) Added "Multi-DLL" example (20)

Version 4.12 (Beta) (2 May 2006)

1)	NetFTP control templates Fixed problem where template was expecting a pActive parameter as the seventh parameter. Older procedures didn't have this parameter, and so a compile error resulted.

Version 4.11 (Beta) (21 April 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Changed browse position when returning from form. It now returns to the browse as it was before going to the form, rather than starting the browse page from the record just changed. Fixed sort order getting lost when returning from Form. Browse Locators on date columns now works. Fixed URL generation on Auto-Lookups. Added support for apps that don't have "Defer Opening Files Until Accessed" turned on. Tip: Turn on this switch if you can, otherwise performance may suffer. Fixed PDF reports in Firefox browser Fixed problem where locator was attached to no browse field . Fixed problem where Last then Previous triggered "no records" When sort orders change, Locator is cleared Fixed a bug with Previous going back x-1 instead of x records.

Notes: In 4.10 the behavior of the "read-only" checkbox, for Forms, for Dates and Lookups has changed. The Read-Only box now means that the field is Read-only and cannot be changed, either via typing, or by a lookup button. If you want the previous behavior (where the user could only change by using the lookup) then tick the new option "Force user to use lookup". Remember to un-check the Read-Only box.

Version 4.10 (Beta) (12 April 2006)

1)

NetEmailReceive Fixed an issue where an email with a single base64 encoded attachment could be missing up to the last 5 characters.

2)

NetWebServer Fixed bug where large white space could be sent if first item in HTML packet was a tag. Fixed bug with Totaling where the column contained formatting. Fixed bug with packet length when picture used in column header (could affect next/prev buttons and sort orders.) Fixed possible GPF with badly formed "direct to form" link. Fixed regression with Server-side sorting Fixed some bugs in the examples. added 'jump straight to lookup' option on forms. added "Auto lookup on Insert" option on form fields.

Version 4.09 (Beta) (05 April 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Removed AUTO attribute that caused a problem in C5.5 Tweaked the template & class so that if the user is not logged in, but links to a page that requires a login, then it automatically redirects to the login page. Added key fields to view of Browse Added additional HTML embed points Added support for 'Other' buttons in Browse Fixed problem with 'next' button when Browse has no Form. Changed Browse to use POSITION instead of key fields. More accurate paging on SQL Views. Added URL option to browse columns. Embeds of HTML 'after heading' and 'after sub heading' work even if headings are blank. Sort parameter changed from 'Sort' to 'procedure_Sort' so that browses can be chained together. Added "Display" as a field option for forms. If date field is set to 'Read Only' then lookup button is suppressed. Fixed application of button conditions if Insert/Change/Delete/View buttons not "in row". Fixed bug when there was a pipe ( | ) in the external field name. Added Example 13 and Example 14 (PDF reports) Added 'Browse' as Form Field type. [ work in progress ]

2)

FTP functions The synchronous functions FtpUpload and FtpDownload functions now have an extra (optional) parameter that can specify to use Active or Passive mode. See 3rdParty\Examples\NetTalk\FTP Template for updated examples.

Version 4.08 (Beta) (24 Mar 2006)

1)

NetWebServer Fixed issue where IDE could GPF if there was a Drop-Down list box on a form, and you did a right-click source in the App tree. Reactivated the Drop-down filter field which had gotton itself disabled. Asynchronous browses re-instated "Unique Key Name" now stored, and enforced. Added support for Multi-Proj Fixed a couple of template bugs in multi-records-on-one-row View-Only forms have a "close" button not a "Cancel" button View button added to Insert/Change/Delete above or below browse. Changed prompt for lookup page from "Page" to "URL" for consistency sake. Header & Footer of empty browses suppressed. Fixed priming of drop-down value where value was a prefix, or suffix value.

