It contains numerous bug fixes, including many that you've sent to WinNTKBugs. The revised comm code included in this release should resolve most of the problems with dropped connections and spurious error dialogs seen in previous releases. Unfortunately, the nodebug version of this release still does not run on 3.1 with Win32s; however, we have included a debug version that does run under this configuration. We apologize for this inconvenience. * Known Problems The nodebug version of WinNTK 1.6b3 does not run under Windows 3.1 w/ Win32s. This problem will be resolved in the final release. In the meantime, we have included a debug version that does run on these systems. Note that it is significantly larger (and slower to launch/exit) than the nodebug versions supplied for Win95 and NT systems. We apologize for this inconvenience. Taking screen shots from the Newton is unreliable due to comm problems. Online help (F1) does not work. Printing from browsers does not work. There are several problems having to do with projects, user protos and layouts being in different directories. There are no known problems when all three are in the same directory or the user protos and layouts are in sub-directories of the directory containing the project. Support for proportional viewBounds is not quite complete. Restrictions on the build order of project items as described under Build Sequences (p. 4-52) of the NUG are not enforced.
