Hi,

is there a list of changes, new features for 2.0.1?
No, there isn't.  We should make one for the upcoming 2.0.2 release.

There are a couple of important changes I introduced recently that have
impact on users:

1)  If you are using Xastir with a Kenwood APRS radio with attached GPS,
     you need to open up the interface dialog for that interface and deselect
     "Send Control-E to get GPS data?"  That's because we finally fixed a bug
     in the "Serial TNC w/ GPS on AUX port" interface type that had been
     causing Kenwood radios to emit "Eh?" a lot --- it was clumsily worked
     around in previous releases, but now that the source of the problem was
     clearly identified, it has been fixed properly.  But existing users who
     have interfaces of this type must take action.

2)  I have removed the clumsy hack that was put in to work around the one
     broken version of Xorg-server (1.7.5) that broke Motif programs.  That
     hack caused the context menus to be transient when you clicked the right
     mouse button instead of real pop-ups that stuck around after the click.
     The bug in the Xorg-server version was fixed promptly, but not before
     several old distros made that version their default.  There should be
     very few of those in the wild, so this hack was ifdef'd out.  Users who
     continue to use some distro for which 1.7.5 is still in use need to
     configure Xastir with the --with-xorg_175_workaround option to re-enable
     the hack.

3)  There have been fixes to the Davis and LaCrosse weather station code.  Users
     of these two station types (that use an external glue program to feed
     weather data from a database) must recompile and install the associated
     glue program (in the Davis or LaCrosse subdirectories).

Other than those few very recent changes, I can't recall what else is in
there.  We'll have to sift through CVS commit logs to make a definitive change
list.  Most have been minor bug fixes, as I recall.
