June 30, 1998
Release 1.20 has some major additions, and some bug fixes.
OpenGL is now supported for MS-Windows, and support has been
improved for X. VGEN has OpenGL support.
The Clipboard is supported for text.
The Text Editor class has been greatly improved.
A V IDE is included.
vApp:CloseAppWin has been changed from void to int to allow your
app to correctly abort an exit operation. This will require
slight editing of all existing V apps.
Startup code has been separated to allow DLLs.
Documentation source code is no longer included in the standard
distribution - just the PostScript and HTML.

Release 1.19 has some minor bug fixes from 1.18. The main new
thing is the addition of a CA_Password attribute for text input
controls to allow you to build password dialogs. The VGEN V shell
application generator has had extensive revision. It is now
easier to generate App shells without menu or canvas objects. On
Windows, VGEN now generates a Makefile that is compatible with
the Mingw32 make.
The project files for Microsoft C++ and WATCOM C++ have been
updated and tested. The support for the Mingw32 compiler has been
substantially improved - mostly in improved Makefiles.
What's next? There has been some difficulty getting the MS-Windows
OpenGL support working well, so I hope to include that with 1.20.
I will also add support for pop-up menus intended to be used with
right mouse clicks. The time frame for this is likely July.
-----------------
March 15, 1998
Release 1.18 adds Tool Tip capability to V. You can now easily
add Tool Tips to command objects. It also includes the Motif
version which works with LessTif as well. A few minor bugs have
been fixed. Also, you can now specify a width for list controls,
and the vBeep function has been added. Full mingw32 support is
now included.

February 1, 1998
Release 1.17 has a few minor bug fixes, and some minor additions
in functionality. V has been remarkably stable, with very few bug
reports.
