Problems Fixed in this Release

The following problems have been corrected in the JavaHelp 1.1.1 release:

Problem: jhindexer did not work correctly with JDK 1.3 on the Win32 platform.
Problem: The JavaHelp 1.1 jh.jar verification signature has expired.
Problem: When a search database was created on HTML files encoded in a character set other than the default character set, JavaHelp incorrectly displayed full-text search results.

All non-Latin databases must be rebuilt.

Problem: HTML titles with localized characters were cut off in the SearchView tree.
Problem: Focus was lost from the Find text boxes in the full-text search and index navigators if focus was changed to a different navigator (for example if the user clicked on the TOC tab).
Problem: enableHelpKey() and enableHelpOnButton() caused memory leaks
Problem: Memory leak in CSH.setHelpSet().
Problem: JavaHelp 1.1.1 search engine did not work without Swing classes. The JavaHelp search engine classes erroneously required the presence of Swing (but did not actually use Swing) in order to run. This made it difficult to package systems to run in a web browser environment. Search failed with various exceptions, depending on the browser used.
