    * Provide a Makefile, so xmkmf/imake is no longer needed

  - Spec cleanup: SPDX license, drop Group/BuildRoot/%clean
* Fri Feb 23 2024 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>

* Mon Aug 09 2004 mmj@suse.de
  - Update to 1.2 including:
    o replaced default font by "*" to "ensure" some font is found.
    o accept hexadecimal window ids, as does everybody else(?).
    o made it compile with ansi-89-based compilers again.
    o add hack to support nautilus (not very stable, nautilus should
      either use extended window manager hints or __SWM_VROOT, as everybody
      else does).
    o do not initialize the window twice (fixes problems with multiple
      visuals).
    o new option: -minspace.
    o fixed seg fault if geometry is too short to fit a single line
    o fix bug which became apparent if -no-filename or null
* Mon May 31 2004 mmj@suse.de
  - Add patch to make shading customizable
* Tue Apr 13 2004 mfabian@suse.de
  - don't use just "fixed" as the default fontset, specify a proper
    fontset by default (keeping the size and style of "fixed").
* Tue Apr 13 2004 mmj@suse.de
  - Update to 1.1 with lots of improvements
* Wed Feb 25 2004 mmj@suse.de
  - Update to 0.9:
    o unsigned/fseek bug
    o (root_window): New function. Return the real
      root window, or the virtual one if any.
      (InitWindow): Use it.
    force_refresh): Clear the root-tail area, not the whole window.
    (blank_window): Ditto.
      (main_loop): Don't forget to redraw () the initial contents.
  - Fix type-punning
