+ eXene-2.0a
+ ------------------------
+ 
+ GRAPHICS UTILITIES
+   - modifications to xauth.sml to unpack IP addresses from Xauth file 
+      to strings for comparison; if "localhost" is specified as the
+      host to connect to, search Xauth file by the actual hostname.
+     [Feb 2005]
+ 
+ LIBRARY CHANGES
+   - modified createSimpleTopWin to return channel on which X window
+      managers may notify the window of deletion events:
+        val createSimpleTopWin : Display.screen -> {
+           geom : Geometry.win_geom,
+           border : ColorServer.color,
+           backgrnd : ColorServer.color
+        } -> (window * WindowEnv.in_env * WindowEnv.client_msg CML.chan)
+     [Jan 2005]
+ 
+   - added ICCC.xrdbOfScr, whereby an application may retrieve the strings
+      stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property of the root window by xrdb.
+        val xrdbOfScr    : EXB.screen -> string list
+     [May 2004]
+ 
+ WIDGET CHANGES
+   - routers in composite widgets now have buffered output channels;
+      this is an attempt at deadlock avoidance. (More to come on this...)
+     [Nov 2004]
+ 
+   - added the following to Widget Root, which widgets can use to obtain
+      resource specifications from xrdb, merge resource styles, and parse
+      command line arguments more easily.
+ 
+     Insert all of the resource specifications of the first style into
+     the second style, effectively giving priority to the specifications
+     of the first style.
+      val mergeStyles : style * style -> style
+ 
+     Create a style from the stings stored by xrdb in the RESOURCE_MANAGER
+     property of the root window.
+      val styleFromXRDB : root -> style
+ 
+     The following provide support for command line argument "parsing":
+      datatype optName 
+         = OPT_NAMED of string   (* custom options: retrieve by name *)
+         | OPT_RESSPEC of string (* resource options: convert to a style *)
+      type argName = string (* option spec string in argv *)
+      datatype optKind
+         = OPT_NOARG of string (* as XrmoptionNoArg. optname will assume this 
+                                 value if argName is specified in argv *)
+         | OPT_ISARG     (* as XrmoptionIsArg:     value is option string itself *)
+         | OPT_STICKYARG (* as XrmoptionStickyArg: value is chars immediately
+                            following option *)
+         | OPT_SEPARG    (* as XrmoptionSepArg:    value is next argument in argv *)
+         | OPT_RESARG    (* as XrmoptionResArg:    resource and value in next 
+                            argument in argv *)
+         | OPT_SKIPARG   (* as XrmSkipArg:         ignore this option and next 
+                            argument in argv *)
+         | OPT_SKIPLINE  (* as XrmSkipLine:        ignore this option and the 
+                            rest of argv *)
+      datatype optVal
+         = OPT_ATTRVAL of (string * AV.attr_type)
+         | OPT_STRING of string
+      (* option specification table: name for searching, name in argv, 
+         kind of option, and type of option *)
+      type optSpec = (optName * argName * optKind * AV.attr_type) list
+      type optDb
+      type attr_value
+      val parseCommand : optSpec -> string list -> optDb * string list
+      val findNamedOpt : optDb -> optName -> root -> attr_value list
+      val findNamedOptStrings : optDb -> optName -> string list
+      val styleFromOptDb : root * optDb -> style

*** 1,8 ****
! The is the fifth pre-release version of eXene 1.0.  We know that it compiles
! under SML/NJ 109.26+ and that it works on OSF/1, Irix, SunOS, Solaris, Linux
! and HPUX.  For the most part, the API is the same as the 108.5 version.

--- 1,21 ----
! This is the first pre-release/alpha version of what we shall call eXene 2.0,
! which is based on the "fifth pre-release version of eXene 1.0" (see README-1.0
! for details). This version offers a few enhancements to this previous release,
! including improved X authorization code, improved support for working with
! X resources (eg, .xrdb files), some widget deadlock-avoidance code, and support
! for receiving window deletion events from the X window manager. More such updates
! are to come (we promise!), but this release is provided in case eXene users wish
! to take advantage of a few of these features early. Because of a few API changes
! (see CHANGES for details) and more upcoming improvements, we have named this
! release eXene 2.0a. Please feel free to contact us with any bug reports, 
! suggestions, or critiques.
