This is the third general release of a "faces" server for monitoring a
|
|
list visually. Typically this is a list of incoming mail messages, jobs
|
|
in the print queue or users on a system.
|
|
|
|
Included with this release, is the ability to include a face image with
|
|
your mail message using an X-Face header line (plus continuation lines).
|
|
Faces expects this line to be in a certain compressed format, and
|
|
uncompresses it, and displays that image on-the-fly. There is also an
|
|
option to automatically update the faces database with this new image.
|
|
|
|
Audio capabilities are also provided as a conditional compilation option.
|
|
|
|
By default, after every sixty seconds, faces will recheck the mail file or
|
|
the print queue. If the mail spool file has changed size, it will produce a
|
|
chain of records for which it has face icons.
|
|
|
|
This release contains graphical interfaces for NeWS, SunView, X11 and XView.
|
|
|
|
Faces is based on the AT&T v8 face server called vismon, but is not derived
|
|
from vismon sources. With the previous version came vismon compatibility.
|
|
Note that that resulted in a few changes from the way faces v1.1 worked.
