I've just put a new cvs snapshot up at
http://www.math.psu.edu/raven/blackbox.html
Hopefully this version should take care of the following
outstanding bugs :
1. 8-bit TrueColor should now work, just in case you're dying
to see something even uglier than 8-bit Pseudocolor.
2. Those folks who were having problems with 24-bit TrueColor
on Solaris boxes... Blackbox should now run without error.
The correct solution is still the one mentioned here on the
list (making sure that the X server is run with a 24 bit
default visual), but at least you should get window decorations
now if you don't. Though the colormap changes will probably
get annoying...
3. It should hopefully compile under RedHat 7.0. Hope hope hope...
I'm fairly certain 1 & 2 are actually fixed, but I'm just guessing
about 3. So if you've been having any of these problems, I'd
appreciate it if you could try the new snapshot and let me know
if they're fixed.
As for the rest of you : these were the last major issues that
I'd been hoping to resolve before release 0.61.1 STABLE... if
these are actually fixed I'm aiming for a release by this coming
Monday. If you've got time to kill. please bang away at this
latest snapshot to make sure the stable release is worthy of
the name.
Thanks,
Jeff Raven
