              | 17-March-2002: Alpha 3 Very Soon |  |  
	      
	       | Alpha 3 will be released much later as expected * Today I'll try to get some more time to work on Alpha3.
 I hope to get some docs and more examples ready soon as well.
 You'll also find the ToDo list on the main-Toolbar.
 
 * WebSite changed to fit better in 800x600 screensize
 * The WebSite will also be changed to php this month.
 
 
 1000+ hits on the release-day of Alpha 2b, downloads 110 ...

              | 06-March-2002: Alpha 2B released (temp. version) |  |  
	      
	       | Ålpha 2b out, Alpha 3 next week, sorry for the delay... * Today I release Alpha 2b, which is just a bug-fix version for Alpha2.
 This should compile better at least, and has some minor fixes. 
			 Alpha 3 is now scheduled for 2nd week in March. I'm lacking time at the moment to
			 really put effort in it. But I hope to have some more time in a few days.
 
 500+ hits on the website after 6 hours of releasing Alpha2b, I'm shocked...

              | 19-Feb-2002: More GOOD news |  |  
	      
	       | New Developer, source in CVS, Postgres DB connection... * First of all I want to welcome Frank Bennett as a new developer !!!
 He will focus on getting a Postgres Database connection to GreatCharts.
 * The local source is now available in CVS !!!
 * More "other-links" are added to the website
 * Some more bugs are found that will make it difficult to compile/run, fixes will be in
			 the Alpha 3 release.
 ==> You'll have to get the following TTF file in this path for Alpha2:
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/prest12b.ttf

              | 15-Feb-2002: Good and Bad news... |  |  
	      
	       | Alpha3 Release scheduled for end Feb 2002 * I've made some changes in my local CVS which will help building the package with TTF
			 support. It now uses autoconf, so run: ./configure;make;make install should be enough.
 * Furthermore it now supports the libstocks (v0.5.0 by Eric Laeuffer). This tool can
			 download Stock data (history) from Yahoo's! financial site. Get this great tool at 
			 http://libstocks.sourceforge.net
 * More good news: We are now also listed on Freshmeat.net :-)
			 http://freshmeat.net/projects/greatcharts/
 * The bad news is: the bz2 version of Alpha2 is corrupt. Please get the gz version.
 *More bad news, the statistics counter on Sourceforge does not work. So I have no idea how many
			 downloads we had... :-(
 * I'll be out of Malaysia for the next few days, that's why the alpha3 takes a bit longer

              | 11-Feb-2002: News, Alpha2 Released !!! |  |  
	      
	       | Alpha2 Release Today I released Alpha2 of GreatCharts. After I figured out that Alpha1 did not have a license
			 in the package. For the moment I hope that someone can get this up and running :-)
 In a few days I'll come up with Alpha3, which will probably have more examples, and some docs. 
			 I'll also have a look at the reading of the config-file. If there are errors in there it will just
			 segfault at the moment.

              | 08-Jan-2002: News, early alpha soon |  |  
	      
	       | Alpha Downloadable soon After a lot of request I decided to pack the stuff and come up with a pre-alpha release.
 Things are far from working, but since I did not touch the code for about 2 1/2 months I think
			 it is time to just release it.

              | 04-Nov-2001: New Updated WebSite |  |  
	      
	       | New look website As you can see the layout has changed a bit since I first started. This will probably
			 be the final idea for the website for some time. Enough time is spent to get this
			to a professional-looking site. It's time to get ready for the first release.
