Version 3.0 Announcement
It's been 9 months since the last release. Finally, I've got rotation
(and a bunch of other stuff) to work. This release is a beta release
at best. Please send bug reports to william@cs.columbia.edu as soon as
possible so I can release patches. Although version 3.0 is
backward-compatible,
the file format is not forward-compatible (you won't be able
to read files generated by this version with older versions of tgif).
I've just put tgif-3.0 source in the following places for anonymous ftp
(binaries are not available yet at the time of this release, please check
for availability):
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/tgif/tgif-3.0.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/tgif/tgif-3.0.tar.gz
ftp://bourbon.cs.ucla.edu/pub/tgif-3.0.tar.gz

bourbon.cs.ucla.edu:8001 is applications/x-tgif.)
Tgif is free, but please read the Copyright file in the distribution
