    documentation corrections regarding default layout of frame and dialog

    switchable look-and-feel with (gs:set-look-and-feel <str-spec>)
    now on Windows the Windows look and feel is chosen correctly by default

    speedup of interpreter 

0.3
  suppressed nullpointer error when using gs:set-look-and-feel

	supppress Java error messages on Windows when shuttng down program

  gs:label now can take optional width height has last parameters
  before ann extra gs:set-size statement was necessary

  width and height specified in gs:button did not work, does now
	(note that for all other buttons/check-box an extra gs:set-size
  must still be used to change the size, it will not be added as
  optional parameters, as it is almost never used)

	now image-button can take pressed icon path after the normal path
	(gs:image-button 'TheButton "/local/run32.png" "/local/run32p.png")

  now gs:set-color working on frames and dialogs too

  font-demo.lsp showing the fonts built-in on all platforms

  new gs:text-pane for HTML and RTF (future version) formatted text
  see html-demo.lsp for a demo.

0.4 
  allow multiple re-starts from same newlisp process, this works together
  with (gs:listen true)

  parenthesis matching in text-pane and tab-size working on text-pane,
	will only work on "text/plain" flavore of text-pane

  console.lsp now remembers last directory in file dialogs save/load

	console.lsp now has list boxes for browsing contexts and variables

  changed split-pane syntax adding divider size, leaving out width/height
  which can be set with extra set-size if required

  combo-box and list-box life update now works and updates the screen 
  correctly 

  new gs:clear-list empties out a combo-box or list-box
	eliminated redundant 'action' parameter on message-dialog

  new confirm-dialog similar to message-dialog but 'yes', 'no' and optional 
  'cancel' button and fires an event.

0.5
    gs:set-size now works on frames

    new gs:remove-from removes one or more components from a container

    new gs:select-text, gs:cut-text, gs:copy-text  and gs:paste-text
    with suport for system clipboard, new gs:insert-text
   
    gs:set-background/set-color now can take a list for the r g b
    color components

    list-box now also fires event on key-entering a selection, previously only
    on mouse-double-click

    avoid Java "index out of bound messages" in parenthesis matching

    restructured text-area and text-pane event:
    (define (action-handler id code dot mark) ...)

        id = name of text widget
        code = code of character
        dot = caret position
        mark = selection position
 
    if there is no selection then dot and mark are equal
    if only the caret was moved then code is 65535 (16bit -1)

    working logic for highlighting of cut/copy save/saveAs buttons and
    related menu items in console.lsp

    working logic of maintaining directories and filenames in commonly
    established fashion between file operations

    NOTE, console.lsp has been little tested, do not use in production,
    no confirmation dialogs yet for overwiting files, save before new, etc.

		NOTE that console.lsp is broken on Windwos because iof filepath issues
    and CR-LF issues in parenhesis matching

    many documentain fixes

0.6
    gs:set-font working on combo-box and list-box

    parenthesis matching in text-pane working now on Windows too

    file operations working in console.lsp on Windows

    confirm dialog for new button in console when edit buffer is touched

    context stays selected in console

    console new button action will not reset current directory for file operations

    request-focus now works on text-area and text-pane

    eliminate Java error messages on listboxes

    new gs:select-list-item selects a list box or combo box item

    documentation changes for border-layout and others
    fixed many documantatin formatting problems
 
0.7
    because of a change in gs:listen in v. 0.6 all error messages from
    guiserver where suppresses, which made debugging difficult. Some applications
    running in guiserver v.0.6 may fail now because error messages are enabled
    again. E.g. misspelled or missing action handlers would cause no harm
    in v.0.6, but will let exit an application with an error message in v.0.7.

    gs:window creates a wimndow without any border and system bar. On MacOX X
    when setting the background in such a window to 
        (gs:set-background 'thewindow 0 0 0 0)
    totally transparent, the window will be invisible and widgets ppaced on it
    seem to float on the desktop (e.g. text from labels)

    the second to- parameter in gs:select-text is now optional and the function
    will select all text from the from- position to the end of the text.

