+
+Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
+and added new features:
+<UL>
+ <LI> the installation procedure was splitted into two parts: the basic
+ installation (running in batch), and the setting file modification
+ (comfortable menu)</LI>
+ <LI> mkcommand.vst normally will be adapted to new Tcl version automatically, </LI>
+ <LI> the main file list in the file selection menu can be reduced
+ to display only TeX files having a <tt>\documentclass</tt>
+ or <tt>\documentstyle</tt> command, </LI>
+ <LI> hyphenations can be removed from the displayed list by mouse click,
+ removed hyphenations will not be added to the list of already
+ checked hyphenations, </LI>
+ <LI> the list of checked hyphenations can be sortetd alphabetically, </LI>
+ <LI> logfile-analyze is followed by makeindex-analyze now, </LI>
+ <LI> printers in the printer selection menu can now be sorted alphabetically
+ (see new variable <tt>prtlistsort</tt> in setting file install.vst), </LI>
+ <LI> URL links in LaTeX syntax help to the local teTeX TeX/LaTeX documentation
+ (if avalilable) and to TUG-TeX-FAQ's, </LI>
+ <LI> TeX-autostart (at the moment when edit file or main file is
+ modified) is available as new option (new variables: <tt>texautostrt</tt>
+ and <tt>texautostrtv</tt> in file install.vst). </LI>
+</UL>
+The setting files from older versions of xtem are mostly compatible
+(mkcommand.vst will be automatically updated),
+thus switching from the older version (xtem v.6) to the new release will be done easily.
+
+
+<H2><A NAME="version6">xtem version 6 compared with version 5:</A></H2>
+
+Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
+and added new features:
+<UL>
+ <LI> key bindings ("accelerators"/"short-cuts" and "(Page) Up/Down Keys"),
+ see new variable <tt>bindkeysenab</tt> in file install.vst, </LI>
+ <LI> page selection in print menu is controlled for the existence of the
+ selected page numbers in the document, </LI>
+ <LI> "a lot of" error correction in logfile-analyze, </LI>
+ <LI> we have written a program to display all (new) hyphenations found in
+ the dvi-file, this program can be enforced to run automatically
+ after each TeX run, see new variable <tt>texposthyph</tt> in file install.vst, </LI>
+ <LI> shift modifier for quick&amp;dirty button: TeX run of preamble+edit-file, </LI>
+ <LI> shift modifier for print button: immediate print (without print menu), </LI>
+ <LI> you can now force bibtex run after TeX run (will be done only if
+ string "... undefined references" is found in .log-file), see new
+ variables <tt>texpostbib</tt> and <tt>texposttex</tt> in file install.vst, </LI>
+ <LI> you can now force makeindex run after TeX run
+ (will be done only if .idx-file has changed), see new
+ variables <tt>texpostind</tt> and <tt>texposttex</tt> in file install.vst, </LI>
+ <LI> new setting variable <tt>texpostps</tt>: you can now prevent the dvips run
+ immediately after Tex run (in case of ghostview as previewer), </LI>
+ <LI> print actions (e.g. for a5booklet) can now be specified in prt_dvi*.vst
+ instead of prt_dvi*.tcl, </LI>
+ <LI> the flickering of the main menu buttons during TeX runs is prevented, </LI>
+ <LI> new setting variable <tt>shortbutts</tt> to reduce the left buttons in main menu
+ and display most of the information at menu bottom when mouse enters the button, </LI>
+ <LI> new setting variable <tt>mousebutts</tt>: you can now use xtem with a
+ 2-button-mouse too, </LI>
+ <LI> new setting variable <tt>texedit</tt>: environment variable <tt>TEXEDIT</tt>
+ can now be set to an editor call at your choice
+ (up to now <tt>TEXEDIT</tt> was set to the current editor at all cases). </LI>
+ <LI> Installation procedure checks for the programs used in the setting files. </LI>
+</UL>
+The setting files from older versions of xtem are mostly compatible
+(mkcommand.vst needs an updating; a new setting file hyphen.vst will
+be automatically installed),
+thus switching from the older version (5.23) to the new release will be done easily.
+
+
+<H2><A NAME="version5">xtem version 5 compared with version 4:</A></H2>
+
+Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
+and added new features, the most important are:
+<UL>
+ <LI> Better installation of the menu (installation and maintenance menu,
+ installation and maintenance guide now as LaTeX file). </LI>
+ <LI> "quick&amp;dirty" button for quick (La)TeXing and previewing of a small piece of
+ text by means of mouse grab. </LI>
+ <LI> Logfile analyze after (La)TeX run with creation of tags for quick editing
+ the .tex files at the positions of errors and warnings. </LI>
+ <LI> The edit file can now be selected from another directory than the main file. </LI>
+</UL>
+The setting files from older versions of xtem are mostly compatible
+(mkcommand.vst needs an updating and you are recommended to update texfmt.vst in order to
+use the new "quick&amp;dirty" facilities),
+thus switching from the older version (4.16) to the new release will be done easily.
+
+
+<H2><A NAME="version4">xtem version 4 compared with version 3:</A></H2>
+
+Besides adapting xtem to new Tcl versions we have done error corrections
+and new features, some of them are:
+<UL>
+ <LI> file and directory selection in one menu, directory creation possible now </LI>
+ <LI> radiobuttons where possible </LI>
+ <LI> double mouse clicks in select boxes replaced by simple mouse click </LI>
+ <LI> improvements in the program execution </LI>
+ <LI> creation of the TeXtool buttons in the main menu optional by choice of
+ the local administrator </LI>
+</UL>
+The setting files from older versions of xtem are compatible
+(mkcommand.vst excepted), thus switching from the older version (3.12) to the
+new release will be done easily.
