-
- =====================
-
- 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.
