26 Oct 1998:

New NGLayout strategy:

• Mozilla has switched over to the new layout engine.
  This means all of the "classic" FE's will need to re-write,
  XFE being one of them. This was a painful decision, but we
  unanimously agree this is the right thing to do for the long run.
• Brendan's roadmap doc outlines the new NGLayout-based strategy.
• Until something else shows up, we'll use this XFE page
  to publish status for the Unix/NGLayout implementation.
What's new for the NGLayout/Unix implementation:

• Moving from Motif to GTK:
• Better support from the net, that's YOU
• Better rendering, font support, color management, etc.
• GTK is in the public domain
• Motif implementation can still coexist,
  but we're pushing for a unified GTK effort
• Moving to autoconf
• We just got the Linux version of the webshell/tests/viewer app working.
