This is a beta release of ical.  I want people to test the new
build/install process before I make a full release of ical.
If you try this release out, please let me know whether or not
you had any problems.

* Various bug fixes

* Support for Tcl 7.0 and Tk 3.3.
  *** Ical no longer works with older versions of Tcl and Tk ***

* Uses GNU style build process.  Installers just need to type "configure"
  and "make".

* Ical is more careful about the fonts it picks.  If a required font
  does not exist, it tries to find another similar font.  Eventually
  it falls back to "fixed".  You can also change from one font family
  to another very easily -- use the "Ical.fontFamily" resource.  See
  the man page for more details.

* Menus behave like most non-motif applications (unless tk_strictMotif
  is set to true).  I put in this change because most people in my lab
  hate the motif-style menus that stay popped up even after you
  release the button.

* Users can now change the interval at which ical polls its calendar
  files.  This can help if you are on a slow machine.

* Added "-popup" option for generating a nice item listing on an
  X display.  You can put "ical -popup" in your ".xsession" file
  and get a little item listing window whenever you login.

* Items now have an "owner" field to indicate who created them.

* You can interactively change alarms for each appointment.

* Backspace now deletes the last character (just like the Delete key)

* If you delete an item you do not own, it does not actually get
  deleted.  It just gets hidden from your view.

* You can now control am/pm printing, and whether a week starts with a
  monday as opposed to a sunday.

* Support for eight-bit characters.

**** Released Ical 1.7b1 ****

* Various bug fixes

* Item text now word-wraps automatically.  An unfortunate side-effect
  of this change is that explicit new-lines in old items may make the
  items have excessive new-lines.

* Notices automatically expand and shrink as the text changes.
  Appointments will optionally not allow text changes that would
  result in overflow.

* More user preferences can be set while ical is running.
  - default alarm intervals
  - default early-warning behavior
  - the time range displayed in the appointment window
  - height of the notice window
  - width of displayed appointments and notices
  - whether or not appointments allow text overflow

* Dragging with the left mouse button held down in an appointment or
  notice sets the X selection.

* The "Insert Selection" entry in the Edit menu can now be used to
  "paste" the current X selection into an appointment or notice.
  The key "^y" invokes this operation.

* On monochrome displays, item selection is indicated by changing the
  border width of the selected item instead of reversing the colors.
  This change was made because reversed colors interacted badly with
  overflow text and X selections.

* Added command line options "-fg" and "-bg".

* The menus have been rearranged a bit.

* Added a print dialog to control printing.

**** Released Ical 1.7 ****

* Added highlighting options for items.

* Changed shut up button to say "No More Alarms"

* Cleaned up man-page formatting (thanks to john@civil.su.oz.au)

* Include user name in printouts

* Changed startup code so that more things get initialized when
  the ical shells start up.  Therefore the tcl startup scripts
  need less junk.  It also makes it easier to build various
  converters and other scripts that manipulate calendar data.

* Added a "contrib" directory.

* Added a script "ical2calendar" to convert from an ical calendar to
  an old-style calendar file.

* Made "dialog_wdays" obey Monday-first option.

**** Released Ical 1.8b1 ****

* The calendar view automatically switches to the next day at midnight.
  (But only if the view is displaying the current date.)

* Added script "icalexpire" to the contrib directory.  This script moves
  expired items from the user's calendar into an archival calendar.  Use
  it if ical uses too much memory or takes too much time starting up
  because there are too many expired items in your calendar.

* Reduced per-item memory requirements.

* Added date/time/time-range/item parsing routines to library.

* Added code to import the current selection as a new item.
  The item parsing code is used to guess the date and times for
  the new item.

* Added script "icaladd" to the contrib directory.  This script reads
  an item from the standard input and adds it to the user's calendar.
  The date and times for the item are extracted from the standard input
  if possible.

**** Released Ical 1.8b2 ****

* Added a "catch" in dialog handling code to ignore the frequent grab
  errors.

* Added hook mechanism.

* Removed vertical-layout options.  It is probably used very rarely
  and is easy to set-up via a hook.

	append-hook dayview-startup {view} {
	    pack .$view.al -side bottom
	}

**** Released Ical 1.8b3 ****