Gmail uses this option on port 465. self.SecureEmailStartTLS - This setting will use the STARTTLS option which switches to SSL after performing a non-secure connection but before username/password or email contents are sent.
5)	Added multiple IP and/or multiple Network Interface Card (NIC) support to NetAuto. This now means that the Auto Detection sends a broadcast for each subnet and results in NetAuto working on machines with multiple IP or multiple NICs.
6)	Added multiple Network Interface Card (NIC) support to NetGetIPList()
7)	Changed almost all the ulongs to longs which gives a speed improvement across all objects. Which can yield speed improvements of up to 20%. (The only method to have changed is NetEmailSend.CalcEmailName which we don't think anyone will be deriving, as derived code will now be orphaned. There were a few other methods that use ulongs, but these were not changed, as people may be deriving them.)
8)	New LinkPoint (Credit Card Processing) Example. Requires a LinkPoint account (or a trial one), a LinkPoint Certificate (real or trial) and CapeSoft's xFiles.
9)	Improved Error Number Reporting in NetSimple. Now there's self.Error (the NetSimple Error), self.WinSockError and self.SSLError
10)	Email Receive New Option to Leave a Copy of Message on Server (using self.OptionsUseDoneBeforeQ and self.OptionsDelete = false), which uses a queue to keep a list of the emails that have been done before. Also added self.OptionsDeleteAfterHours - which works with self.OptionsUseDoneBeforeQ to delete old emails off the server.
11)	Email Receive Example with the Don't Download Again (self.OptionsUseDoneBeforeQ), which is the same as the NetDemo's TestEmailReceive window, except that it uses xFiles to load and save the queue to an xml file.
12)	FTP  - Added a new FTP Template for using FTP. Features: • Easy to use (added using a template) • One procedure call to upload or download a file • Can take a queue of files. • Can work with wildcards • New FTP Example
13)	Another New NetSimple Client & Server Example.
14)	Close Apps Client - Changed so that the Shutdown command can pass a message. Also updated the Control template, and added a new embed point before the Init call, so you can potentially change the Service name.
15)	Web Server Templates - More details in the NetSimple - Web Server documentation.

Updates & Fixes

1)	NetWebServer.Open() - Could lock up (deadlock) if it was the first NetTalk object to be called. Fixed.
2)	NetEmailReceive() - Further tweaks for extended Mime decoding.
3)	Dial Up - Fixed deadlock (only was in NetTalk for Clarion 6.x ) when pressing adding or editing Dial Up connection entries.
4)	Updated SSL DLLs - NetTalk now shipping with SSL DLLs v0.9.8
5)	SSL - SSL new default SSL Method (self.SSLMethod = NET:SSLMethodSSLv23) which means that the connection tries to connect in the following order TLS v1.0, SSL v3.0, SSL v2.0 (e.g. Most secure method first)
6)	Renamed some of the exported NetTalk DLL functions, so that they conform to either NetSimple... or NetAuto... format. (This will require that the object and DLL use the same versions otherwise "Unresolved Externals" or "Unknown Function Labels"  will occur.)
7)	FTP - Fix for Apache FTP Servers that require the TYPE A / TYPE I command to be capitalized.
8)	General - NET:StdStringSize changed from 81 to 80. Max length of string to use should be NET:StdStringSize - 1
9)	Email Send & Email Receive - Fixed some potential memory leaks.
10)	Web Server - Fixed garbage collector.
11)	Improved support for working as a Service. Added NetOption (NET:SetIAmAService) call (automatically called by SelfService) so NetTalk doesn't shutdown on Log Off.
12)	NetEmailSend - fixed a double dot problem where a . could occasionally be incorrectly transformed into ..

Version 3.40 (Gold) (21 June  2005)

New Features

1)	In NetWebClient object there's a new property: self.CustomHeader   (string(4096)). Which is added to the request header in ._CreateRequestHeader() Note - must not have trailing <13,10>

Updates & Fixes

1)	NetWebClient.TextOnly() - Some of the code was Case Sensitive, when it should have been Case Insensitive.
2)	Clarion 6.2 Fix. Slight tweak to Email and News Objects to remove compiler warning message "Warning: Field label is duplicated, first used: _ObjectType"
3)	Clarion 6.2 Fix. Recompiled DLL in Clarion 6.2 9046 - which fixes a delete queue GPF issue which was present in 9045. Requires Clarion 6.2 9046 if you are using this with Clarion 6.2.
4)	Tempate Help Button Fixed. Also made slight tweaks to the install script.

Version 3.29 (Gold) (13 May  2005)

New Features

1)	NetTalk objects (not NetSimple) have finally been renamed in the documentation to NetAuto objects to prevent further confusion. Similarly the NetTalk protocol has been renamed to the NetAuto protocol too.

