Bugs should be reported by direct email to:
  Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
  (please cc: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@debian.org>)

Please do not use the Sourceforge.net bugtracker.  If you did, please
drop us a note, or chances are your bug will never be noticed.

KNOWN BUGS:
  - Setting a password on the printers/ CUPS URI will cause xpp to 
    misbehave, and eventually segfault.

    This is caused by the very early call to FLTK widgets to
    get the password.  Proposed fix is to move all function
    and GUI code out of the printFiles::printFiles constructor
    and call it later, after the main window has been completely
    activated.

  - The code needs a throghout audit to remove potential buffer
    overflows.  It is safe for non-suid use, but do NOT use xpp
    in a suid/sgid environment, or as a component of any such
    environment.

  - The autotools environment is suboptimal, and will not enable XPP
    to be compiled everywhere it could.

    We need help from people in such environments to fix this. So, if
    XPP won't compile in your system because it lacks this-or-that
    function that we could support by using GNU liberty, alternate
    versions of certain function calls, or alternate libraries,
    please drop us a note.

    A very sane X11 and FLTK setup *is* required though.  Keep that in
    mind.
