This document provides Release Notes for the release of Motif 2.3.8.

This contains information on what is new in Motif 2.3.8. 
Please see the COPYING file included with this release.


Introduction

This document and accompanying text files contain important information. 
Please read them carefully before starting the build and
installation procedures.

There are two ways to build Motif from source code: Imake and AutoTools.

If you are using Imake, please read INSTALL.imake for notes on how to build
and install this product using Imake. This method is deprecated due to
a lack of support. Users wishing to apply/test and patch the Imake system
should join the development mailing list; all contributions are welcome.

Please see the file INSTALL.configure on how to build and install this product
using the autoconf tools. This method is now fully supported and 
is the recommended build method.


1. What is Motif

Motif user interface component toolkit. Motif is built on top of the 
standard X Toolkit(Xt) and X11 libraries.

   (integer overflows) and CAN-2004-0688 (stack overflows)].
b. Fixed compilation under SUSE 9.1.
c. Fixed building procedure under FreeBSD.
d. Fixed building procedure in order to make it usable with 
   new versions of autoconfig.

2.2.3 August 2002
a. uil support for the new widgets was finished along with 
   demonstrations in the periodic demo.
b. Several bugs were fixed. 
c. Automake building is supported in an object directory. 

2.2.1 January 29, 2002
a. The Test directory that contained the automated tests was mentioned 
   in the Release Notes but absent from the source distribution. 
   The reference in the Release Notes was removed. The Tests are still 
   available from the CVS tree.
b. Due to an oversight, imake support was not included in the distribution. 
   It was added back in this update.

   files were updated to use the proper #include files.

e. The directory demos/unsupported/motifshell contained no source code but 
   was mentioned in configure.in. The proper source code was placed 
   in this directory.
f. ToolTip.c and SlideC.c were included in config.h twice. The extra 
   reference was removed.
g. The demos for the new widgets were originally placed in the directory 
   demos/programs/newwidgets. To maintain consistency, they were moved 
   to demos/programs.
