Changes in SilkMouse 3.0
========================
1. Mouse acceleration is both smoother and faster than before.
2. The small region of resolution-dependence at very low speeds has been
removed entirely, so the sensitivity adjustment for shifting between
first and second gears has undergone appropriate changes in its
nomenclature (no longer called "res correct sense") and calibration.
First and second gears are no longer the same in low resolution.
3. The top gear ratio (relative to middle gear ratio, not base speed) is
now adjustable in half steps; previously it was locked at x2, and now
[x2.5] is the default. The adjustment range is from x1 to x4, so
those demented individuals who complained that SilkMouse was too slow
can crank it way up if they want.
4. TT users take note: in the interest of smoothness, the "partial"
acceleration setting from version 2.6 has been replaced by a simpler,
switchable res-correction limiter that does not affect the top gear
ratio. (In version 2.6, the top gear ratio was automatically
increased when TT graphics modes were used in the "partial" setting.)
5. A systemwide hold-screen option has been added. It lets you use the
mouse to momentarily freeze any application as it exits, in order to
read its output before the desktop wipes it out. This is useful when
running programs that were meant to be launched from a command shell.
6. Trivial change: you can now adjust the amount of time the screen saver
spends in its dimmed state.
7. Allowance was made for an anomaly in MiNT, under the assumption that
it will carry over into MultiTos. (Thanks to Dan Wilga at Gribnif for
the warning.)
8. The configurator accessory and CPX have been rewritten and have a
cleaner appearance. The accessory now mimics the CPX, both in its
general appearance and in its use of sliders for fine adjustments. To
keep file sizes down, the built-in help texts were removed. Consult
SILKMOUS.DOC for that information.
