Each release reports the NEWS in the following sections:

* Changes to the distribution
* Changes to the C interface
* Changes to the Scheme interface


Changes since 0.1.1 development release:

* Changes to the distribution

** libRUIN no longer includes guile-lib modules

configure now checks for the presence of the required modules; libRUIN still
includes the SDOM and SCSS Scheme modules, since it is currently unlikely that
users will have these installed.

* Changes to the C interface

* Changes to the Scheme interface

** New Scheme functions ruin:get-style and ruin:set-style!

These functions can be used, respectively, to set explicit style properties on
elements in the document tree. Both functions manipulate the style values that
are actually used during rendering -- i.e., the style information with the
highest precedence. 

ruin:set-style! does not change the element itself; properties set using this
function are stored in internal libRUIN data structures.


Changes since recent CVS:

* Changes to the distribution

** libRUIN includes source selections from guile-lib 

libRUIN incudes the 'assert' and 'time' modules from the 'debugging' tree, and
the 'documentation' and 'session' modules from the 'scheme' tree. This is
mostly to support the source distribution of SXML that is included.

* Changes to the C interface

** ruin_get_width and ruin_get_height have been removed

libruin.h no longer exposes ruin_get_width or ruin_get_height, and both
functions have been removed from the source. There's really no reason either
should have been made available to the user; they're not even really useful
for debugging purposes.

* Changes to the Scheme interface
