Gvbox ChangeLog.

2001/05/10: Version 0.4.0

switched to autoconf 2.49f + automake 1.4e
heavily extended the configure script (biggest file in the dist :)
the sources for including xpm files are now autogenerated
simplified the status message system and even added features; status messages now have different priorities
all debugging output is now done via g_log()
reworked the key accelerator stuff for use with gettext
simplified the scrolled column list code (made more use of existing GTK widgets)
replaced the argument vector builder with a popt library call
and some more stuff I forgot

rewritten about half the code resulting in new features and better coding style
consequent use of the "resouce allocation is initialization" technique
more use of the STL framework
now Gvbox is completely independent from libvbox and tools
the timeout configuration has gone, the only reasonable timeout is now detected automatically
message list: invert colors under selection
message list: multiple selections are possible now
the navigation arrows in the toolbar are no longer there (they were only used as filling stuff anyway ;-)
the vboxd port configuration allows now service names, too
some menu rearrangements and changed accelerator keys
details frame: playback time: show more digits of small values
details frame: file size: choice unit dependent on value

multi threading. This is just the main issue of this release.
new threaded vbox client for higher responsibility
highly flexible threaded playback pipeline, resulting in RealPlayer abilities!
new thread-safe global status message system, you will now get a lot of more status messages
playback of multiple messages via job queue
trigger message playback on double click
a "Play new messages" button
a "Skip" button for skipping playback of the current message
the "Clear trash" command
the "Select new messages" and "Select all" commands
a counter in the delete dialog
confirmation option for the "Clear trash" function
confirmation option for deleting messages on exit
customizable toolbar style
new special voice pipeline task, the "Volume normalizer", for much better sound quality
better wheel mouse support

potential memory leak in the vbox client wrapper
memory leaks due forgotten unrefs of ref-counted objects
oops, I've forgotten the accel keys for the menu bar
fixed some issues with hidden accelerators in the preferences dialog
the detailed view will be also updated if you're navigating in the list while it's not focused (via keypresses)
voice message list: now the selection get's restored after resorting

the vboxplay script is no longer used, instead vboxtoau is called directly and you can specify a command to play .au files
hide horizontal scrollbar of the list if not needed
due some suggestions the CallerID column is now left-aligned
on startup jump to the most recent message
after playing a new message jump to the next new one, unless the user has stopped playback or changed the selection
tool button "Play" and menu item "Play" toggles to "Stop" while playing
the preferences dialog is no longer modal
added an OK button to the preferences dialog, and the apply button acts now like an usual apply button ;-)
all modal dialogs: set transient for the toplevel window (increases modal behaviour)
in a modal dialog, set mouse cursor of the background windows to X
a lot of code cleanups and minor changes

menu function "Connect to..." implemented
support for vbox controls implemented
remember sorting order and direction of the list
remember the size of the list and the details frame
trigger playback on <Return> and stop playing on <Escape>
periodic updates of message list and control status
new options in the preferences dialog for periodic stuff
add accelerators for notebook pages in the preferences dialog
