Fri, 17 Dec 1999 05:05:32 +0100

	* Various changes to work even when a GUI is present :)

Mon,  6 Dec 1999 23:53:30 +0100

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: fixed set_record_no()
	  when used to create a new record (it failed on subtables that
	  had not every fields)

Fri,  3 Dec 1999 17:54:36 +0100

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added support for
	  T_RECORDS fields to <subtable>->get_record_no() (it (logically)
	  creates a list of records)

Thu,  2 Dec 1999 19:10:21 +0100

	  and put a sample CGI using the new Python gaby module

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 00:45:04 +0100

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/: added a gabymodule.so target that
	  allows to use a normal Python and simply 'from gaby import *'
	  to reach a new level of fun (but it is not built by default
	  and there is not an 'install' target)

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 18:09:11 +0100

	* src/gabyscript.c, src/nogui_main.[ch], windows.c,
	  plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: various enhancements to
	  allow gabyscript to build correctly on a computer (mine (my
	  HD crashed 3 weeks ago)) without GTK (it still needs tweaking
	  the Makefile's)

Fri,  5 Nov 1999 17:39:25 +0100

	* src/tables.c, src/gtk_menu.c: File/Save was broken since
	  1.9.13 and nobody noticed that (excepted pfau@izfp.fhg.de). Now
	  fixed :)

Tue,  2 Nov 1999 23:04:08 +0100

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added two (hidden by default)
	  buttons to go to the first/last records and the possibility
	  to show them (Preferences/Form)

Tue,  2 Nov 1999 16:46:08 +0100

	* plug-ins/view/xlist/xlist.c: added the possibility to save
	  columns'widths (right-clicking on a record, I should find
	  a way that works even without records). Idea by H. Visnen
	  <hvaisane@joyds1.joensuu.fi>

Sun, 31 Oct 1999 15:21:54 +0100

	* plug-ins/intepreter/ptyhon/python.c, src/actions.c: added a
	  text mode to the select_subtable_dialog() function and fixed
	  a few bugs in do_action_script_fu()

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 23:08:01 +0200

	* Released 1.9.14

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 22:59:44 +0200

	  buttons from the edit window

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 20:44:51 +0200

	* src/gtk_error_dlg.c: fixed segfaults when an error occured
	  and Gaby tried to print it on stderr using swapped fputs args :(

Sat, 23 Oct 1999 20:43:07 +0200

	* src/gtk_main.c, src/gtk_menu.c: fixed compilation of plain-gtk
	  version (thanks to the report from utz@serv.net)

Fri, 22 Oct 1999 21:36:17 +0200

	* Released 1.9.13

Thu, 21 Oct 1999 16:26:58 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/canvas.c: applied patch from Berend that
	  fixed some issues with bad font description strings (in the
	  canvas view)

Wed, 20 Oct 1999 16:38:30 +0200

	* src/gtk_main.c, src/gtk_manage_dlg.c,
	  plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: cleaned the 'select a
	  subtable' dialogs; the current mechanism even looks like if
	  it was designed before than coded :)

Mon, 18 Oct 1999 19:11:01 +0200

	* src/main.c: added two new options to start gaby:
	  --disable-other-windows and --skip-startup-actions; they are
	  documented in the man page

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 18:36:13 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/canvas.c: made fonts selectable by the
	  user (in Gabyrc, not yet in a configuration box). Nice patch
	  from Berend.

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 17:38:33 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added 3 buttons (add, modify,
	  delete) at the bottom of sublists (for T_RECORDS fields);
	  they are disabled for now but will soon be useful (I hope)

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 16:11:41 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/gnomecard/gnomecard.c: applied patch from Berend
	  that adds settings and help menu to the GnomeCard 'emulation'

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 16:10:58 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added a select_subtable()
	  function that pops up a dialog asking the user to select a
	  subtable then (in a modal-like way) returns this subtable to
	  the Python script while NOT being modal for the rest of the app

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 15:10:34 +0200

	* src/windows.c: fixed the long-standing bug that caused Gaby
	  to segfault after clicking 'Cancel' in import dialog (if the
	  table was empty)

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 11:18:13 +0200

	* src/records.c: removed the GLib-CRITICAL (g_date_compare) that
	  terrified people for too long (fix in records_are_different())

Tue,  5 Oct 1999 16:09:40 +0200

	* src/gtk_manage_dlg.c: added support for 'import' when compiled
	  with Miguel wishes

Tue,  5 Oct 1999 14:32:39 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/filter/filter.c: fixed the filter view that
	  was broken after my changes to the plug-ins mechanism (a long
	  time ago)

Tue,  5 Oct 1999 14:23:39 +0200

	* src/gtk_menu.c, src/gtk_config_dlg.c, src/gtk_print_dlg.c:
	  cleaned to use the global list variables instead of ugly
	  gtk_object_get_data()'s

Sat,  2 Oct 1999 19:27:16 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/gnomecard/gnomecard.c: added 'Commit' and 'Cancel'
	  buttons to the edit window [patch from Berend]

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 16:20:40 +0200

	* Released 1.9.12

Wed, 29 Sep 1999 17:33:21 +0200

	* Applied patch from Berend De Schouwer that adds xpms from
	  the gnome-pim gnomecard for 'New' and 'Modify' and that makes
	  'New' to creates a new card

