    Copyright 1992, 1995 Martin W. Scott, Gaël Marziou and Philippe Bastiani
                          Released 1st August 1995


This is a bug-fixing release of Yak 2.02, see history in documentation for
list of changes between 2.02 and 2.03



Yak 2.00 is a major release of Yak, it introduces a lot of changes since Yak
1.60. Yak 2.00 main goal was to provide more flexibility, this has been
achieved by a new way to handle options for hotkey actions and by adding
configurability to mouse cycling. Due to this, GUI code has expanded quite
a lot, so now GUI is separated from the main commodity.
Beside these major changes, there were also some less important ones among
which: 

- New option 'Activate only' for 'Cycle Windows' action. 

- New toggle in 'miscellaneous' window : 'Full Workbench'.

- KeyActivate is now disabled while a mouse button is pressed.

- Added a 'Clear' gadget to the keydef window.

- New toggle in 'miscellaneous' window : 'UNIX Dirs' 

- New option for CycleWindows action, you can now specify a pattern on the
  name of the task which handle some windows. Some examples:
  To exclude ToolManager windows (docks), you can use "~(ToolManager Handler)"     
  pattern. To cycle only BrowserII windows, you can use "#?BrowserII#?".
  To find the name of a task attached to a window, you can use ARTM and in
  the window description, you will find the name of this task on the line
  "UserPort: ... mp-SigTask". 
  
- A new tooltype for the prefs program to let you choose your own font for
  Yak GUI independently from the screen font.
 

There are also other changes not listed here, browse the doc and the GUI to
find them.

WARNING: Dutch users, I'm sorry but the nederlands catalog has not been
         updated, so there are still a lot of english strings in it. Feel
         free to send me an updated version, you will need 2 files present
         in this distribution: catalogs/nederlands/nederlands.ct and
         catalogs/yak.cd
