1.2.6 Wed Sep  8 09:11:26 EDT 1999
  Ambrogio Oliva <Ambrogio.Oliva@sanofi-synthelabo.fr> has provided
	an it.po file, giving us a new translation - Italian.  I made some
	changes to the build process, adding in tests for each of the
	languages into Makefile.am (though you need to have to have installed
	before the tests work -- I don't know how to get gettext to look
	in the po directory instead of the installed lang directory), and
	a 'make distrib' to build a source distribution.

1.2.5 Thu Jul 29 11:02:48 EDT 1999
  Thanks to Koen Kooi <koen_kooi@hotmail.com> we now have support for
	Dutch.

1.2.4 Fri Jul 16 09:10:13 EDT 1999
  New German changes from Christian Klein <chris@koeln.ccc.de>.
  Christian -- Every time I try to reply to your email, it bounces
  back.  Do I have a valid address for you?

  Frederic Gobry <gobry@idiap.ch> suggested changing asprintf() to
  g_strdup_printf() to increace portability.

  Martin Willemoes Hansen <mwh@stampede.org> wrote in to say that
  GPeriodic 1.2.0 will now be part of the Stampede distribution.
    http://www.stampede.org

  Added version to Makefile.am, and to the about dialog box...

1.2.3 Thu Jul 15 13:54:39 EDT 1999
  Sven Neumann <neumanns@uni-duesseldorf.de> has provided a full
  translation for German.  This effects only the de.po file.

1.2.1 Tue Jul 13 12:04:36 EDT 1999
  Added color values to the table_entry structure, and the related
  code to set the colors of the buttons -- also added the rbg data to
  the table_data.c file.

1.2.0 Mon Jul 12 11:53:32 EDT 1999
  Integrated changes from Arno Peters <A.W.Peters@ieee.org> - includes
  use of automake.  Changed sources to remove all the c++ constructs, 
  making gperiodic pure c.  Integragted gettext to add (proper) support for 
  internationalization.  Removed the command line switches...which are no
  longer needed as gettext should detect the locale and display the 
  proper language based on it.
 
1.1.1 Fri Jul  2 13:40:08 EDT 1999
  Created initial manpage.

  Added checks to the configure script for perl, and gtk+ version 1.2.1
  1.2.1 may not be necessary, but it's the version I used for development,
  so that's all I have to go on.

  Cleaned up the src/Makefile -- it now uses a pattern rule to produce
  the static table data.  This included updating the create_table.pl script 
  to detect the language string (en/fr/etc) from the file name.

  Updated the top level makefile so it can do an install -- it only
  installs to /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man for now.

1.1.0 Wed Jun 30 16:45:30 EDT 1999
  Wow!  This thing is getting translated fast.
  Lalo Martins <lalo@webcom.com> - just sent me a portuguese translation
  for the strings table.  This give the menus and messages a translation,
  but not the element table data -- that is supposed to be comming.

  This brings the software to this state concerning translation:
    Language    Strings        Table
     English     Yes            Yes
     French      Yes            Yes
     Spanish     Yes            Yes
     German      No             Yes
     Portuguese  Yes            No

1.0.7 Wed Jun 30 09:57:42 EDT 1999
  Changes from Georges Khaznadar <khazuada@univ-littoral.fr>,
  that include a translation of the format sting for the tooltips
  (abbriviations were in english, now they can be translated),
  and French language corrections.

  German is now on the list of supported languages -- this translation
  is so far only for the table data, I'm trying to contact the person
  who sent me the translation, but the mail keeps bouncing back.
  If anyone knows this person, or can give me more information, I'd 
  appriciate it:  Christian Klein <chris@koeln.ccc.de>

1.0.6 Tue Jun 29 13:43:05 EDT 1999
  Mauricio Rivera <rmrivera@hotmail.com> -- provided a translation
    to Spanish.  Use -l es to have GPeriodic appear in Spansih.

1.0.5 Thu Jun 24 13:09:52 EDT 1999
  Georges Khaznadar <khazuada@univ-littoral.fr> -- provided translation
    for a French adaptation!  and the code has been added in...

1.0.4 Thu Jun 24 10:09:42 EDT 1999
  Migrated the element datastructure to a C++ object, this should fix
    some of the crashes some people have been experiencing.
  Jean Meloche <jean@stat.ubc.ca> -- pointed out some bugfixes, should be
    fixed by the move to the C++ object.
  Jon Abbott <muaddib@magicnet.net> -- table data fixe(s).
  Andrew Dalke <dalke@bioreason.com> -- provided new data (Pauling 
    negativity numbers)

1.0.3
  Added more information to the table, as provided by:
    jon abbott <muaddib@magicnet.net>

1.0.2 Sat Jun  5 14:02:07 EDT 1999
  Changed the tooltips around a little bit, and enabled the -t 
  command line option to read directly from the text file instead
  of the internal table...so you can choose either at runtime.

1.0.1 Fri Jun  4 10:19:26 EDT 1999
  I was contacted by Andrew Dalke <dalke@bioreason.com> shortly after
    posting GPeriodic to the internet, and he graciously pointed out 
    an extensive list of inconsistiencies in the data I was using for 
    the table.  I've made these changes to the table, so it should
    be quite a bit more up to date.

  I also made the attempt at using autoconf, though I don't think I'm
    using it as well as I could be...
