> 1. The title bar on the map layer window looks a bit nicer
> 2. You can now select panel options by clicking the icon/button in the map
> layer window. Previously, you had to click the text.
> 3. I did a complete makeover to the EPSG projection setting GUI. There is now
> a search engine that allows you to search for any text string, will
> automatically grab the associated EPSG code, and put it into the EPSG code
> entry window.
> 4. I put all the define new region code into the tcltk script (it was in a
> separate bash script) so that it is now Windows-compatible (I hope). Some of
> this code will go away with planned improvements to g.proj.
> 5. When you define a location using the EPSG module, it automatically updates
> the locations list so that you don't have to restart GRASS to see the new
> location.
> 6. I did a few cosmetic improvements to the main startup window (button
> placement and consistent relief height).
