IMPROVED CONSOLE 4.0 HISTORY
============================
Version 4.0 (2006-01-06):
Redesigned. All bugs of 3.x fixed. Kicked compatibility-mode. New features:
Buffered mode to reenable scrolling, more shorties, no automatically
clearscreen at end of application any more. New homepage.
Version 3.4 Update 1 (2005-09-05):
Updateded documentation. normal() now deprectead, use normalize() instead.
Changed setTitle(const TCHAR*) to setTitle(const std::basic_string<TCHAR>&)
to get back backward-compatibility.
Version 3.4 (2005-09-05):
Added better fullscreen-support, enumerations for colors instead of
constants, enumeration for usual caret-sizes, new shorties.
Version 3.3 Update 1 (2005-06-26):
Fixed bug in compatibility-mode.
Version 3.3 (2005-05-26):
Added further shorties and method reset() to put the console into a defined
standard-state (also called by the constructor).
Version 3.2 (2005-05-16):
Introduced new No-C++-Mode, because some users didn't want to handle with
namespaces and classes. Just include ic.h instead of ic.hpp!
Version 3.1 (2005-05-16):
Introduced "Shorties": Inline-functions wrapping Console-calls, e.g.
clrscr() instead of con.clearScreen(). This names are based on the old
conio.h-names.
Version 3.0 (2005-05-15):
All bugs of 2.0 fixed. Uses the platform-sdk version 5.0 to implement new
features. Now full control over the console fullscreen-mode - not just a
toggle-function. Isolated functions for setting and getting the text- and
background-color. Added special compatibility-mode for older
platform-sdks (IMPROVED_CONSOLE_WIN9X_COMPATIBLE).
Version 2.0 Final (2004-09-19):
Completely redesigned. Introduces new features like setting the position
and size of the console. Possibility to show/hide/minimize/maximize/
fullscreen the console. More detailled clear-screen-operations.
Version 1.1 (2003):
The first try of SideWinder to create a better version of Marc++us'
Improved Console failed. Many people couldn't get along with the bloated
interface. Also the setup was much too hard for programming-newbies.
Version 1.0 Final (2001-05-05):
C++ class for colored console output as an improvement of the cout
stream-classes - implements some parts of the still missed old conio.h. You
can get this very simple class still at:
