------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in Version SLgtk 0.5.17:
1. VWhere 1.3.4:
. Assign a name to eval() namespace if it's unnamed, to help
mininize mangling of struct field names (e.g. time --> __time)
. Discontinue propagating existing vectors to new namespaces &
warn that only experts should attempting changing namespaces

2. First release bundled with SLIRP 1.9 release series (1.9.1 required)
3. Use of SLIRP bundled with SLgtk is now optional; the --with-slirp
configure switch may be used to specify an alternative
4. slgtk-demo warns when widgets are not NULLed by gtk_widget_destroy()
5. Version information changes:
. _slgtk_version, _slgtk_version_string renamed to _gtk_module_version
and _gtk_module_version_string
. Eliminated redundant _slgtk_[major|minor|micro]_version variables
6. Altered how binary distribution configure script ascertains the slang
version from slsh (for S-Lang 2.0.7 compatibility).

Changes in SLIRP v1.9.1
1. Internal mods to vectorization code in support of OpenMP
parallelization; will be activated in next release.
2. Fixed problem in Makefiles generated from: slirp -make ... /dev/null
3. Fixed edge case where zero-element array could potentially cause
vectorization code to generate an exception or loop forever.
