[comp.windows.x] xfig 2.0 patchlevel 8 available

envbvs@epb2.lbl.gov (Brian V. Smith) (06/28/90)

I have just put xfig 2.0 patch level 8 on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212)
for anonymous ftp.  It is in the directory /contrib and is called
xfig-2.0.pl8.tar.Z.   Be sure to set binary mode when transferring it.

I have also mailed the source to comp.sources.x, so it should appear
there when Dan's workload permits.

The CHANGES description follows:

Patchlevel 8
Changes from patchlevel 7:

o Many bugs fixed with flipping arcs, malloc/free, popup menu 
    going off screen, gcc warnings, etc.

o Bug fixed in redisplay.c where all but the most recently created
    compounds' objects were invisible
o Changed code that assumed a (char *) return value for sprintf
    to follow POSIX and ANSI C standard of returning int.

    longer supported :-(
