The LessTif Core Team is pleased to announce
Release 0.93.44
of the LessTif library!
This is an intermediate release:
- work is started to extend LessTif to work with the Xft library
(see http://fontconfig.org) so we can work with anti-aliased fonts.
- Fix for a memory leak in TextF.c
- Quick fix to try to implement overstrike behaviour in XmText.
- Fix for bug #736415 (XmText widget still buggy) - the code that determined
a string length claimed to take tabs into account but didn't correctly do so.
- Fix for bug #721016 : in an OptionMenu, while holding down the mouse left
button, dragging it onto the label gadget (label of the OptionMenu) and
then releasing it causes the X Server to hang.
- Fix for bug #721010 "text is displayed in the reverse order in TextWidget"
Selecting the text by double clicking on it and then deleting it with a
backspace in a TextWidget causes the text typed afterwards to be displayed
in the reverse order.
- Patch provided by Herbert Xu : fixes comparison bugs on platforms with
unsigned char as the default.
- Patch by Peter Breitenlohner for various build/install problems.
- Fix the problem reported by DIG in textf/test12 - TextField was
not always drawing correctly.
About LessTif:
LessTif is a "free" (LGPL'd) implementation of the OSF/Motif standard
GUI toolkit for X11. LessTif aims to be source compatible with the Motif
(a product of The OpenGroup) versions 1.2 and 2.1.
So at this point, nearly all Motif 1.2 apps compile and work out of the box
with LessTif! We still lack substantial parts of the new 2.1 functionality,
but most 2.x applications can already be built, and used (many don't use
the 2.x novelties).
Some run-time problems however may still exist. 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
