                            Released 16 Feb 95


WARNING: This is a beta version of Yak 2.0, doc and catalog files may be
         uncomplete, there's no installer script. 
         So, this program should be only used by Yak 1.x previous users. 
         Beginners please stay away. The quality of this package is not 
         the one you are used with Yak 1.x, it may contain bugs but it
         is usable though.


INSTALLATION:

Kill Yak if you were running a version of Yak 2.0 previous to BETA 5
cd Yak_2.0_Beta
Convert
Copy Wbstartup/Yak#? sys:WBStartup 
Copy Prefs/Yak#? sys:prefs
Copy Catalogs Locale:

Then you're ready to go


CATALOGS

String begining by '**' are strings that have not been yet translated. No
attempt was made to adapt the GUI to translated strings length, it will be
done when catalogs get complete.


FEATURES

BUGS REPORTS AND SUGGESTIONS

Please report bugs/suggestions to Gael_Marziou@grenoble.hp.com, if possible
try to put the 'Yak 2.0' string in the subject in order to help me to
classify incoming e-mail.
I will post updates to this package as far as I get catalogs, docs,
installer scripts or bugs fixed. Thanks for testing Yak.
If you find a bug in Convert, the best thing to do is to send me your
s:yak.prefs and s:yak.hotkeys files with your bug report.

BETA 6

- 'Mouse Cycling' and 'MMB Shift' work now with V37 commodities.library

- Convert now writes into both ENV: and ENVARC: (yes really ;-)

- Convert was badly converting 'ClickWindows' into "Exclude Wb window'.

- Clicking on 'Miscellaneous' gadget no longer gurues.

- 'Execute Command' was no longer keeping workbench path.

  tooltype FONT. For example, you can specify: FONT=helvetica 15

- Doc updated.


BETA 5

- Deutsch catalog updated by Ingolf Koch.

- Finnish catalog updated by Arttu Kärpinlehto.

- Italian catalog updated by Alessandro Galassi.

- The "No Screen Change' option was not working. So Yak palette was
  always openned on default public screen instead of current screen, same
  thing for other hotkeys using this option.

- Definition changes for WindowToFront and WindowToBack were not taken into
  account by Yak.
 
- 'Menu Shortcut' works now.

- Amigaguide documentation now available in english.
 
- Yak is now linked with wb2cli.o (such as Yak 1.60) instead of wbpath.o in
  order to try to fix a problem with workbench path.

- Added an option to 'UNIX Dirs' to allow use of '/' instead of ':'

- Convert now writes into both ENV: and ENVARC:

- Bug in convert about 'Exclude Wb window' option.


BETA 4

- Some minor changes between main window and 'miscellaneous' window.

- When switching from one window settings to another one, the new one gets
  activated. 

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

- 'Exclude Wb window' option of WindowToFront was always enabled.

- 'UNIX Dirs' works now, or at least it seems.


BETA 3

- Convert and Yak_Prefs crashed on 68000 based machines.

- Convert can use LANGUAGE tooltype now. 

- Convert wasn't able to convert Yak 1.3 DOS command hotkeys.

- Default values for 'Execute Command' were not set.

- MMB Shift crashed the system !

- There were garbage chars after 'DiskInserted' and 'DiskRemoved' in the
  hotkey definition window.

- If a hotkey is still unnamed, use window titles like "Set options for
  <<unnamed>>" instead of just "Set options for".

- 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 ToolManger 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". 
  
- 'Blank display' has no options now, Locking was not satisfying and need
   some more work, maybe back for 2.1.

- Some strings modified and new for catalogs.


BETA 2

- Sending a 'Show' event to Yak from Exchange crashed the system !

- ScreenCycling via mouse only worked if there was a window under mouse.

- WildStar and NoClick gadgets were inverted. 

- NoClick and BlackBorder (when off) were disabling their respective system
  flags without testing them, so nickprefs was disabling click on drive and
  Yak was reenabling it after even with NoClick off.

- Position of the bottom Bevel Box of the main window was not font
  sensitive.

- Now entering the hotkey definition window disables Yak and re-enables it
  after the window is closed. This is more convenient especially for mouse
  cycling definitions..

- 2 new tooltypes for the prefs program to let you choose your own font for
  Yak GUI independenlty from the screen font. Look at the tooltypes of
  Prefs/Yak.info for some example. Warning, if the screen is not big enough
  for the window to adapt itself to the specified font, Yak will use
  topaz.font 8.
