SMAPI 1.4 has been released and is currently available for FREQ from 3:635/728:

SMAPI14.ZIP    72K  SMAPI; Modified Squish MSGAPI version 1.4. Released in
                    January 1998 by Andrew Clarke  FidoNet
                    3:635/728.4.  Contains a modified version of Scott
                    Dudley's original MSGAPI0 which supports compilation on
                    a number of other platforms in addition to those
                    supported by MSGAPI0.

SMAPI can also be download via anonymous Internet FTP from
ftp://ftp.zws.com/pub/msged/, or visit the Msged home page at
http://www.blizzard.ml.org/msged/.

The following is a list of bug fixes and new features since SMAPI 1.1.

SMAPI 1.4
---------

- Bug fix: NumKludges() was not working correctly.

- The following typedefs and macros were added to msgapi.h, for
  compatibility with MsgAPI 0.4+ (SQDEV200).

    typedef struct _msgapi *HAREA;
    typedef struct _msgh *HMSG;
    typedef struct _xmsg *PXMSG;
    typedef NETADDR *PNETADDR;

    #define MSGAPI_VERSION  1
    #define SMAPI_VERSION   "1.4"

- MSGAPI32.LIB and MSGAPINT.LIB have been removed from the SMAPI archive.


SMAPI 1.3
---------

- Major bug fix: Under some circumstances SMAPI would create a corrupted
  index entry when a new message was added to a Squish base.  This was
  caused by a misunderstanding of a small section of code, which in turn
  caused the library to read from the wrong position of an array.  This
  has been corrected.

- Bug fix: Due to a structure alignment problem, the Linux, FreeBSD and
  DJGPP versions of SMAPI would corrupt the date_written and date_arrived
  fields on newly created messages.  Due to the layout of Squish message
  base format, this may have also caused corruption to the message
  threading of the newly created message.  Fixed.

- Various minor code modifications intended to make SMAPI more reliable
  under some error conditions.

- A makefile for IBM C/Set++ for OS/2 2.0 is now included; MAKEFILE.IBO.

- Various minor modifications to support compilation of a native Windows
  NT library.  A makefile for WATCOM C/C++ for Windows NT 10.x is now
  included; MAKEFILE.WCW.

- The makefile for the Microsoft QuickC library now uses the Microsoft
  Macro Assembler, MASM.  The Borland Turbo Assembler, TASM, may be used
  if you do not have MASM.


SMAPI 1.2
---------

- MSGAPI32.DLL and MSGAPINT.DLL have been removed from the SMAPI archive.

- SMAPI now supports compilation using the DJGPP compiler.  (Courtesy
  Alexander Aganichev.)

- The Linux, EMX and FreeBSD makefiles now utilise compiler optimisation
  when creating the SMAPI library.
