Sometimes I forget to add new things to this file when I release a new
version.  Ok, well, most of the time.  See the CHANGELOG.GTKeyboard
file for a complete list of what's new from the last version to the present.

- Distribution of RPMs isn't going to be happening for a while.  I've
changed systems from a hideously out of date Red Hat system to a brand
spankin' new Debian (Woody) system, and I'm not going to be creating
RPMs any more.  I would appreciate anybody who has the ability to
create RPMs if they would contribute some.  Once I'm up on exactly how
the guts of the packaging works in Debian, I'll probably start
distributing .deb packages, as time allows.

- Each button on the main body of the keyboard now responds to three
  different mouse button presses.  If you press the left mouse button
  while over a button, it functions just as you would expect it to.
  If you click the right mouse button, it will generate the
  "uppercase" key associated with the button.  And if you click the
  middle mouse button, it will generate the "mode switch" key
  associated with the button.  (On many keyboards this is the same as
  the lower case key - but it differs on non-US keyboards).  This
  applies ONLY to NON-TOGGLE buttons.

- Please read the manual for changes with focus policy.  Particularly,
  I'm expecting to get a lot of questions about implicit versus
  explicit redirecting.  Please read the manual section on that topic,
  as it should explain everything.  

- Some tips submitted by Danish <dadanish@usa.net> - it used to be
  that you couldn't get xemacs (http://www.xemacs.org) or xterm to
  receive the events that GTKeyboard sent it - now you can.
	  + For xemacs, add this line to your .emacs file:
	    (setq x-allow-sendevents t)
	    It is elisp to let xemacs know it is ok to allow XEvents
	    coming in.
	  + For xterm, ctrl+left-click will bring up a menu, and
            choose "Allow SendEvents"

- A buglist has been created for gtkeyboard.  Send all bug related mail to
  bug-gtkeyboard@gnu.org

- GTKeyboard has been approved by the FSF as GNU Software.  It should be 
  appearing on ftp.gnu.org or alpha.gnu.org shortly.
