About this release
------------------
This release shouldn't have happened. I didn't have time to work on
the features I wanted this release to include, so it is a bit
half-baked. The reason it is released is that several people reported
build problems with GNOME-- 1.1.19 and later, due to changes to the
Canvas API. These problems turned out to be real, so this is a quick
port to the GNOME-- 1.2 API.

New features:
	* Huge booting speed-up thanks to lazy initialization of
	  property editor GUI's
	* Improved the check for changed values
	* Menu editor bugfixes
	* Enforcing the `Only one checkbox can be selected per group'
	  rule of PalmOS
	* You don't need to go to the palette page to remove widgets
	* Ported to the API of the upcoming GNOME-- 1.2.0 release
	* New translations: Azeri (Ozgur Dogan Gunes), Walloon (Pablo
	  Saratxaga)

Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented with the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the exception of GNOME-- which you will
need to upgrade to version 1.1.21)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.

Beware of bugémons!

        Cactus
