From 311e80d953b7327859c0e65032a679bc152aa8e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: david Date: Mon, 2 Feb 2009 19:30:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Adjust a TODO item: Zenmap highlighting of host names works fine, the problem is that the highlight settings are not updated when Zenmap is upgraded. They are stored in zenmap.conf, a per-user configuration file that is installed once and not upgraded thereafter. Once someone has installed an old version of Zenmap with broken highlighting, upgrading won't fix it unless they remove their zenmap.conf. --- docs/TODO | 16 +++++++++------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/TODO b/docs/TODO index 354a94f51..c5d1f94cc 100644 --- a/docs/TODO +++ b/docs/TODO @@ -1,12 +1,14 @@ TODO $Id: TODO 11866 2009-01-24 23:10:05Z fyodor $ -*-text-*- -o Even Zenmap 4.85BETA1 still linkifies various times and other - non-hostname strings.
