Big +THANK-YOU to Bert, Subbu and Dave Lewis for providing invaluable +feedback. + +Any plugin can now be turned off in configure with the option +'--without-<pluginName>'. + +Experimental PulseAudio driver (vm-sound-pulse) added, thanks to Derek +O'Connell. Default is still OSS on Linux; if you want pulse you have +to ask for it in one of the usual ways. + +FFI tweaked on Linux to avoid a potential FPU stack overflow. + +ClipboardExtendedPlugin will no longer try to build if you don't have +X11 development headers and libs. + +FileCopyPlugin made resilient to EINTR. + +VM renamed to 'squeakvm'. 'squeak' is now a script that looks for +'squeakvm', figures out if you need any obscure command-line options, +and then launches 'squeakvm' for you. This in turn allows... + +Plugin search stretegy rationalised and simplified. Default location +is now the executable directory (where 'squeakvm' is installed). The +-plugins argument can be a colon-separated list of locations to +search, just like PATH. Plugins are named 'so.plugin' to make +interference with FFI libraries less likely. + + NOTE: FFI libraries are no longer searched for in every single nook + and cranny, which means you might have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or + your local equivalent) for FFI-based programs to work properly. + +Failure to load a plugin because of unresolved symbols is now always +reported on the terminal. + +Another script 'squeak.sh' is provided for launching squeak from a +menu. This isn't finished and suggestions are welcome. + +Default path and text encoding is now UTF-8. + +X11 driver no longer reports SHIFT pressed when CAPS LOCK engaged. + +SerialPlugin now supports named ports. + +All occurences of dprintf() renamed to avoid a name conflict with a +less-than-stellar decision by POSIX to introduce a standard function +of the same name. + +RomePlugin is no longer built if cairo was built without Pango +support. + +iconv_open() no longer spams you with thousands of error messages if +you are missing conversion tables. + +Valid unicode characters that have no corresponding keycode are +reported with keycode zero to avoid an invalid index error in the +image. + +XImmPlugin should now work on MacOS X/Darwin too. + +Sound driver on MacOS X now works on Intel as well as PowerPC. + +Various changes to make the VM compile and run on GNU/Linux running on +DEC Alpha. + +vm-sound-Sun now uses asynchronous i/o. + +Various changes to fix compilation on Solaris.
