                           Release notes for LessTif

Release 0.94.0 (December 3, 2004 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fix memory leaks.
     * Fix   a   problem   in   DebugUtil.c  -  it  didn't  compile  with
       --enable-production.
     * Controversial  hack  to accept accelerators even if NumLock and/or
       CapsLock is on.
     * Fix  to  _XmGetFocusData  to get focus data from MenuShells, which
       are not derived from VendorShell.
     * Allow   popup   menus   to   "stick"   if   button-up   is  within
       double-click-interval of button-down (to behave more like Motif).
     * A button grab fix.
     * Another  fix that I must have never submitted diff for (don't ever
       let  MemWidget  get  set  to,  for example, a seperator because we
       always assume it's a label of some kind).
     * More  scroll wheel support - this is in XmScrolledWindow which now
       automatically  adds  translations  to  its  children  for  this to
       happen.
     * Cleanup in some memory allocation code, hope to fix more leaking.
     * Configure.in  was trying to figure out whether it could write into
       the  autoconf  macro  directory;  that was wrong as Martin Simmons
       pointed out. Fixed this, also make sure to feed the directory info
       to the lesstif.spec file.
     * Fixes  by  Dave Williss for the option menu resize problem that he
       reported, and for (bug #1060425) an option menu highlight problem.
     * Apply   the   second  batch  of  Xpm  fixes  for  memory  leaks  -
       xorg-681-CAN-2004-0914.patch
     * Fix build problem.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.96 (September 26, 2004 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Changes to make the build system work again.
     * From  now  on,  LessTif  only builds as a Motif-2.1 clone. The 1.2
       compatibility  build  has  (finally!)  been  removed after several
       years  of  2.1  being  the  default  build.  Do note that this may
       produce   incompatibilities   between  this  version  and  earlier
       releases if you were still using the 1.2 mode.
     * Compile  a  debugging function for printing stack traces only when
       the supporting functionality is available.
     * Don't use /bin/false etc; that kind of stuff is sometimes on other
       places such as /usr/bin .
     * A couple of XmList fixes.
     * Fix  XmForm's  geometry_manager()  to  cope  with XtGeometryAlmost
       situations better.
     * Added scroll wheel support.
     * Fixes by Dave Williss for some XmFrame bugs.
     * Workaround/fix  for pushbuttons not handling their resize when the
       application uses SetValues to set an acceleratorText.
     * The recent Xpm security fixes.
     * Fix for uninitialised memory problems.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.95b (August 18, 2004 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Changes to make the build system work again.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.95 (August 6, 2004 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Cleanup  of  the  configure.in  to remove some dead code and add a
       couple of comments.
     * Remove  support  for building a Motif-1.2 compatible version. This
       only keeps generating problems for users, there's no added value.
     * Also remove support for building a Motif-2.0 compatible version.
     * Work  on the clipboard code to make it work with xclipboard. Nedit
       and DDD users were reporting problems.
     * Bugfix for drag and drop code.
     * Get XmText to use the character width estimations described in the
       documentation.
     * A  fix  to  the  CascadeButton  widget  and gadget code for 64-bit
       systems.  Lesson  learned  : using the wrong type can create havoc
       even on dummy variables.
     * XmClipboardBeginCopy() wasn't present in a 2.1 build. Fix that for
       compatibility reasons.
     * Changes  to  autoconf  macros  to  conform  to autoconf 2.59's new
       requirements.
     * Remove reference to fontconfig.h>, they're no longer needed.
     * Prevent   a   crash   in   Form  when  no  widget  is  passed  but
       XmATTACH_WIDGET is specified.
     * Fix  from  Herbert  Xu  to  fix  a long outstanding bug with nedit
       modality. (See patch #936869.)
     * Fixes  by  Dave  Williss to get XmString to cope with Unicode in a
       limited way.
     * Fixes by Dave Williss for the (Microsoft) Windows platform. One of
       the  consequences  is  that  the macro XMLIBEXPORT is used in many
       places.  On  the  Windows platform, we configure the build so this
       means something to the compiler; on others it is blank.
     * Fix by Dave Williss for XmForm to cope with XtGeometryAlmost.
     * Fixes for geometry in XmRowColumn and XmScrolledWindow.
     * Fixes for memory problems detected by Purify.
     * Fix for an off by one error in XmList.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.94 (November 27, 2003 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Yet  another attempt to fix nedit's grab behaviour problems. (that
       are caused by lesstif).
     * Rename a private function to avoid namespace pollution.
     * Don't bother with terror.hungry.com in the make_release script.
     * Implement  Add  Mode  in  XmText.  This  means  that the selection
       doesn't  disappear  when  moving the cursor around. You can toggle
       this by using Shift-F8.
     * Fix some memory leaks.
     * Fix for an invalid XmStringFree in XmList.
     * Fix an X server hang when clicking in an option menu.
     * Fix an extended selection problem in XmList.
     * Fix  for  gadget  colour problems, and bugfixes on the fix (it was
       wrong for a while).
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.46 (July 18, 2003 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Hopefully this fixes both of the nedit grab issues.
     * List hightlight problem fix.
     * Fixes for XmText(Field)GetSubstring bugs.
     * Fix for a 2.0 build problem.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.44 (June 30, 2003 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fix for a memory leak in TextF.c
     * Quick fix to try to implement overstrike behaviour in XmText.
     * Fix  for  bug  #736415 (XmText widget still buggy) - the code that
       determined  a  string length claimed to take tabs into account but
       didn't correctly do so.
     * Bug  #721016.  In an OptionMenu, while holding down the mouse left
       button,   dragging   it  onto  the  label  gadget  (label  of  the
       OptionMenu) and then releasing it causes the X Server to hang.
     * Fix  for  bug  #721010  "text is displayed in the reverse order in
       TextWidget"  Selecting  the text by double clicking on it and then
       deleting it with a backspace in a TextWidget causes the text typed
       afterwards  to  be  displayed  in  the  reverse  order.  This  was
       happening  because  the  cursor position was going negative inside
       _XmTextDelete  function and due to this, the newly typed character
       was getting added on the left side of existing text rather than on
       the right side until the cursor position becomes positive.
     * Patch provided by Herbert Xu : this patch fixes comparison bugs on
       platforms with unsigned char as the default.
     * Patch by Peter Breitenlohner - see bug #711442.
     * Fix  the problem reported by DIG in textf/test12. (when I click on
       ``enter  text''  button, then selection of ``textf'' field (filled
       with  23.5)  become  "dirty"  --  this  field  get  filled up with
       apparently random characters and get highlighted. )
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.40 (February 6, 2003 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Start  work  to  extend  LessTif to work with the Xft library (see
       http://fontconfig.org)  so  we  can work with anti- aliased fonts.
       Hopefully we can feed some of this work into OpenMotif.
     * Include configuration/build support for the Xft library.
     * Fix  a  bug  in  _XmStringDraw  that crept in when the support for
       renditions  and rendertables was built. It showed in OpenDX as not
       correctly centering text in a label widget.
     * Fix  grab  problem  with  nedit  (bug  #566315 "NEdit - new window
       ignores all input") by going back to the fix as it was in Vendor.c
       version 1.83.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.36 (August 6, 2002 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fix  XmText,  XmTextField  problems  with  highlighting, that were
       introduced by adding visual appearance to indicate that the widget
       is insensitive.
     * Fix a random unselect colour in ToggleBG.
     * Fix  XmText  strangeness  when  editing. Some text would appear in
       strange  places,  especially  after  deleting  some lines and then
       adding stuff again. (Reported about OpenDX, also bug #215484.)
     * Fix XmText selection bugs.
     * Fix XmForm geometry bugs.
     * Clean up the pixmap cache when a XmScreen gets closed.
     * Fix XmText wrapping bug.
     * Add IconH.h> file.
     * Fix for XmMainWindow not keeping track of destroyed children.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.34 (May 19, 2002 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * XmContainer  fixes  (to make XmOUTLINE mode, which displays a tree
       of  children  widgets, work well enough to get Xplore and meditres
       happy).
     * XmIconGadget fixes.
     * Initial implementation of the CareParentVisual Trait.
     * Begin  work  on  XmSPATIAL  layout  in XmCONTAINER. Implementation
       seems to work with Xplore now.
     * Drop  the 2.0 version of ManagerP.h, there was no obvious need for
       it.
     * Change  the  memory  allocation of XmFontList and XmFontListEntry.
       Our  implementation treated them as (almost) the same, they've now
       been  converted  into  something that looks like XmRenderTable and
       XmRendition.  This  is  also  true for the 1.2 version of LessTif,
       even  though  that doesn't offer the XmRend* API's. We can do this
       because   the  structure  of  XmFontList  and  XmFontListEntry  is
       internal to LessTif so this is really none of your business.
     * Additionally, as described in [1]Anthony's tip 2 implement shared,
       reference counted, XmFontListEntrys.
     * Start  implementing XmRenderTable, XmRendition, XmTabList. Look at
       test/Xm-2.0/rendition for a multi-coloured list demo.
     * Bugfixes for FileSB, RadioBox
     * Make mwm to read the appropriate configuration files
     * Initial   implementation  of  _XmMapKeyEvents()  as  described  in
       [2]Anthony's tip 15
     * Quite a few bugfixes
     * Support for XmNunselectColor.
     * Modal dialog behaviour improvements.
     * XmText  and  XmTextField  now  show a visual indication if they're
       insensitive.
     * XmText  and  XmTextField now use shared GC's (XtAllocateGC instead
       of XCreateGC).
     * Move  some  test directories from test/Xm into test/extra, because
       they're really different beasts than the other stuff in test/Xm.
     * Fix the build for automake 1.6.* compatibility.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.18 (December 20, 2001 mai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Various small fixes
     * Enhancements to Container widget
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.14 (October 24, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Nothing to report yet.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.14 (October 24, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Work in progress on XmContainer.
     * Build system fix for 1.2 version.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.12 (September 26, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * XmSpinBox fixes.
     * XmSimpleSpinBox  : simplistic implementation. This should become a
       complete widget, probably copied from XmSpinBox.
     * More  small 2.x compatibility fixes (add missing calls as stubs at
       least)
     * XmObjectAtPoint() had wrong signature and was dealing with Gadgets
       only
     * Try to use automake 1.5.x, autoconf 2.5x, libtool 1.4.x
     * Use  XmStringCreateLocalized() to convert widget name into a label
       string  if  we're  in  the  Motif 2.* version; this makes newlines
       work.  Undocumented  feature  of  Motif  2.*, documented in SF bug
       #456132.
     * Install  string to tearoffmodel converter by default if Motif 2.*,
       another undocumented feature of Motif 2.*.
     * Rename   a   couple   of   documentation   files  (e.g.  NOTES  to
       ReleaseNotes.html).
     * Fixes in IconGadget and Container.
     * Fix  installation  process.  Now builds/installs out of the box on
       all platforms supported by libtool
     * Drop redundant files from distributions (source tarballs)
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.93.0 (August 7, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Note  that  this  release  is still based on older versions of the
       auto*  tools  (libtool  1.3.5,  automake  1.4-p4,  autoconf  2.13)
       because  of  trouble  that  we have to reliably get all the recent
       versions  to  work  across all the platforms currently used by the
       core  team.  Some  platforms  - e.g. NetBSD 1.5.* - seem to suffer
       from  this. Our only advice currently is to obtain recent versions
       of  libtool  and  autoconf, and to use the CVSMake script to build
       LessTif  based on that. We hope we can resolve these issues in the
       near future.
     * Bugfixes and further development of DtPrintSetupBox.
     * Support for XmTextFieldSetHighlight()
     * Bugfixes and an additional resource for XmSpinBox.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.92.98 (July 28, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Enhancements for the docs (FAQ, Installation Docs, manpages)
     * Update our list of platforms where LessTif can be build on
     * mwm fixes/enhancements from Andrei Rezvov <rezvov@niisi.msk.ru>
     * Drop inter-library dependencies (any libtool 1.4 related features)
     * Add  checks  whether  to  link  against -lXp -lXext when using 2.1
       Motif libraries (e.g. clients, in our test/ tree)
     * Fix dmalloc debugging support (within configure script)
     * Add some files missing from our test/ tree in the tarballs
     * Smaller configuration and Makefile issues (portability fixes)
     * Remove  support  for  configuring  and  building Xlt and Xbae from
       within  the LessTif distribution; they will be treated as separate
       packages from now on. We've been wasting entirely too much time on
       complexities caused by this lately. No more, I hope.
     * Various fixes for (potential) memory corruption
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.92.32 (June 2, 2001 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Small code fixes to help building on some systems
     * Use new libtool version 1.4 and automake 1.4-p1
     * Install more machine-indepedent files in $(prefix)
     * Continued  work  on Xbae, version 4.9.0 was not working as well as
       expected.
     * Added the old XbaeMatrix home page in lib/Xbae/doc.
     * Added  scripts/sf_cron.sh which is run periodically from cron on a
       shell  server  on sourceforge.net to update the web page from CVS.
       The   result   is   that  now  http://lesstif.sourceforge.net  and
       http:://www.lesstif.org are identical.
     * Removed all the support in Xbae for Motif versions lower than 1.2.
     * Move  the  manual pages's installation to $(exec_prefix)/man, this
       is  also  where  they're moved in the RPM installation. This makes
       the lesstif.spec file more transparent.
     * Release Xbae 4.9.0
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.92.26 (March 26, 2001 mai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fixes  for  small  problem with List widget. More work required on
       this ...
     * Fixes for some recently introduced bugs within configure. Now link
       libXm* against -lm if ANSI C math stuff is hidden there
     * Small Scale widget fix (rounding problem)
     * Added  two  stubs  for  missing  2.x  interfaces. On stub level we
       should be very close to a complete 2.1 set now
     * Fixes by Kazuyuki Funada, mostly for i18n.
     * Fix and add more (incomplete) man pages to the install target
     * Link  our  shared libraries against the necessary system libraries
       (e.g. libXt, libX11) to hardcode the dependencies
     * Rename  libDt  to libDtPrint, this appears to be what it's called.
       Remove  the  print_screen  field from struct DtPrintSetupData, the
       Motif  2.1  manual  pages (e.g. about XmPrintSetup) are misleading
       about libDtPrint.
     * Add  -lMrm to the Xlt tests, this is necessary as SciPlot now uses
       Mrm.
     * Make build option --with-dmalloc to work again properly
     * Make  more debugging functions available in a PRODUCTION build (no
       performance penalty)
     * Debugging  output  (DEBUG_FILE  env  var) is now always explicitly
       unbuffered and can now be sent to "stdin"/"stderr" as well
     * The  environment  variable  controlling which files send debugging
       output  has  been  renamed  to  DEBUG_SOURCES  and  now  accepts a
       blocking entries
     * Debugging  output  can now be en-/disabled upon runtime. (env vars
       DEBUG_TOGGLE, DEBUG_SIGNAL)
     * Xbae  :  removed  the #ifdefs controlling the variable height code
       and the 24 bit code. From now on these are always compiled.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.92.6 (Dezember 21, 2000 mai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fixed  a  couple of configuration issues (dependencies on GNUMake;
       incomplete    check    for    gethostname();   drop   non-standard
       str(n)casecmp()  if  not  necessary;  check  for  a  HTML  to Text
       converter; ...)
     * Fixed CVSMake scripts (checks for M4, HTML to Txt converter)
     * Increase portability of our scripts/man2html utility
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.92.0 (Dezember 14, 2000 mai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Build/Install Uil libs and Headers (and tests) by default.
     * Fixed  some  FontList interfaces to conform to the docs. Might fix
       memory leaks as well.
     * Got  the  build system to accept CFLAGS, etc. within the main tree
       and the test tree.
     * Since  0.91.8 according configure.in scripts have been cleaned up,
       improved  (drop  useless  checks;  added helpful ones) and they've
       been  enriched  by  some additional comments. Earlier the XTHREADS
       test had been fixed.
     * Ongoing   work   to  use  ANSI  C89  as  much  as  possible.  Drop
       alternatives being used (e.g. bcopy() and friends)
     * The  Motif 2.x Xme() funcs should now all exist in stubs at least;
       some had already been "implemented" earlier.
     * Makefiles  tweaked  so  "make  dist"  produces a distribution that
       works.
     * Added  contributed  code  by Frank Mair for having bold columns in
       XbaeMatrix.
     * Build  support  for  a  Motif  2.1 compatible tree. This will soon
       replace the 2.0 tree.
     * Work in progres for creating XmPrint API. (2.1 functionality)
     * Add lib/Dt directory for the CDE Desktop functionality.

