====================
New in langdrill 0.3
====================

Uses Gtk2.

======================
New in langdrill 0.2.1
======================

Now the LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES must be set before running the 
program. For example, to use Japanese language and English in 
stock messages (like FileOpen messages) set these environmental
variables:

LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.ujis
LC_MESSAGES=C

You can also launch the langdrill by:

LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.ujis LC_MESSAGES=C ./langdrill 

If you don't want to set these variables in you .profile (for instance).

========================
New in langdrill 0.2.0.3
========================

Corrected bug in EventConnect. Still waiting for Mario to confirm the
code breaking in VDKText.

========================
New in langdrill 0.2.0.2
========================

Updated the default.drill and langdrill.rc

========================
New in langdrill 0.2.0.1
========================

Added new number for debian version.

Debian specific: compiled with gtk 1.2 and vdk 0.6.0.

======================
New in langdrill 0.2.0
======================

Langdrill is now in freeze stage. :-) 
Now only the .drill files will be updated.

Important changes:
- added the simple quizz page. this page has a text box in which you 
are supposed to type the answer. Tested with skkinput and kinput2.
I reccomend skkinput, but be carreful: langdrill sigsegvs when you 
try to close it and the skkinput was not closed. This looks like a 
bug in skkinput.
- the langdrill now looks for langdrill.rc (name can be defined in Makefile)
in your choosed configuration directory (for instance /etc) or in the
home and current directory for .langdrill. Order for lookup is: current, 
home and finally configuration directory.
- changed the name of some defines.
- langdrill now knows what to do when you load a wrong configuration file.
Actually, the new configuration file is considered only if it was loaded 
and parsed succesfully.

======================
New in langdrill 0.1.9
======================

Changed the iconisation algo, as VDK knows now to handle this. 
Therefore the iconic.hh and iconic.cc were removed as that 
functionality is provided directly by VDK.
(Jan. 22, 1999)

Nothing new. Made this just to correct some errors wich I've made in 
working with the cvs.
(Jan. 18, 1999)

======================
New in langdrill 0.1.8
======================

Changed the "Start Button" to a CheckButton. Added more check buttons.
Now the window can also be minimized, not only hiden. That's cool :-)
Thank's to Pierre Hanser for posting these convenience functions
on gtk-list some time ago. See iconic.* for additional info.

======================
New in langdrill 0.1.7
======================

Added the timer page. This allows users to use the langdrill similar 
with a daemon:
- you set the time spent in backgound;
- eventually set the good answer needed for going background automaticaly 
 (for this to take effect you also have to check the corresponding 
 checkbox);
- press the "Start Timer" button.
Start use the langdrill. As long as the timer is working, trying to close
the application will actually hide it. To stop it, you have to explicitly
stop the timer first (by pressing the "Stop Timer").

I was forced to move the CList with words as the first page of the notebook
to avoid sigsegvs. Ugly solution, but it works for now.
(Jan. 17, 1999)

======================
New in langdrill 0.1.6
======================

Deleted the entries for font names. Also the ones for Width and 
Height of controls. The Width and Height are still used (and 
you can set them in the .drill files), but the fontNames are no more
supported. The "Words and Expressions" is named now "Quizzes". The 
"Possible Answers" entry was moved on the "Quizzes" (main) tabpage.
A new tab page, "Solutions", was added. while the "Setup" page was 
deleted. The "Solutions" has a clist that shows all the words and
their meaning from the selected lessons. The "Sense" frame, "Lessons"
clist, "Start/Reset", "Reload" and "Load" buttons have been moved from 
the notebook on the main page.

======================
New in langdrill 0.1.5
======================

There is now a "langrill.rc" file which contains the fontset
info needed by gtk to correctly display Japanese. The code
was simplified. Now Japanese is handled by gtk+, no more
support from my account and I suspect  you need a working
locale. Till I discover how to set and load a fontset at runtime, 
fonts are no more changed dinamically. The sorce files used to do the
Japanese parsing were removed. The coding system for Japanese 
was changed to ja/EUC as this is what GTK requires.
(Ian. 4, 1999)

The default input file is now "default.drill".
"lesson1.rj" has been renamed to "romaji.drill".
(Dec. 15, 1998)

Simplified the input file. No more nead for lessonNr and 
lessonTitleXXX fields. langdrill scans now the input file and 
considers lessons all sections, excepting the "Application"
one, which contain the general settings.
(Dec. 14, 1998)

Added Load/Reload button. Now the configuration file can be 
modified and the changes reloaded by clicking Reload. No more 
need for close/restart. Also, by clicking Load... a FileOpen 
dialog is opened and a new config file can be choosed.
(Dec. 13, 1998)

Changed the main section in "Application".
