=====================
In the last version (2.3) there was a bug that after saving your animation
you had lost the real filename in your file-requester, this is now fixed.
Also, the last version had some trouble with the gadget-box when you hit one
of the color-gadgets. If you moved the mouse after clicking on it (if you
were fast enough that is) you could select another color than you meant to.
I think I've fixed that to.
Animations wasn't without bugs either. If you chose to save an animation
you could not quit the animation when entering the animation-number. Another
small bug fixed.
The gadgets for the style functions and insert toggle were 'fake' gadgets,
that is to say, I programmed them myself and were not really adequate for
my needs, so in this version I implemented 'real' gadgets for these pur-
poses. Future version will also have 'real' gadgets to select the colors.
Another annoying thing about 2.3 was that is spent most of it's time in a
busy-waiting loop. This took up quite some CPU time and you may have
noticed that your CLI was running considerably slower after running DIEd.
No more busy-waiting in this version.
The solving of the busy-waiting problem posed another problem. I've
removed the Munchies because I didn't fancy building in a troublesome
timer routine for these. Wait for another update (they weren't all that
usefull anyway, but still nice).

Nothing much, I couldn't figure out more animations at the moment, and
although the program sometimes crashes when you're trying to mark a block
I haven't found out what is causing this bug yet.
One distanct change in the menus is the possibility to view a file without
losing the one you edit.
I didn't have time to implement a safe version of this program, so it still
doesn't check if you have enough memory to run it.
Nicer graphics (not really what you would call a major update though).

=============================================
-Extended, and faster graphics.
-Nicer (and more) gadgets.
-'Real' gadgets for the colors.
-More animations, including line-animations
-CLI default color switch, so you don't have to pick the colors every
time you change your CLI-colors to see if they look good.
-Adjustable screen-saver to prefent the burning in of your monitor
-Lots of other stuff
I might implement a multi-screen version of DIEd, but that'll have to wait
for some time.
