> 1)  If you are using Xastir with a Kenwood APRS radio with attached GPS,
>      you need to open up the interface dialog for that interface and deselect
>      "Send Control-E to get GPS data?"  That's because we finally fixed a bug

>      around in previous releases, but now that the source of the problem was
>      clearly identified, it has been fixed properly.  But existing users who
>      have interfaces of this type must take action.

> 2)  I have removed the clumsy hack that was put in to work around the one
>      broken version of Xorg-server (1.7.5) that broke Motif programs.  That
>      hack caused the context menus to be transient when you clicked the right
>      mouse button instead of real pop-ups that stuck around after the click.
>      The bug in the Xorg-server version was fixed promptly, but not before
>      several old distros made that version their default.  There should be
>      very few of those in the wild, so this hack was ifdef'd out.  Users who
>      continue to use some distro for which 1.7.5 is still in use need to
>      configure Xastir with the --with-xorg_175_workaround option to re-enable
>      the hack.
>
> 3)  There have been fixes to the Davis and LaCrosse weather station code.  Users
>      of these two station types (that use an external glue program to feed
>      weather data from a database) must recompile and install the associated
>      glue program (in the Davis or LaCrosse subdirectories).

> Other than those few very recent changes, I can't recall what else is in
> there.  We'll have to sift through CVS commit logs to make a definitive change
> list.  Most have been minor bug fixes, as I recall.