0.8
	text-panes and text-areas did not scroll after ading to tab, fixed
	added action event to gs:tabbed-pane
    (gs:tabbed-pane <sym-id> <sym-action> <str-orientation> 
		[<sym-widget> <sym-tab-title> ...])
	the event reports: tabbed-pane-id tab-id tab-title.

	console.lsp project renamed to  newlisp-console.lsp instead, which is a
	multi tab lisp editor with run button and console window

	in scrollable text-pane and text-area after gs:set-text will scroll
	to the beginning, after gs:append-text will scroll to end

	can use gs:set-text in the tabs of a gs:tabbed-pane	

	can use gs:set-icon in the tabs of a gs:tabbed-pane

	more demos: frameless-demo.lsp and clipboard-demo.lsp

0.9
    Several functions to retrieve system properties:
    gs:get-version - gets the GUI server version number
    gs:get-screen - gets width, height and resolution of the screen
    gs:get-fonts - gets all fonts on the current system

    The following system variables can be used after a property function has
    been call once:
    gs:version - the version number
    gs:screen - list of screen parameters
    gs:fonts - list of all fonts
    Once a function has been callled onlyt the variables should be used
    for efficiency

    two new demos: properties-demo.lsp, allfonts-demo.lsp

    increased possible text size for events from 100K to 1000M 
    (mainly for editor)

    for do-nothing buttons or or other widgets specify 'gs:no-action as 
    action-handler

0.93 First 2D canvas and mouse stuff
   gs:set-select now working for toggle-button, radio-butoon, check-box

   gs:mouse-clicked, gs:mouse-dragged, gs:mouse-moved, gs:mouse-pressed
   and gs:mouse-released

   new demos mouse-demo.lsp shapes-demo.lsp animation-demo.lsp

   gs:draw-line, gs:draw-rect, gs:draw-circle
   gs:fill-rect, gs:fill-circle (raound-rect and ellipse in next version)

   gs:paint (gs:stroke for line width in next version)

   gs:delete-tag to delete a tagged group of shapes
   gs:moce-tag to move  a tagged group of shapes

0.94
   fixed message box in newlisp-edit.lsp when no c:\temp on Windows

   gs:paint renamed to gs:set-paint

   last gs:set-paint now gets correctly taken when now color is specified in
   shapes or text
 
   now different fonts on same canvas don't overwrite previous

   documentation for draw-text had syntax in reverse
   all graphics functions now sorted into all other Functions
   spellchecked documentation 

   lines are now movable too  

   gs:set-canvas - onlye used for switching between muliple canvases
   gs:set-translation - move coordinate origin
   gs:set-scale - scales up or down
   gs:set-stroke - sets drawing line width and optional cap, join and miter limit
   gs:draw-arc - draw an arc outline
   gs:fill-arc - paints a filled arc

   new stroke-demo.lsp - shows lines and outlimes with different strokes and round
   line ends

   GUI-server signon message now contains version number. Note that in the future
   newLISP binary installers for Mac OS X and Win32 icons will be placed in the
   Mac OX X application folder and Win32 desktop for the newlisp-edit.lsp application.
   Then the signon and connection messages will be unvisible. They are more thought
   as a debugging aid duwing development.

   On Mac OS X and UNIX applications can be started this way to close the terminal/shell
   window:
        newlisp newlisp-edit.lsp & exit
   this places the GUI-server process into the background and closes the termonal/shell

0.95
   fixed newlisp-edit.lsp temporal directory detection (again, thanks Sleeper)

   gs:move-tag did not distinguish between tags, fixed

   gs:set-select can take multiple id, flag pairs, fixed

   gs:split-pane divider width in split-pane did not work, fixed

   new gs:draw-ellipse - draws an elllipse outline
   new gs:fill-ellipse - fills an elllipse

   new gs:set-translation of the canvas origin coordinates
   new gs:set-rotation set the rotation of the canvas

   all tag transforms below add to the affine transform matrix
   already in the canvas 

   new gs:hide-tag - hides objects of a tag group
   new gs:scale-tag - scales an object up or down
   new gs:translate-tag - translates the coordinate origin of a tag group
   new gs:show-tag - shows objects of a tag group
   new gs:rotate-tag - function for rotating objects
   new gs:shear-tag - function for shearing objects

   like gs:move-tag all other functions work on any shape, text
   or image. 

