New Release =========== GraphEd 4.* differs from the previous versions in a new graphics subsystem which is now completely based on Xlib. Also, parts of the user interface are currently being redesigned. To run the new graphed, remove the file .graphed from your working dorectory (and your home directory). To re-create this file, select the "save state" item in the "misc" menu. Fonts and Bitmap Nodetypes ========================== Fonts are now X11 fonts, and bitmap nodetypes are now in the xbm format. The distribution installs a program 'graphedold2new' which converts the fonts and standard nodetypes to in graph files to the new version: graphedold2new graph.g converts the graph 'graph.g' (the extension .g is not mandatory). This conversion should be applied *before* the graph is loaded into GraphEd. A backup of 'graph.g' is saved in 'graph.g.bak.$$' (the extension .g is not mandatory). There is also a new interface to system defined nodetypes (if you are interested, look at graphed-4.*/graphed/nodetypes). The file format has also changed slightly. The fonts and types are stored in a new, easier-to-read format. Other changes will follow. -- Michael Himsolt, Aug 10 1994