     _________________________________________________________________

     * Nothing to report yet.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.91.6 (August 30, 2000 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fixed a bunch of memory leaks.
     * Bring the 2.0 version of LessTif in line with how Motif uses Xpm -
       that  is:  use the normal XPM API. This gets Xbae/examples/draw to
       compile in a 2.0 environment too.
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.91.3 (June 25, 2000 amai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * XbaeMatrix - increaslingly more work on implementation of variable
       height rows.
     * Xbae - try to give all non-static functions an Xbae prefix.
     * Patches  by  Kazuyuki  Funada for TextField to get it to do decent
       i18n.
     _________________________________________________________________

     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.90.9 (May 11, 2000 amai)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Add  XbaeGetVersionTxt(),  XbaeGetVersionNum()  to get the version
       number  from  the  (shared) library. Macros to get this at compile
       time are already in place.
     * Change  version  numbers to include the UPDATE number as well. Now
       4.8.0 becomes 40800 (M * 10000 + m * 100 + u).
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.90.7 (May 9, 2000 danny)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Xbae configuration :
          + --enable-xbae-24bit (enable 24-bit code in XbaeMatrix)
          + --enable-xbae-row-heights (allow rows to have variable height
            in XbaeMatrix)
     * Xbae API : add XbaeMatrixSetRowHeight(), XbaeMatrixGetRowHeight(),
       XbaeMatrixSetColumnWidth(), XbaeMatrixGetColumnWidth()
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.90.5 (May 2, 2000 rwscott)

     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.90.3 (May 2, 2000 rwscott)
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Major  overhaul  of  the  release process. Hopefully a little more
       consistent now.
     * Xbae configuration :
          + --enable-xbae-24bit (enable 24-bit code in XbaeMatrix)
          + --enable-xbae-row-heights (allow rows to have variable height
            in XbaeMatrix)

Release 0.90.1
     _________________________________________________________________

     * We had a major blow up in the configuration of this release

Release 0.90.0
     _________________________________________________________________

     * XbaeMatrix  :  work in progress for making rows resizable. This is
       already  in  place  for columns, it is one of the requirements for
       being  able  to  handle  different  fonts.  This  may break binary
       compatibility with previous releases.
     * Various XmText bugfixes.
     * Add Xm/MenuT.h trait include file, required for Xmt 2.1.3.
     * XbaeMatrix  :  two  bugfixes  related  to  use of global variables
       (auch).
     * CascadeButtons  :  if we set the sub-menu on a menubar there is no
       need to refresh.
     * All   over   :   remove  reference  to  timers  we've  nuked  with
       XtRemoveTimeOut().
     * XmList  (XmEXTENDED_SELECT)  -  the selected_item_count was always
       coming back as 1
     * ImageCache : add None symbolic name for transparency.
     * XmTextFieldSetSelection  -  do not allow the start or end position
       to be greater than the current length.
     * Make Labels handle bitmaps in the version 2 case only
     * XmRowColumn  :  Give the focus to the root when we don't know were
       else to put it
     * SelectionBox  has  a  class  method  called  list_callback. In our
       FileSB  class  initialization  this  field  was  missing. This was
       causing FileSB sub-classing problems.
     * Do  not activate an accelerator belonging to an un-managed widget.
       (DDD)
     * Mnemonics  were  being  installed  and  un-installed  based  on  a
       different set of rules.
     * Make label handle pixmaps with a depth of 1.
     * Xbae : consistent use of ANSI C prototypes.
     * Several bugfixes to RPM configuration file (lesstif.spec).
     * Work in progress for making Xbae widgets threadsafe.
     * XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected  doesn't  replace last item due to
       the test being performed as if position were 0 based rather than 1
       based.
     * DragBS : don't tell bcopy to copy a negative length.
     * Various fixes for compiler warnings.
     * DragBS  :  _XmWriteDragBuffer also seems to have difficulties - it
       doesn't  work  if  the 'size' is bigger than 1000, because someone
       had  the bright idea of hardcoding 1000 in as the maximum possible
       size.
     * Convert web pages to using JPEG instead of GIF.
     * Add  Builder  Xcessory  example files for Xbae widgets. With these
       you should be able to import the Xbae widgets onto the BX palette.
     * Print  a couple of warnings if someone calls Mrm thinking it might
       actually do something.
     * Clean up website text consistency.
     * Fix XmListYToPos().
     * Get rid of
     * Our sample system.mwmrc wasn't correct.
     * Manager.c : virtual key accelerator handler.
     * lesstif.spec  :  make sure the include files for Xbae, Xlt make it
       in.
     * lesstif.spec  :  split  the "devel" RPM into two - the "devel" RPM
       keeps  the development stuff (include files etc), the new "static"
       RPM contains the static libraries.

