This is the README file of update from wafe-1.0-prerelase to wafe 1.0

The new version features in the following items:

   - Support for the GhostView widget class.

     When wafe (or mofe) is compiled with ghostview support,
     PostScript files an be displayed in a Wafe application.

     Ghostview is NOT shipped together with wafe, only the code
     for embedding the widget (wafe/src/GsvGen.{spec,c,tex}) and
     an Imakefile (wafe/lib/ghostview/Imakefile); see
     wafe/INSTALL how to compile wafe with ghostview support (it
     is actually pretty easy).

     An OSF/Motif sample script using the ghostview widget can be
     found in wafe/src/tcl/m-ghostview


   - New commands (only available under X11R5 or newer):

        fallbackResources <widget> <attribut resource pairs>

     where <widget> is used to determine the resource database
     (screen or display). The command "fallbackResources" is very
     similar to "mergeResources" with the only difference that in
     cases, where a matching ressource entry is already available
     in the resource database, the provided value in
     fallbackResources is ignored.  fallbackResources have the
     lowest priority.

        combineFileDatabase <filename> <widget> <override>

     where filename is the name of a resource file, <widget> is
     used to determine the resource database (screen or
     display) and <override> determines whether already loaded
     resource entries should be overwritten or not.


   - Fix for a bug introduced in Wafe 0.97.p1 has been fixed
     (Motif version only). The percent code substitution for
     defaultActionCallback was broken in all widget classes except
     the XmGraphWidget class. Thanks to Jan Timm for pointing out
     the bug.


   - New sexy demo for the graph widget (Motif only):

        wafe/src/tcl/m-graph-config


   - Several improvments in  xwafemail

      * Adding aliases:
        The key combination <Ctrl>a can be used in received mails
        to popup a window to add an alias. 

      * Completion of adresses:
        When a mail is being sent, the Tab key can be used
        in lines starting with To:, Cc: or Bcc: to expand
        aliases. Say, there is an alias "joe" defined as
        "someUser@someHost.someNet", typing joe and
        pressing the Tab key will expand the alias. In fact,
        any unique abbrevation of an nickname will be complete.


   - several improvments in  xwafenews

      * Adding aliases:
        The key combination <Ctrl>a can be used in the article 
        window to popup a window to add an alias. 

      * Completion of adresses:
        When an article is being forwarded, the Tab key can be used
        in the To: line to exand aliases (see above under xwafemail
        for more details)

      * Reduced memory consumption by avoiding to pass large
        Perl arrays as arguments

      * New command line option -e (economy mode):
        In economy mode xwafenews behaves differently in two
        respects:

          a) the nntp server is NOT asked, which newsgroups
             are available
          b) the newsrc file will never grow. If the newsrc file
             at startup has say 10 lines, it will stay in this
             size

        Background: 
           Here at research we have about 15 thousand newsgroups
           (no typo), which are transfered during startup from
           the nntpserver and compared against the 15 thousand
           entries in the .newsrc file. I am watching about 200
           newsgroups (roughly 1 percent). In most situations,
           most of the time and storage is wasted.

           Here some statistics:

             option     newsgroups  memory (perl)  startup (reading groups)
             standard     15500       56MB           48sec
             -e           15500       27MB           29sec
             -e             500        6MB            4sec

           in my situation the improvement in memory consumption
           and time spent in preparing newsgroup information 
           is roughly a factor of 10, when -e is used. Information
           about new newsgroups can be obtained from 
           news.announce.newsgroups.

           If -e is used, and the option "all groups" is selected
           on a large newsgroups file, speed is worse than without
           -e, since xwafenews asks for each group separately
           which articles are available.


In order to apply the update, change to the wafe directory of
the wafe-1.0-prerelase distribution, expand this tar file
and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