Mon, 27 Sep 1999 13:33:50 +0200

	* src/gtk_main.c, src/windows.c: fixed two little bugs that
	  caused the 'windows binding' dialog not to work since 1.9.10

Sun, 26 Sep 1999 15:52:17 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c, plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added a 'lines'
	  property to the Strings type so that it is now possible to have
	  2-lines addresses without needing an huge text box with 10 lines

Sat, 25 Sep 1999 19:38:59 +0200

	* src/tables.c, src/tests/*: table_next() turn to be fixed;
	  every basic operations _should_ now be working perfectly

Sat, 25 Sep 1999 00:59:00 +0200

	* src/tables.c, src/tests/*: yet another incredible innovative
	  ChangeLog entry to tell exactly the same thing; this time it
	  was table_last that was broken

Thu, 23 Sep 1999 23:36:15 +0200

	* src/tables.c, src/tests/*: fixed yabiim (yet another bug in
	  indexing mechanism) thanks to yant (yet another new test);
	  I'm starting to think test cases are the best thing since
	  ... (fill with your favorite dr^H^Hthing)

Thu, 23 Sep 1999 17:54:35 +0200

	* src/tables.c, src/tests/*: fixed yet another bug that appeared
	  when removing the last record; a test suite is really useful
	  (now 5 tests)

Wed, 22 Sep 1999 23:24:54 +0200

	* src/tests/*: started to write tests for basic functions
	  (add, remove, ...) to avoid new buggy (on the database-level)
	  releases (don't worry: they will still be able to be buggy on
	  the GUI level)

Tue, 21 Sep 1999 23:15:36 +0200

	* src/tables.c, src/records.c: fixed the 'I have to keep my
	  friends all my life' bug (ie removing records didn't work);
	  this is so critical that I put a patch on the website

Mon, 20 Sep 1999 23:09:57 +0200

	* Released 1.9.11

Mon, 20 Sep 1999 22:52:19 +0200

	* doc/make-doc: fixed documentation installation (the files
	  weren't installed)

Mon, 20 Sep 1999 17:06:36 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/gnomepim/gnomepim.c: disabled this plug-in
	  when not compiled with --enable-miguel-wishes; I tried it
	  and it segfaulted. Since I'm not going to spend time on Corba
	  right now, it is now disabled.

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 19:08:22 +0200

	* src/gtk_print_dlg.c: fixed a bug that caused segfaults when
	  printing (and not compiled with miguel-wishes (I became
	  addicted)); reported by Frank Schmidt <frank_schmidt@gmx.net>

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 15:21:55 +0200

	* src/tables.c: changed indexes to be integer arrays instead
	  of GList*, this should speed up things like record searchs
	  (I hope) and the (x)list views (I'll have to rewrite them to
	  use this new feature)

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 01:26:40 +0200

	* configure.in: Added pl to ALL_LINGUAS

Sun, 12 Sep 1999 15:22:38 +0200

	* src/gtk_menu.c: added a 'homebrewed scripts' menuitem that
	  pops-up a file selection box where the user can select a script
	  to be executed; this works nicely with the 'script output in
	  a dialog' new feature.

Sun, 12 Sep 1999 15:13:58 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: fixed get_current_window()
	  (it didn't iterate over the windows list - aie aie)

Fri, 10 Sep 1999 10:50:43 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: fixed the display of
	  the output message (it was broken when there were no output)

Wed,  8 Sep 1999 10:37:36 +0200

	* Released 1.9.10

Tue,  7 Sep 1999 22:49:51 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python_doc.py: added a
	  (python-)script to 'auto'-generate the documentation related
	  to the Python module.

Sun,  5 Sep 1999 23:19:59 +0200

	* plug-in/interpreter/python/python.c: played with Python so
	  that what is normally outputted on stdout (ie the terminal
	  you used to launch gaby) is now shown in a message box. Nice.

Sat,  4 Sep 1999 17:59:14 +0200

	* src/gabyscript.c, plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added
	  support for command line parameters to gabyscript, this means
	  that something like : mutt `~/bin/get_mail_address_of.py
	  'Frederic Peters'` is now possible

Sat,  4 Sep 1999 16:27:44 +0200

	* doc/C/developer.sgml: updated the section about view plug-ins
	  to the new API

Thu,  2 Sep 1999 21:21:05 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c, src/gtk_manage_dlg.c: use new informations from
	  .../infos so that only the available and effective plug-ins
	  are shown in the GtkOptionMenu of the import/export dialogs

Thu,  2 Sep 1999 19:48:23 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c, plug-ins/formats/*/info: changed the format of
	  the 'info' file to provide more informations, they're not yet
	  used but this will allow better file import/export dialogs

Mon, 30 Aug 1999 20:10:17 +0200

	* src/*.c: isolated the gtk-dependant functions in gtk_*.c,
	  one more step into cleaning my code ...

Sun, 29 Aug 1999 15:43:25 +0200

	* src/tables.c: fixed (once again) the 'sort' option as used
	  in table_next and others (themself used to provide the sort
	  option in the form plug-in)

Fri, 27 Aug 1999 19:06:54 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/gaby/gaby.c: finally fixed Jari Eskelinen's
	  bug, I'm not proud of that one ...

