**AUGUST - HTML Editor for LINUX/UNIX

**Version: 0.63b 2001-04-16

**Send bug reports & comments to: johanb@lls.se

**Changes in this release:

*Balloon help has replaced the status bar indicator.
*A bug in the file_save_as proc is fixed.
*Preview button removed and replaced by a Preview menu with
keyboard shortcuts.
*Experimental preview with Konqueror browser.
*Improved insertation of <A HREF tag. It one highlights an URL the code will
wrap around it.
*Insert date/time from tools menu.

**Changes in 0.62b release:

*Fixed syntax highlighting bug that caused it to miss last visible line in the
window.
*Syntax highlighting is now slightly faster.
*Added local link functionality to hyperlink button.
*Minor adjustments and additions to help file and tool tips.
*Editor line wrap setting is now properly saved.
*Syntax higlighting now works when opening files with the "-all"
command line switch.

**Changes in 0.61b release:

*The weblint syntax check window now prints weblint version number.
*Fixed bug that prevented the use of html tags with """ in the
user configurable menu.
*Changed the format of the "Augustoptions.tcl" file - you may have to
delete or edit the old file to be able to run August. See "install.txt" for
more info.

**Changes in 0.60b release:

*Syntax highlighting - basic but useful.
*August can now be configured to use the last directory
visited when opening and saving files.
*Syntax check with Weblint.
*New keyboard shortcuts: F1: Help, F2: Use template, F3: Manage user menu,
F4: Weblint check, F5: Updates syntax coloring, F6: August options.
*Set font size relative in font size/color dialog.
*August is now available as a wrapped standalone executable.
*Bugfixes.

**Changes in 0.53 release:

This is mostly a bug fix release:
*You can no longer run multiple August windows. Running multiple windows can create seriuos
confusion if the user opens the same file twice in different instances of August...;-)
If you try to start another instance of August you will just deiconify the original window.
*Undo now also works with lines that contain """, "[" or "{" characters.
Also some new features:
*Spanish and Italian special characters insertation.
*Added "*.PHP" format to the file selector in the "Open file" dialog.
*Yes, August can be used under MS Windows (Macintosh anybody?). I actually added the possibility to preview
your work under NT to this version (untested). But this is "unsupported"...;-)

**Changes in 0.52 release:

*User configurable tag menu.
*Added "*.PNG" format to the file selector in the insert image dialog.
*You can now insert the basefont tag by right clicking on the "Font size and color" button.
*Added "misc" to fontselector in options dialog.
*Bug fixes (file_close, file_save_as).

NOTE:
If you have been running August 0.42, you'd better take a look at the hidden ".August" subdirectory in your
home directory. This particular release creates a lot of buffer files that isn't erased when August is shut
down, so there may be large number of files there. Just do "rm *.bf" and they are gone. Hint: Don't do
this when August is running!

**Changes in 0.50 release:

*Improved search and replace: Search in all open files, "replace all" without prompting,
search from cursor.
*Added "Save all files" command to the "File" menu.
*August can now be started with the "-all" option, which will load all
*.html, *.htm, *.css and *.txt files in the current directory.
*It is now possible to change font and font size in the editor in the "August options"
dialog.
*It is now possible to set editor line wrap to "None", "Word" or "Char  in the "August options"
dialog.
*Improved status bar.
*New vertical button bar.
*Bug fixes.

NOTE:
If you have been running August 0.42, you'd better take a look at the hidden ".August" subdirectory in your
home directory. This particular release creates a lot of buffer files that isn't erased when August is shut
down, so there may be large number of files there. Just do "rm *.bf" and they are gone. Hint: Don't do
this when August is running!

*The width & height of images is set automatically (with a little help from Image Magick...) in the
"Insert image" dialog.
*Removed the user adjustable limit on undo - undo is now truly unlimited!;-)
*You should now be able to run several August windows at once - I haven't tested this much so...

So far only swedish is available. Read more about this in specchars.txt.
