Installation

The installation procedure depends on which version of Awasu you currently have. As always, exit Awasu and back up your installation first!

• If you already have Awasu 1.1.3 or 1.1.4 beta

  Unpack this zip on top of your existing files: Awasu-PersonalEdition-v1.1.5.zip

  IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 98 or Me, use this zip instead: Awasu-PersonalEdition-v1.1.5.mslu.zip




• If you already have Awasu 1.1.2 beta

  Please upgrade to 1.1.3 first and then unpack the zip above.




• If you already have Awasu 1.1
  • Unpack this zip on top of your existing files: Awasu-PersonalEdition-v1.1.5.zip
  • You also need to download and unpack bcg61u.zip and mfc42u.zip.
  • Run upgrade.exe (in the Awasu installation directory). This can take several minutes depending on how fast your machine is and how many channels you have but you will be told when it is done. Please be patient!
  
  
• If you already have any other version

  Please upgrade to Awasu 1.1 first and run it at least once. Then follow the instructions above.

New features and bug fixes

• Added support for compressed (gzip) feeds.
  
  
• Added support for iso-8859-15.
  
  
• Fixed a problem where the Awasu UI would sometimes just hang. This was most likely to happen if you tried to open a channel's window or properties dialog while (perhaps other) channels were being updated.
  
  
• Honor changed default channel settings when quick-subscribing to channels from the Import From OPML dialog.
  
  
• Fixed a problem where temp files were sometimes being stored on the desktop.
  
  
• Worked around a crash if the Channel Wizard gets an error on the feed e.g. because of invalid XML or an incorrect URL.
  
  
• Stopped the caption bar from flickering.
  
  
• Added an option to exclude feed items from channel reports.
  
  
• Fixed a problem where the Awasu UI would sometimes just hang when creating channels from an application plugin (e.g. GoogleSearch).