Fri, 27 Aug 1999 01:10:26 +0200

	* src/tables.c: benchmarked gaby using the new desc.appindex
	  against appindex, the test was loading then exiting (using the
	  'test' program for gaby (no gui)).  The results were ~7 seconds
	  for gaby and ~4.5 for appindex. Then I decided to use gprof
	  and within less than 5 minutes it gave me enough informations
	  to achieve the test in ~4 seconds !!! (yet another 50% speedup)

Thu, 26 Aug 1999 20:19:33 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/appindex/*: new format plug-in to load
	  FreshMeat appindex file as used by the app with that name
	  (appindex)

Tue, 24 Aug 1999 21:43:17 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/gaby/gaby.c: decided to speed up things
	  and after thinking a bit I found a way to achieve this. I
	  implemented it and got no significant results but I found _the_
	  place to optimize and ... loading a file is now twice as fast
	  as before (and that's not the result of the first idea)

Sun, 22 Aug 1999 15:15:23 +0200

	* src/plug-ins/$rest/$rest.c: moved to the new API (I also
	  applied a patch from Berend De Schouwer <bds@ucs.co.za> to
	  gnomecard. And now the proof that the new API is better: there
	  are 42% less gtk_object_.et_data than before (217 against 376)

Sat, 21 Aug 1999 20:38:35 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/$some/$some.c: converted canvas, filter, hello
	  and miniform to the new API - marked addresscanvas as obsolete.

Sat, 21 Aug 1999 19:22:25 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/list/list.c: moved to the new API - this means
	  that I am now back to an usable gcd (and that most (more than
	  50%) of the job is done)

Sat, 21 Aug 1999 16:40:03 +0200

	* lots of files: changed the API of view plug-ins (with good
	  reasons) and rewrote the broken things to work with it (only
	  form and xlist are working right now and they are not at their
	  best use of the api)

Tue, 17 Aug 1999 19:02:02 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/dbase/*: new plug-in to read (NOT write)
	  dBase III (possibly IV) files; it works great :)

Tue, 17 Aug 1999 19:01:03 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/*/*.c: new records are created with g_new0()
	  instead of g_malloc() - this caused strange segfaults on
	  huge files (I hope this fixes the problem Jari Eskelinen
	  <jari.eskelinen@mbnet.fi> has)

Mon, 16 Aug 1999 19:46:25 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: I tested 1.9.8 but I use to have
	  LANGUAGE set; this means that I didn't see what Brennan
	  Cropper <bcropper@nortelnetworks.com> and Regis Julie
	  <Regis.Julie@cetelem.fr> saw : a nice core dump :) oh well.

Sun, 15 Aug 1999 19:30:41 +0200

	* Released 1.9.8

Sat, 14 Aug 1999 13:40:12 +0200

	* data/desc.*, doc/de.po: German translations by Frank Schmidt
	  <frank_schmidt@gmx.net>, aside that I reworked the doc/
	  directory to help writing complete docs

Tue, 10 Aug 1999 18:32:36 +0200

	* src/tables.c: fixed a bug (what else ?) that caused the
	  rewritten sort function to sort nothing else than the first
	  field

Sat,  7 Aug 1999 13:24:43 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: added support of "LANG" if "LANGUAGE" is not set,
	  this sounds like duplication but ... not my fault :)

Sat,  7 Aug 1999 13:10:40 +0200

	* src/struct.h, src/menu.c, plug-ins/view/form/form.c: you can
	  now edit a single field then leave and Gaby will know you have
	  edited the field (and Jari will have a Gaby behaving logically
	  :) )

Sat,  7 Aug 1999 12:36:48 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/gaby/gaby.c: increased the max length of a
	  record to 10000 characters, this is still arbitrary but will
	  cause less problems than 2000 :) (request by Jari (see below))

Sat,  7 Aug 1999 12:33:57 +0200

	* src/menu.c: fixed a bug that caused Gaby to segfault if the user
	  closed the main window using the wm and then choosed to save
	  changes (report by Jari Eskelinen <jari.eskelinen@mbnet.fi>)

Fri,  6 Aug 1999 18:43:27 +0200

	* plug-ins/print/*/*.c, src/f_desc.c, src/w_print.c: hypnotized
	  by a Mexican hacker the print plugins walked into the same
	  precipice as other plug-ins :)

Thu,  5 Aug 1999 18:48:48 +0200

	* src/menu.c: fixed a bug that prevented use of a descfile
	  without actions

Tue,  3 Aug 1999 23:05:22 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c, src/actions.c: Python turn
	  to follow Miguel (blindly) to the dark country of static linking

Tue,  3 Aug 1999 21:35:23 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/*/*.c, src/menu.c, src/main.c: actions plug-ins
	  can now benefit from the Miguel treatment of plug-ins (I don't
	  believe 'benefit' is a really appropriate word)

Mon,  2 Aug 1999 19:16:31 +0200

	* misc files: format plug-ins are now included in gaby if you
	  like Miguel way of life :)

Mon,  2 Aug 1999 12:36:40 +0200

	* src/tables.c: added the possibility for {load,save}_file
	  functions in plug-ins to be named <plugin
	  name>_{load,save}_file.

