Version: 1.3  -  19-Sep-1995

Changes: - Added three new features based on many requests recieved by
           email.  (Thanks again to everyone who sent feedback, even if your
           suggestion or request still hasn't been incorporated yet.)

           Coolmail can now play sound files as an alternative to ringing
           your console bell.  See the -af and -vol options in the man page.

           Monochrome displays are now supported.  See the -mono option
           in the man page.

           The number of animation frames generated is customizable.  You
           can adjust it to get your desired animation speed and smoothness.

Files changed:  Changed: Makefile, README, coolmail.c, coolmail.man, colors.c,
                         display_list.c, render1.c.
                Added:   Coolmail.ad audio.c

Version: 1.2  -  9-Feb-1995

Changes: - Added some quick enhancements based on many requests recieved by
           email.  (Thanks to everyone who sent feedback, even if your
           suggestion or request hasn't been incorporated yet.)  Namely:

           Coolmail now behaves more intelligently if your mail reader doesn't
           empty the inbox: If your inbox contains unread mail, the flag will
           be up, and an envelope will appear.  If your inbox contains old
           mail, the flag will be down but the envelope will still be there.

           I also added the -update option (an alias for -int for xbiff people)
           and a -v option (to print verbose information that v1.1 used to
           print but v1.2 doesn't print by default).

           Make clean and make new now remove core files.

           Added the "-once" command flag to optionally reduce how often
           coolmail rings the bell.

           There are many other good suggestions, but I'm short on time, so
           they will have to wait until the next release.

Files changed:  Changed: Makefile, README, coolmail.c, coolmail.man
                Added: TODO

Version: 1.1  -  6-Jan-1995

Changes: - AAAgh!  I knew it!  V1.0 had serious bugs.  I should have tested
           more.  Fixed a bug in Makefile.  Fixed bugs in X resource handling,
           which caused coolmail to (a) sometimes lock up when spawning the
           child, and (b) bomb if resized while the mailbox was open.  Added
           a `make install' command.

Files changed:  Changed: Makefile, README, coolmail.c,

Version: 1.0  -  30-Dec-1994

Changes: - Decided to place coolmail under the Gnu Public License (GPL).

Files changed:  Added: COPYRIGHT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 0.92  -  30-Dec-1994

Changes: - Coolmail can now be resized after it is started.  Eg: By a user
           using window manager operations.

Files changed:  Changed: coolmail.c, coolmail.man, display_list.h, render1.c,
                         render1.h, display_list.c
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 0.91  -  10-Dec-1994

Changes: - Coolmail uses X resource manager to set the mail command and
           inbox if available.  The resources coolmail now understands
           are: geometry, inbox, and mailCommand.
         - Clicking coolmail while your mail app. is open causes coolmail
           to check your inbox and raise/lower flag without waiting for
           the next interval.
         - Further improved animation by rendevouzing the completion
           of animation with launching of the mail command.
         - The images are now scaled to the initial window geometry
           instead of always the same size.

Files changed:  Changed: display_list.c, display_list.h, render1.c
                Added:   coolmail.man
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version: 0.9  -  19-Oct-1994

Changes: - Coolmail now watches the inbox even while visiting your mail
           utility.
         - The mailbox "post" is now (properly) wood colored.
         - Smoother animation due to XFlush now being used with every
           window refresh.
         - No more zombie processes under Linux
         - Added this README.changes file.
         - Wrote a new README file.
         - Changed makefile.X11 to Makefile so now you simply type "make"
           to build coolmail.
         - Makefile no longer assumes you use gcc but uses CC from your
           environment.

Files changed:  Deleted: makefile.X11 (changed to Makefile)
                Added:   README.changes, Makefile
                Changed: coolmail.c, render1.h, display_list.c, colors.c
