Hi !

1.5pre4 is on ftp.afterstep.org in incoming.

So I guess it'll be available soon.

Changes from pre3 to pre4:

* now it compiles :-) ./install.script means easy compilation for beginners
* no more bpm/man path confusio
* added a Paste function (mapped to Ctrl-V)
* wharf changes (both Ethan Ficher's _great_ work)
* nearly complete version (only lacks xiterm which is being improved)


			       BUT WE NEED HELP.


Please code a bit if you can. (if anyone fixed only 1 bug, 1.5.0 could be here
tomorrow !!)

Here's the buglist/things to code before reaching 1.5.0 :

 * KillModuleByName is broken

 * Update look & feel : afterstep complains of
AfterStep: internal error
      Request 54, Error 4
      EventType: 5

 * "sgmltools" is not detected correctly due to autoconf bug (not to AfterStep)

 o I18N patch to DrawTitlebar in borders.c is not in?!  it was in the
   scr.patch, but not the 1.5core; in fact, compilation with I18N
   fails badly, even with the unmodified 1.5core

 o check TitlebarNoPush - titlebar relief pattern is messed up when
   textures are used (comes from stepgfx.c, I think)

 o need thorough cleaning of global variable initialization!!!!
   InitVariables should either initialize the first time AS starts,
   or on restart, but not both; many variables are simply overwritten
   instead of freed properly on restart

* Huge titlebars don't have gradients on the right end

* "Move to DESK N" is broken. like all window ops functions

* Take 2 xiterm, put the first one over Quit button of the 2nd, shade the
1st : 2nd xiterm looses its Quit button ! Happens with every app

* Reported Num_Lock bug again : makes you loose focus after some days of use
Happened to me ... without NumLock, by 00:05. May be related to time ??????
Day changing ? (looks like a pre Y2K bug ;-)

* NEW_ICON code has been completely broken

* HUGE memory leak (try ps -axu when you launch afterstep, then some hours
later)

* Moreover, after applying some new style patches, AS crashes on 3rd Restart

* aspostit
Hidden notes : try to hide / save all notes / Exit

Then reopen : it's not working !!!

Hidden notes is not working : display even unhidden notes !

Raise/Lower sometimes not working

Worst of all : right click root note win can lose focus & never gain it again

* astile & ascascade
Should order the window. Just fast hack from fvwm2 modules ... but don't work
at all !

* replace all forms by script equivalents

o add a _include_share in any dir from ~/GNUstep/L/A/ to include all /usr/share
files to current dir without having to cp them
