NEWS

+ANNOUNCE - 0.5.3 (1999-05-24)
+----------------
+Hi, I am announcing here the release of gEdit 0.5.3 - A small but powerful text
+editor for Gnome. To run this version of gEdit you require at least Gtk+ 1.2.3
+and Gnome 1.0.9. We now have full integration with the Gnome environment. This
+release is a lot more stable than 0.5.2, many of the wierd and wonderful bugs
+that cropped up have now been dealt with and I am happy to say this release is
+as stable as 0.5.1. Yes, there still are bugs, but nothing to affect day-to-day 
+usage. This release also brings in new features.
+
+	* File Revert, so you can bring back the stored copy of a file, quickly
+	  and easily.
+	
+	* Customisable Window Size settings, so now you can decide how big or
+	  small the window is when you start gEdit (This has been a very much
+	  asked for feature).
+	
+	* Customisable scrollbars, finally implemented this long time requested
+	  feature - Scrollbar is invisible until text overflows the widget, is
+	  the default now (instead of having it visible all the time).
+	
+	* New plugins! 
+	  These include: 
+	   * "Insert Time" - To insert the current date and time
+	     into the current document.
+	   * "Man Viewer" - This lets you look up man pages within gEdit.
+	   * "Wordcount" - This counts the number of characters, words and
+	     paragraphs in the current document.
+	
+	* Numerous important bug fixes, increasing stability since 0.5.2.
+	  Thanks to users for finding many of the little, more sneeky, bugs.
+	  (The ChangeLog file documents these many fixes).
+
+Source tarballs are available for download from http://gedit.pn.org; RPMs will be
+available (As soon as some are built).
+
+Any comments, bugs, etc. can be directed to me <bse@gedit.pn.org> or (This is 
+preferred) the mailing list, information is available at the web site.
+
+Thanks
+--
+Alex Roberts  <bse@gedit.pn.org>