Release 0.89.9
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Implement  ScrollOneLineDown  and  ScrollOneLineUp.  This  is very
       usefull once you get one of those wheely type mouses.
     * XmNmenuHistory now working for RadioBoxes.
     * Patches to get mnemonics working in nedit.
     * General code cleanup (getting rid of unused "global" symbols)
     * XmListGetSelectedPosition fixes
     * Lots of geometry fixes
     * XmTextSetHighlight fixes
     * XmList fixes
     * Form widget significantly reworked (breaks binary compatibility)
     * openDX translations now working
     * Add  Linas  Vesptas's fixes to make XbaeMatrix cope well with cell
       widgets;  these  are  widgets that stay inside one of the matrix's
       cells. [3]GnuCash uses this extensively, [4]Oleo will use it too.
     * Add XbaeMatrixGetCellWidget() for API completeness.
     * Patch by Jens Krinke for having multiple highlightings in XmText.
     * Convert Xbae FAQ into HTML
     * Xbae  used  to have #if CELL_WIDGET, they were now removed to make
       sure cell widget functionality is always compiled in.
     * Updates to the lesstif.spec (file to create RPMs).
     * Add  [5]BuilderXcessory  configuration files that allow you to use
       the Xbae widgets in BX.
     * Add  XltCreateSciPlot(),  this  was a missing API, it was "needed"
       for the BX integration.

Release 0.89.4
     _________________________________________________________________

     * NOTE:   except  for  the  version  number  this  is  the  same  as
       0.89.1/0.89.2,  which  accidentially  went  out  the door with two
       different version numbers.

Release 0.89.2
     _________________________________________________________________

     * FileSB updates
     * Several  bug fixes which improve nedit operation (particularly the
       File->Open insensitivity problem).
     * General  code  cleanup,  and  64 bit improvements, eliminated most
       warnings on DU compile
     * SelectionBox popdownCallback fixes
     * XmListReplacePositions fix
     * several fixes for openDX

Release 0.89.1
     _________________________________________________________________

Release 0.89.0
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Add FontChooser widget to Xlt.
     * Fix  to  XmText  to  make a second call to SetValues with the same
       pointer still work.
     * Added a directory tree lib/Xbae which contains the Xbae widget set
       (XbaeMatrix, XbaeCaption, and XbaeInput).
     * Made build system changes to build Xbae in the same way as Xlt.
     * Add  build  system  options  to  Xlt  and/or  Xbae can be compiled
       together    with   LessTif.   Use   the   --enable-build-Xlt   and
       --enable-build-Xbae options.
     * Xbae  contains  both automake-based and Imake based build support;
       we're not sure how actively we'll support Imake though.
     * RowColumn tear-off segfault fix.
     * Fixed segfault with xmgrace.
     * various fixes for openDX VaSimpleOption fix for Xquote
     * fixes   for   mapCallback  for  DialogShells  with  BulletionBoard
       children
     * Even   though   binary   compatibility   is  not  our  true  goal,
       Netscape-dynMotif (4.61) now runs out-of-the-box with lesstif!
     * Initial attempts at making lesstif threadsafe (PushB, PushBG)
     * mxftp should now work
     * XmScrolledWindow/XmScrollBar geometry fixes
     * Many compilation warnings silenced.

Release 0.88.9
     _________________________________________________________________

   This is a quick summary of some of the more important things that have
   changed  since  the  last  release.  For a more detailed view, see the
   ChangeLog file.
     * Use libtool 1.3.3 which should get us more platform support. Check
       out the libtool information files for specifics.
     * Configuration  now  more  correctly handles libtool and whether to
       build and install shared and static libraries.
     * Remove some files from the distribution. They belong in libtool or
       the auto-tools, we get them from there.
     * doc/INSTALL.html  changed  to  more accurately describe what to do
       when getting a CVS copy of LessTif. This really has to do with the
       removed files mentioned above.
     * (2.0) Notebook widget layout significantly enhanced.
     * Fixed  small bug in i18n to get nedit to work. You need to compile
       nedit with -DUSE_XMIM though.
     * Add  #include  everywhere. Note that in the mwm/ directory this is
       handled in mwm.h .
     * Upgrade our XPM (lib/Xm/LTXpm.c) to 3.4j, and change the prefix to
       _LtXpm  instead  of _XmXpm to indicate this is not a Motif thingy.
       Notebook  uses this. (So did mwm already, and the image cache, and
       we register a resource converter - depending on build options.)
     * Numerous  tweaks  to  the visuals of labels/buttons, to bring them
       closer  to  the goal. This required some changes to the menu code.
       In some cases it has been made much simpler.
     * Fixed  the problem with nedit and accelerators. nedit installs and
       removes  accelerators  _alot_. The mask were were using to install
       and remove event handlers did not match, therefore the handler was
       not removed, but all the data the handler used was freed. Needless
       to say strange things happened after this.
     * Lots of improvements for XmText.
     * Many  changes  to ScrolledWindow and MainWindow to get them closer
       to the ultimate goal.
     * Configuration  verifies  symbolic link presence with -r instead of
       non-portably testing with -L, -l, or -h.

Release 0.88.1
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Build  system  changes.  Should  now  be more error free, on wider
       variety  of  platforms.  Linux version now produces libXm.so.1.0.2
       instead  of  libXm.so.1.2  You may need to run "/sbin/ldconfig" as
       root after installing this version.
     * This  release  introduces  a  major  overhaul  to the menu system.
       Keyboard  traversal  of  menus works much better, and overall menu
       behavior is improved.
     * Many  more of the automated tests pass, implying that the geometry
       of more apps should be closer to OSF/Motif behavior.
     * ToggleB[G]  and CascadeB[G] cleanup by Jamie. (Well, *that* covers
       a lot of ground.
     * Shadow.c:    Added    BC    functions    _XmDrawSquareButton   and
       _XmDrawDiamondButton.
     * ResConvert.c:  Add  ResConvert/define  for XmONE_OF_MANY_ROUND and
       XmONE_OF_MANY_DIAMOND.
     * Improve  form  layout  handling: This is the new layout algorithm,
       brought  about  by  my  nagging  suspicions,  and  the  proof from
       form/test50.  FormAllPaths  used  to  calculate  the  size  of the
       enclosing  box  of a clump of widgets. It didn't pay any attention
       to  where  on  the  form  that  box  is  placed. The new code pays
       attention.  If  a  clump  of  widgets needs a height of 100 and is
       placed  at  50,  it now knows that a form height of 150 is needed.
       All  the  same tests pass, including the dreaded test13, but be on
       the lookout for something that used to work and doesn't now.
     * Added  hack  to  prevent  nedit core dumps (see Manager.c 1.62 CVS
       log)
     * Plugged   memory   leaks   in   List.c,   Vendor.c,   Protocols.c,
       XmStringCompare(),  and  significantly FileSB. LessTif apps should
       not  "grow"  in  memory  requirements  nearly  as  much  with this
       release.
     * MainW geometry handling overhauled.
     * Optimized  Text  a bit. Should be *much* faster now in adding text
       to large buffers in ScrolledText windows.
     * And, as always, many other bugs fixed.

Release 0.88.0
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fixed layout of RowColumn for children with borderWidght !=0.
     * FileSelectionSearch update.
     * Fix  for  incorrect  information  in  XmNchildren  for  menus with
       tear-off controls.
     * Prevent a few segfaults in menu traversal.
     * The build system overhaul should be working properly now. RPMs are
       still  1.2  only,  but  the tarball binary distribution should now
       have both 1.2 and 2.0 versions of the library.
     * Prevent segfault in nedit 5.0.2.
     * Tear-off-menu updates (and more to come...)
     * ScrollBar fixes in ScrolledW/DrawingArea

Release 0.87.9
     _________________________________________________________________

  Major change to build structure. Now builds 1.2 and 2.0 versions by default.

     * The 2.0 tree release breaks binary compatibility with all releases
       prior  to  0.87.1  of the lesstif libraries because of a change to
       the NotebookP.h.
     * Build system changes require the following tools and versions:
          + Autoconf version 2.13
          + ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2
          + automake (GNU automake) 1.4
     * The  build  now  creates  (by default) both 1.2 and 2.0 compatible
       versions    of    the    libraries.    They   are   installed   in
       $(prefix)/LessTif/Motif1.2  and $(prefix)/LessTif/Motif2.0 but the
       appropriate    links    are    created    in   $(prefix)/lib   and
       $(prefix)/include.  Changing  an  installation  that simulates 1.2
       into  one  that  acts like 2.0 is a matter of changing a couple of
       symbolic links.
     * INSTALL  no  longer  exists  as  a  separate  source in CVS, it is
       generated  from  doc/INSTALL.html by running lynx on it. Those who
       get  a  copy  of LessTif from CVS will get a warning from automake
       saying  that  INSTALL  is  missing.  This warning is harmless, the
       LessTif  build  process will generate the INSTALL file if it finds
       lynx.
     * The doc/INSTALL.html is updated to reflect the new build options.

