RELEASE HISTORY:
================

Correct display even if paused on startup.
Improved interface on 'other' window managers.

Release 0.8 07/05/98 Now GPL.
Added "-v volume" command line argument.
Added "-b back_color" command line argument,
("-b darkslategrey -l cyan" gives a nice backlit look).
Reduced cpu load.
Relative or absolute time display,
(click time display to switch).
More changes to artwork:
Led pixmaps now part of artwork,
Symbolic color names can now be used in all pixmaps:
led_color_high,
led_color_med,
led_color_low,
color_back.
All pixmaps now use standard names:
cdplayer.xpm = cdplayer_xpm,
symbols.xpm = symbols_xpm,
led.xpm = led_xpm,
ledsym.xpm = ledsym_xpm,
ledtsel.xpm = ledtsel_xpm.
Entries specifying symbol dimensions no longer needed,
"symbols.xpm" now includes a symbol for NOTHING,
New piece of artwork, "newstyle.art",
New directory structure and scripts.
Track selection should be more reliable now.
Release 1.0 05/09/98 Added some error checking.
Beta1 "-a artwork_file" is now "-f artwork_file", sorry ;-).
Added "-a" command line argument for AfterStep users.
Added "-position position" command line argument.
Command line arguments, "-a", "-w" and "-s" are now toggle,
so if you enable one at compile-time, you can override
it at run-time.
Track selection actually works now??
(anyone notice a recurring theme here??)
Seperate update interval for when drive is empty.
(thanks to .....)
Fixed problem with (some?) SCSI devices refusing to
give LBA values. Thanks to the linux ide-scsi-emulator.
Now looks in some known directories for artwork files as
a last resort.
Improved artwork loading (it was very brain-dead).
Formatting changes in artwork files (ARTWORK documentation
is now up-to-date).
