[Xlog-discussion] first 0.6 beta release

[Joop Stakenborg]

I would like to release a series of beta's, prior to version 0.6,
so people on this list can comment on new additions.

The first beta is available from http://auric.debian.org/~pa3aba.

Here is the changelog (check it out Stephane!):

  * Migrate to automake 1.5 and gettext 0.10.40.
  * Minor bugfixes. Saving of window size and position now works correctly.
  * Add hamlib support. You must call the configure script with
    '--enable-hamlib', to compile with hamlib. A page has been added to the
    preferences dialog, where hamlib can be activated and a radio and port
    can be selected. The frequency of your rig can be displayed in the
    statusbar.
  * Add a clock. It can be run in the statusbar.
  * Both clock and frequency display have a handlebox, so you can put them
    anywhere on the screen.

Read the INSTALL file to find out how to enable hamlib support, it is not
compiled by default. Check out http://hamlib.sourceforge.net to see if your
radio is supported and if you are in doubt, use the latest CVS version.

Some words on this release: 
This is a development only release of xlog. Do not distribute it if you can.
On the other hand, if you want to give your friend's rig a try, please do
so....

Have fun testing it. Let this list know how you are doing,

Regards,

Joop PA4TU
