Version 4.48 (Thursday, 02-Jul-98 22:41:01)
-------------------------------------------
- Added some more localizations, cleaned up code.
- Removed nagging system - this is now a public release.
- Release Cauchy, the first public release!
Version 4.49 (Friday, 31-Jul-98 21:41:50)
-----------------------------------------
- Fixed PPT.guide (kudos to Renè Brothuhn)
- Fixed developer archive
Version 4.50 (Friday, 14-Aug-98 19:31:42)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: When running on bitmap screens, rendering routines
got badly confused if screen depth was 5.
Version 4.51 (Wednesday, 19-Aug-98 23:10:22)
--------------------------------------------
- Work on TIFF loader: it now loads most common image types
- Bug fix: removed some code from 4.50 which caused it to fail

Version 4.52 (Sunday, 23-Aug-98 23:20:57)
-----------------------------------------
- Bug fix: Sometimes the frame would stay busy after a composite.
The race condition is now fixed.
- Bug fix: I used FreeVec() on some areas that needed FreePooled().
Oops. Sorry. This may have caused a lot of the crashes related
to Composite and AddAlpha.
- Bug fix: No longer leaks eight bytes per each call to internal
memory pool functions. Should trash a lot less memory, now!
For all of these bugs the thanks go to Valtteri Murto, who loaned
his Amiga for testing. It's amazing how little differences
in the setup can make so many bugs appear...

Version 4.55 (Wednesday, 02-Sep-98 22:43:07)
--------------------------------------------

memory fortification shell: two structures were released in
the wrong order and it saved what it could...
Version 4.56 (Saturday, 05-Sep-98 12:18:55)
-------------------------------------------
- In panic situations, did not quite cleanly
Version 4.57 (Sunday, 20-Sep-98 00:40:58)

files.
- AskReq checkbox and cycle classes fixed to use new defaults
Version 4.58 (Sunday, 20-Sep-98 21:36:30)

Now the images drawer is correctly done, as are the icons
- Release Cauchy-2

Version 4.60 (Wednesday, 14-Oct-98 20:16:56)
--------------------------------------------
- Fixed an overflow problem, if the image you loaded was from an original
directory that had more than 40 bytes of length. Duh. Reported by
Michael Bourne.
- PPT crashed if started twice. Added a temporary fix making sure you
can't start it twice and fixed the reason of the crash (it shouldn't

do not work anymore with V5. For the technically minded people:
PPTBase moved from a5 to a3, since it was causing problems with GCC.
It was a stupid idea to begin with, I admit. Should've done my
research better...

left anymore, because nobody complained...
