Version 0.30. 9. June 2001
 - A date-option for filename guesses has been
   added. It can be accessed with __date__.
   The format of the date is set via the
   new rc-file-option: dateformat. The format
   is entered via the ANSI C decription. Default
   is %x for the English rc-files and %d.%m.%y for
   the German and Spanish ones.
   ATTENTION: This means that you should update
   your config-file! 
 - I adopted the names of my user-levels to gnome's settings.
   The old names persist. You can call them beginner, novice,
   intermediate, normal, advanced, expert and 0,1,2 now.
 - A standard-function for yes, no, true, false etc. in the
   rc-file and options has been defined.
 - I made the annoying clauses disappear from the buttons.
   They are replaced by '...'. When you select them, the
   clause is copied to the entry. I think that is a must.
 - Split up of the file TODO. The bugs are now in
   the file BUGS.
 - A documentation has been written. But the topic
   is not really exhausted.
 - If you browse for a filename, the browsing starts in the
   filename_guess_path
 - The expertlevel-gui has been resized.
   It should fit on a normal screen now.
 - Restructured install- and uninstall-file.
 - The rc-fields mydvipdf, mydvips, myeditor, mylatex, 
   myprintcommand and myxdvi have support for the
   variables __filename__ and __short_filename__.
   The latter means the filename without the suffix.
   ATTENTION: The rc-file has to be updated to match these new features.
 - 'Estimado/a'-opening added to Spanish rc-file.
 - Addressformat in .gtex-letterrc.english updated.
   The zip moved to a place at the end of the line and
   other minor changes in the addressformat.
 - A bug in the handling of the addressbook reported
   by Kenneth N. Flaxman was solved.


Version 0.21. 25. Mar. 2001
 - gtex-letter is ready for translation. So far, a German
   translation is included in the distribution.
 - A Spanish rc-file has been included in the distribution.
 - The code has been enhanced with Exceptions and error handling.
 - opening-entry was limited to 64 chars. It's 1024 now.
 - the splash screen was enhanced with the version and the
   gui-level.


Version 0.20. 4. Mar. 2001
 - Support for serial letters.
 - Simpler examples of letter-headers.
 - German letter-header 'g-brief' added.

Version 0.14. 15. Feb. 2001
 - the programm can now 'guess' filenames. The format
   of the filename to be choosen can be configured.
 - usage-message (gtex-letter -u) restructured 
 - configuration of addressformats in the config-file. 
   (the .gtex-letterrc has a new block of options 
   called addressformat.0 etc. please update you rc-file)
 - There is an enhancement of the format for the
   defaultvalues for openings and closings. This is
   for writers, that compose letters in a language, where
   the opening/closing depends on the sex of the addressee.
   Check README for more infos. (This code is quite
   experimental. Please check it out and get back to
   me.)
 - Only addresscards with a postal address are displayed.
   Telephone goes as an address too in this matter.
 - Startup-option quitelatex.
 - An import and a save-button for the Contents-field.
 - Advertise line for the LaTeX-File. (It can be suppressed)
 - Renamed the main-module
 - Handful of bugs. In special 'files/dirs not found' 
   and similar things.

Version 0.13. 6. Feb. 2001
 - piping of text/address into gtex-letter
 - no-splash-screen - option
 - multiple addressbook-files
 - The addressbook ist no sortable; ascending and descending
   by clicking on the column title. 
 - Select an address by double-clicking. 

Version 0.12: 3. Feb. 2001 
 - You can now choose from three different complexity levels
   of the gui: novice, intermediate, expert. Novice is easy 
   to understand, expert is all in one big page. 
   (Attention: This affects the .gtex-letterrc-file as 
   well. There is a new option called 'guilevel'. You should 
   adopt your old rc-file.
 - i moved some code around 
 - autoletters (non-interactive letter generation):
   this is done via 'nogui'-option. You just supply enough
   info on the command-line and gtex-letter gets it all
   done for you. Optionally, letters can be printed without
   showing them first.

Version 0.11: 31. Jan. 2001 
 - support for subject implemented (in the standard letter-class, 
   there is no subject. I implemented in in the LaTeX-Code in 
   .gtex-letterrc. It looks very ugly.
 - proper searching for the rc-file (cwd, home, install-dir) 
   and other files as well
 - new logo-pix
 - support for following addressbook-fields: middlename, 
   suffix, post_office, region
 - a lot more startup options 
 - Cleanup of code.

Version 0.1: 29. Jan. 2001
 - This is an unstable first release. It works 
   for me but this might be luck... I hope to 
   get feedback after the initial release.