Updates & Fixes

1)	Changed NetTalk to use our own _NetCriticalSection, as the one in CwSynchC.inc has private attributes which prevent it from being re-used and tweaked correctly. NetGetCriticalSection DLL function renamed to NetGet_NetCriticalSection. If you get compiler errors then see FAQ Article A3 and upgrade to NetTalk v3.29 or greater. (Also changed the DLL to use a reference to _NetCriticalSection)
2)	NetAuto - DLL. ,static added to DLL CallBackWindowSrc's variable Static:LastTime used in CheckNotifier Routine
3)	NetAuto - Added a work around for Windows Firewall, where the NetAuto objects could sometimes not receive incoming UDP packets at program start just after machine reboot. This resulted in other public instances not being "visible". The work around only gets run if the application starts within the first 5 minutes after boot up, and then it does NetSendBroadcast after 30 seconds, 60 seconds and 300 seconds, to ensure it can see all other instances.
4)	NetAuto. Added a slight random delay before sending back a ICanDoBack packet after receiving a ICanDo packet. This improves the chances of not congesting a network with a flood of responses.
5)	NetAuto & Template. A new method NetServer.Announce() allows the NetServer.Init(), NetServer.Kill() and NetClient.Init() and NetClient.Kill() to delay the broadcast of new services, so that one can Init all services before doing the Announce(). This drastically reduces the number of ICanDo and ICanDoBack packets during startup and shutdown of NetAuto objects. The template has been changed to accommodate these changes to. Also redundant ICanDo sending has been minimized in the DLL too.

Version 3.28 (Gold) (1 April 2005)

New Features

1)	New Special Option in the Template "Fix all my bugs". Added 1 April 2005.
2)	Added External Run-Time DLL support to the template. Please don't use this unless you know what you are doing otherwise you'll end up with Unresolved Link errors.

Updates & Fixes

1)	NetAutoGetServers() - will now return -22 (ERROR:BadOptions) if it is passed a Queue which points to null.
2)	Updated NetWeb.tpw & _NetWebServerWorker.FileToSessionQueue()
3)	NetOptions now allows you to call SetMaxInstances after the DLL is active, although this won't have the full effect of allowing to have multiple instances on the current machine, but it will allow you to talk to multiple instances on other machines.
4)	WinSock Listen function changed to use the WinSock2 SOMAXCONN value when WinSock2 is available. This leads to slight performance increases, and may reduce 10055 errors (WSANOBUFS).
5)	DIP - template and examples updated to use dip.capesoft.net - which is a server based in the States.
6)	Web Client - Fix if the web server returns just "HTTP/1.1 302" instead of "HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily".
7)	Email Receive - Fixed the code where it would sometime chop off the last five bytes of the text or html portion in a simple email with no multiparts.

Version 3.27 (Gold) (7 February 2005)

New Features

1)	NetTalk DLL Source Code is now available for purchase. More information is available here. (It may take a day or so until it's fully uploaded and can be ordered).

Version 3.26 (Gold) (26 January 2005)

New Features

1)	Added DLL Version information to the NetTalk DLLs.
2)	Added new property to the NetEmailReceive object .OptionsIncludeTextAttachmentsInText which will store text attachments into the text portion of the email. Off by default.

3)	NetEmailSend - Added self.OptionsAttachmentContentType property which lets you override the default Attachment Content Type of 'application/x-unknown'

Updates & Fixes

1)	NetCloseApps. Changed the Warning and Shutdown window, so that they display centered, which fixes a bug (only in NetTalk for Clarion 6.1) where these windows were not visible on the second monitor
3)	NetWebClient - Fix for some https sites.
4)	NetWebClient - now sets the cookie into the cookie property on redirects unless you specify the new property self.OptionsDontSetCookieOnRedirect
5)	NetWebServer - updated Web Server Control Template - so that you can optionally see the last transaction, and a log history. Very useful when you are developing a Web Server site.
6)	NetWebClient - TextOnly() split into 3 methods. Also clears <script> and <style> HTML tags.
7)	Template - #Application changed for NetRefresh (Thanks Arnor).
8)	Inversed Index Ranges for String Slicing checked for and fixed in some places.
9)	NetRefresh - Added new #At and new parameter to the NetRefresh.Send method. This adds support for the Dynamic Driver.
10)	NetDip - Changed self.MyIPAddress from cstring(15) to cstring(16) as it was one character too short, and was loosing this last character in the IP address.
11)	NetEmailReceive - Fix for email decoding where Content-Type: text/html & Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
12)	NetSimple - Minor tweaks to the Idle Timeout code.
