ANNOUNCE: Gfax gfax-0.6beta3

[George Farris <george gmsys com>]

Application
===========

Gfax gfax-0.6beta3

Description
===========

Gfax is a pop up fax application for Gnome.  It supplies the
familiar pop up window when printing to a fax printer.  Gfax
currently works with Hylafax.  Mgetty and efax support comming.

This release should be far more functional that previous releases.

Enhancements
============

 *Changed the default queue that is displayed on startup to the send
queue.
 *Added ability to delete Hylafax jobs.
 *Made "Delete Job" button sensitive only when showing send queue.

 *Gfax now attempts to display the proper sensitivity for many
  buttons, such as "Delete" and "Edit" in the Phonebooks page.

 *The send fax page is now functional and postscript files can be sent
  directly from gfax.

 *The makefile has been updated to install schema on "make install", you
  will no longer have to do a seperate "make schema".

 *When creating a new phone book the base directory defaults to
~/.etc/gfax
  so users will only have to enter a file name and not the entire path.

 *Created a gfaxlpr command for use with apps like OpenOffice.  It seem
that
  reading input in the shell sometimes fails so gfaxlpr does nothing but
  read from the standard input.  Hopefully this will work better for 
  printing from applications.  See the INSTALL file for more information
  about defining printers in OpenOffice.

Fixes
=====

The following bugs have been fixed:
 *create phonebook directory (~/.etc/gfax/) if it doesn't exist.
 *create "phonebooks" file if it doesn't exist.
 *delete old spool file when finished.
