- Xgopher 1.3.3 is now available
- (Xgopher 1.3, patch level 3)
-
- (Xgopher is a gopher client for the X Window System.)
-
- =========================================================================
- = Xgopher 1.3.3 differs from Xgopher 1.3.2 only in that it should =
- = compile under the X Window System Version 11, Release 6 (X11R6). =
- = If you are already running Xgopher 1.3.1 or Xgopher 1.3.2 and are =
- = not running X11R6, then there is no need to install this version. =
- =========================================================================
-
- [[ Before you ask... gopher+ changes are not in this release, they will
- be in the forthcoming Xgopher 2 release. ]]
-
- Description of change
- ---------------------
- With X11R6 the file KeyWSink.c does not compile. It is literally
- subclassing (in the Object Oriented sense) the Athena Text Sink
- widget. As such, it is quite dependent on the superclass's data.
- This data was the same for X11R4 and X11R5, but changed for X11R6.
-
- This keyword sink widget is used to highlight the index search words
- in a text display resulting from a gopher search (type 7 item). By
- installing Xgopher 1.3.3 *AND* compiling with X11R6 you give up this
- highlighting. Compiling Xgopher 1.3.3 with X11R4 or X11R5 still
- uses this keyword highlighting widget.
-
- This is, of course, not the ideal solution, but it will allow
- sites with X11R6 to use Xgopher. A more permanent solution will
- be forthcoming.
-
- I do not yet have X11R6 available to me, but I made some suggestions
- to Steve Kotsopoulos (<steve@ecf.toronto.edu>), who was good enough
- to make a very clean set of patches and test them under X11R6. I
- have installed his patches in the Xgopher 1.3 sources to release
- version Xgopher 1.3.3.
-
-
- ==============================================================================
- There are no new features in Xgopher 1.3.3 since the original release of
- Xgopher 1.3, only bug fixes (1.3.1 and 1.3.2), aid portability (1.3.2),
- and these changes to compile with X11R6 (1.3.3).
