GXMame is a frontend for XMame using the GTK library, the goal is to provide
the same GUI than mame32. For the moment it will just have the same gui, the
final goal is to be able to share config files with Mame32k (or any version
of mame32 that write config files instead of saving data into windows
registry) allowing dual booter to have the same environment (favorite,
timeplayed, last game selected, gui preference...) under windows and unix-like
systems.

Changes since 3.0:
* Added japanese translation.
* config_focus_raise declared as guint.
* Strange behavior with focus:followMouse and RaiseLower action fixed.
* use g_snprintf in openbox/session.c instead of sprintf.
* gimp crashes openbox.
* import -frame leaves windows in a temporary "on top" state.
* Programs started with X become zombies upon shutdown.
* desktopnext/previous and desktopleft/right dont quite get along.
Changes sine 1.3.6:
* Added text display of filename in icon view.
* Context menus now have underscore mnemonics.
* Fullscreen key binding changed to F.
* Added Swedish, updated Russian translations.
* Fix crash when updating thumbnails.
* Fix warnings/crash when thumbnails are set over 100 pixels high.
* Fix crash when displaying exif data.
Changes include:
* Make portable snprintf safer - output to /dev/null first to
check space needed.
o -dg3 to show input graph when things go wrong.
o explicitly look for makefiles in objdir if not found in curdir so
that errors in .depend etc will be reported accurarely.
o avoid use of -e in shell scripts in jobs mode, use '|| exit $?'
instead as it more accurately reflects the expected behavior and
is more consistently implemented.
o avoid use of asprintf.
- Corrected bug in gnutls_bye() which made it return an error code
of INVALID_REQUEST instead of success.
- Corrected a bug in the GNUTLS_KEY key usage definitions.
* Improve window manager responsiveness
* Various bug fixes in file manager, window manager and panel
* More 64bit clean up
* New translation added: Azerbaijani

library to support more image formats, and adds support for MIT shared
memory where available, for even more speed. "xli" is now maintained
by Smarasderagd, whose credits include the former png patch for xli,
and the png support for the chimera browser.
Changes from 1.16 (from the "README"):
Converted source code to ANSI C prototypes.
Removed MSDOS support (Sorry! Anyone want to add Win32 support?)
Added PNG file format loader.
Added support for MIT shared memory extension.
Rewrote JPEG file format loader to use the IJG library, to take
advantage of performance improvements and support progressive
scan JPEGs.
Added the -delete, -iscale, -focus, and -cache options.
Added interactive image fast scaling with the '<', '>' and '=' keys.
Added TODO file. Feel free to do anything on the list, or offer
your own fixes and enhancements.
Don't drop header files those extensions are >2 characters, e.g., "*.hpp".

In 1992, a joint ISO/CCITT committee known as JPEG (Joint Photographic
Experts Group) established and published the first draft international
standard (DIS) for compressing continuous-tone still images, both
grayscale and color. JPEG has defined four mode of operations,
summarized them as follows.
(1) Sequential encoding: each image component is encoded in a single
left-to-right, top-to-bottom scan;
(2) Progressive encoding: the image is encoded in multiple scans for
applications in which transmission time is long, and the viewer
prefers to watch the image build up in multiple coarse-to-clear
passes;
(3) Lossless encoding: the images is encoded to guarantee exact recovery
of every source image sample value (even though the result is low
compression compared to the lossy modes);
(4) Hierarchical encoding: the image is encoded at multiple resolutions
so that lower-resolution versions may be accessed without first having
to decompress the image at its full resolution.
Our lossless JPEG encoding program has an automatic prediction
selection value (PSV) selector which selects the best PSV among a
user provided or default set of PSVs. This selector guarantees the
best compression ratio for lossless JPEG.
The encoding program "pnmtoljpg" compresses a Portable Pixmap or
Portable Graymap image to a lossles JPEG (ljpg) image using the
JPEG standard (DIS) lossless mode of operation. The decoding program
"ljpgtopnm" decodes a ljpg image to either a Portable Pixmap or
Portable Graymap image depending on the number of color components
stored in the ljpg image file.
This software package contains an implementation of JPEG-LS, the
emerging lossless/near-lossless compression standard for continuous-tone
images being developed by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG1 (draft document
FCD14495 as of November 1997). The names of the executables in the
software package derive from the acronym LOCO, as the core of the
new standard is based on the LOCO-I algorithm (LOw COmplexity
LOssless COmpression for Images) developed at Hewlett-Packard
Laboratories (reference: M. Weinberger, G. Seroussi, G. Sapiro,
"LOCO-I: A Low Complexity, Context-Based, Lossless Image Compression
Algorithm," Proc. IEEE Data Compression Conference, Snowbird, Utah,
March-April 1996).
The term "near-lossless compression" refers to a lossy algorithm
for which each decompressed image sample differs from the corresponding
original image sample by not more than a pre-specified value, the
(usually small) "loss." Lossless compression corresponds to loss=0.
Even though the term "continuous-tone image" refers in principle
to any image whose components have more than one bit per sample,
palletized images may require a reordering of the color palette
for best compression results using LOCO-I on the array of color
indices. This functionality is not implemented in the present
software, although it is supported by the new standard, and is easy
enough to implement with the tools given. Notice, however, that
LOCO-I and JPEG-LS were not designed, and might not give optimal
performance, for images that have been palletized through dithering.
The libcaca library is a graphics library that outputs text instead
of pixels, so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals.
It is not unlike the famous AAlib library. libcaca needs a terminal
to work, thus it should work on all Unix systems (including Mac OS
X) using either the slang library or the ncurses library.
The differences with AAlib are the following:
* 16 available colours for character output (256 colour pairs)
* dithering of colour images
* basic sprite primitives
But libcaca also has the following limitations:
* no support for brightness, contrast, gamma
* unefficient character-choosing algorithms
* no alternate fonts
* no raw keyboard support
* no custom output drivers a la AA-on-X