   shaped-demo.lsp modified to show funtioning of gs:hide-tag and gs:show-tag
   via selecting or de-selecting shapes with check boxes

   gs:mouse-wheel - register mouse wheel events

   mouse-demo.lsp - modified to show mouse wheel events
  
   animaton-demo.lsp - modified to show the mouse wheel move text up/down

   new rotation-demo.lsp to show rotating objects 
   new image-demo - shows image zzomin, turning and squashing
   new textrot-demo - shows text rotation

   gs:draw-text has optional angle parameter (but can also be titled
   using gs:rotate-tag, see sample program text-rotation.lsp)

   all tag operations have optional flag to turn of screen update
   this is recommended when using several tag commands in a batch
   to do only one screen update at the end using gs:update
   the default for this flag is 'true' for doing the update.

   On all other systems except Mac OS X, double buffering is tried for
   flicker free performance when animating graphics on systems other than
   the Mac. The performance of this depends on the graphics cards used.
   Performance was execellent on 2 Windows system I tried, one of them
   4 years old.

0.96
   gs:scale-tag, gs:translate-tag and gs:rotate-tag add to the affine transform matrix
   already in the canvas (it was wrongly stated before that gs:translate-tag
   if not accumulative, but it is like all others)

   Corrections in the doc about the behaviour of gs:set-translation, gs:set-scale
   and gs:set-rotation. Again: they are all absolute, while tag operations are
   accumulative.

   rotation-demo.lsp and image-demo.lsp have been changed using gs:translate-tag
   instead the global canvas gs:set-translation. This makes it possible to
   rotate or scale several tags at the same time, using gs:translate-tag
   to supply each tag group its own center (set to 0,0). This leads also
   to better readable code. All object cooridnates to rotate or zoom are
   best defined in reference to a 0,0 center point and then moved to their
   pace with gs:translate-tag. See also description of gs:scale-tag in documentation.

   net gs:get-font-metrics - returns width and height of a string to display
   new gs:draw-round-rect - draw a rectangle with round corners
   new gs:full-round-rect - fill a rectangle with round corners
   new gs:draw-polygon - draws a polygon with 3 to N points
   new gs:fill-polygon - fill a polygon with 3 to N points
   new gs:set-cursor - set one of 14 cursor shapes

   new cursor-demo.lsp tot show different cursor shapes

0.97
   gs:mouse-dragged fired invalid events when not defined but gs:mouse-clicked
   was defined.

   gs:mouse-pressed, gs:mouse-released and gs:mouse-clicked now take an optional
   'true' parameter. This makes events carry a list of tags, which have been
   affected by one of the above mouse actions. This can be used to implement
   object dragging (see the new drag-demo.lsp) it also opens the possibility
   of creating self-drawn custom controls on a canvas because clicks can be
   detected on tags. The code mouse-demo.lsp has been simplified to detect
   tags to delete by using the tag list in the mouse-clicked event.

   events generated by gs:mouse-pressed, gs:mouse-released, gs:mouse-clicked
   and gs:mouse-dragged besides the new tags spec also carry a number for
   modifier keys, e.g. pressing ctrl or shift while clicking the mouse.
   See the modified moused-demo.lsp.

   gs:text-pane and gs:text-area now can register gs:mous-clicked events
   in the newlisp-edit.lsp app a popup  has been implemented as a right click
   (or ctrl-click for one-button mouse) to popup an edit menu.

   new drag-demo.lsp

   Point detection is implemented for closed shapes, images and text. Precise
   deletection is done for images, text, polygons and rectangles, but for
   circles and ellipses the whole rectangle enclosing the shape is used
   for calculations. A precise point detection limited only to the inside
   of the circle or ellipse will be implemented at a later time.

   Images must carry width and height parameters in the gs:draw-image statement.
   Drawn text is detected by calculating the enclosing rectangle.

   new gs:draw-path - similar to polygon but the path may stay unclosed.
   new gs:export - exports to an image file in png in RGB + alpha channel
   format.

