+ChangeLog for Blackbox 0.50.x
+Enjoy! :)
+
+Changes from 0.50.4. to 0.50.5:
+  - modified and merged some patches from several contributors.  added their
+    names to AUTHORS
+  - major documentation updates
+  - added a few more platform success reports.  changed development platform
+    again :)
+  - added new texture option: Interlaced... it is an extension to the gradient
+    texture that looks really neat... it is compiled in by default but may
+    be removed with --disable-interlace
+  - let's see... where do i begin... the code for 0.51.x has been GREATLY
+    enhanced over 0.50.4 (and the stupid little compile error for KDE has been
+    fixed ;))  Blackbox has undergone major renovation... and i can proudly
+    say that this release is rock solid.  Also, i reinstated ccmalloc's tour
+    of duty, and spent several days with it stomping memory leaks in blackbox.
+    i can proudly say that there are no major memory leaks present in 0.51.x
+  - the toolbar has changed it appearance a little bit... the menu button has
+    been removed and the labels and buttons are now symmetrically placed on the
+    toolbar...  oh no!? how do you get to your icons/workspaces now?  the
+    middle click patch from Greg Barlow has been modified, enhanced and merged
+    with 0.51.x... the workspace menu now behaves just like the root menu...
+    and it can be pinned to the root window (just move it)
+  - the image code has once again been worked over... this time a local LUG
+    friend and i have hashed it out many times and into the wee hours of the
+    morning... this stuff is FAST now... before i added interlacing... we
+    had doubled the speed of the dgradient function... yes... *doubled*
+  - the code to generate error tables, color tables and other tables that are
+    used in image dithering has been rewritten, which severs the last tie to
+    window maker's wrlib that blackbox had.  i now understand why and how all
+    the code that i "borrowed" works... and it's been improved... because of
+    this change... dithering is a lot cleaner... and dithering on 8bpp displays
+    is less grainy and less obtrusive...
+  - the linked list code has also been rewritten... blackbox has been using
+    a doubly linked list, and not taking advantage of all the list's
+    capabilities (because it doesnt need them)... so the linked lists are now
+    single-link and much quicker at inserting, removing, searching...
+  - once again... the menu parsing code has been rewritten... this code is
+    very efficient and very extensible... so extensible infact that after
+    implementing the current menu syntax... i added a new tag! you can now
+    insert the workspaces list into your root menu with this:
+
+	[workspaces] (descriptive label)
+
+  - the slit menu is now spacially correct... if you want the slit in the top
+    right corner of the root menu... click the top right corner of the slit
+    menu... i think this is a little more user friendly
+  - window gravity should be better supported now... restarts and what not
+    shouldn't produce all those one pixel shifts or moves anymore...
+  - the modifiers for the keygrabs in blackbox are now configurable...
+    the "keys" are still hard wired (left/right for workspace changing, tab
+    for window cycling)... but you may now configure which modifiers to use
+    with the key combos...  this introduces two new resources into your
+    .blackboxrc:
+
+	session.workspaceChangeModifier
+
+    and
+
+	session.windowCycleModifier
+
+    these resources may be set to any combination of the following:
+
+	Control Mod1 Mod2 Mod3 Mod4 Mod5 Lock Shift
+
+    also... for convenience... "Alt" is parsed as "Mod1"...
