  77.      LIBRARY-CHANGES:
  78.      ================
  79.  
  80.      V13.1 (16.4.1996) :
  81.      -------------------
  82.       - LIBRARY:        - added the concept of "exclusion" of single
  83.                           modules from the startup initialization
  84.                           of the library by user's choice.
  85.                           SVObjects, SVDrivers and/or SVOperators
  86.                           not to be loaded each time can be
  87.                           "excluded" by adding their names to specific
  88.                           configuration files.
  89.                           May increase speed on startup, save memory
  90.                           and reduce the need to call "avail flush"
  91.                           or actually delete modules from their
  92.                           Libs subdirectories
  93.                           (see documentation of "SVPrefs").
  94.  
  95.                           Has some disadvantages (excluded modules
  96.                           won't be recognized until again - maybe
  97.                           temporarily - loaded by hand or re-included),
  98.                           but these don't make anything worse, since
  99.                           this feature can most simply be ignored.
  100.  
  101.       - Preferences:    - added GUI support for "exclusion" model
  102.                           of modules
  103.       - NEW SVObjects:  - C-Source.svobject creates C-Source code
  104.                           in chunky/RGB notation from any graphics
  105.                           (<= 8 Bit and HAM as chunky, 24 Bit as RGB)
  106.       - SVObjects:      - GIF, TIFF: - added LZW license check to
  107.                                        GIF and LZW-TIFF
  108.                         - ILBM:      - now finally, ultimatively, definitely,
  109.                                        absolutely fixed ILBM buffersize
  110.                                        calculation stuff
  111.                                        (simply had been blind - thanks to
  112.                                         -> Simon Edwards)
  113.                                      - fixed mungwall hits when writing
  114.                                        24 Bit IFF-ILBMs
  115.                                        (-> Simon Edwards)
  116.       - SVSupport-Lib:  - fixed grabbing of interlaved screens with
  117.                           ScreenToBitPlane()
  118.                           (-> Simon Edwards)
  119.       - Programmers:    - fixed superview.fd: GetTypeExtension
  120.                           (-> Simon Edwards)
  121.                         - added new function SVL_SetDTMode(), which
  122.                           allows enabling/disabling datatypes support
  123.                           (if enabled, it also supersedes the LIBRARY
  124.                            controlpad entry "ANYDATATYPES" by specifying
  125.                            own settings)
  126.       - Documentation   - updated Simon's EMail address
  127.                         - OnlineSupport: - SNOWBALL is offline!
  128.                                          - gm-box/mediaserve domain canceled
  129.                                          - skynet domain changed
  130.                                          - new WWW page and FTP address
  131.                                            with SuperView-Support (GM-Box)
  132.                         - added other doc files as external links
  133.                         - rewrote SQ-Operators.guide
