Hi,

The uploads for PageStream5.0.2.4 Linux just completed this morning. As
this is the first 5.0.2 release for Linux, I've left the prior versions
online also and marked this one Beta. It should be much better than the
previous release, but just to be sure...

And yes, I'm still waiting to get my Pegasas up and running again. As soon
as it is up I will pull the latest releases off and upload. Hopefully early
this week!? So at least OS4 version is benefiting as I have nothing I can
do for the other 2 Amiga related releases...

Recorded changes to 5.0.2.4:
+ Fixed new chapter and edit chapter dialog that would sometimes disable
strings at the wrong time and other similar problems.
+ Added protection from scripts that fail to do the proper thing. Mostly for
failing to create a masterpage in a new document. This is a huge ungoing
task
as scripts have so much control but it is a start.
+ Fixed execution of external scripts that have \ in the path.
+ INSERT macro command no longer has an artificial limit on length.
+ LINUX: Toolbar now opens below menu.
+ Added cacheing of modules so that modules are not unloaded and reloaded
during boot up for faster loads.
+ Added Portuguese hyphenation. Still need translation of language basics like
days of the week, months, and numbers. Contact support@grasshopperllc.com
if you can help with that.
+ Added Turkish hyphenation. Still need translation of language basics like
days of the week, months, and numbers. Contact support@grasshopperllc.com
if you can help with that.
+ Improved matching of character set names so that ISO 8859-07 matches
ISO8859-7 etc.
+ Added Slovak hyphenation. Still need translation of language basics like
days of the week, months, and numbers. Contact support@grasshopperllc.com
if you can help with that.
+ Added better GUI names for some characters sets.
+ Added Greek language module and hyphenation.
+ Numerous internal changes to align Linux, Windows and Amiga library sources.
+ WINDOW: Added clipboard support for Windows DIB format. Should be able to
paste
bitmaps from more programs.
+ BME: Added Locale popup in general prefs that lets you choose the
interface language
from those installed. Not all are complete, but most are very useable.

if you are able to help translate BME and PageStream into your favorite
language.
