> Changes since 6.4:
>
> * complete revision to avoid problems in dealing with toplevel
> windows caused by a bug in the Gnome Metacity window manager;
> thanks to Sergei Golovan.
>
> * accurate formulae for computing distances and bearings are now
> the default and should be used except on very slow computers;
> most users should select them when upgrading; thanks to Valère
> Robin.
>
> * full support for TFW files following the description available
> from the ESRI site; with the help of Jim McGuire
> (jxmcguire1_at_ualr.edu).
>
> * fonts can now be fully configured, with real-time configuration
> for map and plots fonts; font sizes selected in previous
> versions will not be considered when upgrading and manual
> selection is needed; in answer to a suggestion from Paul Gogan
> (pgmail_at_gogan.org).
>
> * user-defined methods for renaming waypoints; after a suggestion
> by Zvi Grauer.
>
> * changes in group window, suggested by Zvi Grauer: element names
> are coloured depending on being in the data-base (only updated
> when clicking or double-clicking on them), more than one element
> can be selected.
>
> * tentative support for importation of waypoints from points of
> interest in MapEdit Polish format files; asked by Zvi Grauer.
>
> * information on a waypoint can be sent to a Twitter account if
> the TclCurl library is available; with thanks to Zvi Grauer for
> his PHP script to do a similar thing.
>
> * GPSMan can now be extended through pre- and user-defined
> plug-ins coded in Tcl/Tk.
>
> * patch files may now change the procedures that set up the
> interface and initialise global variables.
>
> * explicit support for some new Garmin receivers; with thanks to
> Ken Stephens, Geoff, Elven Decker, Bill Rainey, Thomas D. Dean,
> Mark N. Reihart, Pekka Ahoi, Alex Preobrazhenskiy and Mario
> Borgnia who sent protocol lists.
