Notable changes in this latest version are listed here. Some code
cleanup work and documentation editing has also been done.
256-color limit removed
Icon's X-windows interface previously limited each window to 256
colors at one time. This limitation has been removed for the TrueColor
displays provided by most modern computers. Median-cut quantization is
used to select 256 image colors when WriteImage() is called to write a
GIF file.
Library changes
As usual, several files in the Icon program library have been added or
edited. The core library files, however, remain stable.
Minor changes
* The command "icon - [args]" can now be used to execute a source
program read from standard input.
* A new "icont -N" flag suppresses embedding of an iconx path in the
generated executable
* The configuration directory has been restructured.
* Several obsolete configurations have been removed.
* The environment variables HEAPSIZE and BLOCKSIZE no longer
function as undocumented alternatives to BLKSIZE. The GNU ls
utility uses BLOCKSIZE for other purposes, leading to confusion.
* "make Install" has been changed to never delete anything. It now
creates a new directory rather than altering an existing one.

(Note: this includes the fix of a serious bug, so I'll recommend upgrading
for 0.9.0 and 0.9.1 users (the older version doesn't have the bug).)
Changes:
* The bug that removed messages from server if "Don't receive"
action is specified by the filter rule has been fixed.
* The bug that caused abort when a button is double-clicked on some
dialogs has been fixed.
* A warning that was displayed when address book was empty has been
fixed.
C and Pascal.
* Remove dependencies on gmp, rx, ncurses. They're not needed for
general Pascal programming, only for some of the units, and
can be installed later if required.
* Bump PKGREVISION.
Version 2.1.5 (3/24/2003)
* Bug fix: Fortran wrappers were disabled in version 2.1.4.
Version 2.1.4 (3/16/2003)
* Upgraded to newer versions of autoconf, etcetera, to fix compilation
problems on various recent systems.
* The configure script no longer picks the wrong architecture flags
(which caused FFTW to crash) on newer IBM POWER machines running AIX.
* Multi-threaded transforms should now utilize multiple CPUs on
Solaris (which creates threads in single-processor mode by default).
* Added experimental support for OpenMP (and SGI MP) compiler
parallelization directives in the multi-threaded transforms,
instead of using explicit thread spawning. Enable by configuring
--with-openmp or --with-sgi-mp in addition to --enable-threads.
* Expanded FAQ.
changes:
full drag&drop support (rearrange tracks or add files to master from KDE/Gnome).
completely new non-root-mode which does not require any group or a change of
modes on the cdrtools.
complete rewrite of internal device handling. Up to 64 devices can be
independently configured and used. Devices are no longer scanned at each
startup, support for remote-scsi (networked devices), Linux kernel-2.5.x
devices and any other cdrecord supports.
improved Mac OS X support with automatic autodiskmount daemon handling.
support copy of audio-CDs on-the-fly.
save window positions and sizes.
display progress of reading/writing in window title.
even more integration of cdrecord-ProDVD.
Full support of DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW with newest ProDVD-versions.
added greek and ukrainian translations, updated most others.
a helpful HTML-manual in doc/manual (online: http://www.xcdroast.org/manual)
numerous usage improvements and bug fixes.
This release fixes several minor bugs that were found in version
1.0 as well as a major bug in the wideband encoding. This makes
files encoded with 1.0 play with lower quality on 1.0.1 decoders.
KDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix "du"
command. In addition to that, it comes with some cleanup facilities to reclaim
disk space.
Imported as a separate package as this version works with the newer "snow"
Base Station and with the Airport Extreme but *not* with the original
Base Station.
