-
- - Convert wasn't able to convert Yak 1.3 DOS command hotkeys.

-
- - MMB Shift crashed the system !
-
- - There were garbage chars after 'DiskInserted' and 'DiskRemoved' in the
- hotkey definition window.
-
- - If a hotkey is still unnamed, use window titles like "Set options for
- <<unnamed>>" instead of just "Set options for".
-
- - New option for CycleWindows action, you can now specify a pattern on the
- name of the task which handle some windows. Some examples:
- To exclude ToolManger windows (docks), you can use "~(ToolManager Handler)"
- pattern. To cycle only BrowserII windows, you can use "#?BrowserII#?".

- - ScreenCycling via mouse only worked if there was a window under mouse.
-
- - WildStar and NoClick gadgets were inverted.
-

- flags without testing them, so nickprefs was disabling click on drive and
- Yak was reenabling it after even with NoClick off.
-
- - Position of the bottom Bevel Box of the main window was not font
- sensitive.
-
- - Now entering the hotkey definition window disables Yak and re-enables it
- after the window is closed. This is more convenient especially for mouse
- cycling definitions..
-
- - 2 new tooltypes for the prefs program to let you choose your own font for
- Yak GUI independenlty from the screen font. Look at the tooltypes of
- Prefs/Yak.info for some example. Warning, if the screen is not big enough
- for the window to adapt itself to the specified font, Yak will use
- topaz.font 8.
