* What is new in this version:

	- Many bug fixes reported with version 0.99.2	

	- Removed dead or unused code.

	- Many portability fixes have been installed, should compile
	  out of the box on IRIX, Solaris and HP-UX now.

	- Nat Friedman and George Lebl spent a couple of days
	  standarizing the menus of the GNOME applications.  

In the libraries:

	- Speed ups, API exportation to speed up file manager
	  bootstrap on NFS $HOMEs.

	- Gnome Name Server uses one meg less of memory.

	- Various memory leak fixes, various memory saving fixes.

	- More API entry points documented.  

	- Updated the GNOME suggestions document for writing
	  consistent GNOME applications (Nat and George did a great
	  work). 

	- Reduced memory saving by not loading music samples (only
	  applies if you compile GNOME with sound support).

	- Updated the session management code (gnome_client_get_flags)

In gnome-core:

	- Dead applets: Old battery monitor; bussign. 
	
	- GNOME terminal allows for setting the title from the command
	  line. Saves the session in character instead of pixels.

	- Panel: Many bug fixes, many memory leaks fixes.

In the file manager:

	- Improved startup time:

		- Metadata locking is now donw in a block of
	          operations (this needs the new gnome-libs 0.99.3).

		- Tree cache.  The contents of the tree are now
		  cached.

Miguel.
