The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
Release 0.92.98
of the LessTif library!
This "pico" release is a preparation for the first major release
of LessTif in 2001.
That'll follow soon.
This will be the first major release that works well with GNU Emacs!
Other highlights include bugfixes involving NEdit, improved
internationalisation (i18n) support, and a first implementation
of printing support (works with Xinvest).
As usual we fixed some bugs in the libraries and tried to further
improve the configuration and build process.
Check out the NOTES and ChangeLog files for details on what we have done!
>From this release on, Xbae and Xlt, two widget sets that have been a part
of LessTif releases for a while, are separated from LessTif.
They will be released separately from now on, to keep release schedule
problems and configuration headaches to a minimum.
About LessTif:
LessTif is a LGPL'd implementation of the OSF/Motif standard GUI toolkit
for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the OSF/Motif versions 1.2
and 2.1. We're almost done with the 1.2 part, but we still lack
some substantial parts of the 2.1 functionality. (Actually
most 2.x applications do already build, but may not work properly yet.)
So at this point, almost all Motif 1.2 apps compile and run
out of the box with LessTif! The LessTif Core team is interested
in hearing about Motif applications which don't work with LessTif.
Bug reports are welcome; patches are even more welcome!
More information, source code, and binaries for several platforms
are available at:
