- You cannot believe the difference! Blow away the old one
- and get the 3.0 version. The new one may be a bit more complex
- (well, the 1.X version was so simple, anything else is more
- complex), but there's much more functionality (and some major
- bugs were squashed).
-
- The new Connections manager is fantastic, the Project metaphor
- is extremely helpful in piecing together separate .G files (was
- a major league pain in 1.1), graphical depiction of your .G files,
- the file-chooser object, the new GROUP XView object, the drag-n-drop
- convenience routines, the src for these plus the src for reading
- .G files...
-
- It's a major improvement. It's a no-brainer; definitely upgrade.

- If it only could handle fonts (you only get 1) and
- panel/panel-item colors (e.g., I want my panel_list to be white
- with the underlying panel to be cadet-blue) a little better...
