Is there a concise features list for Motif 2.1?
[Last modified: Aug 97] Answer: The Open Group’s press release for Motif 2.1 is available at: http://www.rdg.opengroup.org/press/5feb97.htm A technical report is also available at: http://www.opengroup.org/tech/deskto…data.sheet.htm The major differences from Motif 2.0 are: 1) The CS text widget from Motif 2.0 is not included. 2) Motif 2.0 word-size independent UID files are no longer supported. Only the Motif 1.2 word-size dependent format is supported. 3) To promote convergence with dtwm, mwm’s panning, virtual screen, and workspace features have been removed 4) Support was added for the X print server, including a new print dialog widget 5) The Motif libraries are now thread-safe (if the underlying libraries and system are also thread-safe) 6) Several internationalization features were added, including an on-the-spot input method and vertical text writing 7) Motif 2.1 is based on X11R6.2 and will work properly with X11R6.