   Note that detection will fail if scaling or translation has been used to
   for the canvas or drawn objects involved, because mouse coordinates do
   not sync to object coordinates in a scaled or translated coordinate
   system.

   new gs:menu-pop and gs:show-popup implements popup menus for gs:text-area,
   gs:text-pane and gs:canvas. For a demo see newlisp-edit.lsp and
   drag-demo.lsp

   bug fixes in newlisp-edit.lsp when closing other but the last tab.

0.98
   popup menus on canvas now also working on Win32

   gs:open-file had problems with file masks (changed parameter format)

   new gs:frame-closed - registers an event for a closing frame or dialog

   new gs:find-text - finds and selects text in a text rea or text panel widget

   new gs:mouse-event - registers a general mouse-event for any component
   see allfonts-demo.lsp, button-demo.lsp  and the Fontbook button in 
   newlisp-edit.lsp for demo

   changed some shortcut keys in newlisp-edit.lsp to be more standard conform

   newlisp-edit.lsp has now text search and replace implemented

   newlisp-edit.lsp now has fontselection implemented

   splash screen working, see doc for new gs:dispose-splash

0.99
   gs:find-text selection now positions and highlights correctly on Win32

   now showing directories on Win32 even when file view is constrained to text files:
   .lsp .c .h .txt .java .htm .html .css .php .pl .py .rb .lisp .el .cl .cpp
   what are other essential text formats on Win32?

   graceful error recovery on most errors in GUI-server: after the error
   message box is closed, the app will try continue and not exit as before.

   better parenthesis matching performance on larger files
   (but minor flicker on Win32)

   gs:get-font-metrics got stuck on last queried value

   gs:set-tab-size when used on gs:text-pane, sets the tabsize in points
   
   added ctrl-M to clear monitor area in newlisp-edit.lsp

   find previous, undo and redo in newlisp-edit.lsp

   new gs:undo-text and gs:redo-text, if no menus or code is used
   ctrl-z and ctrl-shift-z and meta-z meta-shift-z (MacOS X) are
   still hardwired into gs:text-pane

   text widgets now also respond to the general gs:mouse-event

0.991
   Text selection was still broken on Win32 when starting out with a file containing
   carriage returns or when entering new text. It only worked on files loded without
   CRs even when etering new text. Now it seems to work in all situations, setting
   a Java system property to LF only and converting text when it goes in/out.

   Changed run button to auxiliary stateful newLISP process as used
   previously in console.lsp. Now evaluation via the newLISP run button
   is stateful unless the restart button is hit to restart the 
   other newLISP process. If  the process exits, e.g. when closing a GUI-server
   applications the small LED turns red. When hitting the run-newLISP button
   and the newLISP process is down, it will get restarted automatically.

   Only one GUI applocation should be started at the time from newlisp-edit.lsp
   starting more than one is unreliable and blocked on MacOX X.

   There are som unreliabilities running GUI-Server apps from newlisp-edit.lsp
   on Win32, which have not been worked out. Text in the edit area should be saved
   before running a GUI-server app, to be safe.

 
0.992
  File dialog file mask selection was broken again

0.993

  Eliminated flicker when matching parenthesis in bigger files.

  A canvas now can be treated like any other container adding other
  widgets to it (see demo textrot-demo.lsp).

  Custom control for font coolors and size in newlisp-edit.lsp

  Now newlisp-editor.lsp stays functional while a lengthy evaluation
  process is running and outputing to the monitor area. In another tab
  files can be edite/saved etc.

  Auxiary newLISP process in newlisp-edit.lsp now starts with home directory as
  current directory

  Trying to start  a second evaluation or trying to restart the newLISP process 
  will make the led blink in yellow for a second and output "busy" in the monitor 
  area. 
 
  Trying to quit newlisp-edit.lsp while an evaluating process is running will 
  leave the newlisp-edit.lsp application unfunctional on the screen until the 
  evaluating process finishes. On MacOS X the Quit option of the top screen menu
  can be used to exit newlisp-edit.lsp in this case but on Win32 the task manager 
  must be used to shut down newlisp-edit.lsp or the other evaluating process.

