* Fix regression in 3.0.19 which causes incorrect fault handling if
efax-gtk is given an invalid postscript file.
* Provide new Emitter/EmitterArg and SafeEmitter/SafeEmitterArg
classes for thread-safe signalling.
* Provide a Callback::post() function which provides for thread-safe
disconnection of a callback if the object whose method it
encapsulates has been destroyed.
Changes 3.0.19:
* If the gtk+ version is >= 2.8.0 and X11 is the backend, use gdk
X11 functions to move the program window to the current workspace
if the user tries to start another instance.
* Include gtk/gtk.h, gdk/gdk.h and glib.h instead of individual
gtk+/glib header files.
* Correct failure to print or view logfile if the logfile user
setting does not have an absolute path name.
* Allow choice of priorities in Callback::post() function. Provide
Callback::Functor class wrapping Callback objects and further
generalise Callback objects.
* Improve iconified tracking.
* Correct the order in which tests based on the definitions in
config.h are carried out, when choosing header files to be included.
* Include fsync() call after flushing fdoutbuf stream buffer.
* Minor code layout improvements.
* Print received/sent faxes via cairo, libtiff and GtkPrintOperation
when efax-gtk is compiled against GTK+ >= 2.10.0, instead of
converting to postscript with efix.
* Minor improvements to the TextPrintManager implementation.
* Make use of GTK+ print system the default when efax-gtk is
compiled against GTK+ >= 2.10.0.
* Correct man file.
* Replace thread-unsafe use of sigc::slot where relevant with thread
safe callback classes
* Compile fixes for gcc-4.3
* Fix '=' for '==' error
* Remove unnecessary debugging code
* Update config.guess, config.sub, install-sh, missing and
mkinstalldirs to automake-1.9
* Correct comments in pipes.h
* Provide an option for prepending a standard prefix on dialling
* Implement start_iowatch() without a sigc::signal object (that is,
using only a sigc::slot object for the callback)
* Corrections to syntax of efax-gtk.1 (man file) and
efax-gtk.desktop.
* Add reference to -e option in efax man file
* Add more robust checking of whether an existing instance of
efax-gtk is running when another instance is started
* Correct conditional compilation for use of GTK+ printing system to
check for version 2.10
* Update comments on threading in prog_defs.h
* Update Catalan translation
* Update README file
* Add provision for printing and viewing the logfile

class and provide new TextPrintManager class
* Correctly show help dialog for GTK+ print system checkbox in
settings dialog
* Explicitly forbid copying of IntrusiveCounter and
IntrusiveLockCounter class objects
* Do not initialise the pthread_cond_t object in a Thread::Cond
object if the call to pthread_condattr_setclock() fails (this
avoids a possible resource leak)
* Improve GError handling where relevant
* Change use of g_list_append() to g_list_prepend()
* Greek translation updated.
Cater for postscript viewers such as evince which, if an instance
of the program is already running, will return before the file to
be viewed is displayed.

GTK+-2.9 and above use g_object_ref_sink() instead of
g_object_ref()/gtk_object_sink()
Have consistent keys shortcuts for the closing of dialogs
Use in_addr_t type explicitly where relevant
More...
Swedish translation added (Daniel Nylander).
Catalan translation added (Jordi Sayol Salomo).
Use gtk_widget_queue_draw() to update the drawing area which
indicates whether a fax is in the "faxes to send" queue via an
expose event rather than doing it directly.
Cater for serial port devices in sub-directories of /dev.
Have Notifier objects detect whether the signalling thread is the
same one as the thread in which the slot will execute and if so
by-pass the Notifier pipe, and implement Notifier objects without
using a map and object IDs.
Correctly handle case of constructor of SharedPtr and SharedHandle
objects throwing.
Allow the program to compile without X.
Document the use of G_IO_HUP with iowatches.
Correct comments about the use of PipeFifo::connect_to_stdout()
and PipeFifo::connect_to_stderr().
Improve text for translation about modem classes.
Include <ostream> and <istream> headers file where relevant.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Update Greek translation (Hellenic Linux Users Group).
Add German translation (po/de.po and mainwindow.cpp).
Destroy thread attribute object correctly (utils/thread.h and
utils/thread.cpp).
Use GtkSpinButton objects in the settings dialog where relevant
(settings.h, settings.cpp and settings_help.cpp).
Improve documentation/commenting of write_error() function
(mainwindow.cpp).
Update gettext tools to latest version (gettext-0.14.5)
(po/Makevars and po/Rules-quot).
Move typedef of InstanceMap into the Notifier class
(utils/notifier.h and utils/notifier.cpp).
Provide specific CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS specification in rpm spec
file (efax-gtk.spec.in and efax-gtk.spec).
Add simplified Chinese translation
Provide internationalisation support for the efax program to which
efax-gtk is a front end
Make the fax top header line of a sent fax charset independent,
and remove some incorrect codeset conversions
Deal with two minor timing/race issues
Make Notifier::make_id() a static method, since it only uses local
or static objects
Instead of omitting the call to setlocale() in efax/efix.c, after
setting the locales to match their environment, reset LC_NUMERIC
to the "C" locale
Update Hungarian translation
Provide a further explicit cast to void* in sentinel for elipsis
arguments, for 64-bit systems
Provide for the automatic updating of the fax lists when a fax is
received or sent
Provide for the received fax list to show the number of new faxes
received since the program was last started
Make minor changes to handling of colours of certain labels
Make the program close properly if the "Quit" item is chosen from
the system tray menu and a blocking modal dialog is showing
Remove unnecessary use of GtkAlignment objects to adjust labels
Add a date column to the fax lists, which derives the time of the
fax from the fax ID (the directory in which faxes are stored)
Provide for the fax ID (the directory in which faxes are stored)
for received faxes to be derived from the time that the fax is
received rather than the time that efax-gtk is put into receive
mode. This enables the fax lists to display the correct time of a
received fax.
Now that stored fax directories (fax name IDs) are not displayed
in the fax lists, provide the part of the ID representing a year
in 4 (or more) digit rather than 2 digit format (someone in 2099
might be pleased!).
Put a UTF-8 validation function in namespace Utf8.
Where relevant, handle PipeFifo and Notifier errors by exceptions
- consequential on putting the source for these in the utils
sub-directory.
Change clean-up arrangements on start-up.
Correct false calls to _exit() in FaxListDialog::view_fax_thread()
Make the PipeFifo and SemSync classes explicitly non-copiable
Provide further explicit casts to void* in sentinels for elipsis
arguments for 64-bit systems.
Provide a settings option to omit the destination fax number from
the fax page top header line
Use a mutex to ensure that writes to the Notifier pipe are atomic
between threads
Some fixes for 64 bit systems:
Fixes for (harmless) warnings issued by gcc-4.0
Fix bug where the Trash folder is dragged in the fax lists
(fax_list_manager.cpp).
Greek translation added (the Hellenic Linux Users Group
translation team).
Italian translation updated (Luca De Rugeriis).
Adjust image sizes for toolbar buttons in GTK+2.4 or higher
(fax_list.cpp, file_list.cpp and socket_list.cpp).
Provision to ensure synchronisation of memory where necessary in
multi-processor systems (efax_controller.h and
efax_controller.cpp).
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
This program is a Gtk+/Gtk-- front end for the efax program for
receiving and sending faxes with a fax modem. To use it you must have
efax and ghostscript installed, and the executables (efax, efix and
gs) must be situated in the default system path.
Any files to be faxed must be in postscript format, which is the
generic printer format for Unix/Linux systems. The program will use
ghostscript to convert these into the Group 3 fax format which the fax
modem will understand.
