Dear XForms users,

I am glad to announce the release of XForms 1.0.90, which marks a
first step on the road to XForms 1.1.0. This development release has
the primary goal of making sure that the new autoconf-based setup used
for XForms works correctly on as many architectures as possible.

There are still a few bugs to fix before 1.1.0, and I am sure that a
couple new feature will creep in too.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the ANNOUNCE file:

V1.0.90 March 30, 2004
  o Migrate from Imake to the GNU autotools.
  o "Composite" widgets, such as the browser, can now display tooltips.
  o Prevent a crash when rotating grayscale images by 90 degree multiples.
  o Enable xforms to handle XPixmaps containing colour "opaque".
  o Tabfolder widgets are now resizable.
  o Re-add fl_lookup_RGBcolor which fell off the dist at 1.0pre3.
  o fl_init_RGBdatabase is no longer needed, does nothing and is
    retained for compatibility only.
  o Pass KeyRelease events to the widgets.
  o Display the tab forms correctly when using bottom tab folders.
  o Enable xforms to read a wider variety of gif and jpeg images.
  o Enable fdesign to work correctly with paths like ../foo/bar/your_file.fd.
  o Add a -dir <destdir> option to fdesign to place generated files in destdir.
  o Add an RPM spec file.
  o Get rid of the separate snprintf compatibility library.
  o Removal of lots of little pieces of cruft that crept into the xforms
    1.0 release.
