Update Notes

Build 1214, 28 April 2011

VUE 3.2(307) uses the AG_STATUSLINES feature to save the present status line configuration and then enable the bottom status line (which is used by VUE to display important information during editing). On exit, the previous status configuration is restored.

VUE enhancement (edit 305): A new variation of the >FORMAT command allows reformatting (wrapping) one line at a time to a specified width:

>FORMAT #

where # is the desired wrap width.

Unlike the standard FORMAT command, which reformats a paragraph using word wrap so that each line is as long as possible without exceeding the current width specified by the WIDTH command, FORMAT # operates on only the current line, wrapping it at exactly the specified width. This is mostly just a convenience for getting an overview of an extremely long line (as an alternative to successively using the >MARGIN # command, or RightArrow, to view one screen width at a time).

VUE enhancement (edit 304): The old line length limit of 2022 bytes has been greatly expanded. For existing files, the new limit is 1000 bytes longer than the longest of the first 100 lines in the file. For new files, the limit is 4K. 

Also, the line concatenation function (^o) now beeps and otherwise does nothing when the concatenated line would exceed the current limit. (Previously it just truncated without warning.)
