Cleaning up the UI and Model packages to make them easier to understand and maintain
Probably the most noticeable changes are:
The listing for the entire archive is loaded at once
14,255+ posts!
Loading no longer happens in a background process
The email message for a post is not loaded until you select the post in the listing
This means you'll see a wait cursor when you click on a post you haven't viewed before
Once an email message has been downloaded, the body text and attachments are stored on disk, not in memory
This means you'll always see a wait cursor when you click on a post :)
However, the wait should be very short when the email is already downloaded
Filtering preferences are stored in Preferences
Filtering changes only take effect when you choose the mouse-menu option "apply filter changes"
There are three text input boxes instead of four
"Text in title or body:" has been changed to "Text in title: "
Filtering based on body text would require either downloading every email message in the archive, or some pretty fancy footwork that I didn't want to attempt
All BFAV 2.0 menu options are found in the listing pane mouse-menu
BFAV 2.0 has been tested on Mac and Linux and didn't have any obvious problems. BFAV 2.0 was tested on Windows 2000 and there were some issues related to the HTTPClient library not retrieving an HTTP response correctly; I think this might be a Windows VM issue but I haven't looked at it very hard. Help troubleshooting this problem would be very welcome.
