The enhancements are: 1. It offers a way to perform the various clicks without using any hardware button. (hover click) 2. It allows users to perform a secondary click by keeping the primary mousebutton pressed for a determined amount of time. (simulated secondary click) 3. For desktops using the gnome-panel, it provides two panel applets that the user can install on the gnome-panels. - The first applet provides an alternative way to control the hover click. - The second applet creates an area on the panel into which the pointer can be captured until the user releases it with a predefined button and modifier combination. The hover click and the simulated secondary click can be accessed through the Universal Access control panel in the GNOME Control Center. The applets however can only be accessed on the gnome-panel. ============================= What is new in this release ? ============================= New and updated translations: [as] Amitakhya Phukan [bg] Krasimir Chonov [da] Ask Hjorth Larsen [de] Mario Blättermann [eu] Inaki Larranaga Murgoitio [id] Dirgita, Andika Triwidada [it] Luca Ferretti [ja] Takayuki KUSANO [nb] Kjartan Maraas [nl] Wouter Bolsterlee [pt_BR] André Gondim [ru] Yuri Myasoedov [sk] Roman Mátyus [sr] Ãœøûþш ßþÿþòøћ [sr ( -at -) latin] Ãœøûþш ßþÿþòøћ [ta] Dr. T.

Thus, we have changed the default of mousetweaks to not build the applets for the gnome-panel. However, if your distribution is still shipping the gnome-panel, it is recommanded to enable the building of the applets when packaging mousetweaks for the distribution. There are two new configuration switches for that: --enable-dwell-click --enable-pointer-capture By doing so, people using a desktop with the gnome-panel will be able to install the applets as usual on the panel. Moreover, for people using a desktop without gnome-panel, there should be no other drawback than the little space used by the applets on their harddisk. Many thanks to all contributors.