0.994
  Many fixes for running programs from the editor. There should be no possibility
  now to hang the editor, even if a pending newLISP evaluation cannot be finished,
  the editor should be still functional to edit and save files.

  The yellow led will now stay on when a newLISP evaluation is pending to exit and
  an attempt has been make to start a second process. When the process has finished
  the led goes red. Attempting to start another app will do a restart automatically.

  Running GUI-Server apps from newlisp-edit.lsp seems to be reliable now on MacOX X
  and Windows XP.

  new menu 'File/Save Settings' saves all font, color and current directory when
  loading file. The settimgs file contains many more settings, which can be changed
  to give the editor a complete diferent appearance: 

  - The toolbar can be hidden completely or made floatable.
  - The tabs can be relocated to the bottom, left or right side of the editor.
  - The window size can be set to a desired X,Y width and height.

  When newlisp-edit.lsp starts the first time and does not encounter a config file
  it gets created in the current home directory.

  File and settings saving is announced in the monitor area.

  Note, the directory remembered when open the file dialog is the directory of
  the currently open tab.

  An optional icon can be added to gs:message-dialog when defining the type as "plain".
  In this case a user supplied icon will be shown.

0.995
  newlisp-edit.lsp:

  - Font size did not get saved by 'File/Save Settings'.

  - settings file ion Win32 gets now written to APPDATA/newLISP/newlisp-edit.conf
  where APPDATA is the Win32 environment variable for the applications data
  directory. If APPDATA is not defined USERPOFILE or DOCUMENT_ROOT is assumed
  On all other OS .newlisp-edit.conf is written to the users home directory
  in UNIX like fashion. This may change in the future for the Mac OX X to:
  ~/Libarary/Application Support/newLISP/newlisp-edit.conf

  - The toolbar can now be detached/reattached from the View menu

  - The Tool menu as a 'Save Settings' option.

  - The Help menu has options to access newLISP and GUI-Server docs.

  - When editing the settings file and leaving an error, the next startup
  of newlisp-edit will give an error message box with the error.

  - Ctrl-F (Win32) or meta-F (OS X) reenter the find dialog if not already
  open (this was already in 0.994, but not mentioned).

  - Pressing ESC while in find dialog text field will close the find dialog
  this is consisten with behaviour of other Java-Swing built-in dialogs.
  When in the edit area ctrl-D / meta-D, will still work to dispose of the 
  find-dialog

  - on Mac OS X ctrl-up will select the tab, then keys left or right will
  let select other tabs. This is Java-Swing built-in behaviour and assumed
  to work like this on all platforms.

  New gs:menu-item-check for checked menu items (behaves like a check box)
  
  A new chapter about writing and debugging event handlers was added in  the 
  guiserver.lsp.html documentation.

 0.996
  newlisp-edit.lsp:

  - settings will now remember loaction and size of newlisp-edit.lsp on the screen 

  - Edit/Find marked edit buffer as dirty, which was not correct (icon and red dot)

  - new menu option Edit/Goto Line

  - mew menu option Files/Recent Files remembers a list of recently saved files
  the list is automatically updated each time a file is saved and maintained in
  the file $APPDATA/newlisp-edit-recent on Win32 or in $HOME/.newlisp-edit-recent
  on Mac OS X and Unix

  popup menus now displayed in correct position on scrollable content

  gs:get-bounds was broken, now displayes on-scrren coordinates for top level windows

  new gs:goto-text - positions cursor in text at row columns position

  new gs:load-text, gs:save-text to directlty load/save docs in to/from gs:text-pane
  these should not be used from Win32 because they don't work correctly with
  CR/LF line terminated files when using Edit/Find

  documentation links in the Help menu have been taken out, because browser
  blocks guiserver.jar from exiting on Win32

 0.997
  When using gs:load-text it now correctly filters carriage returns when
  loading files on Win32 or any other platforms. gs:save-text will always
  write LF line terminations. If this is not desirable, gs:get-text should
  be used instead.

  ESC in find dialog also works when cursor in replace text field. ESC will close
  the dialog without initiaiting search action, as it did wrongly before.

  demo directory accessible from the Help menu
 
  Many additions and corrections to the documentaion. 

