"On Usenet, we vent in a group called alt.sysadmin.recovery. The
group has a FAQ. If you read the FAQ, you will find that you (the
users) subscribe to this group at your own peril. If you want to
be useful, why don't you run over to the supply cabinet and get a
new box of pixels for the monitor. As part of our venting, some
of us have written a series of man pages that we'd like to see."
Manpages you ever needed:

internationalization. Changes from 0.61.1:
Optimizations!!
---------------
Code for converting wrlib images into X Pixmaps was optimized in many ways,
both in the original C code and in assembly for Pentium(tm) processors (with
and without MMX(tm)). Depending on the bit depth/color mode and CPU model,
performance increases can go up to 150%
Weendoze Window Cycling (alt-tab)
---------------------------------
Window cycling was changed to weendoze style.
NoBorder Window Attribute
--------------------------
The NoBorder window attribute (to be put in
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowAttributes) was added and will remove the
1 pixel border around windows.
Removed "Keep Attracted Icons" option from Clip's menu
------------------------------------------------------
Since this option brought more confusion than usefulness among users, and
since it was usable only in a very limited context, being able to fill up
the Clip very easily, it was removed.
An alternative way of gaining the same functionality is to use the "Keep icon"
entry in the Clip's main menu. Or select multiple icons before calling that
entry, to make it apply to more than one icon.
Note: "Keep icon", as the obsoleted "Keep Attracted Icons" had nothing to do
with holding icons in Clip, while the application is running. Once they
are attracted, they are kept until the application close. Using
"Keep icon", will only assure that the icon will be kept, even after the
application is closed.
Please don't ask for this option back. It's error prone, and very unintuitive.
Considering it's very restrictive usability, and it's very ambiguous topic, it
does not need a special entry in the Clip's menu, taking in count that there
are already better alternative ways of gaining the same functionality.
Removed DisplayFont Option
---------------------------
The font for the geometry size will be controlled by the default
WINGs font (SystemFont in WMGLOBAL) now.
Others
------
- added DONT_SCALE_ICONS compile time option
- added --dont-restore cmd line option. When passed to wmaker, it
wont restore the state saved previously.
can check a single document, or a set of documents on one or more
servers. Checkbot creates a report which summarizes all links which
caused some kind of warning or error.
-Fix another 2.0 problem (rematrix was wrong).
-Fix the never resync on a bad crc bug.
-New library interface
-Fix bug wrt coupling channels that was causing sound quality problems.
-Fix 2.0 mode problems (aka the I forgot to implement the phase flags bug).
-All around speed improvements (almost twice as fast)
-Improved robustness when fed bad data. The entire frame is checksummed
before playback.
For the Icon source code, this is primarily a maintenance release. The
code has been reworked and simplified to increase portability. An ANSI
C compiler is now required, and UNIX systems are expected to supply a
POSIX (1003.1-1988) library.
Version 9.3.2 adds one new feature:
The files in a directory can be listed by opening the directory as a
file. Subsequent reads return the names of the files contained in the
directory. The names are returned in no particular order, and for UNIX,
the directories "." and ".." are included.
* Access to GNU gdbm persistent hashtables (structures Gdbm, Polygdbm)
* Interface to the PostgreSQL database server (structure Postgres)
* Interface to the MySQL database server (structure Mysql)
* Interface to POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions (structure Regex)
* Interface to sockets (structure Socket)
* Faster bytecode execution (when compiled with GCC or egcs)
* Registration of ML and C functions simplify callbacks
Apparently the NetBSD patches were also pulled up.
Since the distfile on the original site was updated without
version indication, this also fixes kern/9783.