  Other code changes

     * Fixed nasty bulletin board placement bug.
     * Fixed bugs in Scrollbar: now allows 0x0 widget in realize
     * List scrollbar names changed to VertScrollbar and HorScrollBar
     * Improvements to scrolling in Text Widgets,
     * Text cut-n-paste improvements.
     * Form layout improvements.
     * Menu fixes, including improved traversal code.
     * 64-bit compatibility fixes
     * Lots of fixes for grok.
     * And much more!

Release 0.87.1
     _________________________________________________________________

     * This version will probably break binary compatibility with 0.87.0,
       although  I don't see anything specific at the moment. Don't count
       on binary compatibility, though.
     * This  version  introduces  a  significant  overhaul  of  lesstif's
       internal geometry handling thanks mainly to the hard work of Jamie
       Gritton  and  Rick  Scott in the general area of visual appearance
       (geometry,  layout,  and  color handling). These won't be detailed
       here  (cvs  log  if  you're  interested).  Overall,  though, we're
       getting  much  closer  to  exact  compliance with Motif's geometry
       handling. Among the many other changes are:
       Reorganization of drawing functions, step 1:
       There are no more _Xm*_1_2_ or Xme*_2_0_ functions.
       What  used  to be in ShadowI.c as _Xm*_1_2_ are now in Shadow.c as
       _Xm*.
       What used to be Xme*_2_0_ in DrawI.c is now Xme*.
       The Xme* that used to call _Xm*_1_2_ from Draw.c now call _Xm*.
       The  _Xm*  that  used  to call Xme* from Obso1_2.c are replaced by
       Shadow.c.
       Some  cleanup  of  formatting and argument names in DrawP.h (both)
       and Draw.c.
     * TextF got some updates, and should work better now
     * Fixed  "nervousness"  in  DrawnB's; better labelString handling in
       DrawnB's
     * reset TopPosition in XmListDeleteAllItems
     * NULL protection in List.c
     * Better  handling  of cascade (and other) menus; should work better
       with xmgrace
     * Added   XmSHADOW_ETCHED_IN_DASH  and  _OUT_DASH  from  (1.2.5)  to
       Separator.c
     * Internals  of  Scrollbar changed significantly, should work better
       now (including processingDirection )
     * indicatorOn converter patch
     * implented NEXT_KEY in Protocols.c (huh?)
     * Arrows from 1.2 and 2.0 now share more code
     * FileSB now copies FS_DirMask if it changes in set_values
     * changes in Form handling to work better with Ted (a text editor)
     * Added Rob McMullen's SciPlot widget to libXlt.
     * Added Rob McMullen's ListTree widget to libXlt.
     * Add configure.in stuff for conditionally building XDND support.
     * Configuration changed so EditRes is no longer triggered by whether
       or  not  you  ask a production build. From now on, you ask EditRes
       support  by  --with-editres  if  you  are  performing a production
       build. A non-production build defaults to supporting EditRes.

Release 0.87.0
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Geometry fixes for FileSB, Frame, Form, ScrollBar and others
     * Labels no longer croak when given a None pixmap
     * MenuShell: Call popup/popdown callbacks.
     * RowColumns no longer croak when all their children are unmanaged
     * MenuShells created by applications instead of the library now have
       the correct grabs and hooks installed
     * Implemented XmTextRemove, changed XmTextCut and XmTextSetString

Release 0.86.9
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Overall, we're relying more on our test suite now to tell us about
       problems,  and  we're  beginning  to take steps towards automating
       running the tests.
     * Various B/W and resolution independence fixes from Jamie Gritton.
     * Fixed unreleased mouse grab in menushellpopdown routines
     * Absolute tons of geometry fixes from Rick Scott
     * Broke test programs out of main tree
     * Fixed a double callback in bulletinboards
     * Fixed Drag 'n Drop so that you could turn it off with resources
     * Fixed quite a few memory leaks
     * Added  a  couple of convenience functions such as _XmObjectLock(w)
       and  _XmObjectUnlock(w)  which you can use to lock the application
       context  of  that  widget  in  a multi-threaded environment. These
       functions  are defined such that they can safely be used even when
       compiling  against  X11r5.  According  to  a  reply to my query on
       comp.windows.x  (by  David  Lewis),  essentially  all  convenience
       functions  should be protected by these. General explanation (very
       little though) is in the Xt documentation, secion 7.12. Can anyone
       clarify ?
     * Toggle  Button  (widget  and  gadget)  now  have  a  third  state,
       XmINDETERMINATE, in a 2.0 compliant LessTif.
     * The 2.0 tree release breaks binary compatibility with all releases
       prior  to  0.86.5  of the lesstif libraries because of a change to
       the  VendorSEP.h.  All programs which use dynamically linked M*tif
       2.0  compatible  lesstif  libraries will have to be re-compiled to
       use  the  new  libraries.  If  you  don't wish to do this, see the
       --enable-back-compat option of configure.
     * Cloned ArrowBP.h, ArrowBGP.h, ToggleBGP.h, DrawingAP.h, ManagerP.h
       and  PrimitiveP.h  for  the  2.0 tree and added new 2.0 resources.
       This also breaks binary compatibility for the 2.0 tree.
     * Added  new  file  Direction.c to the 2.0 tree. This contains stubs
       for the XmDirection family of routines.
     * Add  a  couple  of  files  and  links, and perform some cleanup so
       Lessdox  doesn't contain so many broken HTML links. Note that this
       adds  documentation  to LessTif about a number of Xt functions and
       widgets. The documentation only refers to the Xt docs though.
     * Build system changes require the following tools and versions:
          + Autoconf version 2.12
          + ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.2
          + automake (GNU automake) 1.3
     * Fixed   values   of   enum   in  CutPaste.h.  This  breaks  binary
       compatibility for both 1.2 and 2.0.

Release 0.86.5
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Button ArmAndActivate action re-work.
     * BulletinBoard default button processing.
     * Initial BulletinBoard geometry.
     * DialogShell children positioning.
     * MenuBar  sizing in MainWindow's, they now wrap to multiple rows if
       they are resized too narrow.
     * Numerous improvements to Text and TextField.
     * Improved color handling.
     * Plugged numerous memory leaks, especially in XmStrings and labels.

Release 0.86
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Implemented XmStringCompare w/o calling XmStringByteCompare, since
       that wasn't sufficient.
     * Mozilla now has sorted directory and file lists!
     * Implemented undocumented feature xmUseVersion.
     * Inserted patch by Gary Aviv to implement XmPanedWindow better.
     * An  autoconf  macro, AC_FIND_MOTIF, was added to the distribution,
       in  scripts/autoconf/.  This  macro  is  based on a similar one by
       Andreas  Zeller  (ICE_FIND_MOTIF), but it presents other variables
       with which to build your Makefiles.
     * Some small changes for 2.0 builds
     * Traversal fix for ScrolledW. This from Karsten Jenson.
     * Some geometry tweaks for BulletinBoard
     * XmTextField.c:XmTextFieldInsert()   -  We  were  not  setting  the
       CursorPos  before  the  insert  so the text was not getting to the
       correct  pos. This was showing in ml's save file dialog. It's been
       this way for a long time, I just got tired of it.
     * Various  patches  from Stephen Gallimore on XmStrings, double line
       separators,  internal  widget  names  in  FileSB, _XmGetColors and
       _XmAccessColorData.
     * Now use integer math for Lists in list.c

Release 0.85.3
     _________________________________________________________________

   NOTE: This release breaks binary compatibility with all releases prior
   to  0.85.3  of  the  lesstif  libraries  because  of  a  change to the
   indicatorType  resource  of  ToggleButtons.  All  programs  which  use
   dynamically  linked  lesstif  libraries will have to be re-compiled to
   use  the  new  libraries.  If  you  don't  wish  to  do  this, see the
   --enable-back-compat option of configure.
     * Extensive  changes  to  FileSB. Focus handling is now in line with
       the Motif spec
     * Handles cascade buttons w/o children correctly
     * Removed several spurious shadows and geometry problems
     * Changed  menu  wrapping  code  in  RowColumn again (does this work
       right now?)
     * FileSB  and  Selection  Box  dialogs  in  general now have correct
       behavior of their buttons.
     * and more!

Release 0.85.3

   NOTE: This release breaks binary compatibility with all releases prior
   to  0.85.3  of  the  lesstif  libraries  because  of  a  change to the
   indicatorType  resource  of  ToggleButtons.  All  programs  which  use
   dynamically  linked  lesstif  libraries will have to be re-compiled to
   use  the  new  libraries.  If  you  don't  wish  to  do  this, see the
   --enable-back-compat  option  of  configure. Another Note: Some of the
   items  in this list may in fact regard changes after 0.85.3 because of
   a  breakdown in the release script process. I hope those problems have
   been  fixed  and  we're  back  on track now. In any case, this list is
   meant   to   be   informative  rather  than  normative.  The  detailed
   information is available from the cvs logs anyway.
     * Add   the  flag  --enable-back-compat  to  provide  other  project
       maintainers with a way to build to the original Lesstif ABI.
     * Scrollbar patches to make Mozilla happier
     * preliminary Drag & Drop support
     * Cascade button now works properly with no submenu
     * Fixes to form for some obscure cases
     * Cleaned up list geometry
     * Extensive changes to FileSB based on test results
     * New release number format
     * Small fix to MessageBox
     * Preliminary Drag and Drop support from Waider
     * Scrolled Window patches from Karsten Jenson
     * Geometry fixes to the List Widget.
     * Add  check  for in configure.in to be able to safely include it in
       lib/Xm/misc.c. Requested by Alexander Mai, probably for OS/2.
     * Add  XmONE_OF_MANY_ROUND  which  is  required  in Motif 2.0. wxftp
       doesn't    compile    without    it.    This    does   not   break
       --enable-back-compat.
     * (OSF/Motif   2.0   compatibility)   Frame.c   :  add  support  for
       XmNframeChildType  which  does  the  same  thing  as  the obsolete
       XmNchildType. This requires a bit of hacking.

