Nothing to report.

SaVi 1.2.7a

1.2.7a makes the configure script specific to the 1.2.7 release, replacing savi-dev/ with savi1.2.7/ throughout.

SaVi 1.2.6a

Makefile_defs naming error, as below, in 1.2.6 is corrected in 1.2.6a.

SaVi 1.2.5a

Makefile_defs naming error, as below, in 1.2.5 is corrected in 1.2.5a.

SaVi 1.2.4a

Makefile_defs naming error, as below, in 1.2.4 is corrected in 1.2.4a.

SaVi 1.2.3a

In SaVi 1.2.3 src/Makefile_defs should be renamed src/Makefile_defs. with the trailing period. This permits make (where no architecture is specified) and make clean to work completely as expected without complaints. This problem occurred due to packaging on Cygwin, where the two filenames are treated as the name without the period by the Windows file system.
mv src/Makefile_defs src/Makefile_defs.
This is corrected in 1.2.3a.

SaVi 1.2.2b

The 1.2.2b release corrects errors in the RELEASE-NOTE that may mislead. No other changes from 1.2.2a.
The 1.2.2a release replaces use of a Tcl 8.4-only command to enable SaVi to work with older versions of Tcl, and also removes unnecessary CVS/ subdirectories from the 1.2.2 release.

SaVi 1.2.1a

Note that SaVi 1.2.1 builds with debug enabled, and files are group writable, matching the development tree. 1.2.1a fixes these.

SaVi 1.2

In the 1.2 release, data/clarke.tcl is missing its satellites GV_BEGIN line. This results in a slowdown when other constellations are later loaded, as each satellite is then drawn onscreen in Geomview as it is created. The line is easily added, and this change and other improvements have been made in later releases and in development code.
