1999

nedit (5.02-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * Recompile against lesstif 0.89 and compile with -DUSE_XMIM.
     From the Lesstif 0.88.9 Release notes:
 
       Fixed the problem with nedit and accelerators. nedit installs and
       removes accelerators _alot_. The mask were were using to install and
       remove event handlers did not match, therefore the handler was not
       removed, but all the data the handler used was freed. Needless to say
       strange things happened after this.
 
     Looks like the nedit bugs are _finally_ fixed (thanks to Bjoern Brill
     for letting me know).

1998

nedit (5.02-4) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Make nedit comply with the keyboard policy by changing the default to
      stop trying to remap the delete key.  Fixes Bug#29472
 
   * I checked all the other nedit bugs in the bug tracking system, and they
      seem to have been lesstif bugs, or I already fixed them and forgot to
      close them, so this release lets me close out all the pending bugs.
      Fixes Bug#15616, Bug#18867, Bug#20106, Bug #20477, Bug#20709,
      Bug#23976, Bug#24257, and Bug #14512

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Tue, 17 Nov 1998 21:26:30 -0700

nedit (5.02-3) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Recomplile to get nedit to depend on lesstifg-0.83-5 (which is the
      latest and greatest) instead of the earlier lesstifg-19980310).

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Sun, 5 Apr 1998 11:32:48 -0600

nedit (5.02-2) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Fixed location of man pages

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Wed, 1 Apr 1998 22:56:44 -0700

nedit (5.02-1) unstable frozen; urgency=low

   * Fixed minor packaging issues so lintian would shut-up.
   * This is an upstream bug-fix release.  Bug fixes include:
 
 	 - -import did not work as advertised in 5.0.1. When used, it
 	   re-set a number of preferences back to default values. Could
 	   also potentially cause a crash.
 	 - Macro -> Repeat crashes on some systems.
 	 - Mouse state can get "stuck" on Alpha-based systems.
 	 - Combination of auto-wrap, auto-indent, and unbreakable lines
 	   extending the width of the window, caused nedit to unnecessarily
 	   insert blank lines.
 	 - Incorrect case-insensitive comparison in character sets > 128
 	   bits.
 	 - in by-word drag-selection (double click then drag) when begun
 	   in the middle of a whitespace selection, anchor would revert
 	   to original cursor position rather than maintaining the entire
 	   whitespace block.
 	 - Language mode names containing spaces could not be used in
 	   language sensitive user-defined menu items.
 	 - New windows did not always see existing learn/replay sequence,
 	   recorded before the window was created.
 	 - Possible crash in search_string and search_window macros, when
 	   used with long search strings.
 	 - Possible crash in get_selection("any") macro.
 	 - Under Solaris, crashes on window opening, file dialog, and
 	   language mode selection, when user-defined sub-menus were used.
 	 - Filenames containing spaces could cause the .neditdb file to
 	   become unreadable.
 	 - Escape key could not be used to cancel file-selection dialogs
 	   when the file list had keyboard focus (which it almost always does).

1997

nedit (5.0-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Minor change to description, to explain that this is linked with
      lesstif, and that lesstif still has a few problems that may affect
      stability.

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Fri, 17 Dec 1997 12:35:34 -0700

nedit (5.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed a stupid bug where I put things in /usr/bin/X11 instead of
      /usr/bin/X11R6, but debian doesn't have this symlink (just me ;-)
      This fixes bug #15135 and #15425
   * added in the proper update-alternatives stuff per the new editor policy
   * renamed "nc" to "nedit-nc" to avoid naming conflict with netcat.

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Fri, 28 Nov 1997 02:47:46 -0700

nedit (5.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream source.  Changes include:
        - Syntax highlighting with patterns for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal,
          Ada, Perl, Python, Tcl, Awk, Csh, HTML, LaTeX, VHDL, Verilog, etc.
        - Completed macro extension language (Simple C/awk-like syntax)
        - Language-sensitive preferences
        - Continuous wrap and automatic-newline wrapping modes
        - Configurable right-button pop up menu
        - Searchable on-line help
        - Programmable Smart indent.
        - Word boundary matching (<>) in regular expressions
        - Bug fixes.
   * libc6
   * Converted to use debhelper
   * Now uses lesstif (no more nedit-dmotif and nedit-smotif).  Lesstif
      now seems stable enough for Nedit to work fairly well.  The font selection
      dialog box still doesn't work, and the right-mouse-button menu seems to
      lock things up sometimes, but most everything else seems to work!

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>  Sat, 22 Nov 1997 01:01:09 -0700

nedit (4.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Changed to new upstream source, fixing a number of minor bugs.

1996

nedit (4.0.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Fixed a minor, and fortunatly benign type in rules
   * Applied several patches from the upstream maintainer to fix some bugs
         - middle mouse paste now works with no-auto-wrap mode
         - fixed a crash in Revert to Saved on a newly emptied file
         - fixed how Redo from newly saved Undo leaves window unmodified
         - fixed a crash for SGIs (Not too helpful for the rest of us...)

 -- Erik Andersen <andersee@et.byu.edu>  Fri, 25 Oct 1996 22:39:09 -0600

nedit (4.0.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
