+ <h1>What is new</h1>
+
+ <h3>Version 3_1</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ The distribution has been tuned for <tt>Linux</tt>;
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The complete source code is now available for download;
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The script to build the distribution is now based on <a href="http://ant.apache.org/index.html">Apache Ant</a> and
+ is therefore platform independend;
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The <a href="bugs.html">bugs</a> in Version 3_0 are fixed.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 3_0</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>iTe will now also run on MS Windows platforms.
+ </li>
+ <li>A major code review took place.
+ </li>
+ <li>iTe does not use it's own HTML-browser anymore.</li>
+ <li>The <a href="bugs.html">bugs</a> in Version 2_20 are fixed.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 2_20</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The <a href="bugs.html">bug</a> in Version 2_15 is fixed.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 2_15</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The <a href="bugs.html">bug</a> in the short-lived Version 2_1 is fixed.
+ </li>
+ <li>The test suite is now integrated in the online help and can also
+ be accessed before installation using <code>make check</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>The <span class=ite>iTe</span> web pages got a face lift.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 2_1</h3>
+ <p>
+ The perl module of iTe got an overhaul. It now handles included eps files
+ which do not conform to the PostScript file description format (for example files generated by Matlab).
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Version 2_01</h3>
+ <p>
+ This minor release fixes two <a href="bugs.html">bugs</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Version 2_0</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>All known <a href="bugs.html">bugs</a> are fixed.
+ </li>
+ <li>iTe is now much more user friendly. The package does include a help browser.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 1_3</h3>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Known bugs are fixed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The local html-documentation is now accessed via
+ <tt>doc/htmlmanual/index.html</tt>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ There is a new tokenlist <tt>\everyite</tt>. Use it to insert tokens
+ in every <tt>iteblock</tt> environment. Very useful to fix the size
+ of the font, for example with
+ <tt>\everyite={\fontsize{10}{12pt}\selectfont}</tt>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 1_2</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ The code is completely rewritten, cleaner, and better documented.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Major impovements</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ iTe teams up with AucTeX to process multiple files via a master file.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ iTe is not a minor mode anymore, but instead operates directly on
+ objects with the help of text properties. Objects can be selected
+ with the mouse.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Handles even huge included eps-files. If the size of an
+ eps-file exceeds a certain threshold, the user has the option
+ to only display a bounding box.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The dimensional argument (xdim,ydim) of the <em>iteblock</em>
+ environment is now optional. If omitted, the block
+ automatically adapts its size to include all of its objects.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The parsing of the PostScript code is now done with Perl,
+ not by (X)Emacs anymore. This improves speed and requires less
+ memory.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p></p>
+
+ <h3>Incompatibilities</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li> For LaTeX, iTe is now loaded via <tt>\usepackage{ite}</tt>,
+ and <b>not</b> via <tt>\input ite</tt>.
+ </li>
+ <li> The
+ <tt>\grabber</tt> was impoved so that it now rotates about the
+ center of the circle. This will cause small offsets for the old
+ grabber.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <h3>Version 1_1</h3>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Zooming now works also for scaled documents, for example documents
+ which contain
+ <pre>
+\special{!userdict begin /bop-hook{0.5 0.5 scale} def end}
+ </pre>
+ Very useful for oversized paper sizes like posters.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ iTe block environments can now occur inside scaled boxes, for example
+ <pre>
+\scalebox{0.5}{%
+\begin{iteblock}(\textwidth,8cm)
+\ite\includegraphics{sc.eps}
+\ite$\sin x$
+\end{iteblock}}
+ </pre>
+ Note that <em>\scalebox</em> is defined in the <em>graphics</em> package.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Bug due to incorrect scaling (thanks to Manuel H&ouml;l&szlig;).
+ <li>
+ Bug involving killed message window fixed (thanks to Jan Vroonhof).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
