Sure but you know that you won't get a really great audience with prereleases
(and the more prereleases we'll make fewer people will try them ;) and there
is always the posibility of not discovering a stupid trivial bug which a user
just discovers on his first load of a file.
BTW.: As much as I've heard Jean-Marc couldn't convert 2 of our documents, so
this should be a priority to fix first. What documents where that?

Sure they need!

Will do it now.

To tell you the truth I only look at bugs which seem to me fixable with
a minor source change. I don't like to introduce new functions or change
the functions params right now and so I try to estimate the impact of the
change, but obviously one not always knows.
But with this last changes I really took the time to look how all this
scrolling and cursorsetting really works. I also figured out how the redraw
and drawing should work to do it right.
I was here with paper and pen to figure out how the algorithm has to be
so that it works ;) and it was fun to do. Now I have also a deeper
understanding of this things so that later changes are much easier to do :)
