This is a beta version of vern for Windows XP

May 4, 2004
- fixed some problems with the launch properties dialog
- updated vern to recognise Windows Server 3000

April, 2004
- fixed some problems with the launch settings not being saved.

July 02, 2003
- added Auto Save edit control in Selector tab, this allows one to set the
  autoSav registry entry from within vern (see July 01, 2003 entry)
- do version check to make Minimize Animation off and Restore Maximized
  windows the default
- updated to version 3.5

July 01, 2003

- added "Minimize Animation Off" option to toggle window minimisation
 optimisation on and off.  Default is selected.
- added "Restore maximized windows" option to toggle the behaviour
 of maximized windows.  If selected, maximized windows are restored
 full screeen to deal wiht a WinXP bug that causes maximized windows
 to not be properly moved.
- added "autoSave" registry entry to automatically save Vern settings
 every x milliseconds.  Default is 0 (off), minimum is 60000 (60 seconds).
 HKCU\Software\One Guy Coding\Vern\3\autoSave to change this value.

The problems, associated with Vern under Windows XP, 
and attempted solutions, are,

1) maximised windows misbehave in vern under some circumstances

To deal with this, Vern 'restores' the window to fill the screen.
Without this hack, the maximised windows sometimes do not move
when dragging miniwindows, or when switching desktops.  This
appears to be a bug in SetWindowPos() since that routine returns
sucessful but the window is never moved.

2) IE windows, hidden offscreen, close when a javascript open
   window command is processed.

When a named javascript open window is opened by IE, all of the
other IE windows that are hidden offscreen are closed.  This
is NOT done by Vern, it appears to be IE that is doing this.
The solution I have in place right now is to NOT close IE
windows.

3) Citrix published apps disappear.

There is a problem with published citrix apps disappearing
when switching vern desktops.  Citrix has published a fix for
this.

4) Minimisation animation causes problems

If vern is switching desktops at the same time that an app
is being minimised, it can end up jumping around on screen.
To fix this problem, I've turned off the animation when vern
starts up.  This will eventually be configurable with a
vern registry entry, disableMinimiseAnimation, or something
like that.
