<H1>Changes And News</H1>
This chapter describes the differences and incompatibilities compared
to the previous version. For older versions, refer to the files
<A HREF="../CHANGES">CHANGES</A> and <A HREF="../NEWS">NEWS</A> coming
with the archives.
<H2>Changes</H2>
These are the improvements and bugfixes:

<PRE>
 hsc:
 - fixed bug: assignments like "sepp=(''+sepp)" resulted into an
   empty string, independent of the value of sepp
 - fixed bug in comment parser: "&lt;* *x&gt; *&gt;" aborted comment context
   too soon, and the second "&gt;", that actually closed the comment,
   caused message#30 (unmatched `&gt;') [Olaf Burkart]
 - fixed bug: column in message position sometimes had strange
   values within nested macros
 - fixed bug: on scanning image size, buffer exceeding was
   recognised too late (used "+" instead of "-"...)
 - fixed a portability problem when reading images: now it uses
   `fopen(file, "rb")' instead of just `fopen(file, "r")' [Walter
   Doerwald]
 - fixed some minor problems in the error handling of image files
 - added message#4 "error reading file"
 - added message#5 "too many errors or messages"
 - added CLI option MAXMSG
 - added support for CLI option MAXERR to make it work as described
   in the documentation
 - added support for hexadecimal entities (like "&amp;#x6c34;")
 - added (again) detection of illegal white space within entities
   [Oliver Roberts]
 - removed some static string arrays and replaced them by dynamic
   ones
 - validated the correctness of the jfif/jpeg-scanner and removed
   entry from "known bugs"

 documentation:

 - added Postscript-version of manual and made it available in
   separate archive (hsc-ps.lha)
 - added "docs/usecases.html" describing how to accomplish certain
   tasks of maybe common interest
 - added "docs/changes.html" describing everything new for the
   current release. This is generated from the files CHANGES and
   NEWS, which still describe all releases.
 - added two missing pixels to the ghosted version of the
   Contents-icon
 - rewrote "docs/project/index.html"

 hsc.prefs:

 - still contains the same rotten stuff as in the last release, but
   see "docs/usecases.html" for a experimental "hsc.prefs" for
   html-4.0

 miscellaneous:
 - compiled with gcc 2.7.2.1
</PRE>
<H2>News</H2>
These are the things you have to take care of only if you upgrade an
already existing installation. They are most likely of no use for new
users.

<PRE>
- Hsc does no more create a new project file if you specify a
  non-existent one with the CLI-option PRJFILE. Instead, you will have
  to create it using "hscpitt new" before.

  If you are not already familiar with hscpitt, maybe you will want to
  give a short look to `docs/project/index.html', because it now
  contains a short sort-of tutorial to the basic commands of hscpitt
  and hscdepp.

- There is no more `hsc-all.lha', but only a `hsc-source.lha' that now
  also contains the documentation, and therefore the same contents as
  `hsc-all.lha' in earlier versions.