+    session.workspaceChangeModifier defaults to "Control" and
+    session.windowCycleModifier defaults to "Mod1"
+  - smart placement has been made smarter thanks to Dyon Balding's smarter
+    placement patch... this patch has been modified from the original slightly
+    (mostly speed concerns)
+  - signal handling has been made more robust... this allows it to compile on
+    more platforms and now prefers to use sigaction() over signal()
+  - over all... many code clean ups were made and old commented code was
+    purged... this is a very clean very stable release... enjoy people :)
+
+
+Changes from 0.50.3 to 0.50.4:
+  - changed some Copyright information to include the current year
+  - added a number of platforms to the Supported Platforms section of the
+    README
+  - added the Slit... the Slit is a window maker dockapp util that lets users
+    use all of applications with Blackbox, and allows users to easily switch
+    between Window Maker and Blackbox more easily... it is included by default,
+    but you can remove it from the source with --disable-slit on your configure
+    command line
+  - large Brueghel styles and images removed from the base distribution
+  - merged a patch from Benjamin Stewart for very robust menu parsing... this
+    patch allows for parenthesis in menu files, and works well for
+    automatically generating menus from shellscripts and programs... the menu
+    syntax has not changed... it just is understood better :)
+  - added shell style tilde-slash (~/) home directory expansion for the
+    [include] and [style] tags in menu files
+  - added some sanity to window position/gravity code to for GTK applications
+  - added Window Maker style Mod1+MouseButton1+Motion window moving (for those
+    few braindead apps that like to be positioned where no decorations are
+    visible)
+  - added a SIGCHLD handler to clean up processes started by a startup script
+    that then exec's blackbox (gets rid of all those zombie processes)
+  - added a new resource to .blackboxrc which tells Blackbox where to put the
+    Slit... editing your .blackboxrc to change this is discouraged and
+    discarded, as the Slit has a menu that lets you select where to put it
+    (click any mouse button on the slit and see for yourself)
+  - fixed a bug in the workspace renaming feature that ate all Shift keypresses
+
+
+Changes from 0.50.2 to 0.50.3:
+  - few documentation updates
+  - fixes to let -lgen actually get linked with the executable (fixes compile
+    errors on some platforms, most notably, IRIX 6.5)
+  - a new series of styles has been added to the distribution (this accounts
+    for the increased size)
+  - fix to let 16 color servers run blackbox (colormap reduction)
+  - various bug fixes... numerous strncpy's changed to sprintfs...
+  - default font set internally to "fixed" (to let it run on servers that don't
+    have any fonts installed)
+  - fixed bug to let blackbox remove all but the last workspace (instead of the
+    last two)
+  - window gravity offset changes
+  - the default key grabs have changed... there are now 4: alt-tab,
+    shift-alt-tab, ctrl-alt-right, ctrl-alt-left... these keys perform
+    as would be expected
+  - fixed wire move bug for transient windows
+  - passified error handing for the main window class
+  - fixed gravity restore for restart/exit purposes
+
+
+Changes from 0.50.1 to 0.50.2:
+  - minimal KDE integration (configure/compile time option, turned off by
+    default).  This is unfinished and i can't really say if i ever will finish
+    it, but there is enough there to integrate the panel and other modules
+    with Blackbox.
+  - changed the regexp in building menus to use a comma (,) as the separator,
+    instead of a period
+  - various bug fixen (like the one where the window list would stay put after
+    the workspace menu went away)
+  - some hacks to improve speed in the LinkedList routines
+  - new stacking method (to better integrate with the KDE support)... windows
+    are no longer in different "levels", raising windows brings them ALL the
+    way to the front (so it's possible to obscure override redirect windows
+    like image splashes etc.) and lowering throws them ALL the way to the
+    back (even under kfm's icons)... however, the rootmenu and the toolbar
+    (if configured to be ontop) will be placed above raised windows
+  - sticky windows have changed due to the new stack implementation, they can
+    be anywhere in the stack (and not always ontop or onbottom)
+  - session.screenNUM.toolbarRaised resource has changed to
+    session.screenNum.toolbarOnTop
+  - the workspace label in the toolbar is sized a little more sanely now
+    (i found that it looks the best when the workspace label width == clock
+    label width)
+  - colormap focus now has it's own resource, session.colormapFocusModel, which
+    is set to "Click" by default, which means you have to click a window's
+    decorations or the root window to (un)install a colormap... setting this
+    resource to "FollowsMouse" will work just as it says... the window under
+    the pointer will have it's colormap installed
+
+
+Changes from 0.50.0 to 0.50.1:
+  - eliminated the need for XConvertCase... workspace editing should now print
+    any and all characters correctly
+  - added check for libgen.h (which provides the prototype for basename() on
+    some systems, like OpenBSD)
+  - some code obfuscation (i've been removing comments, as some of them don't
+    relate to some of the code below them... i plan on recommenting the code
+    some time soon)
+  - clicking button 3 will hide ANY menu now, and in the case of the workspace
+    and or client menus, any other menus and/or buttons associated will be
+    closed as well
+  - added a patch for multi-screen which sets the DISPLAY env variable so that
+    items selected from one screen don't show up on another... many thanks to
+    F Harvell <fharvell@fts.net> for this
+  - fixed a clock bug... again thanks to F Harvell for this one
+  - complete and proper window placement and window restore has been
+    implemented... windows that are partially off screen will be placed in the
+    center of the root window
+  - the toolbar's workspace label is now dynamically sized according to the
+    length of the workspace names
+  - as stated above... workspace name editing has been completely redone, i
+    discovered XLookupString() this weekend and have deemed it the function of
+    the week... any and all characters should be printed properly now
+  - window placement now has it's own resource...