Release 0.85.1
     _________________________________________________________________

     * configure.in  :  use  newer  libtool 1.2 way of specifying default
       (i.e. don't generate static library)
     * configure.in  : changed the values for detecting man2html from 0,1
       to no,yes. This may break your build if you've kept a config.cache
       from a previous release. Either remove config.cache, or change the
       value  that  reflects presence of man2html from 0 to no (or from 1
       to yes).
     * Reorganized the drawing functions in Xm/Shadow.c and Xm-2.0/Draw.c
       so  changes to the 1.2 drawing functions will make it into the 2.0
       branch.
     * Added function ComputeArrowSize to Xm-2.0/ComboBox.c. This routine
       should now calculate the arrow size properly.
     *

Release 0.85
     _________________________________________________________________

     * TextField  clipboard ops now programmed with XmClipboard API. This
       was  half  done  in  0.84  (and disabled through #ifdef), now it's
       enabled.
     * Copied the experience and also used the XmClipboard API in XmText.

Release 0.84
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Several  fixes  for  [6]Mozilla,  which now works rather well with
       LessTif.
     * Significant  changes  to  the  way  XmFileSelectionBox treated its
       filesystem  access  functions.  Getting  it  to  work with Mozilla
       proved  to  be  a good way of figuring out how they're supposed to
       work.
     * Merged  Traits  stuff from lib/Xm-2.0/Text.c and TextF.c back into
       lib/Xm/Text.c and TextF.c . Keeping two versions in sync where the
       only difference between them are a couple of traits definitions (~
       2% of the source) is silly.
     * There  are  a  couple  of man pages being installed, both as "man"
       source  and  as  HTML.  The  man to HTML conversion happens with a
       slightly   modified  version  of  Debian's  man2html.  The  slight
       modification  is  just  so  I  can  tell  it  to  filter  (as in a
       traditional  Unix  filter),  not  just  to  serve underneath a web
       server.
     * Upgraded  to  libtool-1.2.  This only involves two files: ltconfig
       and ltmain.sh .
     * Put  one documentation file per widget in doc/lessdox/widgets as a
       start  for replacing the long defunct Lessdox. The conversion from
       man to HTML (as indicated above) is built into the nightly script,
       and  a  copy  is made to the web pages, so the HTML for the manual
       pages is online on the Internet at
       [7]http://www.lesstif.org/Lessdox/.  The  man to HTML stuff should
       also  still  be  built  into  the release scripts so releases will
       contain this stuff as well.
     * Finally  found  out  why  PageUp  and  PageDown  wouldn't  work as
       expected  in  nedit. Turns out to have to do with the Virtual Keys
       and  a cache in Xt. (I think.) If anybody knows of a better way to
       solve this, please tell us.
     * Several fixes to XmText.
     * Small  fix so popup menus stay visible when clicking MB3 (usually)
       instead of just holding the button down.
     * Implemented  clipboard  operations for XmTextField. Cleanup of the
       code, to use XmClipboard* API, is in progress.

Release 0.83
     _________________________________________________________________

     * New  configuration  based  on  automake, autoconf, libtool. All of
       these  are  GNU  tools  available  from  the  usual sites, such as
       [8]ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu"  but  you don't need to have any
       of  these  for  using or building LessTif unless you want to alter
       LessTif  itself  (adding directories, files to treat by configure,
       ...).
     * The  new  configuration won't change anything for you; if you want
       to build LessTif you still only need to run
        configure add your options here
        make

     * If   however   you   change  anything  to  a  makefile.am,  or  to
       configure.in,  or  if  you're running Cygwin32 or OS/2 (once these
       things get ported) you'll have to run the following sequence :
        autoheader      creates include/LTconfig.h.in
        automake -i     converts Makefile.am into Makefile.in
        autoconf        converts Makefile.in into Makefile
        configure       add your options here
        make

     * In  the M*tif 2.0 compatibility area, a couple of things happened.
       The  XmeDrawArrow  routine  was improved. It now acts as the M*tif
       2.0 version of the function. All XmeDraw* routines have been moved
       from  Xme.c to Draw.c. Removed the link Shadows.c and added a file
       Obso1_2.c for 1.2 routines deemed obsolete in 2.0. Added new tests
       for  the XmeDrawArrow routine. Also, the size calculation routines
       of the XmComboBox widget were improved.
     * The  scripts/mmf  will  rebuild  the  Makefile in the directory in
       which  your  run  the script. It's much faster than rebuilding all
       the  Makefiles  by running configure on the whole distribution. Be
       careful  when  using  it  after modifying configure.in though; you
       will end up with an inconsistent set of Makefiles.
     * There  is  now a XmPanedWindowWidget in the 2.0 directory as well;
       it  is nearly the same as the 1.2 version : the only difference is
       an additional resource (XmNorientation). SashAction (interactively
       moving the panes) isn't 100% foolproof yet. [9]Xinvest uses this.
     * Notebook  (also  in  2.0,  see  below) is beginning to do sensible
       things.  It  uses  some of the traits in sensible ways, and can be
       used  to  display pages and page through them using both a SpinBox
       and tabs.
     * For  those  of you who are using a binary distribution of LessTif:
       there   are   currently  no  2.0  widgets  in  those;  our  binary
       distributions  are  1.2 based for now. You can build a 2.0 version
       from source by running
        configure --enable-build-20     more options
        make

     * Placement of the XmComboBox scrolled list is now correct. However,
       the  initial  size  calculation of the scrolled list is incorrect.
       Added  a  new  internal routine called XmeShellSmartPlacement (see
       file  PopupUtil.c).  This  routine  attempts  to  keep  the  shell
       completely  visible  before  XmePopup*  is called. Also, added two
       XmePopup* routines to wrap the XtPopup family of routines.
     * More   2.0   stuff...   Added   header   file   DrawP.h   to   the
       include/Motif-2.0/Xm directory. Removed Xme* function declarations
       from DrawP.h in the include/Motif-1.2/Xm directory. These routines
       do not exist in the 1.2 tree and would result in unresolved symbol
       errors if used.
     * You   can   build  from  other  directories  than  LessTif's  root
       directory. This is what I did on my system (from LessTif's root) :
        mkdir DEBUG
        cd DEBUG
        ../configure  --prefix=/usr/lesstif20g --enable-debug --enable-build-20
 --enable-nonstandard-conversions
        make
        cd ..
        mkdir PRODUCTION
        cd PRODUCTION
        ../configure  --prefix=/usr/lesstif20 --disable-debug --enable-build-20
 --enable-nonstandard-conversions --enable-production
        make

     * Added  a  couple  of Makefiles to also install doc/www.lesstif.org
       when   doing   a   "make  install".  Consequence  is  that  binary
       distributions will also contain the information from the web site.
       (At least a snapshot of it taken at release time.)
     * Added  a  couple of manual pages donated by [10]Ray Dassen and put
       them in doc/lessdox/clients.
     * Added   Makefiles   so   the   manpages  above  are  installed  in
       PREFIX/LessTif/doc/man and PREFIX/LessTif/doc/html .

Release 0.82
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Build  support  for  the  Cygnus  Win32  environment.  May  not be
       complete yet.
     * Finally  implemented  a  default functions for TopShadowPixmap and
       HighlightPixmap in Primitive and Manager.
     * 2.0  compatible  widgets  :  GrabShell  (internal widget), SpinBox
       should work reasonably.
     * 2.0  :  Traits  also implemented (which is not a big deal), but no
       work  has  been  done  on  adding  traits to widgets, except where
       needed for SpinBox.
     * Peter Pilgrim gave us the basics for XmPartOffsets. Thanks, Peter.
     * Build  : add run-time library path options (-R on Solaris, NetBSD;
       -Wl,-rpath on OSF/1).
     * Added  the  web pages for the LessTif site to CVS. Now you can see
       in   lesstif-*/doc/www.lesstif.org  what  you  normally  get  from
       [11]http://www.lesstif.org
     * Add  string to widget converter. Apparently Motif 1.2 has this but
       previous versions didn't.
     * Various  fixes  to  XmText;  one  of  which  was the I-beam cursor
       overwriting initially displayed text.
     * Build support for SlackWare and RedHat.
     * Work  on  popup menus has led to a revamping of the menu system in
       general.  Popup  menus  should  show better behavior now, although
       keyboard  focus  isn't  100%  yet.  Grabbing  in general should be
       handled a little better now (I'm interested if people get messages
       about  "XtWarning:  Asked to remove widget not on the grab list").
       Mnemonics  and  accelerators  should  behave  better. Option menus
       should also behave better, in general.

Release 0.81
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Added  stuff-to-string  converters  to the Editres functions built
       into  LessTif.  Also  fixed the bug that prevented it from passing
       getting  values. You'll also need a small patch on your editres to
       use  this. (See below.) After that, you'll be able to query widget
       values with editres.

       All of this code was donated by Peter Derr

     * Many more geometry fixes.
     * The  code  has  been struck by the mad indenter. Most core library
       code will now have a consistent look.
     * Various fixes for xmcd - see KNOWN_BUGS.
     * In  the Motif 2.0 compatibility area, a couple of things happened.
       Traits  were  implemented,  a  XmSpinBox  widget  has  an  initial
       implementation, and a couple of widgets (XmTextField, VendorShell)
       were  copied  from  the  1.2  directory  to  cooperate better with
       XmSpinBox. (Read: they support traits).
     * Build fixes for a 2.0 compatible library.

