Excerpts from internet.other.info-andrew: 16-Nov-92 Flakiness on SGI Indigo Bob Glickstein@zindigo.z (830) > When reading text with a large inset visible, scrolling backwards via a right-click in the scrollbar sometimes causes a core dump. We have fixed some code wrt scrolling insets, but I don't think any core-dumps were fixed.

Volume wise not a great deal, but quite a bit of change has ... Changes... Support for color images and colormaps is being built into im, graphic and view. Observable objects (text, buttons, views, etc...) are now refcounted (in such a way applications written before should generally continue to work without modification) Core leak fixes in xim Totally new stuff... Figure editor, replacing zip which has moved to contrib. Preferences editor. Color image inset Bison (the Andrew Consortium version), eventually to replace all use of yacc. atk/syntax (including Bison) is intended to provide parsing support so duplication of effort can be avoided among applications where it is useful to use lex/yacc. The above is entirely from memory it may or may not be complete or accurate. I imagine we will post an official list of changes with the announcement of the members only release later this month. -Rob Ryan Andrew Consortium
