==> COMPLETE LIST OF ACTION ITEMS/PROBLEMS REPORTS ADDRESSED BY
    THIS RELEASE:

* [0154,0147,0205,0785,1289,1430,1697,1698,1699,1702] Added support
  for instrument- specific configuration reports, including
  interactive browsing of configuration information. 
  Documentation for this feature can be found at the URL:
  http://www.eso.org/~uss/ohs/docs/specs/devnotes/ot-instrument-specific.html

* [1640] New "Queues->Refresh" menu item: will perform a re-query 
  of all the queues. This was requested by USG because they have
  scripts to create/update queues.
  This button  is disabled on default and can be enabled by adding 
     OT.REFRESHQUEUE.ENABLED "true"
  to the configuration file site.cf

* [1510] Added "OBD Format" to the Reports menu. It supports multiple
  selection.

* [1647] User comments are now visible in the OB detailed view.

* [1648] Added "Display" button and OB detailed view to the execution
  sequence panel.

* [1642] Renamed button "Queue" to "Append", as in the original Tcl
  OT.

* [1639] New Queue->SaveAs menu item.

* [1545] Rephrased warning message: it now says "OB xxx already
  inserted into the execution sequence" (instead of "into the
  queue"). 

* [1602] All browsers (queue, repository) now display the PI name, not 
  the numerical ID.

* [1600] Reduced width of the field MoonDistance for all browsers.

* [1700] Config file syntax errors (missing closing double quote) are
  mow trapped at startup time.

* [1709] A progress bar and watch cursor are now displayed when
  appending OBs to the execution sequence.

* [1719] OB execution times added to the execution sequence browser.

* Includes preliminary implementation of the MaskTracker already
  delivered with OT 2.3int1.

* [1598] RepositoryBrowser: when browsing with text fields, like OB
  name, partial strings are now supported. So "test" will now match
  "test1", "this is a test OB", "second test" and so on.
  This applies to all text fiels, including ProgID, Templates, etc. 

* [1624] Fixed bug: OT production releases were including a version of
  ot-db.cf pointing to USUPLINUX instead of PROBS.

* [1622,1649] Fixed bug: OT was freezing when fetching from BOB.

* [1580] Fixed bug: 'Revert' and 'Query' buttons were not refreshing
  all grids inthe tool, which become obvious when using more than one
  OT at the same time.

* [1638] Fixed bug: an SQL error was generated when removing many OBs
  (> 250) in one go.

* [1641] Fixed bug: titlebar was not updated when renaming a queue.

* [1597] Fixed bug: RepositoryBrowser: entering a non-numeric value
  in a numeric field, like UserID or QueueID, was causing the tool to
  "freeze".

* [1601] Fixed bug: execution sequence was reordered after fetching an
  OB from BOB.

* [no SPR] Fixed bug: the OT was leaking memory from a few independent 
  locations in the code.

* [1342,1487] The (internal) handling of configuration information was
  completely reviewed. It is now much easier to add configuration file 
  items.

* [1690] Fixed bug: EVM "info" messages were not displayed unless an
  "error" message was generated.

* [1701] Fixed bug: drop-down menu 'QC Grade' now displays the
  correct values.

* Introduced support for configurable message logging (as opposed to
  print statements in the code).

* User-invisible infrastructure changes; GUI improvements.


==> COMPLETE LIST OF ACTION ITEMS/PROBLEMS REPORTS WHICH ARE NOT
SOLVED YET:

* In P2PP or OT one may notice the occational stack trace when
  changing user and/or exiting windows.
  The stack trace appears as follows:
  java.lang.NullPointerException
    at javax.swing.KeyboardManager.unregisterMenuBar(KeyboardManager.java:312)
    at javax.swing.JMenuBar.removeNotify(JMenuBar.java:647)
    at java.awt.Container.removeNotify(Container.java:1260)
    at javax.swing.JComponent.removeNotify(JComponent.java:3186)

  This bug is a Swing bug, which was fixed in Jan 1999, available from
  Java 1.2 onwards. It has no effect on the operation of the P2PP or
  OT applications.