0.998
  new gs:set-syntax-selected for enabling newLISP syntax highlighting in gs:text-pane

  new gs:set-caret-color for setting a caret color in in all text widgets

  new gs:set-selection-color for setting a text selection color

  new gs:set-syntax-colors for setting syntax colors for keywords, comments etc.

  new gs:key-event to register key events for any component (except text widgets,
  which already register keyevents by default)

  syntax highlighting in newlisp-edit.lsp:
  - 3 preconfigured themes to choose from for medium, low and high contrast
  - alt-Y (Win32) or meta-Y (Mac OS X) toggle syntax highlighting on/off
  - by default all files ending in .lsp are highlighted

0.999
  newlisp-edit.lsp:

  - any number of syntax profiles can now be configured in the settings file and
  loaded automatically into the View menu on startup.

  - for the Tool menu scripts can be registered using the settings file. The
  scripts are run over the content of the current edit tab. The contents of the
  current edit tab is saved to a tmporary file, and the name of this file is passed
  as an argument to the script. The output of the script is shown in the monitor
  area.

  - added tabulator size (in points) to settings file

  - syntax on/off is remembered when switching tabs

  - Edit/Get Position tells line and column positin of text cursor

  - undo/redo was broken when in syntax highlighting mode. Undo/redo is now reset
  whenever switching syntax highligthing on/off. Loading a file is not part of an
  undoable operation anymore.

  - eliminated foreground/background color options which are set as part of
  the color theme. When syntax highlighting is tirned off, foreground and background
  are still defined by the colors of the current theme.

  - non-existing files in the recent files list are eliminated automatically

  - now remembers correctly screen positions in settings file on all platforms

  - eliminated black flash before splash screen display

  - startup on Win32 w/o run.exe now shows hour glass cursor

  - Clear Monitor disable/enable was faulty

  - now highlights search text when returning to find/replace dialog

  - message box when saving failed, e.g. becuase of wromg permissions

  gs:set-cursor now works correctly in text widgets.
 
  gs:get-bonds now works correctly for on-screen widgets

1.0 feature complete for release August 15th

  fixed unreliable gs:layout
  
  fixed occasional text blur in monitor area of newlisp-edit.lsp

  new gs:get-selected-text, works like gs:get-text but retrieves selected text only

  added C, C++, Java and PHP syntax highlighting, automatically selected for .c, .cpp, .h,
  .java and .php files. When a file does not have a known extension when loading, then no 
  syntax highlighing is selected. But when switching highlighting on via View/Syntax 
  or meta-Y (OS X) or alt-Y (Win32), a menu pops up for selecting a highlighting mode.

  some small fixes for newLISP syntax highlighting

  now 2 types of scripts in Tool menu and registered in currentScripts in settings file:

  - Type "content" takes the contens of the edutor and passes it as a file to the script.
    Anything printed in the script goes to the monitor area in the editor. See the
    program word-count.lsp for an example

  - Type "selection" takes the selection of the editor and passes it as a file to the
    script. Anyting printed from thr script replaces the selectin. If nothing
    was selected the output og the script gets inserted at the text caret.

  The selection replace/insert type of script operation can be undone using Edit/Undo.
  In the settings file: the menu string, the script path name, the type and an
  optional shortcut key are specified. See the settings file for an example.

  The settings file gets automatically created when not present on startup
  and registers the two scripts word-count.lsp and uppercase.lsp. The settings file
  can be edited using the option in the Tools menu. 

  before installing this version remove old settingfile on Win32:
  $HOME/Application Data/newLISP/newlisp-edit.conf or on Mac OS X and Unix: 
  ~/.newlisp-edit.conf

1.01 August 15th release
 
  In newlis-edit.lsp: changed key assignments for fonts smaller/bigger:
	meta-minus and shift-meta-equals on Mac OS X and ctrl-minus ctrl-equals on Win32.
  For Mac OS X this is standard, for Win32 it mimics FireFox behaviour.

