XForms 1.0.90 released

Item posted by Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <lasgouttes> on Tue 30 Mar 2004 03:00:18 PM UTC.

I am glad to announce the release of XForms 1.0.90, which marks a
first step on the road to XForms 1.1.0. This development release has
the primary goal of making sure that the new autoconf-based setup used
for XForms works correctly on as many architectures as possible.

There are still a few bugs to fix before 1.1.0, and I am sure that a
couple new feature will creep in too.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the ANNOUNCE file:

V1.0.90 March 30, 2004
o Migrate from Imake to the GNU autotools.
o "Composite" widgets, such as the browser, can now display tooltips.
o Prevent a crash when rotating grayscale images by 90 degree multiples.
o Enable xforms to handle XPixmaps containing colour "opaque".
o Tabfolder widgets are now resizable.
o Re-add fl_lookup_RGBcolor which fell off the dist at 1.0pre3.
o fl_init_RGBdatabase is no longer needed, does nothing and is
retained for compatibility only.
o Pass KeyRelease events to the widgets.
o Display the tab forms correctly when using bottom tab folders.
o Enable xforms to read a wider variety of gif and jpeg images.
o Enable fdesign to work correctly with paths like ../foo/bar/your_file.fd.
o Add a -dir <destdir> option to fdesign to place generated files in destdir.
o Add an RPM spec file.
o Get rid of the separate snprintf compatibility library.
o Removal of lots of little pieces of cruft that crept into the xforms
1.0 release.
