These were mostly +obscure. I could not have tracked them down so quickly without Source +Navigator---it's a great way to find your way around code (plug!). + +rc now uses GNU automake. Although I feel that automake is sticking +plaster to mend a broken leg, it has made my job as maintainer easier. +(Errm, apart from tracking down bugs in automake itself, that is.) For +people building rc, it's now possible (depending on your flavour of +`make') to build in a separate directory from the source. + +Creeping featurism: rc now has a `-V' switch to report its version +number. + +Binaries of rc-1.5b3 are typically a few kilobytes smaller than 1.5b2. +I believe this is due to improved autoconfiguration: we are now much +more careful only to include code that will be used. + +rc-1.5b3 will build under the beta18 release of CygWin32. It won't run +trip.rc successfully, and does not appear to be very stable. + +See ChangeLog for more details. + +Tim Goodwin +1998-02-19