  The items in gs:list-box and gs:combo-box can be either given individually
  or in a list: (gs:list-box 'TheListBox 'list-action '("a" "b" "c))

  New gs:play-sound plays/streams .wav and .aif sound files.


1.03
  The monitor area now works also as a newLISP shell, where expressions can
  be typed in directly and evaluated. The red/green led is not necessary
  anymore. The shell can be restarted at any time, even if a process is running.
  The run button will only work if the shell is present. If the shell is exited
  by a program, hit the restart button to restart. When restarting the shell
  while a program in it is running, the program will quit and the shell restart.

  When the monitor/shell area has focus:
    Ctrl-l clears monitor and gives shell prompt (like Meta-m/Alt-m)
    Ctrl-p copies previous command
  Other common readline/editing commands usual in UNIX shells may be implemented
  in the future.

  On Win32 Ctrl-l used to be "goto line" now: Alt-l
  On Win32 Ctrl-Shift-l used to "show current line/column" now: shift-Alt-l

  newLISP-edit can be exited at any time, if a process is still running in the
  shell window it keeps on running after newLISP-edit closed.

  New gs:run-shell installs a shell process in the monitor area
  New gs:eval-shell send a string for evaluation in the shell
  New gs:destroy-shell destroys the shell

  Note that newlis-edit.lsp uses newISP as a shell process, but other shells
  can be started using gs:run-shell.

  New gs:reorder-tags reorders the stacking order of tagged images.
  See the file drag-demo.lsp for usage (comment in gs:reorder-tags statement
  in line 47)

1.04
  Monitor background and foreground colors are now configuable in settings file
  do a File/Save Settings first to have the new config variables registered, then
  Tools/Edit Settings for editing: currentMonitorBackground and currentMonitorForeground.

  Fix when evaluating in shell area after Ctrl-L, Meta-M (Alt-M).

  Eliminated some quirks when copying/pasting between editor and monitor/shell area, and
  when hitting enter in the middle of an edited command.

  Now full commandline history in shell-commandline when using arrow-up/down.

  meta-1, meta-2 (alt-1, alt-2 on Win32) for switching between editor and shell/monitor.

  More bash-shell like key bindings on UNIX: Ctrl-A beginnining of line after the
  shell prompt , Ctrl-E end of line (in gs:text-area with shell attached).

  new gs:color-tag colors all shapes with the same tag

1.05
  gs:get-text now can be called without an action handler to return the text
  immedeately. This new synchronous mnode of gs:get-text is not recommended when
  receiving larger text areas, as the call is blocking until all text is returned,
  but makes coding simple data forms a lot shorter.

  gs:mouse-move now can take an additional boolean parameter to indicate that
  a list of tags are to be returned in the mouse-move event handler. The flag
  should not be used when large amount of tags are present as it can slow down
  performance significantly calculating and transmitting tag lists on every
  mouse movement.

  gs:key-event now also can be registered as a second key listener on text widgets.
  This is espacially interesting on gs:text-field, where individual key action
  could not be captured before, as the normal handler registered with gs:text-area
  only handles the ENTER and ESC key.

  fix in gs:run-shell for shells without prompts

  now uses patform independent: 
    (load (append (env "NEWLISPDIR") "/guiserver.lsp"))
  in all demo files to load guiserver.lsp

1.06
  edit buffer did not get marked as dirty when cutting/pasting into clean buffer

  when file-recent-loading->saving->file-recent-reloading the same file editor crashed

  make sure shell proccesses in monitor window are destroyed when closing newlisp-edit

  because of new 'process' in newlisp core full java path is needed in process statement
  in gs:init function. Assumes /usr/bin/java

1.07
  Tcp/Ip connection between Guiserver and newLISP now goes via 127.0.0.1, not localhost
  to avoid loss of connection when computer sleeps, while an GS application was
  running.

  when runniung editor contents and shell is dow, the shell will be restarted 
  automatically

  the editor now  loads, saves and displays UTF-8 correctly

1.08
  Guiserver now adjusts automatically to set UTF-8 on/off depending on newLISP version

  The Win32 is again shipped as not UTF-8 by default.

  new gs:window-moved and gs:window-resized. See new demo file move-resize-demo.lsp

1.09
  reverse "meta N" and "shift meta N" on OS X to be standard with "meta N" new window/tab
  on OS X

  gs:mouse-event now can also be used on list boxes made with gs:list-box, this makes
  it possible to process single clicks.