Sun,  1 Aug 1999 23:34:14 +0200

	* some files: made the first step to the improvement written
	  below. Every view plug-ins are now included in a bigger gaby
	  executable (I don't want comments about the way I did this;
	  I'm not really proud)

Sun,  1 Aug 1999 16:08:12 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/*/*.c: uniformized the function names (I'm going
	  to improve --enable-miguel-wishes)

Sat, 31 Jul 1999 05:09:18 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added two new attributes
	  to the Window object: can_restrict_list (read-only) and
	  restricted_list (write-only) to create Python filters

Thu, 29 Jul 1999 11:47:37 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: added a new way to reduce desc.gnomecard: it is
	  now possible to import one table structure from another descfile

Thu, 29 Jul 1999 01:06:44 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: added a way to reduce desc.gnomecard: it is now
	  possible to import the plugins_options section from another
	  descfile.

Wed, 28 Jul 1999 19:58:38 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/net/net.c: nearly finished the 'phone'
	  action. It creates a valid number then asks if it is really
	  valid. If it is the phone command is executed.

Tue, 27 Jul 1999 00:41:04 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added
	  <subtable>.dict_fields and <subtable>.dict_i18n_fields that are
	  dictionaries holding fields' numbers referenced by fields' names

Mon, 26 Jul 1999 23:35:26 +0200

	* src/menu.c: rewrote tip_of_the_day() so that it no longer
	  requires Python (it consumed memory uselessly in 'normal'
	  sessions with 'normal' users)

Mon, 26 Jul 1999 21:03:24 +0200

	* doc/Makefile.am, doc/topic.dat: added support for Gnome help
	  system (but it currently only works with 'C' locale)

Sun, 25 Jul 1999 14:28:35 +0200

	* src/records.c: new function get_value_for_that_string() to
	  convert any string to a gaby type

Sun, 25 Jul 1999 13:48:19 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: modified
	  py_st_set_record_no() so that if the record's id is 0 it
	  considers that it is a new record and add it to the table.

Sat, 24 Jul 1999 17:11:12 +0200

	* src/gabyscript.c: new program (gabyscript) to run scripts-fus
	  from the command line, I wrote a few words on it in
	  plug-ins/interpreter/python/README

Sat, 24 Jul 1999 16:19:46 +0200

	* src/menu.c, src/actions.c: moved actions-related functions
	  from menu.c to actions.c

Thu, 22 Jul 1999 20:36:51 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: added an (optional)
	  boolean parameter to <subtable>.get_record_no(i [, b]) that
	  allows to get appropriate python types instead of plain strings
	  for some types (int, real, boolean). Also changed set_record_no
	  to understand them.

Thu, 22 Jul 1999 20:08:25 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/gaby/gaby.c: speeded up loading of 'simple'
	  files (files without '\') (actually it should be faster but
	  I hadn't benchmarked it)

Wed, 14 Jul 1999 11:43:18 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: reworked everything so
	  that it actually looks like something 'real' : objects have
	  attributes, methods, ... This allows to write things like:
	  'record = win.subtable.get_record_no(win.id)'
	  

Tue, 13 Jul 1999 21:50:41 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: removed
	  get_subtable_fields_name() since I implemented attributes to
	  the GabySubTable object (documented in the README file of the
	  same directory)

Mon, 12 Jul 1999 22:31:45 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/scripts/set_default_country.py: new file to
	  show that a Python interpreter _is_ useful :)

Mon, 12 Jul 1999 21:11:15 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: changed every function
	  that deals with subtable to use the new SubTable type instead
	  of a simple string

Sun, 11 Jul 1999 22:50:30 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/python.c: changed py_get_record_no()
	  so that it returns a list instead of a tuple.

Sun, 11 Jul 1999 16:08:48 +0200

	* src/menu.c: added launch_autoexec_script() that will execute
	  ~/.gaby/scripts/autoexec.<appname> (or $(prefix)/..., read the
	  source) on startup. I successfully replaced the current misc
	  section from desc.gaby with the first 2 lines and a 6 lines
	  script (included in data/autoexec.gaby).

Sun, 11 Jul 1999 16:00:40 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/{python.c,gaby.py}: no new functions
	  today but I rewrote lots of thing in the 'right way' (well... I
	  hope it is) (eh! it's my first python module) (but I'll have to
	  reimplement an object oriented wrapper in gaby.py)

Sun, 11 Jul 1999 00:22:57 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/{python.c,gaby.py}: added
	  move_window() and resize_window() as well as an example in
	  hello.py (available from desc.gtest)

Sat, 10 Jul 1999 15:55:06 +0200

	* plug-ins/interpreter/python/{python.c,gaby.py}: added two
	  new functions : add_bound_window() and remove_bound_window()
	  (into the Window class)

Fri,  9 Jul 1999 12:36:14 +0200

	* po/no.po: I ran cvs last night and discovered about no.po,
	  I still have problems with my mails so I'll thank Kjartan
	  Maraas <kmaraas@online.no> here : thanks.

Thu,  8 Jul 1999 21:39:59 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/nosql/nosql.c: thanks to
	  set_table_stringed_field() I wrote the loading part
	  of this plug-in. (loading is now as simple as n * (
	  nb_fields*set_table_stringed_field +record_add) )

Thu,  8 Jul 1999 21:37:16 +0200

	* src/records.c: added set_table_stringed_field() that should
	  help a lot format plug-ins (set_subtable_stringed_field()
	  has been modified to use it)

Thu,  8 Jul 1999 13:19:33 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/cd/cd.c: cddb_import now (correctly) handles
	  tracks' duration.  While playing with that I discovered that
	  this is a Bad Idea (tm) to have 2 cd with the same title
	  ('cause the form view uses the name to get the record's id
	  and will only get the first record with that id)

Wed, 7 Jul 1999 - Tomas Ogren  <stric@ing.umu.se>

	* configure.in: Added sv to ALL_LINGUAS

Wed, 7 Jul 1999 - Tomas Ogren  <stric@ing.umu.se>

	* src/menu.c: Fixed an i18n issue (don't do '_("")' .. breaks stuff)

Tue,  6 Jul 1999 16:06:54 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: improved T_RECORDS support: embedded views may
	  now be any kind of view (but it has to support the 'what' data
	  (currently list and xlist)).