Release 0.80 alpha
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Work  on selecting text, copy/paste, ... in XmText has begun. It's
       somewhat functional : primary selections seem to work, not all key
       combinations  for the keyboard traversal business may be supported
       yet   though.   (Please   send  E-mail  to  lesstif@hungry.com  if
       anything's   missing.)   Nothing   has  been  done  for  secondary
       selections yet.
     * Support  for SetValues and GetValues on resources in the input and
       output objects of XmText is implemented now. Not all resources are
       treated  yet  though (especially SetValues), but at least changing
       the fontList seems to work. Mxgdb demonstrates that GetValues also
       works.
     * Lots and lots of work on geometry.
     * Added  a Makefile target "install-list" everywhere, which prints a
       list of files that the "install" target will install.
     * Based on this, created stuff in scripts/FreeBSD to create a binary
       package  that can be installed with pkg_add(8) easily. Waiting for
       someone to do similar stuff for Linux.
     * Drag  and  Drop  is  "primitive",  at best. Do not be surprised if
       Btn2Click on labels and subclasses cause you problems.

Release 0.79
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Fix build problems in 0.78, new Form code.

Release 0.78
     _________________________________________________________________

     * New directory structure to allow for CDE and 2.0 widgets.
     * For  testing  purposes,  the Interleaf ComboBox widget is added to
       the  Xm-CDE  directory. If someone cares to replace or enhance it,
       please  do  so. I'm no legal expert, but enforcing LGPL license on
       LessTif  if part of it is covered by the license Interleaf has put
       in,  might  be  contradictory. (Note that the Interleaf license is
       more liberal than LGPL.)
     * A version of ComboBox with "dt" changed into "xm" is also put into
       the  Xm-2.0 directory for testing purposes. Similar comments apply
       : we may want to replace this sucker.
     * New version of configure.cmd (for OS/2) from Michael Holzapfel.
     * Layout  details  (remember  the  "Pixel  Police"  ?)  are  finally
       understood and are getting into place in ScrolledWindow.
     * Drag  and  Drop  is  somewhat  working  at this point. We don't do
       PREREGISTER  (because  nobody  has  documented  it),  so  it  gets
       emulated  by  the  DYNAMIC  protocol.  Cross  application dragging
       doesn't work yet.
     * Improvements  to  the menu system. Option menus look a bit better,
       popup menus have improved and grab balancing is close to being OK.

Release 0.78
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Started   rework   on   XmMainWindow  following  similar  work  on
       XmScrolledWindow. Compile with -DNEW_MAINW to enable.
     * Added stuff that'll allow applications to be compiled using imake.
       LessTif  itself  continues  to  be  configured using a "configure"
       script generated with GNU Autoconf.
     * Added  DEBUG_FILE  variable to DebugUtil.c so you can direct debug
       output  to  a  file easily. It's faster than scrolling in an xterm
       window.  Also  apps  like  ML  hang  when you send stuff to stderr
       because  they catch stderr and throw whatever they find in a Motif
       (err LessTif) XmText widget. Chicken and egg problem. Try using it
       with setenv DEBUG_FILE /tmp/lesstif.%p
     * Improvements to the menuing system.
     * DragDrop  has  been started. Drag cursors are about the only thing
       that work, though.
     * Major  changes  to the source tree layout are upcoming in the next
       release.

Release 0.76
     _________________________________________________________________

     * The  clipboard has mostly been implemented, but it does still have
       a few problems.
     * The   implementation   of  XmScrolledWindow  has  been  completely
       reworked. Results should be visible in [13]plan and xdiff.
     * There  is  a  new  #define,  NONSTANDARD_EXTENSIONS.  This  is not
       enabled   by  default.  If  enabled,  it  will  allow  lesstif  to
       transparently convert a string to a pixmap for resource converters
       (which  many  people feel Motif should have done a long time ago).
       Thanks to Peter Williams for this patch.

Release 0.75
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Public release.

Release 0.71
     _________________________________________________________________

     * XmRegion code is getting there. -- Chris
     * New List widget. Thanks Blake and Jon!
     * The  clients/uil  directory  is  being reworked completely. You'll
       notice that all the C++ stuff is gone. Thanks Geoff.
     * Configure was extended so you can choose not to compile the testXm
       and/or  testMrm  directory  trees. Use configure -help to find out
       more.  Configure also recovers if testXm or testMrm are not there.
       -- Danny
     * Default  for  the  new  options  --with-testXm  and --with-testMrm
       changed  to  *No* meaning tests only get compiled if you want them
       to. -- Danny
     * Traversal/Focus/Navigation  has  been  completely  reworked;  They
       should  function  much  better  these days. This change was fairly
       massive,  so some things are surely broken. Feedback requested. --
       Mitch
     * XmFontList  and  XmString have new implementations; they should be
       more faithful to their Motif equivalents.
     * LessTif should also work on OS/2 now. Thanks Michael Holzapfel and
       Christoph Jaeschke.
     * Rewrite of mwm. It's much better behaved now, with most appearance
       resources  and  a  good  bit  of the behavior resources supported.
       Transients,  when  they  go away, now give the focus back to their
       parents (which might help with the locking focus problem sometimes
       seen in fvwm). SYSTEM_MODAL dialog support is more or less in, but
       cascading  system  modals  will not be well behaved. The parser is
       much  more friendly, and shouldn't have any problems with multiple
       menus.  Multiscreen  support  is  in  (although  you can't specify
       resources  for  each screen, but global resources work fine). Most
       of  the  Motif  oddities  with  window  properties  are supported,
       including  run-time  update of the properties, application defined
       window  menus,  f.send_msg, etc. Dialogs for quitting, restarting,
       and  toggling  custom behavior are in (with some drawing problems,
       but  they  do  work).  As  always, feedback on what works and what
       doesn't   is   desired.   See  the  files  clients/mwm/README  and
       clients/mwm/Mwm for details. -- Mitch
     * Pulldown menus work a bit better. -- Peter
     * Many geometry management fixes (esp. in RowColumn). -- Danny
     * The  debugSources  resource  was  removed;  only  the  environment
       variable is left in the code.
setenv DEBUGSOURCES Command.c:SelectionBox.c
       should do the trick.
     * Dialog modality is partially implemented. Thanks Harald.

Release 0.50
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Option menus are now in (somewhat). -- Chris
     * Menu  Gadget  support is almost up to the level of Widgets. Use it
       with  caution, as it may lock your server. Mosaic 2.7b2 menu items
       are selectable now. -- Chris
     * Debugging  info from LessTif can be enabled by setting environment
       variable  DEBUGSOURCES or the equivalent resource to a list of the
       source   files  that  you  want  to  see  info  from.  test2  -xrm
       "*debugSources: Command.c:SelectionBox.c" -- Danny
     * Quick  and Dirty implementation of internationalisation (i18n) for
       TextField.  Works  on  XFree86  3.1.2 on FreeBSD, and on HPUX with
       X11R5. -- Danny
     * First  cut  at  FastSubclassing.  Starting  rework  of GadgetCache
       objects  to  be  more  in  line with Motif. SyntheticResources and
       Resolution Independence are in, but a bit shaky (maybe). Many more
       import/export  procs  need  to  be  written.  Both Chris and I are
       working  on  the  BaseClass stuff -- quite a lot to do there. More
       mwm  improvements  (should  be more stable on more platforms now).
       Need  to work on "shields up" for modality and multiscreen support
       for  it.  If  you experience core dumps with mwm, check and see if
       you  compiled  the  library  --  on  some platforms, modifying the
       library a running executable uses can cause this (Solaris, Linux),
       as  they  think it's pure code, and don't swap it. The alternative
       is  to  link  mwm  statically.  Oh,  and  I got rid of those pesky
       warnings in LTEditres.c. -- Mitch
     * GeoUtils  have  (somewhat) been implemented. They still need work,
       though. -- Mitch
     * Pulldown menu grabbing is in the works. It kinda works for Cascade
       button  WIDGETS,  not  at all for gadgets yet. In the gadget case,
       it's  #ifdef-fed  out. In the widget case it is not. If your menus
       appear  to  freeze, pressing Escape usually helps. If it does not,
       please send me detailed info. -- Danny (u27113@kb.be)

Release 0.36
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Initial version of Mwm is in. It's a bit rough, so don't expect to
       much.
     * Menu  dragging  is  sort  of working better. This only applies for
       widget,  so  menus that use gadgets (such as those in Mosaic) will
       not work. This will change quickly, so be patient.
     * Initial TearOffButton stuff
     * Fixed bug in configure.in for NetBSD/FreeBSD using GNU make
     * Added support for linux-aout shared libaries. Thanks JanJaap!
     * New Gadget Cache and ExtObj stuff.
     * Better (more in line) geometry management in the RowColumn widget,
       the PanedWindow, and the Frame.
     * Lots o changes in Form, MessageBox, BulletinBoard.
     * Rob  McMullen's  TextField  widget  has  been folded into lesstif.
       Thanks Rob!
     * RepTypes are actually working now. How come nobody told me :)?
     * Drag and Drop is beginning to take shape.

     * The  configuration  management stuff should be working much better
       and  more  portably  across  all  the supported architectures. For
       those  of you with Free/Net BSD, you can now use BSD make to build
       lesstif  for  your  machine.  Check  out the INSTALL file for more
       information on configuration.
     * Gadgets  and  Manager  widgets  now  communicate  in  a  much more
       Motif-like  fashion  (with  the  _XmDispatchGadgetInput function).
       Gadgets  specify  an  event  mask to tell their parent what events
       they're  interested in. Also, more gadget events are handled, like
       the enter/leave events.
     * The  beginning  of the default button handling in dialogs is in --
       in the ParentProcess stuff.
     * The list widget should be a little less problematic now.
     * Included  John  Richardson's  patch  for XmLabelWidget/Gadget. Now
       label behavior is much better.
     * _XmDrawArrow (Mitch's baby :) is behaving itself better lately.
     * We're  starting  to  go  after some of the more underlying things,
       like  the  GeoUtils  and  Traversal  stuff.  Don't expect miracles
       though.
     * Fixed some problems with the Fontlist stuff returning NULL.
     * Lot's  more  stuff  that I've forgotten. If I missed something you
       sent in, please resend it (after seeing if it wasn't fixed another
       way :)

Release 0.3
     _________________________________________________________________

     * The  list widget is currently undergoing a reworking. Please don't
       expect much, but I'm working on it.
     * ScrolledWindows are working better. Thanks Mitch.
     * Applied  countless million patches :) Some didn't make it in. I'll
       try to get to those soon.
     * memcpy  and  memmove are not used anymore. We now include Xfuncs.h
       and  use  bcopy. If your system has a better way of doing it, it's
       probably set in there.
     * Configuration system should be working better.
     * makedepend  is  now used for generating dependencies. If you don't
       have  it,  comment  out the lines in libXm and libMrm that use it.
       Lesstif  will eventually be packaged with makedepend so that it'll
       build it if it can't find yours.
     * Scales  and Scrollbars are basically done (we think) barring minor
       cosmetic changes. Thanks Mitch and Peter.
     * Default  buttons are now drawn differently in bulletin boards (and
       subclasses). They're not correct, but they're drawn differently.
     * Code  for  handling  unspecified width/heights has been changed to
       check the request widget's width and height, and now it checks for
       0, instead of XmUNSPECIFIED.

