1.15:
  Recent fixes in libX11 may well have fixed problems on some configurations.
  xfig on a public screen could allocate color 0 but libX11 assumed it couldn't..

1.14b:
  8 bitplane wb's triggered some slightly untested code..

1.14:
  Some internal libX11 fixes.

1.13:
  The requesters didn't have a default directory.
  When exporting then loading then exporting the export filename ended up with the wrong extension.

1.12:
  Found a bug when you tried to load a file via a relative path.
  libX11: Since intuition clipping has been removed the text wasn't clipped against
  the borders of the drawing area.
  libX11: FreeBitMap was called without a prior WaitBlit causing some ugly bitmaps.
  libX11: Some other bugs in libX11 removed.
  Compiled with SAS/C 6.57 (Great work guys!)

1.11:
  Improvements in libX11 should make zooming safer.
  No longer relying on intuition's clipping which had a tendency to freak out on the
  gfx card workbenches.
  In the edit window the forward/backward arrow type was incorrectly initialized.
  libx11: The last endpoint in a closed polygon didn't get any join gfx (bevel/miter/round).

1.10b:
  It appears I added some popup help texts on the buttons. Can't imagine why..
  When using the program on a public screeen most windows ended up on the workbench.
  (also when you move xfig to a public screen with PSI the colors won't be right until
   you start it the second time.)
  Values joinstyle/capstyle wasn't read correctly from the interface.
  Arcs with wide lines didn't look too good. Ellipses with wide lines probably didn't work
  either.
  Added miter and round joinstyles.

1.10:
  Enforcer hit if doing keyboard-input when none is expected. (XPutBackEvent not working)
  Added some thick line support in LibX11.
  Arrow types wasn't read correctly from the interface.
  Added help popups.
  'more options' and 'other options' windows had the same id.

1.9d:
  It turned out that the _t was used when outputting combined ps/LaTeX to insert the
  correct name of the ps file in the latex output by removing the _t from the file.
  The pstex_t extension had become pstext_t.

1.9c:
  Added a test on filled polygons to turn it off if it gets too big.

1.9b:
  alt generated character wasn't possible.

1.9:
  Export to "Combined PS/LaTeX (LaTeX part)" didn't work. (well, it did but filename had
  to have _t at the end for some reason)
  Special text/Hidden/Rigid buttons wasn't checked.
  The font cycle gadget wasn't changed when specifying -latexfonts
  LibX11 now recognizes Italic/Bold/BoldItalic fonts.
  All file requesters use different buffers.
  Automatic extension on export filename.
  Dashed/Dotted lines looks better now.
  'Corner radius' wasn't a slider when editing arc-boxes.

1.8b
  Made the program work with MUI3.0+. It also accidentaly made it work with XSize.., but
  this results in a conflict over the use of <ctrl> left mousebutton (zooming in xfig).
  Removed the saving of 'unnamed.fig' when cancel is pressed in the filerequester.
  Removed the input oddity of having to press 2 chars before both show up (after having
  used a control key (shift/alt etc)).
  Some other changes to the interface.

1.8
  In the 68000 version adding points to a line caused a crash. It seems that the optimizer
  produces faulty code if the prototypes aren't correct when generating 68000 code.
  Angle constraints wasn't activated when selected.
  Changing zoom scale caused 2 redraws.
  Some temp files were attempted to be written to 't:/'.
  added #?.fig filter in load/save requester.
  Dash length/Dot gap couldn't be set.
  Postscript fonts off by one in output.
  Changing text justification didn't. (Until one of the other options were changed)
  Arc type didn't change when changing the entry in the edit window.
  Editing closed interpolated splines caused the arrow window to show up.

1.7
  Improved upon the flip operation as it didn't redraw the region which the flip object left.
  Command line arguments didn't work too well..
  Thought about this env. var. x11home and couldn't find any reason for it not to be an assign.
  (libx11: should containt rgb.txt and AmigaDefaults)

1.6
  Updated the program to the latest X11 version 3.1.4. (lots of improvements..)
  Compressed images (.Z or .gz) are uncomressed with uncompress or gunzip.
  In order to help GIF into obscurity it has been removed..and replaced with iff.
  Added the xpm output format.
  1 bitplane text/images didn't get the correct color in output to image-files.
  Added support for datatypes loading of images.
  Added dr2d import. (only outline)
  Improved cursor handling.
  Setenv's are gone (except 'X11HOME') and replaced with entries in AmigaDefaults.
  Images/rotated text problems with gfx cards hopefully fixed.
  Added a missing 'size' option in loading of images.
  The background color now actually controls the background color..

1.5
  When cancel was pressed when saving the drawing was saved anyway as 'unnamed.fig'.
  When exiting the current directory wasn't the one at startup.
  File operations always started from 'ram:'.
  Rotated text is now visible as text when moving.
  'point position' would crash with 'any' selected. It has also been moved to 'other'.
  'zoom scale' changed into a string gadget.
  File requester ended up on workbench and not the current public screen.
  The grid and side ruler almost worked properly..(but was in fact 0/1 pixel off)
  Editing objects and changing to another object to edit didn't work.
  Zooming didn't remove the old rulermarks.
  Less clipping should make it more stable.
  Right mousebutton in canvas is now always reserved for xfig. (makes zoom-out work)
  Zooming of filled objects will turn off filling when the size excedes the size of
  the drawing area. (instead of using a huge amount of chip mem)

1.4
  Saving works better (for those who can..)
  Better handling of fonts.
  A lot of clipping may have caused the program to freeze sometimes.
  The grid what 1 pixel off and the sideruler marker was somewhat more off..
  Arrow toggles in edit windows were missing.
  Extreme sizing of canvas with filled objects improved somewhat.
  Somewhat improved resource handling.
  Better handling of images. Now ObtainBestPen is used inside the library when
  there aren't any free colors left.
  Accidentaly noticed the zoom icon when by pressing ctrl..and did some changes to
  make it work.

1.3
  Another attempt at the resize problem..
  Font now resizes propery.
  Moving rulers with middle mousebutton now redraws the drawing canvas.
  Added a redraw button for easier access.

1.2
  Also when middle mousebutton is usable is the menu disabled.
  (needs right mousebutton if middlemousebutton doesn't exist)
  unitbox activated.
  Middle mousebutton now drags ruler.
  markers were displayed outside the drawing canvas.
  fonts wasn't handled wery well, still isn't..but improving..

1.1
  Fixed iconify problem.
  Rearranged the edit vindow into more windows.

1.0 First release