Tue,  6 Jul 1999 14:35:17 +0200

	* src/tables.c: improved the indexes creation (used for
	  table_{next,...}).  Testing with gaby-apt (3222 records) I got
	  4 seconds with the previous function and 0 seconds (time(2)
	  only counts seconds :) ) with the new one. (note that sorting
	  date doesn't seem working right now)

Tue,  6 Jul 1999 01:55:15 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added an 'are you sure?' dialog
	  when the user choose to remove a record. The next thing to do
	  is a way to disable it :)

Tue,  6 Jul 1999 01:20:05 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added a config option to know if
	  the user want the field description shown in the status bar
	  (default is yes)

Tue,  6 Jul 1999 01:11:05 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/canvas.c: if dnd worked you'd have
	  an updated configure box after dropping a color but since
	  it is still broken you won't be able to experience that :)
	  There's also a fix so that it works with colors with values
	  less than 0x10.

Mon,  5 Jul 1999 17:46:21 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/xlist/xlist.c: improved sorting so that it works
	  with numbers and dates (instead of simple string sorting).

Sat,  3 Jul 1999 15:08:54 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: the scrollbar is now automagically
	  moved if the focus goes on a widget out of the scrolledwindow
	  viewport. This is really cool to have :)

Fri,  2 Jul 1999 12:00:58 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added real support for spin buttons
	  (tested with desc.gbc) (both T_INTEGER and T_REAL are supported)

Fri,  2 Jul 1999 01:30:26 +0200

	* src/struct.h: in union data I replaced 'double d' with 'float d'
	  so the sizeof(union data) is divided by 2 (it is now 4 bytes)
	  (I no longer have g_mem_profile() but this can't be bad)
	  (I know about you, 64-bits people, but if you want to ship
	  me an alpha so I can play with that I'll be happy to join you
	  against 386-isms :) )

Thu,  1 Jul 1999 20:16:28 +0200

	* src/records.c: added records_are_different() as yet another
	  helper function for plug-ins (it is already called from
	  plug-ins/view/form/form.c)

Thu,  1 Jul 1999 19:33:00 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: reworked form_record_save() in a
	  (much) cleaner way.  It now has a form_get_record() function
	  that will be used in several other functions too. While moving
	  I also added support for spin_for_numeric to form_get_record()
	  (form_record_save() didn't support this)

Thu,  1 Jul 1999 11:46:14 +0200

	* src/tables.c: added record_free() that does what its name says.

Wed, 30 Jun 1999 20:55:02 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/xlist/xlist.c: a right-button click will now
	  popup a menu with available actions for the current table.

Tue, 29 Jun 1999 00:14:15 +0200

	* src/main.c, src/gaby.h: the code becomes less and less elegant
	  - I added 4 _global_ variables that holds the lists of tables,
	  subtables, views and actions. You should try to avoid them in
	  plug-ins (use the args) (if you can't do without them please
	  mail me)

Sun, 27 Jun 1999 23:15:27 +0200

	* src/v_main.c: added the possibility to avoid {menu,status}bar
	  in the main window. This might be useful with view plug-ins that
	  won't have {menu,status}bar but won't want the default ones.

Sun, 27 Jun 1999 20:47:42 +0200

	* plug-ins/print/html/html.c, plug-ins/print/latex/latex.c:
	  when fast printing if the filename doesn't end with .html
	  (or .tex) the extension is added automatically.

Sun, 27 Jun 1999 20:45:31 +0200

	* src/menu.c, src/w_print.c: implemented the 'print fast'
	  option. With this option enabled Gaby won't ask you anything
	  when printing and will create <app name>_output.<ext> as fast
	  as possible.

Sat, 26 Jun 1999 14:34:28 +0200

	* src/main.c: added a new way to use desc files (after symlinks
	  and --as). It is now possible to use desc.gcd (or anything else)
	  with a symlink named gaby-gcd or gcd-gaby.

Thu, 24 Jun 1999 21:51:59 +0200

	* src/struct.h (!!!), plug-ins/view/form/form.c, src/menu.c:
	  added a view_save() function to view plug-ins. It is used when
	  Gaby needs to be on a saved record (with id!=0). Default to
	  NULL and handled correctly.

Thu, 24 Jun 1999 11:32:24 +0200

	* src/main.c: ~/.gaby was never created (this bug was introduced
	  in 1.9.7)

Thu, 24 Jun 1999 11:23:26 +0200

	* src/main.c, src/menu.c: added a 'Welcome to Gaby !' box that
	  is shown the first time Gaby is launched. It should be extended
	  to provide a little introduction to Gaby and its basic concepts
	  (subtables, views, ...)

Wed, 23 Jun 1999 23:41:25 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added support for check button for
	  boolean fields.  Untested.

