HISTORY.TXT      PurgeIE Pro - Version Information

Version 5.02 - 11/11/2013 -
    Included support for the Temp Folders to include those defined
    via the System Variables "TEMP" and "TMP".

Version 5.01 - 01/21/2013 -
    Added support for Win-8 and IE-10. 
    Drop support for 98 / NT-4 / ME / 2000.

Version 4.05 - 04/30/2011 -
    Implemented a method for protecting files in the Temp Folders.
    Added support for IE-9. 

Version 4.04 - 09/02/2010 -
    Implemented a purge function for Internet Explorer's DOMstore
    (Document Object Model).

Version 4.03 - 06/29/2009 -
    Improved the clearing of data within the Index.dat files.
    Recent versions of I.E. was not clearing the URL data in the 
    Index.dat files.  I.E. was simply marking them as "free". 

    Modified the "Purge I.E. Folders at next Reboot" function to
    avoid the timing problems with Windows opening the Index.dat
    files early in the Boot process.  This now deletes only the
    Index.dat files rather than the complete folder.

    Implemented a new "Tools" function to "Display Hidden 
    Browser Windows".

    Implemented a function for Executing individual plugins via the
    "Select Plugins" window.

Version 4.02 - 12/23/2008 -
    Implemented column sorting for the Protect window display.  Click the 
    heading area of a column to sort the display based on that column.
    Click again to reverse the sort order.

Version 4.01 - 01/26/2007 -
    Implemented support for VISTA.  The new versions process
    both the Protected Mode folders and the Normal Mode folders
    for Internet Explorer 7 running under VISTA.

Version 3.04 - 03/16/2006
    Implemented an option on the Protect Window for users to
    indicate selected Cookies to have their data randomized by
    the "Unprotected Cookies" function.

        For example, one could designate the Cookies from
        "DoubleClick" to be randomized (jumbled) during the Purge
        function. This should, effectively, cause the DoubleClick
        Cookies to be meaningless to DoubleClick, etc..

    Implemented an option for changing the display Fonts for the
    Main  Window and the Protect Window.

    Added functions to the Help Menu to access the website's forms to:
      1. Replace Lost Registration Code.
      2. Contact Vendor via Email

    Added Color coding of error messages in the "Display Results"
    listings.

Version 3.03 - 12/13/2005
    Implemented an option for ignoring newer files in the Temp
    Folders. The number of hours can be specified for this option.
    This should help eliminate some of the "locked" file messages.

    The default settings are "On" and "8" Hours.

Version 3.02 - 10/24/2005
    Corrected an error. Version 3.01 was reverting to test mode 
    after registration.

Version 3.01 - 09/24/2005
    Implemented a new user interface using a tabbed sheet layout.

Version 2.03 - 03/14/2005 -
    Modified to include optional support for XP themes.  
    This required conversion of the Windows buttons to plain
    buttons with no icons.

Version 2.02 - 09/06/2004 -
    Implemented a Quick Start window for new users.

    Implemented a Windows-style menu system and removed the
    "Help" button from the Main window.

    Modified the "Clear Auto Forms" option to utilize
    a NT/XP Service to delete the forms data. Earlier versions
    processed the "Internet Options" screens to accomplish
    this function.

    Implemented the use of Windows assigned "Application Data"
    folders for storing the user's Protect data file, etc.. 
    Previous versions stored these files in the PurgeIE
    execution folder.
    
Version 2.01 - 03/04/2004 -
    Implemented an option for clearing the Windows ClipBoard.

    Implemented optional support for processing multiple 'Temp'
    folders with the 'Temp Folders' option.  You can use the
    'Configuration' function to select up to four possible folder
    locations for processing. 

    This has become necessary as not all programs follow the rules 
    when determining the folder to use for their 'Temp' files.

Version 1.05 - 01/01/2004 -
    Modified the notation for 'Temp Files' to 'Temp Folder' which
    is more descriptive of the function.  As before, the function
    deletes all files from the Windows Temp Folder.

    Implemented a function to access the PurgeIE website to check
    for a newer version.  This is accessed via the 'Help' button.

Version 1.04 - 11/03/2003 -
    Improved processing for the "History Folders" option.
    This should overcome the problems with IE-5 and IE-6 which
    prevent users from deleting their "Today" History on many
    systems.

Version 1.03 - 06/30/2003 -
    Implemented buttons on the main window to turn all
    options 'On' and 'Off'.

    Combined the "Clear History via I.E." option into the
    "History Folders" option.  This eliminated the use of
    the 'Internet Options' screens and is much faster.

Version 1.02 - 05/11/2003 -
    Implemented a function within the Plugin logic to purge
    specified Elements within XML files.

    This was requested so as to support clearing of History
    stored by the 'Open Office' product.

    Note - this support is also implemented in version 1.02
           of the Plugin Manager.  If you use the Plugin
           Manager, you should upgrade it to version 1.02

Version 1.01 - 04/01/2003 -
    Initial Production Release.
