NEWS for veteran Gaby users
---------------------------

--- 1.9.15 - December 23th 1999

Minor improvements to the UI, great improvement on the scripting side (it can
now behave like a 'normal' Python module) and bug fixes.

--- 1.9.14 - October 23th 1999

Fixed several gtk-only and 'call me stupid' bugs.

--- 1.9.13 - October 22th 1999

Improvements to the form, canvas and gnomecard views, to the Python
interpreter as well as numerous bug fixes.

--- 1.9.12 - September 30th 1999

Fixed _lots_ of bugs (by adding a test suite) and added a new Danish
translation.

--- 1.9.11 - September 20th 1999

Improved (and speeded up) the indexes mechanism, added an 'home-brewed script'
option as well as new Japanese and Polish translations and bug fixes.

--- 1.9.10 - September 8th 1999

Rewrote the view plug-ins API in a cleaner way, added support for dBase (III
and ~IV) files as well as FreshMeat Appindex files, improved (a lot) file
loading (more than 10 times faster) and usual bug fixes.

This release is not named 1.9.9 because this number looked too much like '2.0
next week' - good reason.

--- 1.9.8 - August 15th 1999

No major changes but _lots_ of improvements and bug fixes notably in the Python
interpreter that can now do useful things. There are also new German, Norwegian
and Swedish translations.

--- 1.9.7 - June 12th 1999

A new version (0.8) of the description file builder, more support for filters,
a new canvas view, the possibility to run a stripped down Gaby that doesn't use
plug-ins, a Finnish translation and lots of bug fixes.

--- 1.9.6 - May 28th 1999

A new version (0.7) of the description file builder, filters (is, is not,
matches, is greater, ...) for the extended list view, bound windows can now be
defined in descfiles, import/export even in the plain-gtk version, improved
installation and a lot of bug fixes.

--- 1.9.5 - May 21th 1999

A new version (0.6) of the description file builder, a Spanish translation and
the usual bug fixes. The configuration files are now stored in
$(prefix)/etc/gaby (no more in /etc/gaby) if you want to keep the old location
add --sysconfdir=/etc to ./configure

--- 1.9.4 - May 18th 1999

Mostly bug fixes.

--- 1.9.3 - May 14th 1999

A new version (0.5) of the description file builder, a few improvements in the
GUI dialog boxes and lots of bug fixes.

--- 1.9.2 - May 13th 1999

A new version (0.4) of the description file builder, a new format plug-in to
read/write/import/export the videobase format and various bug fixes.

--- 1.9.1 - May 11th 1999

A 'tip of the day' dialog written in Python (and it is not yet possible to
avoid it) and bug fixes (the plain-gtk version _will_ compile now).

--- 1.9.0 - May 8th 1999

Everything is new.

Everything was rewritten and Gaby is now a real personal databases manager
unlike 1.0 that was more an hacked addressbook than something else. But you
don't have to worry about simplicity since it is at least the same than
before and might even be improved.

1.9.0 (codenamed 'The Ideal Crash') is designed around plug-ins to keep a
light program while being able to fill almost every needs you could have for
keeping your data. This also allows you, developer, to easily contribute (don't
hesitate).
