5.      Release notes, caveats and known problems


	Changes from Version 4.23.02 to 4.23.03
        ---------------------------------------

        The default settings for dual graphics has been changed.

        The old option 'No Dual Display' (/ndd) has been replaced
        by the new option 'DUALadi' (/dual). This option is off
        by default. The default setting of the option 'Exchange
        Displays' (/2ndbrd) has been changed as well.

        If ELSAadi (4.23.03) was configured, these changes forces
        the graphical desktop of AutoCAD to appear on the graphic
        screen and AutoCAD's prompt on the primary DOS screen.

        If the user changes the option 'DUALadi' to be on,
        the graphical Birdview window will appear on the primary
        DOS screen after a reinitialization of the driver.

        Changing the setting for the option 'Exchange Displays'
        will effect the contents of both screens to be exchanged.

        Both settings, for the options 'DUALadi' and 'Exchange
        Displays', can be done via the submenu 'Display' within
        the drivers configuration menu.

        Caution: Turning off the option 'DUALadi' in the
        configuration described previously, forces AutoCAD's
        graphical desktop to appear on the primary DOS screen.
        The second screen stays black! There is no output
        of DOS text possible on the second screen. In this
        situation you should reset the option 'Exchange Displays'
        as well.

        Known problems:
        ---------------

        If you use the PowerSnap function under Genius 13.1 there
        are some problems: When moving objects with activated PowerSnap 
        pixels appear on the desktop and the system crashes.
        This is a problem of all display drivers which do not 
        support a draglist.

        WORKAROUND: Change to the Genius directory and edit the file
                    GENPRESE.CFG.
                    In the section [OSWiz] change the value of 
                    "NoRedrawInDraggen" from 0 or -1 to 1:
                    NoRedrawInDraggen [...] = 1.



	Changes from Version 4.23.01 to 4.23.02
	---------------------------------------

        Support for WINNER 3000-M and WINNER 3000-L

        Limitations:

        1) Only WINNER 3000-S /-M /-L:
           Use only ELSA config menue to change the video mode to 24 bpp.
           Don't use the standard button (16 Mio colors).


        Changes from Version 4.22.16 to 4.23.01
        ---------------------------------------

        Limitations:


        1) No support for AutoCAD Release 11

        The new driver not supports AutoCAD Release 11.

        2) No support for 3D Studio


        New Features:

        1) Graphic Text Window

        Switching to text screen (Key F1) will not leave the graphics
        mode. A window appears to display text on graphic screen.

        If you additionally use a monochrom display for text input and
        output (set the -mono switch in your *.prm file) the output
        of text in a window on the graphic screen will be disabled.

        Preliminaries for text output in a window on graphic screen:
        -------------

        - AutoCAD R12 or higher

        - the currently used resolution and font size allow
          an 82x27 text screen confortably inside the graphic
          screen

        - the new parameter -nowin, coming with this version,
          must not be set in the parameter file

        To disable text output in a window on the graphic screen
        there was introduced a new parameter -nowin. This could
        be set or reset within the config menu "DISPLAY LAYOUT"
        by mouse click or by explicitly editing your parameter file.


        2) Language ID Strings

        The language identifacation is no longer effected by
        the specified country code (parameter -cc, f. e. cc=01
        for english). The language used is now detected through
        a language ID string as used by AutoCAD. For this we
        introduced a further parameter -lg (for language).
        Such strings are given as "en" or "de" for english or
        german language rsp. If this parameter was not explictly
        set in your parameter file, the driver tries to work with
        the same language AutoCAD does. If this failed the driver
        will take the english language as default.

        The new parameter -lg will substitute the old parameter
        -cc. This old parameter has no longer effect on the driver,
        it will be ignored if it was set.

        The language ID string could be set within the configuration
        menu "MENUES" or by directly editing your parameter file.
        For example you can place the row

                         -lg en

        in your parameter file to force the driver speaking english.

        The following language ID strings will be supported by this
        version of the driver:

                         cs -  czech
                         de -  german
                         en -  english
                         es -  spanish
                         fr -  french
                         it -  italian
                         pl -  polish

        Note: Once the language ID string is set in the config menu
              or in your parameter file, it gets highest priority.
              So even if you work with an english AutoCAD, the driver
              will take the language as given by the language ID
              string set in your parameter file.


        With these changes the drivers menu files got new extensions.
        These extensions are based on the language ID strings, i.e.
        english menu files got the extension *.Men and so on. This
        is only for a uniform handling. Menu files with old extensions
        will not become incompatible with the driver.


        3) Internationalization of the XSTATUS command

        The XSTATUS command now will represent the driver status
        multi lingual.


        4) No further support for the following parameters

                -rpp  regen past plot
                -3ds  3D Studio
                -ncs  no clear screen


        Problems Resolved:

        1) DPMS Powermanagement

        Key strokes had no effect on the power management.
        The power management now works also with dual screen
        configurations.

        2) Single Sync Monitors

        The timing for single sync monitors was sophisticated
        while intializing the hardware. This problem was
        solved.