Release 0.2
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Updates for MessageBox/BulletinBoard
     * Fixed primitive widgets unhighlighting themselves.
     * Better scale/scrollbar widgets -- patches from Mitch.
     * Added  _XmClearBorders.  This  function  should  be  used to erase
       shadows  and  highlights.  Primitives  now  call it to erase their
       highlights when their parent is not a manager.
     * Added default button shadows to PushButtonWidgets
     * Added  shared  library support for HPUX 9, IRIX, Linux (ELF only),
       FreeBSD,  NetBSD,  DEC OSF/1, SunOS 4, Solaris 2, AIX3, DG/UX 5. I
       want  your  input  on  the current scheme. Does everybody like it?
       Thanks to Xiaokun Zhu for his help.
     * Fixed problems with missing \n\'s in Transltns.c
     * Fixed  x_includes  and  x_libraries  not  being  set on IRIX after
       configuration
     * Moved to include'ing a template makefile for the tests. Made their
       Makefiles much smaller.

Release 0.1
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Changed  lesstif  to  use  autoconf  instead  of  imake  This will
       hopefully   make  it  easier  to  configure  stuff  for  different
       platforms  so  that the globbing stuff works correctly. Along with
       this  change,  however, is the new job of getting shared libraries
       built  for  each platform. If you have an idea on how we should go
       about doing this, please let me ([14]toshok@hungry.com) know.
     * The  glob  stuff  has  changed  to be in the same directory as the
       other  libXm  stuff,  and  the  function  names  have  changed  to
       _Lesstif_glob,   etc.   The   filenames   have  also  changed,  to
       LTglob{.c,.h} and LTfnmatch{.c,.h}
     * From  this  release on, libXmu need not be linked in with lesstif.
       This   is   because  we  now  include  the  _XEditresCheckMessages
       function,  calling  it  _LesstifEditresCheckMessages. The relevant
       file is LTEditresCom.c.
     * This  release contains lots of fixes to the form widget from Danny
       et  al.,  and  a  new  AtomManager  from Harald Albrecht, which is
       doubtlessly   more   efficient   than  the  previous  incarnation.
       Excellent work Harald!
     * Vendor   shell   now   responsed   to  the  XmNmwmDecorations  and
       XmNmwmFunctions  resources.  If  you have mwm running, you can now
       specify   programmatically  the  decorations  and  functions  that
       toplevel shells have. Neato.
     * From this release on, I'm now going to start using numeric release
       numbers,  (0.1,  0.2,  etc.)  so  that when shared libraries start
       working,   we   can  have  a  direct  correspondence  between  the
       distribution and the shared libraries.
     * The Label widget's insensitive GC is now properly created.
     * CascadeButtonGadgets  now draw themselves in the proper color, and
       are properly highlighted by XmCascadeButtonHighlight.
     * The  menu  system  doesn't grab you server anymore, so you can run
       programs  that  have  menus without fear of locking you server. Xt
       grabs  are  used, however, which is the way things should work (in
       part.  Server  grabs  are necessary, but I'll get to that once the
       toolkit grabs are functioning properly.)
     * Most  of  the correct Motif translations have been integrated into
       lesstif.  You'll  probably  see  lots  of  warning  messages about
       lesstif not being able to find an action. These will go away soon.
     * I  hear  we're  going to be written up again in next month's Linux
       Journal. Great work guys!

Release Sep12-1524
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Most  widgets  now  have their correct motif translations. Not all
       the specified actions are present, but those will come along.
     * Pixmap  top and bottom shadows are supported now, both for manager
       and primitive widgets.
     * The  primitive  widget  in  general is almost complete. One gaping
       lack  of  functionality  is the resolution independence offered by
       synthetic resources.
     * Better  set_values  methods  for  some  widgets. They now don't do
       silly things, like checking the request against new...
     * More complete interaction between mwm and XmVendorShell, including
       client decorations and functions (see the testXm/vendor testcases)
     * Better XmTranslateKey (actually, it's still rather broken..)
     * Buttons  now  draw  themselves better in menus (i.e., no highlight
       rectangles) -- I think...
     * Blinking cursors for XmTextField (yay!)
     * Updates and fixes to many, many things...
     * I'm  holding  off  on putting in the autoconf stuff until I get it
       functioning properly, or at least better...

Release Sep01-1407
     _________________________________________________________________

     * PushButton  now  correctly  catches  the  ButtonUp  event when the
       pointer  is  moved  out  and back into the widget, as do the other
       button  widgets, withough the in_window field. Gadgets also handle
       this correctly now, through their parent's manager translations.
     * PushButtons  now  fill  in their interior when fillOnArm is set to
       true.
     * ArrowButton gadgets now draw themselves correctly, not at (0,0).
     * Many more fixes to widget code to use the #define'd access macros.
     * Pixmaps  are  drawn  more  correctly  in label subclasses -- i.e.,
       they're  centered properly (well, one or two pixels off, but who's
       counting) when the widget is smaller than the pixmap.
     * Form and MessageBox updates from Danny
     * Scale updates from Mitch
     * Fixed  NASTY  bug  with  some  default  procedures.  The offending
       functions  used  XtDisplay()  instead  of  XtDisplayOfObject()  --
       they're  supposed  to  work  with  both widgets and gadgets -- and
       these would cause SIGSEGV's on my box, except they would happen in
       between  the  call  to class_part_initialize and initialize. Ugh..
       Actually,  I've fixed various places where XtDisplay() is used for
       gadgets, like in the SeparatorGadget and ToggleButtonGadget expose
       routines...
     * We're  now  using  the translations supplied in the mot.trans file
       (testXm/misc/mot.trans),   generated  by  Mitch  Miers,  for  most
       widgets.  I'll  add  the  rest for the next release. Please nobody
       send me them as a patch, I'll enter them myself.
     * Fixed  bug  in SeparatorG that was using the XmUNSPECIFIED for the
       direction  that  its oriented in (e.g., width = XmUNSPECIFIED when
       orientation = XmHORIZONTAL).
     * Gadget seem to be working with MessageBoxes now... Dialogs! Yay!
     * The  menu  system  is in need of some overhaul and much pencil and
       paper  work.  The  next  release may not affect too much more than
       that  (well,  I won't be working on much more than the menu system
       and traversal)
     * I  have  not  yet  had a chance to try out lesstif on DEC's public
       alpha machine. There were some problems with out of scope function
       prototypes  causing memory alignment problems. These are not fixed
       (to  my knowledge) in this release. I'll look into it for the next
       release.
     * I've cooked together a configure scheme for lesstif, which I'll be
       patching  into  the  source tree something this next week. It will
       handle  most  of  the system dependent things much better than the
       imake system we're using now.
     * Wow... A lot has changed :)

Release Aug23-2257
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Converted  the primitive widgets to use the "correct" preprocessor
       symbols    (e.g.,   Prim_ShadowThickness(w),   XtWidth(w),   etc.)
       Actually,  I got most of the way through this... Too much work for
       one night. I'll finish up the rest for the next release.
     * Pervasive   change  from  using  strdup()  to  XtNewString(),  and
       Xt{Malloc,Calloc,Free,Realloc},   instead   of   their  C  library
       counterparts.
     * Re-engineered  the  event  handling of the PushButton widget. This
       removed  the  funky and unnecessary "in_window" instance variable.
       The  only problem appears when the select button is pressed inside
       the  pushbutton,  and then the pointer is moved outside the window
       and  then  back in -- the ButtonRelease event is not passed to the
       widget.  Moving  the  pointer outside the window and releasing, as
       well as clicking inside the window work, though. This should be an
       easy, boneheaded fix, somewhere in the Arm action (I think).
     * Preliminary  ImageCache  and  Pixmap cache, which (as far as I can
       tell) works like Motif's. The label pixmap code now uses XCopyArea
       again,  so  you  can  get  into problems with pixmaps of different
       depths  than the widget's window. This behavior exists in Motif as
       well, so it's not a Lesstif bug.
     * Atom Manager now does client side caching of atoms.
     * New  testcases  for  Xmos (contributed by Mitch Miers) and for the
       ImageCache  routines.  Hey,  on  my  Indy, testXm/imagecache/test1
       looks  exactly  the same under Motif and lesstif. There still some
       problems  with  traversal  (like, it isn't there) and redrawing on
       expose events, but initially it looks identical :)
     * A  new  resource  converter  for  XmFontList's  is  in, so you can
       specify  fontlists  in  resource files. Note: I've only tried this
       for   single  entry  fontlists,  without  tags.  More  testing  is
       necessary here..

Release Aug14-1709
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Sheesh.  I  was in a hurry this morning to get the new release out
       and  got bit by RCS again. I've modified my distribution script so
       that it now checks everything in before tarring it up.
     * Also, I've included the latest Shadow.c patch from Jeremy Allison.
       Thanks Jeremy!

