Boxes in the press: Shashank Sharma wrote an article on boxes for Linux.com. Here’s the direct link to the article.

I finally put some new box designs submitted by users of boxes up on the download page. Also, there is a new patch by Elmar Loos, who added a “repair” option -m to boxes. Using -m, you can remove a damaged box and redraw it in one go. And last but not least, Jason Shiffer updated his emacs mode for boxes.

Boxes in the press: Andreas Kneib’s article was translated into English and now appears in issue 38 (January 2004) of Linux Magazine! Here’s the direct link to the article.

Boxes has moved to a new home: http://boxes.thomasjensen.com/. This will help keep boxes available to you for years to come!

Jason L. Shiffer has just updated his Emacs mode for boxes to automatically adapt to new box styles.

Edward Roper says that the -traditional flag should be removed from the regexp Makefile to compile on Red Hat Linux 7.0. This minor compilation issue was reported by other Linux people as well. You must do this manually until the next release.

Version 1.0.1 is out. Version 1.0.1 is essentially identical to the 08-Nov-1999 snapshot, with the addition of the Win32 port by Ron Aaron. Get it from the download page.

The much requested Win32 Port has been made available on the download page (at the bottom of the “Binary Distributions” section)!

Jason L. Shiffer wrote an Emacs mode for boxes. So all of you who’ve been waiting for information on boxes integration with Emacs, please see the installation page.
