Just got done with a major debugging session on Rich Tamayo's computer! A
_very_ big thanks to him for sending his computer. Hopefully the results of
this will benefit all Windows users as even on my system I noticed a speed
improvement bringing up dialog boxes.

As so many things have changed, I am uploading a near final .37 release and
giving those braver souls a chance to download and try it before I wrap it
up. Then I can get on to other releases I have waiting!

Anyway, if you want to download this new version, you have to do it from
these links below. I won't update the web site links until the "final" .37
is released.

This 2/11/2005 build includes:

Recorded changes to .37 (so far):
+ WINDOWS: Fixed a large number of resource usage leaks that could account for
many strange crashes!!! Even seems to make a speed improvement!

Anyone who is fluent in these languages (and any others) that can help with
translating and/or checking these translations is encouraged to do so! Check
out the ReadMe.Localization.txt for simple instructions on how you can help.
+ Added Magyar (Hungarian) hyphenation rules.

filter, plus fixed ascii filter to not hang if given bad data from character
sets.
+ PNG: Fixed problem loading external PNG pictures at print time.
+ Fixed loading/saving of ILBM pictures with alpha channel, which also fixes
loading/saving of documents with alpha channel pictures.
+ Fixed rendering of wide strokes that overlap each other, outline of text that
overlaps, and as a side benefit the notch that appeared on think stroked
circles.

on fixing up the translations can be found in the Readme.Localizing.txt file
if you are able to help translate PageStream into your favorite language.
+ PostScript printer driver will now try and reencode fonts to fit the needs
of the output text.

previously