Wed, 23 Jun 1999 22:27:02 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c (st_load_struct): added a default behaviour if
	  no subtable section can be found in a desc file.

Tue, 22 Jun 1999 17:44:13 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c, src/menu.c, src/v_main.c: added a 'size' attribute
	  to the windows defined in 'begin misc'.

Tue, 22 Jun 1999 00:06:08 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: fixed a bug that prevented changes
	  being done after a date field to be recorded.

Sun, 20 Jun 1999 23:55:54 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/filter/filter.c: added the choice between 'and'
	  and 'or' to link conditions

Sat, 19 Jun 1999 19:56:58 +0200

	* src/f_config.c: added get_config_int() and write_config_int()
	  (see documentation to know what they do)

Sat, 19 Jun 1999 19:46:46 +0200

	* gaby.spec: new file to please RPMs users (contributed by Dag
	  Wieers <dag@life.be>)

Thu, 17 Jun 1999 17:49:52 +0200

	* src/configure.c: fixed random bugs that happened with actions
	  and print plug-ins if the configuration box was previously
	  opened then closed.

Thu, 17 Jun 1999 13:47:22 +0200

	* src/configure.c: voila, no more 'Error reading from a file
	  (/var/state/gaby/table.AddressBook)' if you don't want this
	  file. The configuration box is called 'file properties'
	  (it will also allow to change file permissions later).

Wed, 16 Jun 1999 22:58:12 +0200

	* acconfig.h, configure.in, src/main.c: added handling of Irix
	  (it has getopt.h, getopt() but not get getopt_long()) (problem
	  reported by Larry Hunter <lhunter@nih.gov>)

Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:09:22 +0200

	* src/menu.c, src/configure.c, src/f_desc.c, src/tables.c: added a
	  new 'common' configure box to let users disable files (locations)
	  they don't want. (the configure box isn't finished)

Tue, 15 Jun 1999 22:09:49 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/addressbook/: added support for the birthday
	  field

Tue, 15 Jun 1999 19:35:16 +0200

	* plug-ins/format/vcard/vcard.c: added support for urls and
	  fixed handling of the city field (thanks to Frank Schmidt
	  <frank_schmidt@gmx.net>)

Tue, 15 Jun 1999 17:37:41 +0200

	* src/records.c: added support for T_DATE to cnd_is(),
	  cnd_is_not(), cnd_is_greater() and cnd_is_less()

Mon, 14 Jun 1999 22:27:44 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c (st_fields_only_these): fixed my (undocumented)
	  one-line fix whose goal was to 'optimize' translations (it
	  caused a segfault with desc.genealogy)

Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:36:37 +0200

	* src/records.c: added support for T_STRINGS to cnd_has()
	  and cnd_start_with()

Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:36:06 +0200

	* src/struct.h (union data), src/records.c
	  (set_subtable_stringed_field, get_table_stringed_field, cnd_is),
	  plug-ins/format/gaby/gaby.c (record_add_str, record_get_str),
	  plug-ins/view/form/form.c (line_add, form_record_save,
	  form_fill_real): added real support for T_BOOLEAN. (the huge
	  number of file means that you will discover bugs)

Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:17:05 +0200

	* src/records.c: added proper support for the date field into
	  set_subtable_stringed_field()

Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:34:15 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: added a 'changed' attribute to the
	  date field when shown as a GtkCalendar to prevent writing the
	  default date (1/1/1999) when saving file).

Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:22:44 +0200

	* data/desc.gcd: s/with all fields/with every fields/g. I don't
	  remember I changed this (I should keep a better ChangeLog).

Sat, 12 Jun 1999 23:35:32 +0200

	* Released 1.9.7

Sat, 12 Jun 1999 13:41:32 +0200

	* src/main.c: gaby won't even try to run if plug-ins are not
	  installed.

Fri, 11 Jun 1999 23:10:35 +0200

	* Nothing! : dragging a color on the canvas freezes gaby :( ->
	  Don't try it at home (it freezes within gtk (not really my
	  fault ?))

Fri, 11 Jun 1999 00:08:46 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/net/net.c, src/gaby.h: changed a few words to
	  make Gaby compile on Irix (problems reported by Larry Hunter
	  <lhunter@nih.gov>)

Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:48:50 +0200

	* src/menu.c: fixed a bug that caused segfault if you destroyed
	  a bound window and then did an action that would have resulted
	  in a change in this bound window. Not clear ? Doesn't matter,
	  it's fixed.

Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:21:59 +0200

	* src/tables.c: (record_remove_id) i!=j, I was certainly asleep
	  when I wrote this function. No more segfaults when removing
	  a record.

Wed,  9 Jun 1999 19:14:32 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/form/form.c: freed the memory after
	  gtk_editable_get_chars()

Tue,  8 Jun 1999 15:39:37 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/: completed this plug-in, color changes
	  can now be written on disk.

Mon,  7 Jun 1999 20:20:58 +0200

	* builder/: New version (0.8) of the builder, read builder/TODO

Mon,  7 Jun 1999 00:23:05 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/: the configure box is almost finished
	  (it doesn't write on disk the changes). And for mouse lovers
	  it is also possible to drop a color from a color selection
	  window on any part of the canvas and voila it's changed.

Sun,  6 Jun 1999 15:03:29 +0200

	* src/menu.c: fixed the bug I thought I had fixed 29 May,
	  17:40. I hope.

