Sat Sep  4 03:08:49 1993  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson@guano)

    * Wrapped version 0.07

    * Fixed two bugs in Ms.c which caused core dumps under
    Linux

Sun Aug 15 12:11:38 1993  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson@guano)

    * Added Linux FNDELAY hack

    * Added strdup() replacement (needed by pure 4.3BSD)

Sun Jun  6 04:27:00 1993  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson@guano)

    * Rewrote parts of the README file.

    * Gave up futile attempts to declare malloc() using system
    include files.

    * Combined the various INSTALL files into a single file.

    * Fixed an use of freed memory and several memory leaks.

Sat May 22 03:04:12 1993  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson@guano)

    * Updated years in copyright messages.

Fri May  7 04:41:48 1993  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson@guano)

    * Version 0.06g ported to HP700-series and DEC Alpha
    machines.  The rubberband box can now be manipulated
    while the calculation is in progress.

    * Version 0.06h was put under RCS.  This necessitated a
    restructuring of the code into a more traditional
    directory tree with no links between directories.  There
    is now a lib/ directory for code shared between the
    different programs.  PPM support was added to bms.

    * Version 0.06f introduced experimental Henon fractal code
    in mslaved and associated generic parameter decoding code.

    * Version 0.06d1 changed to support a BitMapUnit of 32 in
    b/w operation.  Maybe it was a mistake to remove the
    8-bit code.

Thu May 14 19:58:16 1992  Andreas Gustafsson  ([e-mail])

    * Lots of changes to support 24-bit visuals

Sat Feb  8 21:15:44 1992  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at gunnar)

    * Added support for pipe operation in mslaved.c; introduced
    HAVE_SOCKETS and HAVE_SYSLOG compile-time flags

Wed Feb  5 16:57:41 1992  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spiff.cs.hut.fi)

    * Made the visual matching code    use the default visual for
    black-and-white operation

    * Added colormap animation

Fri Dec  6 17:32:39 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at bulldozer.cs.hut.fi)

    * Allowed empty lines and # comments in .enslave

Sun Dec  1 16:18:26 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at punisher.cs.hut.fi)

    * New development version 0.06a.  Includes visual matching code in
    Mama.c, and new option handling in mslaved and mslavedc.

Sun Nov 24 12:38:12 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at hydroman.cs.hut.fi)

    * Wrapped version 0.06

    * Added option details to the synopsis in xms.man

    * Tested the new ms_draw() on monochrome and 8-bit colour
    Suns.

    * Completely rewrote the black-and-white special case display
    support in Ms.c:ms_draw(), so that it now constructs the image
    a byte at a time rather than a word at a time.  This should
    avoid any byteorder problems.

Tue Nov  5 17:23:38 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at bulldozer.cs.hut.fi)

    * Version number is now 0.05p.  Changed some key bindings to be
    more consistent with the new "zoom by default" policy, and
    updated the manual page correspondingly.

Mon Sep 30 01:01:40 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added XtNinput argument to shell widget; that ought to
    fix the keyboard focus problem with OpenWindows (not tested).

Sun Sep 22 12:07:27 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Edited README and mslaved/Makefile; now gcc is stronly recommended
    only for old CISCs.  Made floating point the default for MIPS in
    ms_real.h as suggested by broadley's benchmarks.

    * restored the menu entries for using the old window but made the
    popup alternative more defaultish (no, I don't run spell on
    ChangeLogs).

    * added #include <sys/file.h> to ms_ipc.h (needed for FNDELAY in
    HP-UX)

    * fixed some syntax errors in mslaved.c

    * added #include <netinet/in.h> in Ms.c to get htonl() and ntohs()
    macro definitions (needed for HP-UX)

Sat Sep 14 00:09:20 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * #ifdef'ed away the menu entries for reusing the old window

Sun Aug 11 14:42:55 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added "inverse box zooming" as suggested by RMS.  Still
    untested.

Sat Aug 10 10:32:51 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added #include <errno.h> in work.c

    * Wrapped 0.05j and mailed to broadley for beta testing

    * Renamed split.c to mspawn.c

    * Tested 0.05h on SPARCstation IPC.  Fixed some bugs in the
    noImakefile and documented problems with missing imake and
    Aw libs.  Version with these fixes called 0.05i.

Fri Jul 26 14:23:57 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Fixed some more typos and made some other changes in the man
    pages

    * Wrapped 0.05h    and gave it to [e-mail] for beta
    testing

Sun Jul 21 12:36:22 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Wrote the bms batch mode client and renamed the X client to
    xms.  This also caused lots of changes to both source and
    documentation of xms because of extensive code sharing between the
    two clients.  Mandelbrot-dependent but X-independent
    code has been separated into a new module, mspawn.c, leaving
    code that is both X- and Mandelbrot-independent in work.c.
    The timeout system has been completely rewritten.

    * MIPS fixed-point code has been tested on a DECStation.

