XView (X Window-System-based Visual/Integrated Environment for Workstations) is a user-interface toolkit to support interactive, graphics-based applications running under the X Window System. XView provides a set of pre-built, user-interface objects such as canvases, scrollbars, menus, and control panels. The appearance and functionality of these objects follow the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface (GUI) specification. XView features an object-oriented style Application Programmer's Interface (API) that is straightforward and easy to learn.

Release Notes: This release has a patch for _WM_TRANSIENT. It adds an .el5 dependency for xorg-x11-fonts-misc (olcursor font).


Release Notes: This version contains the initial attempt at scroll wheel support for libxview. The Canvas, scrollbar, and txtsw packages now support that feature.
