-  Notes:
-
-    For translation status list, see further below.
-
-    Version in parentheses indicates first appearance of feature or change.
-
-
-   	
-    Below are GQView releases:
-    (2.1.5) Add support for color profiles when lcms is installed. To
-    disable color profiles and use of lcms, run configure
-    with '--without-lcms'.
-
-    (2.1.1) Add support for viewing jpeg images and EXIF embedded within
-    raw files for Canon (.crw, .cr2) Fujifilm (.raf), and Nikon (.nef).
-    Note that not all cameras that support a raw format will necessarily
-    save a usable jpeg in the raw file (for example some Nikon cameras only
-    store a tiny thumbnail within the raw .nef file).
-
-    (1.5.6) The "shared thumbnail cache" is a proposal to unify the method
-    of storing thumbnails, so that they are compatible between different
-    applications. Using this option will allow GQview to share it's
-    thumbnails with, and use thumbnails from, other applications. Current
-    releases of GNOME (through nautilus and gthumb) and the gimp use this
-    new thumbnailing system. The latest draft of the thumbnail standard
-    is located on freedesktop.org in the standards section, and links to:
-
-      http://triq.net/~jens/thumbnail-spec/index.html
-
-    The shared thumbnail standard and GQview's classic mechanism can
-    not be used at the same time, enabling the "use shared thumbnail cache"
-    option will disable the use of classic thumbnails and use the new
-    shared thumbnails.
-
-    (1.5.6) Collections contained in $HOME/.gqview/collections are now
-    updated when moving or renaming files, even if the collection is not
-    open at the time.
-
-    (1.5.6) The new option to the keep the full screen window above other
-    windows is only available when using at least GTK+ 2.4.0
-
-    (1.5.5) Dialog buttons are now ordered as recommended by the GNOME HIG.
-    The GNOME Human Interface Guidelines live at:
-       http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/
-    To restore the old button order you must be using GTK 2.6 and set
-    the "gtk-alternative-button-order" key to TRUE in the gtkrc file:
-       $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
-    by changing or adding this line:
-       gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
-
-    (1.5.5) The dithering option is now a hidden option, to change it
-    please refer to section 10.7 of the manual (help -> contents).
-
-    (1.5.0) Keywords and comments can now be entered for a file. Two places
-    allow keyword and comment entry. The first is via the new image details
-    sidebar accessed with (Ctrl-K), and the second is a details tab in the
-    properties dialog. If multiple files are selected, two buttons are
-    available: One allows adding the keywords to the selected files, the
-    other replaces existing keywords with the new keywords.
-
-    Keyword and comment metadata is stored in $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata, and
-    mirrors the existing filesystem tree. Metadata filenames have a suffix
-    of .meta appended. If 'cache into .thumbnails' is enabled, metadata is
-    stored locally to the original file in a hidden subfolder ".metadata".
-    If write permissions do not allow local saving of metadata, GQview falls
-    back to the default $(HOME)/.gqview/metadata location.
-
-    (1.5.0) Search dialog (F3 key) types:
-       Path       searches files in the entered folder.
-       Comments   searches all file metadata stored in ~/.gqview/metadata.
-       Results    searches the current list of results, allowing refinement.
-
-    (1.3.6) Drag and drop has been significantly improved, with a few
-    changes. Button 1 will now initiate a drag, button 2 will still work
-    for this, the difference is button 2 will not change the selection.
-
-    (1.3.6) A middle button click will now toggle selection of clicked item.
-
-    (1.3.5) UTF-8 and filenames: GQview works fine if your filenames
-    correctly match the preferred locale encoding (LANG environment
-    variable), and prints errors on the console when they do not.
-
-    (1.3.3) Safe delete does not include undo, you will need to go to the
-    trash folder and retrieve the file(s) manually. The files can be viewed
-    by clicking the view button near the safe delete option in the preferences
-    window. Files moved to the trash folder are prefixed with a 6 digit
-    number. Lower numbers are older, and deleted (permanently) first when the
-    trash size limit is reached.
-
-    (1.3.2) New in 1.3.2 are sidebars for EXIF data display and a sort
-    manager. EXIF (ctrl + E) should be self explanatory. The Sort manager is a
-    directory list that allows copying or moving the displayed image to that
-    destination with one click of the button - very helpful when visually
-    sorting many images into subdirectories. To edit, reorder, or remove items
-    in the sort list, use the right click menu. The keyboard can also be used
-    by moving the focus to the desired button, then pressing menu/ctrl+f10 key
-    to display the popup menu, or shift+up/shift+down keys to change the
-    button location in the list. Items can also be added to the list by
-    dragging a directory onto the list.
 
   Code hackers:
 
     If you plan on making any major changes to the code that will be offered
     for inclusion to the main source, please contact us first - so that we
-    can avoid duplication of effort. A good example is porting any part of
-    GQview that uses deprecated widgets to GTK2 widgets, there are already
-    several such patches floating around. This is especially true if the
-    change is listed in the TODO!
+    can avoid duplication of effort.

-!!! FIXME !!!
-    - To build an RPM binary:
-
-         on RedHat 6.x, 7.x use 'rpm -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'.
-         on RedHat 8 and 9 use 'rpmbuild -tb gqview-x.x.x.tar.gz'.
-         on other rpm distros, it depends on which version of rpm is used, if
-         the option fails with the rpm command, try rpmbuild.
-
-      Where the resulting package is placed is distribution specific, for
-      example in RedHat it is placed in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/{architecture}/

-    becomes 'hidden' when it is removed from the user's visibility, and

-    about it's removal :)

-  lazy_image_sync: false

-    directories. (viewed image will remain until a new file is selected)
-
-  display_dialogs_under_mouse: false
-    Set true to force dialogs to display under the current mouse position,
-    note that this goes against the preference set for the window manager.
