WHAT'S NEW:

What is new in kmenu-0.8:

Implemented the help text support for choice functions, added "/?" to the
visible list of valid input when changing a setting, added direct changing
of values by using "12y", also the new syntax "17?" for printing the help
text before changing the option, and the menus are now piped through more
to handle long menus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new history:
kmenu-0.7.4:
Fixed the patch for 1.3.35 and up to include the config.in patch for MIPS
kmenu-0.7.3:
Loading of prevously saved configurations fixed,
Thanks to paul tyers <paul@potsherd.demon.co.uk>.
kmenu-0.7.2:
Fixed the dep_tristate handling which was broken with 0.7.1
and added call to cleanup() at the end to remove all temporary
files.
kmenu-0.7.1:
Fixed alpha support and added use of arch/$ARCH/defconfig
kmenu-0.7:
Fixed dep_tristate bug(did not change some dep_tristate options)
Added support for linux-alpha.
kmenu-0.6:
Applied a patch from Axel Boldt which fixed many typos.
Patch for 1.3.35 and up added. It is a very small because most changes
for menuconfig have been added to the 1.3.35 distribution.
To show the ability to display context sensitive help, a message at
change time of options has been added.
Implemented the choice function for the Alpha, but the Alpha related
stuff is still not complete. define_bool needs bo be reimplemented.
Polished the distribution further.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The kmenu implemented the functionality to prompt the user to enter new
values for "dep_tristate" options when the master option of these was
disabled.

For example it prompts you to modularize or disable the mid and low 
level scsi drivers when you modularize the high level scsi driver.

Note that it shows you only those options which can be changed and it does
hiding/unhiding of these options dynamically when you change an option on
which others depend.


THANKS:

Thanks go to all Linux Helpers, especially Linus, Axel Boldt for his great
support, and Raymond Chen who wrotes the orignal Configure script without
this would never have been written. :-)
