version history:

1.0 release 1 - 10 May 2001
 news: it seems that CNet doesn't update the programs from Simtel,
  so just stick with Simtel; you could be able to search for CosmicServer
  on Simtel (www.simtel.net) now (it didn't work before because I didn't
  include the program name in the description)
  This version should be pretty stable; I'll be working on version 1.1
  which will support some dynamic pages with database connections.

 fixes and improvements:
  - the program now remembers the position and size of the main window
  - fixed the resuming of a completed file
  - added a bit of documentation
  - some minor things


1.0 beta 3 - 18 Feb 2001
 news: I uploaded CosmicServer to the Simtel network :)
  This also means you can find it in CNet Downloads

 fixes and improvements:
  - fixed a serious bug related to range parsing (it affected the partial
   downloads)
  - fixed a bug that made CosmicServer forget the path attached to the root dir
  - changing the server port now has effect immediately

  
1.0 beta 2 - 29 Jan 2001
 fixes and improvements:
  - added the "case sensitive" option for dirs and files
  - fixed a bug that caused some problems with listing some folders, especially
   root folders on windows 95
  - the browser now displays a friendly error message instead of crashing if the
   MS XML parser 3.0 is not installed
  - improved the init file upgrading mechanism


1.0 beta 1 - 18 Jan 2001
 the name has been changed (from TinyWeb) to CosmicServer, because the guys
 from RITLABS (who also wrote Dos Navigator) were the first ones to write a
 web server with that name, and I have to admit it is really tiny

 changes and improvements:
  - the init file is now in xml format
  - the images were moved from the exe to a data file
  - the executable is compressed with UPX
  - added the "check version" button
  - the options are saved automatically after pressing the "ok" button
  - imncreased the buffer size


1.0 alpha 4 - 9/10 Dec 2000
 fixes and improvements:
 * functionality
  - the server now specifies the content type by file extension; as a result,
   netscape doesn't display only plain text anymore
  - added the "default document" option


1.0 alpha 3 - 29 Nov 2000
 fixes and improvements:
 * interface
  - pressing delete when editing a dir name doesn't attempt to delete the dir
  - fixed window positioning
  - the main window minimizes to systray
  - the init file can be upgraded from previous version
 * functionality
  - downloads can be resumed (yeah!)
  - the dir list is sorted, has no duplicates (web dir - file system folder)
   and looks better
  - added the browse button (to view the selected dir in browser)
  - added the addresses window (to show the computer's addresses)
  - directories can be hidden from list, therefore the init file format has changed
 * many other minor things


1.0 alpha 2 - 19 Nov 2000
 fixes and improvements:
 * interface
  - added icons, shortcut keys, drag and drop, toolbar, status bar, and
   adjusted the popup menu to make the whole interface more friendly and
   explorer-like
  - adding a child dir now asks for name and path
  - dirs are now sorted (in the program window)
  - moved the port setting to the new "options" window
 * functionality
  - replaced file vars with filestream vars,
   now opening files in "read and share-deny-write" mode
  - fixed the tree loading and saving, changed the format a bit
  - checked for duplicate dir names
  - unescaped the dir title in the generated dir list
  - fixed displaying of "." and ".." dirs
 * many other minor things


1.0 alpha 1 - 9 Nov 2000
 this is the first version
