Changes that have been made to The Amazing Portal Generator are recorded here.

Released 2/27/08:

Changes were made for Windows Vista compatibility: help files now use HTML Help instead of WinHelp, and data is no longer stored in the Program Files folder.
Data is now stored in the "common applications data" folder. For Windows Vista and above, this is:
C:\ProgramData\RTG\APG\
and for Windows XP it is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RTG\APG\
The data folder is hidden (a Microsoft decision).
Added the Copy Portal To Desktop command, so you don't need to find the hidden data folder.
Added a Clear button to remove links or buttons added by the user but not in the current portal.
Updated the library of links and buttons to reflect changes on the Web.
Increased the maximum number of items in one portal from 150 to 400.

Released 3/5/03:

Added the ability to choose fonts.
Added an option to make all columns the same width.
Added an option to change the link style.
Added a library of links and buttons, separate from the user's portal layout. This allows the library to be updated without changing any existing portals.
Each link or button in the library has a category, to make it easier to find what you need.
Updated links and buttons in the library to reflect changes to the Web.
Separated the user's preferences (in apg.ini) from the portal layout (in portal.apg).
Allowed for editing different files using the Save As and Open commands. The File menu shows a list of recently-edited files. The default filename is portal.apg for the portal layout, which creates a Web page in the file portal.htm.

Released 4/14/99:

Added button that runs Web browser to display portal.
Added import and export of links and buttons.
Changed setup program. Now uses Inno Setup.
Separate dialogs are now used to set a color scheme and to change individual colors.