Release Aug14-1051
     _________________________________________________________________

     * First off, I've moved back to school for the semester -- starts in
       two  weeks.  Much  of  the  work I did this summer on a linux box,
       displaying  to  an HP X terminal doesn't work now -- going from an
       HP735 to an Indy :( It seems to be focused mainly in the RowColumn
       widget.  I'll fix this for the next release, but for now, it seems
       to be pretty broken.
     * Included  all  the  patches  (I  hope)  sent  to me since the last
       release, including those from the Pixel Police (tm) :)
     * TextFields  and  Text  widgets  should be working better thanks to
       Danny, Mitch, myself and others. For one thing, nasty unterminated
       strings  should  not be present anymore. Also, the handling of the
       initial size of text fields has been fixed.
     * The  "input"  resource  on  VendorShells  is fixed so that LessTif
       programs  will  by  default accept the keyboard focus. Now you can
       actually type :)
     * Traversal  is beginning to work. For now, the behavior is limitted
       to  that  of  EXCLUSIVE tab groups (meaning that the keys move you
       around in the order of child insertion, not by screen layout. This
       should  be  easy  to  add,  but  it'll be dependant on the manager
       widget    type    (I   think).   For   an   example,   check   out
       testXm/textf/test2.c.  Run  the program, hit the down arrow in the
       window,    and    hit    return.    This   should   activate   the
       XmNactivateCallback  for the pushbutton widget. -- (Actually, this
       seems to be another piece of code that broke with the move... Your
       mileage may vary.)
     * ToggleButtons seem to be very nearly complete -- nice work guys!

Release Aug07-1618
     _________________________________________________________________

     * This  release is nothing more than the Aug07-1158 release with all
       the  gadget  header  files  included. I forgot to check them in to
       RCS, so they weren't included in the last distribution. -- Chris

Release Aug07-1158
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Selection  box,  Message  box, and File Selection Box updates from
       Danny Backx and Mitch Miers
     * The rest of the gadgets are in, thanks to Mitch Miers.
     * Event passing from XmManager to XmGadget is in now. The individual
       gadgets  do  not  all take advantage of it, though. Take a look at
       the    initialize()    and    input_dispatch    methods   of   the
       pushbuttongadget for an example how it might work.
     * Integrated the scrollbar fixes contributed by Peter van Helden.
     * The  virtual  key  bindings are working now. To get keyboard input
       for some window managers (like fvwm, mwm seems to be ok), just set
       the resource "*.input" to True. For example: 'test1 -xrm "*.input:
       True"'  will  work.  There  is  an example .motifbind file in this
       distribution   in   "example.motifbind".   Just   move   that   to
       ~/.motifbind,  and  those  bindings should work, given that you're
       not  running  mwm,  or  you haven't set the defaultVirtualBindings
       resource.
     * The  beginnings  of  keyboard  traversal  within  manager widgets.
       Actually,  the  code  properly  calls  XmProcessTraversal  in most
       cases,  but  this  function  only  prints  out the argument at the
       moment.
     * Beginnings  of  synthetic  resources  for resolution independence.
       Check out the syn_resources in Label.c for an example.
     * The  whole  menu/cascadebutton  scheme  should  be  a  little more
       bug-free now.
     * New XmCreateSimple* routines contributed by Mitch Miers.
     * The  RowColumn layout for XmWORK_AREA (at least) is broken for the
       moment. I'll get to this next week.
     * I've  taken the liberty of once again reorganizing the test trees.
       Now,  each  directory has in it files named "test1", "test2", etc.
       When  contributing  test cases, which are desparately needed right
       now,  focus  on  a  particular  feature of the widget, and write a
       concise test of that feature.
     * Hopefully I haven't missed anything. Enjoy this new release -- The
       LessTif developers.

Release Jul16-2340
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Many,  many updates from Danny Backx (who seems to be the only one
       of us with much time this summer :)
     * Made ArrowButton descendant of Primitive, instead of Label.
     * Compilation should work now on SunOS 5.4 (no testing done though).
       I've  built  LessTif  on  a  sparc  5  I've got access to at work,
       without a hitch.
     * Scale  widget  is in (Finally). Actually, this should have been in
       for  some  time now, except I lost Paul's email that contained it.
       Thanks Paul.
     * FYI  -  LessTif  was  featured  in the August issue of Unix Review
       Guess  some  people actually like the idea of a free Motif (nah...
       can't be :)
     * Administrativia  -  Releases  will  now  be  made  weekly,  either
       sometime  Sunday  night  or early Monday morning (depending on how
       much   is  going  on  at  the  time.)  I'll  try  to  follow  this
       religiously,  but  I  may  slip up every now and then (I'll have a
       really good excuse, though.)

Release Jul09-2314
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Too much to really speak of... sorry for the delay in the release.
       I  did  not (and still don't) have reliable access to an X display
       for  testing purposes. This will change in the following week, but
       testing  for this release is extremely important. Please email all
       bug reports to toshok@cs.uidaho.edu. Thanks.

Release May25-0249
     _________________________________________________________________

     * New   _XmOS  functions,  and  stubs  for  the  internal  _XmString
       functions, although there is no "internal" representation yet.
     * Updated instance variables for primitive widgets
     * Cleaned up the shadow drawing routines.
     * Making better use of ActionProcs.
     * Got  Label  Gadgets  working  finally  -- others should move along
       soon.
     * Fixed default procs so they work with gadgets as well as widgets.
     * Menu  stuff  is  working a little better now.. still no traversal,
       but the MegaButton widget now works :)
     * Bernd  Wiserner  wins the award for most contributions in a single
       day.  He contributed a new suite of Imakefiles, which allow shared
       libraries, as well as the XmUpdateDisplay function and
     * Fixed  incorrect default size for separators. Now menus look quite
       a bit better.
     * Did  a lot of work with the label. Now uses the TextRect correctly
       (I hope).
     * Shouldn't see any more SIGSEGV's with pulldown menus.
     * The  scrollbar,  my bad habit, is now drawing better, but is still
       broken.
     * Fixed many problems.
     * Not all the bug reports for the last ROTD have been fixed yet, but
       I'm working on it :)

Release May10-0051
     _________________________________________________________________

     * Changed  the  test  Imakefiles  so that they don't build the Motif
       executables by default.
     * Added Paul's shared library snippet to the Imakefiles
     * Restructure directories. Hopefully, when the source starts getting
       really big, it'll be easier to find stuff this way.
     * Label and RowColumn query_qeometry method is working better.
     * Form widget is coming along (thanks Danny Backx!)
     * New version of the List widget (Thanks Jim!)
     * Basic expose method for TextFields. When I get time, I'll probably
       hack  up Matt's Text Widget to make the TextField, unless he beats
       me to it :)

   Release Apr25-0550 -----------------
     * From  Jim Hunt - List Widget draws correctly, methods 95% written,
       actions started
     * Added most of the XmColorProc stuff.
     * New XmAll.h header -- thanks Paul.
     * New Text Widget, from Matt Crosby.
     * Moved  functions around, and added new files, more in keeping with
       the OSF's source layout (from information gleened from Xm/XmP.h)
     * Public and Private Stubs for
          + The Pixmap stuff
          + Gadgets utilities
          + Traversal
          + XmCreateVaSimple* calls
     * Big  bug  fix in FontList.c -- XmFontListAppendEntry thanks to all
       that reported it.
     * Currently  XmScrolledWindowWidgets are broken. They'll be fixed in
       the next ROTD (I hope :)
     * Most widget subclasses and programs compile now. They are still in
       the hopelessly broken phase, but they compile :)

   Release Apr23-1256 -----------------
     * Multiline and multifont labels now work.
     * Gadgets are there (well, they just #include the widget headers and
       #define some things).
     * [15]PhaserChess  actually  works  now.  I actually made some small
       changes to the PhaserChess source to get it to work, but I started
       with an unadulterated tree a few days ago, and it worked.
     * ScrolledWindows work now -- at least with the scrolling policy set
       to  XmAPPLICATION_DEFINED  and  the  scroll  bar  placement set to
       XmBOTTOM_RIGHT.
     * Harald  Albrecht's  ComboBox  widget,  which  XWord  makes use of,
       compiles  now.  It has problems running, since the list widget and
       text  field widgets don't quite work yet, but this is a pretty big
       step, since it's a subclass of Motif widgets.
     * XWord  compiles  now.  Don't take this news as more than it really
       is. It doesn't even come close to running. But it will :)

   Release Apr20-0325 -----------------
     * C++ safe header files (extern "C" { .. }).
     * Initial   XmFormWidget   work.   Should   work  if  you  only  use
       XmATTACH_FORM  or  XmATTACH_WIDGET.  It  uses an interative layout
       algorithm,  so  I  assume  it's much the same as OSF's (since I've
       seen errors about bailing out after 10000 iterations in some of my
       broken Motif code.)
     * Labels  are  very  nearly  complete.  Paul Hoad contributed pixmap
       support  for them, and I've just completed (I hope) the set_values
       method. The actions need to be done, but that's about it.
     * Jim Hunt contributed a new version of the List widget.
     * VendorShells  are actually working now, so the Virtual Binding and
       Traversal  stuff  can  now  move  forward, and some of the default
       resource procedures can be written now.
     * XmStrings  (via  XmStringCreateLtoR  can now be used with multiple
       lines.
     * Menu  fixes  --  they're working better, but still not quite right
       (i.e. no pointer or keyboard grabs or traversal).
     * PhaserChess is actually playable now -- try it out.

   Release Apr10-1917 -----------------
     * MenuBars   are   very   close   to   working.  This  includes  the
       CascadeButton stuff, MenuShell stuff, and the RowColumn stuff.
     * RowColumns in general work a lot better than before. They actually
       make use of the RepType facilities now, so you can specify packing
       resources (for example) in resource files.
     * PhaserChess  (another  hungry  product)  compiles  and  links with
       LessTif  now,  but it still doesn't work properly yet -- there are
       problems  in some of the set_values code and the Text widget isn't
       functioning properly yet.
     * Mosaic  2.5b4  very  nearly  compiles -- problems with gadgets not
       being there yet.
     * If you noticed from above, I've removed the line about not looking
       at the Motif headers. This is do to the fact that, while trying to
       get  Mosaic  and  moxftp to compile, I discovered that some people
       make  frequent  use of private instance variables and undocumented
       Motif  functions.  I've  therefore  changed  most  of  the widgets
       (managers  mostly)  to  use  the Motif 1.2 naming conventions. The
       primitives will come along eventually.
