NOTE: because of this the format of the file were messages are kept have changed. So old messages files are not compatible with the new one. - As the messages file format have changed, this is the occasion to move it to a more appropriate location. So messages are now kept in : /var/lib/linpopup/messages.dat (old location was /tmp/linpopup.dat) - Added "Save as" and "Save All" submenus in the "Message" menu. In this way a message or all messages can be saved in a human readable form ( an ASCII text file ). - Added support for GTK+ 1.1.x Linpopup will now compile and run fine with GTK+ 1.1.x series. - The static executable included in the binairy distribution is now linked with GTK+ v1.0.5 BTW, is only required to compile the sources and run the dynamic executable GTK+ >=1.0.4 - Some fix to the minimize function. Linpopup will now correctly minimize when launched with the -min arg via .xinitrc or .Xclients. (will no more confuse window managers) - A Linpopup man page is now available. - Made some changes to the help menu. - Default Compilator flags are now : -Wall -O2 -fno-strenght-reduce If you want change that set CFLAGS at compile time i.e : make CFLAGS="-O2 -m486" - Updated/corrected the INSTALL file. - Added a -info switch to make linpopup display some system information that may be useful when something goes wrong. - Made it display a rude message when invoked with the -help argument. - Fixed a little bug introduced in v0.9.3 that resulted in a missing new line at the end of a the quoted part of a reply msg. - Linpopup is now a little bit more colored. - New changes made to the Makefile. v0.9.3 20-SEPT-1998 ------------------- - MAJOR CHANGE: Message > 1600 bytes are now fully supported. Possibility added to send them in several parts. - MAJOR CHANGE: fixed a bug due to special characters in a HOSTNAME (by example JOHN'S COMPUTER where the ' was responsable of non delivered msg) (thanks to Edward Rudd) By the same occasion change the way to send messages (using now a temp file rather than a string) to avoid this kind of problems regarding the message text. - ABSOLUTELY No more garbage in the statusbar. Hope this is true this time... - Added "Message" menu in the send window with submenus: "Load" and "send". So,it's now possible to load a text file and send it. - Added "Edit" menu in the send window with submenus: "cut", "copy", "paste", "select all", for operations with the clipboard. - Due to Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> Debian package is now available. - A little bit code Clean-Up initiated by the same Paul.

Linpopup will now iconify itself if launched with the -min argument and if there is no new message. v0.9.1 23-AUG-1998 ------------------ - MAJOR CHANGE : Review entirely the way to capture incoming messages. This will avoid some problems when running Linpopup with no root access privileges (like receive indefinitely the same message).

( Appears in the message menu and as a new toolbar's icon ). - Added the Edit menu in the main window, with "Select All" "Copy to clipboard" and "Preferences" sub-menus. - On the way of user customization, and the first step is the Toolbar Properties that can now be customized in the preferences window.