1.10
  the gs:list-box event now responds on any click-count, previously only on 2 for
  double click. Addtionally the click-count is transmitted in the event as the last
  parameter

1.11
  replace all can now be redone, double undo not required any more for replace

  new gs:undo-enable undo is currently disabled in newlisp-edit for find/replace 
  because of instabilities

1.12
  newlisp-edit "Undo Previous" button in find dialog, this is used to undo replacements.
  Replacements cannot be undone with normal undo when the find dialog is closed again,
  but can only be undone from inside the find dialog

1.12-13-14
  in guiserver.lsp now checking JAVA_HOME when not Win32 or OS X

1.15
  fixed highlighing for 'pop-assoc'

1.16
  highlighting for regex-comp, spawn, sync and abort

  a bug fix for newlisp-edit.lsp 1.12 for an editor crash caused by index overrun
  in switch-to-tab function

  newlisp-edit.lsp will quit right away when buffers are clean without showing
  "You really ..." dialog

  fixed  gs:text-area area hangup when deleting backwards beyond beginning o line 
  and hitting enter

1.17
  UTF-8 gs:set-text for gs:text-pane, gs:text-area and gs:text-field.

1.18
  UTF-8 text now working on all widgets and setter/getter functions. UTF-8 is
  enabled by default on the Mac OS X installer but not on Win32 which uses 
  ISO 8859 code pages to display some eastern European and Middle Eastern fonts.
  Running an UTF-8 enabled version with newLISP-GS on Win32 will automatically
  switch newLISP-GS to UTF-8.

  new gs:midi-init, gs:midi-close, gs:midi-patch, gs:play-note, gs:play-sequence
  gs:add-track and gs:mute-track for controlling an internal MIDI device. 
  On Win32 a soundbank must be installed, see the description for gs:play-note 
  for more details, where to get and how to install a soundbank file.

1.19 
  Non-default directory install on Win32 now works. Windows must be rebooted
  when not accepting the default directory, so the different path set in
  the environment variable NEWLISPDIR can come into effect.

  New gs:save-sequence saves sequences created using gs:add-track to a MIDI
  file. 

  gs:midi-init now can take a file path to an external soundbank file.

  gs:channel-bend can be used to tune a channel up or down by a halftone

1.20
  fixed check option in gs:menu-item-check 

1.21
  gs:channel-bend did not remember channel specific setting when using on more
  than one channel

  reworked handling of bpm and resolution (gs:midi-bpm). Now recording with
  gs:save-sequence will work for any BPM settings correctly

  notes in gs:play-note and gs:add-track now can have an optional last parameter
  for a note specific pitch-pend
 
1.22
  when history line in cursor-up keystroke in minitor area contains more than
  one line only the last line will enter history
  
  gs:set-canvas did not change current canvas for guiserver.lsp
  
1.23
  fixed a long standing bug when copying pasting inside the monitor area
  
1.24
  some code cleanup in TextAreaWidget.java
  
  Ctrl-A and HOME in monitor area now go to beginning of line _after_ the prompt
  Ctrl-P goes up in history, Ctrl-N goes down in history (like cursor UP, DOWN)
  Most Emacs (or Bash shell) commandline editing key strokes now work in the 
  monitor area

1.25 changes for 9.9.2

1.26 guiserver
  don't repeat last color change on keystroke but display normal color

1.27
  added $it, bits, estack and read-utf8 to syntax highlighting

1.28
  [cmd][/cmd] tags can now be used in the monitor area

  added transfer-event to syntax highlighter

1.30 a fix in the syntax highlighter for newLISP mode 
  in newlisp-edit.sp font can now shanged in both, the editor and the monitor

1.31 syntax highlighting for new functions

1.32 the function gs:color-tag was documented but not implemented
     in newlisp-edit.lsp dirty-buffer indication did not work with Ctrl-x/v/z/Z
     and Cmd-x/v/z/Z
