A new release of XPM is now available, I don't include the patch here because it
is 2800 lines long but you can get it by ftp from contrib on expo.lcs.mit.edu
and from pub on avahi.inria.fr. If you can't ftp mail me and I'll send it to you
by mail.
Here is the extract of the CHANGES file which tell you everything to know:
2.8 (90/12/19)
******************************* WARNING *********************************
Since the last release two structures have been modified and have now
bigger sizes, so ANY CODE USING THE libXPM2 NEEDS TO BE RECOMPILED.
*************************************************************************
NEW FEATURES:
- the ColorSymbol struct contains the new member 'pixel' which allow
to override default colors by giving a pixel value (in such a case
symbol value must be set to NULL),
- the XpmInfo struct contains the new member 'rgb_fname' in which one
can specify an rgb text file name while writing a pixmap with the
XWritePixmapFile function (otherwise this member should be set to
NULL). This way colorname will be searched and written out if found
instead of the RGB value,
- Imakefile originally provided by stolcke@ICSI.Berkeley.EDU,
- the old Makefile is now distributed as Makefile.noXtree and presents
install targets,
- the demo application is renamed sxpm (Show XPM), creates a window of
the size of the pixmap if no geometry is specified, prints out
messages instead of status when an error occurs, handles the new
option -p for overriding colors by giving a pixel value (not really
useful but is just here to show this new feature), handles the new
option -rgb for specifying an rgb text file, and ends on
keypress as buttonpress,
- defines for SYSV have been provided by Paul Breslaw
<paul@mecazh.uucp>,
- the distribution includes a new directory called converters which
contains xpm1to2 and xpm1to2c perl converters and a ppmtoxpm2
converter provided by Paul Breslaw who upgraded the original ppmtoxpm
written by Mark W. Snitily <mark@zok.uucp>.
CHANGES TO THE DOC:
- this file is created and will give old users a quick reference to
changes made from one release to the next one,
- documentation is changed to present the new ColorSymbol structure
and the way to override colors by giving a pixel value, and to present
the new XpmInfo structure and how to use it,
- a man page for sxpm is added to the distrib,
- the README file talks about sxpm and no more demo, and have
reference to the different converters.