+    session.screen<NUM>.windowPlacement which may be set to SmartPlacement
+    (which has been implemented) or anything else to default back to cascade
+    placement
+  - a new resource, session.screen<NUM>.toolbarWidthPercent has been added, and
+    should be set to an integer representing what percentage of the root window
+    width the toolbar should occupy (default has been changed back to 67)
+
+
+Changes from 0.40.14 to 0.50.0:
+  - added util/ subdirectory to place small, utility programs to use in
+    conjunction with blackbox.
+  - updated the README... it's still vague and useless, but gives a better
+    view of whats going on
+  - the configure script now checks for a few more headers, setlocale and
+    strftime in addition to basename functions to better include support for
+    multiple arch/langs/etc.
+  - updated default menu file... made it a little more general... and made
+    the default style menu [include]'d instead of explicitly included...
+    this break off of the style menu allows for custom menus to include the
+    default style menu for a create selection of styles
+  - changed all the default styles to use bsetroot instead of xsetroot
+  - menu handling has been improved... no more than one menu at a time may be
+    visible on the desktop (save for the root menu and it's tear off menus)
+    this means that you can't have multiple window menus and the workspace menu
+    open all at once... which saves screen space and reduces clutter
+  - much of the code has been reorganzied and reformatted for better
+    readability... this consists of function name changes and function
+    "ownership" (which basically means workspaces aren't managed by the toolbar
+    itself anymore, but by a general screen class on which the toolbar can
+    operate)
+  - the workspacemenu now autohides when selecting a window from one of the
+    window lists
+  - removed many empty destructors for Basemenu subclasses to improve code
+    readability
+  - two new files, Screen.cc and Screen.hh, have been added to the distribution
+    they add the new class BScreen which was needed for the biggest change of
+    the Blackbox code base, the addition of multiple screen (i.e. multihead)
+    support.  A separate BScreen is created for each screen, and all screens
+    work inconjunction with the other... windows can't be passed between
+    screens, because the X server doesn't allow this (more investigation on
+    this later)
+  - the toolbar's clock format is now controlled by the strftime() function...
+    if configure can't find this function on your system, the old date/time
+    format is used... with strftime, clicking on the clock doesn't display the
+    date... as the date may now be part of the clock display... read the man
+    page for the strftime function to write a format string for your clock,
+    and place it in .blackboxrc (i.e.
+      session.strftimeFormat: %I:%M %p on %a, %b %d is my strftime format
+    string)
+  - the toolbar has been stripped of it's workspace responsibilities, but this
+    change has no effect on the end user.
+  - common code interspersed through out the code has been consolodated into
+    small functions and called multiple times instead of having the same or
+    similar code repeated in the same class
+  - the window startup code has been improved upon again so that shaded windows
+    are restored between restarts
+  - some ICCCM code has been updated to properly reflect the state of windows
+    while shaded or on different workspaces... this state code change should
+    also fix the JX toolkit problem of deiconifying and nothing being redrawn
+  - the main Blackbox class has been changed to purely handle X events... it
+    doesn't manage resources (save for those necessary for proper event
+    handling, like the focus model for each screen)
+  - the format of .blackboxrc has changed slightly, the session.menuFile,
+    session.doubleClickInterval, session.imageDither, session.styleFile,
+    and session.colorsPerChannel resources are unchanged.  However, the
+    following resources are screen dependant:
+
+	session.screen<num>.strftimeFormat
+	session.screen<num>.workspaces
+	session.screen<num>.workspaceNames
+	session.screen<num>.toolbarRaised
+	session.screen<num>.focusModel
+
+    where <num> is the screen number (zero being default and all that would be
+    present on a single screen/monitor setup).
+  - a utility named bsetroot (mentioned above) has been included in the
+    blackbox distribution, to aid in setting root window patterns (ala
+    xsetroot).  the only different between xsetroot and bsetroot is that
+    bsetroot doesn't redefine cursors, and doesn't restore defaults if no
+    arguments are given.  bsetroot does support multiple screens, and is ideal
+    for those setups (instead of running xsetroot for each screen)
