<h1>CVS Amaya changes</h1>

<p>This file lists bug fixes and new features introduced in the CVS version
of Amaya since the last release (<a
href="http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/New.html">Amaya 9.55</a>).</p>

<h3>New features</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Redesign of the user interface: new toolbars, palettes, panels</li>
  <li>A contextual menu provides navigation and editing commands.<br />
    Within a template instance, the contextual menu allows one to insert and
    append template components</li>
  <li>Tools can be displayed on the left, or on the right, or custumized tool
    by tool</li>
  <li>The default editing mode changes the behaviour of Enter, Delete, and
    Backspace keys 
    <p>By default Amaya works now as a classical word processing:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Enter within a block deletes the selected contents and breaks the
        bloc at the current position<br />
      </li>
      <li>Delete deletes the selected contents and moves the cursor after</li>
      <li>Backspace deletes the selected contents and moves the cursor
      before</li>
      <li>On/Off buttons or entries can be used to go in/out of an inline
        element.<br />
        For example you click strong, enter the strong text, then click
        strong to close the element.</li>
      <li>Insert and Append commands must be used to insert before and after
        the selected structure element</li>
    </ul>
    <p>The XML editing mode is more confortable when editing nested
    structures.</p>
    <p>A new option in Preferences menu allows one to switch from the word
    processing mode (called Text mode) to the XML editing mode (called XML)
    and vice versa. A new button in the bottom line displays the current
    editing mode (text or XML) and allows one to switch the mode more
    quickly.</p>
  </li>
  <li>First implementation of Amaya themes</li>
  <li>Possibility to change tabs order or to display two documents side by
    side</li>
  <li>There is now an icon in each tab area to close it</li>
  <li>The application now doesn't close when the last tab is closed</li>
  <li><strong>New XHTML document</strong> allows one to create a simple
    document or a template instance</li>
  <li><strong>Save As</strong> allows one to save without template when the
    document is a template instance</li>
  <li>The <strong>File</strong> menu gives now access to the list of recent
    open documents</li>
  <li>There is now a command <strong>Select All</strong></li>
  <li>Amaya proposes new options when a table, an image or an object are
    created</li>
  <li>The links view display all elements with an id attribute as they are
    potential targets of a link</li>
  <li>Class attributes are now displayed in the status bar</li>
</ul>

<h3>Bug fixes</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Set the environment variable G_SLICE="always-malloc" to prevent a crash
    on new Linux platforms (the crash occurs as soon as a dialog is
  displayed)</li>
  <li>A reference to the current page now moves to the top of page</li>
  <li>Amaya generated an explicit lang="en" attribute when an element of an
    English document is copied and pasted into a French document</li>
  <li>"Preserve Lines When Pasting" didn't work correctly in MacOS X</li>
  <li>The Preferences dialog didn't display correctly</li>
  <li>In dialogs, buttons that clear an URI are now displayed close to the
  URI</li>
  <li>It's now possible to delete a link with the Link dialog</li>
  <li>Maps areas could be lost</li>
  <li>The CSS parser now detects the BOM character</li>
</ul>
