04/13/00: v1.0 -- announced
  - lacking reports indicating the contrary, I now consider the program mostly
    bug-free and am thus releasing a version 1.0 that can officially be
    considered stable
  - fixed another occurrence of the DST issue I had overlooked the other day

03/24/00: v0.99.2 -- announced
  - modified alarm time handling to remember the set date even for daily alarms
  - changed initialization of alarm times and dates
  - fixed an anomaly when run on WM and alarms were due on start-up
  - minor modification of the default alarm panel pixmap
  - DST fix
03/18/00: v0.99.1 -- announced
  - implemented much-requested alarm feature (consequently: had to modify the
    button bar (2 buttons changed, can't be closed via right-click any more);
    themeability updates; "--info", "--dump", "--dump-raw" output update)
    -> read the man page
  - dropped low-color support
  - (hopefully) fixed a range of potential race conditions
  - man page, theme kit updates (the latter is now included with the source
    package)
03/13/00: v0.99 -- announced
  - switched from xmkmf to configure
  - now uses existing getopt functions rather than the included source if
    possible
  - modified the drag-note-off-the-label behavior to switch to manual note
    placement as soon as the cursor is moved (as opposed to when it is moved
    off the label's area)
  - slightly modified cursor positioning after word-wrapping pastes
  - "--theme" now warns if specified theme file isn't accessible
  - added option "--info", printing user configuration information and some
    useless statistics; reduced "--version" output to mere version information
  - internal optimizations
  - man page updates

10/23/99: v0.10 -- announced
  - made the applet themeable, i.e., board/panel pixmaps and "TO DO" label
    location can be changed without recompilation (see the man page for 
    details); only, there are no themes yet :^)
  - made "--font" a configuration directive (as opposed to a run-time option);
    dropped the "-f" shortcut
  - extended "--version" output by user configuration information
  - changed behavior of "--add" to word-wrap after hyphens, too; added position
    code support for strings passed to "--add" ("%1".."%9", see man page)
  - changed pasting behavior: pasting using the mouse now attempts to word-
    wrap pasted (and subsequent, in insert mode) text; [Ctrl]-[I] will do a
    "raw" paste as before; X pasting code fix
  - changed color allocation behavior to allow for the program to be run in
    palette mode without having to be compiled with reduced-color pixmaps in
    some cases (no guarantees as to proper functioning in those circumstances)
  - now handles SIG{INT,TERM} properly, saving data if necessary and exiting
    cleanly

09/01/99: v0.9.2
  - implemented EMACS-style C-[npfb] cursor movement
  - added option to compile with even less colors
  - back to getopt, this time distributing its source along with the program's
  - fixed all non-ANSI-conforming segments of code I could find, hopefully
    enhancing portability
08/15/99: v0.9.1 -- announced
  - implemented IPC among multiple instances, preventing multiple interactive
    instances from running simultaneously, and allowing for deletion and
    addition of notes via the command line
  - ^C/R now result in a visual selection, too
  - made intermediate `=' optional for parameterized long command line options
  - slight changes to assignment of some colors to groups
  - bug fixes (double click selection at first column; cursor display vs.
    selection)
07/31/99: v0.9 -- announced
  - dropped the extensive README file in favor of a full-blown man page
  - added X clipboard support (via mouse, keyboard; see the man page)
  - left mouse button can now be used to drag notes without raising them
  - added possibility to place new notes before editing them by dragging them
    "off" the "TO DO" label
  - added command line options "--dump" and "--dump-raw" to list all notes'
    contents
  - added simulated wear & tear of notes (can be disabled at compile time)
  - "--version" now outputs information about compile-time options
  - made it possible to compile wmpinboard in a fashion optimized for low
    color depths (looks rather ugly, but at least it will _work_)
  - slight changes to the palette of available note colors
  - changed behavior of [Backspace] when pressed on the very last character
    (now just clears that if it isn't blank); an entire (intermediate) line can
    now be removed via ^Y or ^Z
  - fixed a problem related to AfterStep swallowing

06/06/99: v0.8.5
  - different animation upon note destruction
  - reverted from getopt() to manual command line parsing due to compatibility
    issues on non-GNU systems
05/18/99: v0.8.4 -- announced
  - in edit mode, note color can now be changed via ([Shift]-)[Tab]
  - switched from manual command line parsing to getopt functions (causing
    some changes to the set of parameters, but retaining backward
    compatibility)
04/19/99: v0.8.3 -- announced
  - only minor (internal) modifications
03/06/99: v0.8.2
  - added some eye candy (i.e., superfluous animations, can be disabled)
  - minor internal changes
02/23/99: v0.8.1 -- announced
  - added options to explicitly set/suppress WithdrawnState for better
    AfterStep Wharf compatibility; now tries to autodetect Window Maker
  - internal optimizations: tidied up the code and reduced memory usage
  - fixed a few small buglets
02/20/99: v0.8 -- announced
  - made some principal changes to the user interface in edit mode (right-
    clicking on the triangle now pops up a panel from which further actions
    can be chosen)
  - added drawing capabilities: you can now add simple sketches to notes
    (using the same color as the text)
  - uses alternate mouse cursors where appropriate
  - now remembers for each note where you left the cursor after editing it the
    previous time; the text cursor can now be placed using the mouse
  - [Shift]-[Up/Down] now cycles through notes of *roughly* the same color
  - some minor changes ([Esc], allow for fonts <= 7x10, adjustable timeout,
    modified some command line parameters' formats, minor modification of
    behavior in "-c" mode)
  - rewrote about half of the README file to fit the altered user interface and
    generally make it more instructive

01/10/99: v0.7 -- announced
  - major redesign concerning character input and output, i.e.:
     - switched from character images to real X fonts (any 8bit 6x10 font
       should work)
     - support for input and displaying of local characters (including
       appropriate handling of dead keys)
  - switched to a binary data file format
  - added experimental optional "click to focus" emulation mode
  - made note timeout optional (command line parameter)

01/06/99: v0.6 -- unreleased
  - major changes to the program's overall appearance
  - notes now are 10*6 (-1) in size, and there may be up to 20 of them
  - notes can no longer be removed by dragging them off the board
  - right-clicking the triangle in edit mode now clears the note on first click
  - changes to the keyboard handling (low-level; plus, added insert mode,
    deleting of entire lines, and the ability to cycle through notes in edit
    mode)

01/03/99: v0.5.5 -- announced
  - just some minor changes to the documentation
01/01/99: v0.5.4
  - modified keyboard handling ([End]) and edit mode note coloring
  - changed the set of colors available for notes
  - in edit mode, both the left and right mouse buttons can now be used to
    switch colors (in opposite directions)
12/31/98: v0.5.3
  - fixed keyboard handling to avoid blocking of WM accelerators
  - slight modification of the X window initialization procedure to improve
    docking behavior in some circumstances
12/30/98: v0.5.2
  - fixed a bug introduced in v0.5.1 (note display timeout)
12/29/98: v0.5.1 -- announced
  - fixed a bug raising a note's icon to the top when left-clicking on it
  - minor code optimizations
12/26/98: v0.5 -- initial release (unannounced)