Sun,  6 Jun 1999 00:14:32 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/canvas/: I'm still in exam (oops... I
	  almost forgot it) so I did this view quickly. So quickly
	  that I impressed myself :) It features everything from
	  the addresscanvas view, works with any desc file (where
	  an appropriate section is present, looks into desc.gaby
	  for an example) and is only 695 lines (addresscanvas is
	  773lines-long). Did I say 'impressive' ?

Sat,  5 Jun 1999 19:39:12 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c: added get_plugin_options(char *) to retrieve
	  plugin-specific lines from a desc file. This will be used
	  in the canvas view. (I had to create a new global variable
	  'appname' to hold the app name (gaby, gcd, videobase, ...)).

Thu,  3 Jun 1999 19:29:11 +0200

	* Added Finnish translation for most of the desc files

Wed,  2 Jun 1999 15:43:59 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/{list.c,filter.c}: added support for filters to
	  the list view

Mon, 31 May 1999 16:22:41 +0200

	* some files: added the possibility to work _without_ plug-in
	  for people experiencing problems with them. It is now possible
	  to have form and list views and gaby file format embedded in
	  the program (it will still try to use dynamic linking for
	  other plug-ins). There is a drawback : no more configure
	  boxes for the form view (list view and gaby format didn't
	  have configure options so it is not a problem for them). This
	  option is enabled using ./configure --enable-miguel-wishes
	  (the name will change :) )

Sun, 30 May 1999 15:57:08 +0200

	* po/fi.po: Finnish translation from Matti Koskimies
	  <mikkoski@manna.yok.utu.fi>

Sun, 30 May 1999 14:23:56 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/filter/: added support for 2 conditions (with a
	  'and' between), the code is there for more lines if you feel
	  2 is not enough but it is not yet customizable by the user.

Sat, 29 May 1999 17:40:34 +0200

	* src/menu.c: s/windows_already_there/window_already_there/g. I
	  also believe it was this function that caused random segfaults
	  when adding a new view (reported by dh29@soas.ac.uk). If I am
	  right they are fixed now.

Sat, 29 May 1999 16:58:15 +0200

	* everywhere: Replaced every occurence of {malloc,strdup,free,...}
	  with their glib brothers (g_*). This has advantages like the
	  ability to use g_mem_profile.

Fri, 28 May 1999 21:57:08 +0200

	* Released 1.9.6

Fri, 28 May 1999 19:31:21 +0200

	* builder/: New version (0.7) of the builder (featuring limited
	  support for the bind option, gnome support and more)

Fri, 28 May 1999 15:41:36 +0200

	* src/configure.c: added a 'show tips on startup' checkbox

Thu, 27 May 1999 13:44:19 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/filter/: it works but currently only the xlist
	  view is able to use those filters. Therefore the affected window
	  is the first xlist window and there are no ways to change that
	  (this will change). Don't expect too much improvements in it in
	  the next few weeks since I'm going to face exams, play with it,
	  send suggestions, bugs and I'll look into that (you should also
	  play with the builder and send comments to Ron (read AUTHORS)).

Thu, 27 May 1999 00:39:01 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/filter/: began something to define filters. It
	  is implemented as a view plug-in since it was the quickest
	  way to do it (and not the worst).

Wed, 26 May 1999 15:08:58 +0200

	* README.translations: added a short 'translating gaby' section
	  that talks about gettext and the other places where translations
	  are needed (desc files, ...)

Mon, 24 May 1999 18:37:19 +0200

	* src/menu.c: added import/export to the plain-gtk version

Mon, 24 May 1999 14:10:34 +0200

	* src/f_desc.c, src/w_binding.c: added support for bound windows
	  defined in desc files (mainly thanks to Ron)

Sat, 22 May 1999 21:09:05 +0200

	* src/records.c: added cnd_regex (C_REGEX) to use regular
	  expressions as filters.

Sat, 22 May 1999 21:07:33 +0200

	* data/desc.gaby.in: replaced desc.gaby by this file that
	  will generate desc.gaby on ./configure time. This means that
	  desc.gaby won't be filled with Gnome related options for people
	  compiling without Gnome.

Sat, 22 May 1999 00:34:29 +0200

	* src/Makefile.am and doc/Makefile.am: small bug fixes to remove
	  bashism and asumption that perl is /usr/bin/perl (report by
	  steven.purchase@racalradio.com)

Fri, 21 May 1999 23:08:27 +0200

	* Released 1.9.5

Fri, 21 May 1999 21:56:14 +0200

	* every Makefile.am: improved the installation process to
	  help packages creators (camalot@picnicpark.org (rpm),
	  jmlb2@hermes.cam.ac.uk (deb) and outlyer@stampede.org
	  (slp)). Installation should be straight-forward now even when
	  not installing where it was not configured to go (but it needs
	  to be there once the package is installed)

Fri, 21 May 1999 18:55:05 +0200

	* src/tables.c: added table_{next,prev,first,last}_with_conditions
	  to perform those common actions but only in records fulfilling
	  given conditions.

Thu, 20 May 1999 21:06:08 +0200

	* src/records.c: added support for 'or' and 'and' conditions and
	  rewrote a few conditions related functions (this code is still
	  useless since there are no gui to use it but it will arrive)

Thu, 20 May 1999 01:02:56 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/addressbook/: fixed the _stupid_ bug in
	  load_file that prevented this plug-in to work in this way
	  (thanks Ron - I should sleep a few days :) )

Wed, 19 May 1999 22:04:40 +0200

	* builder/*: New version (0.6) of the builder, read
	  builder/ChangeLog for changes.