Wed Jun 26 17:01:04 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at gunnar)

    * Separated the X-independent workload distribution stuff
    into a new module, work.c.  Renamed all X-independent files
    to lowercase names to reduce ugliness.  Added missing "2" in
    MIPS fracmult2 function name; need to retest MIPS code before
    distributing it.

Tue Jun 18 21:34:57 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Fixed several typos in the man page

Sun May 19 10:49:05 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Corrected some typos, added crosshair at center of rubberband box

Wed Mar 27 19:15:30 1991  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at canopus.hut.fi)

    * Hacked README somewhat

Wed Dec 26 11:18:55 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Documented some incompatibilities with Mach and Silicon Graphics

    * Made ping() in mslavedc.c use the port given with the -p
    option instead of always using the default port

    * Added fixed point support for MIPS

Tue Oct 16 16:26:40 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at canopus.hut.fi)

    * Reverted to the old behaviour of ignoring EWOULDBLOCK
    errors on slave socket input because a user reported getting
    these errors with 0.05; could this be an X11R3 bug fixed in X11R4?

    * Changed main.c to declare rindex() by including <X11/Xos.h>
    instead of rolling its own declaration; rindex is a macro on
    the NeXT.

    * Removed a bogus dependency from the noImakefile

    * Made 0.05 available for FTP from funic.funet.fi and announced
    it in comp.windows.x and alt.fractals

Fri Oct  5 13:06:42 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at vega.hut.fi)

    * Made the "ping" code in mslavedc.c SYSV-safe (still untested)

    * Fixed outdated usage message in mslavedc.c

    * Mslaved no longer makes the incorrect assumption that
    ntohl(long) returns a signed value (this caused problems
    on some little-endian machines running System V or Ultrix).

Wed Sep 12 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Made mslaved check for convergence by looking for
    repeated values in the iteration sequence (this really speeds
    things up with large iteration counts).  Installed new
    server and client in Niksula as 0.05beta.

    * Made slave timeout dependent of the iteration count

    * Added sanity check of UDP port number read from .mslaves
    (random text in the port field used to cause the not very
    informative error message "can't assign requested address").

Sat Aug 25 17:48:25 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added code to create a private colormap if allocation from
    the default colormap fails.

    * Updated MANIFEST, renamed the makefile to noImakefile.

Sun Aug  5 19:31:17 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added a simple Makefile for those not using Imake.

Sat Aug  4 19:00:51 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Merged some System V support fixes into ms-0.05.

Wed Jul 11 14:43:31 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at canopus.hut.fi)

    * Fixed nasty bug in InitSlaves where too little memory was
    allocated for the warning message because it used sizeof with
    a char pointer instead of a char array.

Thu May 10 16:38:57 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Move the overflow label from the center to the upper left
    corner; changed backing store attribute of the Ms window
    from WhenMapped to Always.

Fri May  4 14:54:41 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Changed the superclass of the Ms widget from core to composite
    and added the overflow label widget (only when LABEL is defined).

Tue Apr 17 22:31:47 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Documented the initial view options.

    * Added -DR4 to DEFINES for X11R4 in Imakefile; put
    Put "#ifdef R4" around the resource converter code in main.c.

    * Edited README

Wed Apr  4 14:42:28 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Updated version number to 0.05.  There is support for
    specifying an initial view using command line options
    but it is still undocumented.  Must check how to
    register resource converters under X11R2..3.

Wed Feb 14 16:28:22 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Wrapped 0.04 and made it available for anonymous FTP from
    sauna.hut.fi

Mon Feb 12 14:07:44 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Documented the -greyscale option

    * Updated MANIFEST and added some comments to Imakefile

Mon Feb  8  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added menu entries for showing window range and performance
    statistics; changed formatting of statistics printout.

Mon Feb  5 13:37:35 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Made Ms.c discover endianness at runtime, thus eliminating
    the -Dx_ENDIAN compiler flags.

Thu Feb  1 11:47:38 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * fixed a bug causing clients running on little-endian machines
    to draw byteswapped pictures on 1-plane displays

    * restructured the display type/iteration count info;
    added support for 1-plane displays with iteration counts >=256

    * changed translations in R4 version to match the documentation

    * changed name of "-bw" option to "-greyscale"

Tue Jan 30 08:03:22 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Wrote a simple Imakefile (client only )

    * Added a SimpleMenu for R4 only

    * dot-mslaves: Added port number to host experimental.hut.fi

Wed Jan 24 12:21:59 1990  Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Added "-bw" option

    * Restructured some code in Ms.c in preparation for
    merging with the SimpleMenu code; added "Action" suffix
    to the names of all action routines.

    * Fixed a bug in the enslave script that caused it
    to start only 2..3 of the servers.  Added ChangeLog
    file.  Fixed FTP info in README file (wrong host).

Mon Jan 22 1990 Andreas Gustafsson  (gson at spica.hut.fi)

    * Version 0.03 announced on nordunet.sources.list
