Version: 2.2.0 Release date: 6 June, 2004

___________________________________________________________

1) Bug fixed in Character Code mode: In Windows Xp (not in Windows

2000), some characters has wrong character codes in Avro
Keyboard.
This bug is fixed in this version.

Version: 2.1.0 Release date: 15 April, 2004

___________________________________________________________

1) Stable Keyboard Macro: The Keyboard Macro feature of version 2.0.0

had a lot of bugs and disabilities, you couldn't use too long text with the
Macro, and if you tried to use some special characters like
{ ( [ ] } ) ^ + etc, Avro Keyboard crashed.
This Keyboard Macro is totally stable now, you can use as much as
65,535 characters (almost 30 pages of text!) in each Macro position.
No more crashing....

2) Bug fixed in "Character Code" mode: Halant dead key didn't worked in
"Character Code" mode in version 2.0.0. This bug is fixed.

3) Problem solved in "Through Clipboard" mode: the Shift key didn't work
in some application under "Through Clipboard" mode in version 2.0.0.
This bug is fixed.

Version 2.0.0 Release date: 26 March, 2004

___________________________________________________________

1) Totally customizable: Users have different choices and needs.

Avro Keyboard is built for all of them. From version 2.0.0 behavior of
Avro Keyboard can be customized.

2) New Sleek & Powerful Layout Viewer: Layout Viewer now occupies
less area than ever before. A new option of bringing Layout Viewer
automatically in Bangla mode has been added.

3) Keyboard Macro: Do you have to type your email signature, office

address, current date/time etc. every time you need? Avro Keyboard
comes to make you relieved!
Assign these texts at 12 key positions in Avro Keyboard (F1 to F12,
any of these keys can be enabled/disabled) and Avro Keyboard will
do the typing for you. This intelligent Keyboard Macro can also enter
dynamic text items such as current date, time, date & time, day,
moth, year etc. information.

4) Easy Developing Bangla web pages: Microsoft FrontPage Xp

has full support of UNICODE. But what if you are familiar with
some other HTML editor or like to code HTML directly? Every time
you want to enter Bangla "KA", you have to enter its character
code - ক in HTML! Why worrying when Avro Keyboard
is at hand? When typing in "Character Code" mode,
these character codes will be entered automatically!

5) Larger field of compatibility: There are still a lot of applications

which have partial support for UNICODE (such as, "any"
application created in Visual basic 6, MS Internet Explorer 5,
Adobe Photoshop, Robo Help etc). These applications can
display UNICODE characters, but as they cannot read UNICODE
keystrokes, you cannot directly type Bangla on them.
Avro Keyboard 2.0.0 comes with an elegant solution - just type in
"Through Clipboard" mode and you can see a miracle, Bangla can be
typed on them!!!

6) Customizable Mode Switching (Single key/Key combination):

Now you can use "Single Key Mode Switching" by using any one
key from F1 to F12.
And for old Bijoy users we have also added the Ctrl+Alt+B key
combination to switch between Bangla and System
Keyboard mode.

7) Updated Fonts: New version of Avro Keyboard is bundled

with updated Bangla fonts those support UNICODE 4.0

8) Old Style Reph: Now Old Style Reph can be

enabled/disabled from the Configuration dialog box.

9) Automatic Vowel Forming: Now Automatic Vowel Forming

can be enabled/disabled from the Configuration dialog box.

10) Enhanced Interface: Helpful and nice balloon tool tips

has been added in Top Bar.

11) Bug Fixes: All old known bugs are fixed.