Wed, 19 May 1999 21:56:46 +0200

	* po/es.po: Spanish translation from Carlos M. Fernandez
	  <c_fern@yahoo.com>.

Wed, 19 May 1999 14:54:53 +0200

	* src/menu.c: Fixed a problem with GTK+ 1.2.3 (I think) that uses
	  an other way to store menu items labels (re-I think). Anyway
	  it was broken and it is now fixed.

Tue, 18 May 1999 22:46:04 +0200

	* Released 1.9.4

Tue, 18 May 1999 19:53:50 +0200

	* configure.in: added a --disable-python option that does what
	  you think it does

Mon, 17 May 1999 20:06:27 +0200

	* src/records.c: records were not freed once removed, this is
	  fixed now (I wonder how long this bug lasted)

Sun, 16 May 1999 22:53:46 +0200

	* plug-ins/formats/addressbook/: fixed writing but reading still
	  acts as if it was broken :(

Sun, 16 May 1999 15:26:29 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/gnomecard/: added a view plug-in to emulate
	  the look and feel of GnomeCard (there is also desc.gnomecard
	  in data/)

Sat, 15 May 1999 00:05:35 +0200

	* Released 1.9.3

Fri, 14 May 1999 23:56:30 +0200

	* every Makefile.am: ensure that files are installed in
	  $(DESTDIR)$(prefix) and not in $(prefix) (many thanks to
	  camalot@picnicpark.org who made me figure that)

Fri, 14 May 1999 21:16:49 +0200

	* src/v_main.c: Fixed update_windows(widget) since calling it
	  with NULL as widget caused segfaulting (this broke importing)

Fri, 14 May 1999 20:43:13 +0200

	* plug-ins/view/hello/hello.c: this _stupid_ sample view managed
	  to segfault on empty tables (fixed in the code and in the
	  documentation) (report by tg@skynet.be)

Fri, 14 May 1999 19:22:45 +0200

	  for 1.9.2)

Fri, 14 May 1999 19:21:22 +0200

	* builder/*: New version (0.5) of the builder (with revamped
	  desc loading routine, GUI support for the misc section, ...)

Fri, 14 May 1999 14:08:49 +0200

	* src/w_print.c: In print dialog 'ok' button is only sensitive
	  if a subtable is selected (suggested by tg@skynet.be).

Thu, 13 May 1999 20:08:56 +0200

	* src/f_config.c: Fixed a really stupid bug which prevented
	  long strings to be written in a configuration file (and caused
	  segfaults) (report by lunarbard@moonman.com)

Thu, 13 May 1999 17:39:33 +0200

Thu, 13 May 1999 13:44:25 +0200

	  (videobase is Ron's Movie database)

Tue, 11 May 1999 21:32:21 +0200

	* src/menu.c: import was exporting :( (noticed and 'one char fix'
	  by Ron)

Tue, 11 May 1999 21:30:58 +0200

	* builder/*: New version of Ron Bessem's builder (I should read
	  my mails before uploading new versions)

Tue, 11 May 1999 20:40:37 +0200

	* Released 1.9.1

Mon, 10 May 1999 22:56:46 +0200

	* po/nl.po: Added Dutch translation (by <tg@skynet.be> (yes he
	  can do something else than reporting bugs))

Mon, 10 May 1999 22:04:16 +0200

	* src/menu.c: gaby couldn't find print_plugin_get_list()
	  (which was removed after the print plug-in reorganization)
	  in the plain-gtk version (I should use it more often) (reports
	  by patdunn@dreamscape.com and kraai@andrew.cmu.edu)

Mon, 10 May 1999 21:55:33 +0200

	* doc/Makefile.am: don't abort if jade is not present (report
	  by tg@skynet.be)
	  
	  plug-ins/format/addressbook: check if there are enough ';'
	  on the line (report by tg@skynet.be (who wanted to import
	  INSTALL (crazy guy :) )))
	  
	  src/w_manage.c: tell the user he has to select a subtable
	  when importing/exporting if none are selected (it segfaulted)
	  (report by tg@skynet.be)
	  
	  src/records.c: gaby segfaulted (sometimes!) when removing a
	  record (report by tg@skynet.be)

Mon, 10 May 1999 21:11:32 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/gnomepim/: started corba handling as in
	  gnome-pim; a bit difficult since I don't have any documentation
	  and since it is not yet really implemented in gnome-pim (and
	  that I don't have anything to test it (Balsa?)); anyway this
	  is one more step to leave the island.

Mon, 10 May 1999 20:23:59 +0200

	* plug-ins/actions/script/: added tips.py which shows a tip on
	  startup (using Python), there are actually no way to remove
	  them (excepted removing the file).  Tips are located in
	  doc/gaby_tips.txt (and doc/gaby_tips_XX.txt for translations).

Mon, 10 May 1999 15:49:34 +0200

	* f_desc.c (load_actions): Added 'events' for actions, there is
	  actually EVENT_MENU and EVENT_STARTUP. Examples are provided
	  in desc.gtest, actions without events will have EVENT_MENU set.

Sat,  8 May 1999 15:59:56 +0200

	* Started ChangeLog for 1.9
