GFax is a front end fax program that performs the familiar pop-up fax
manager when one prints to a fax printer. GFax works with all X
programs that use lpr as the printer interface, even the command
line.
NEWS April 29, 1999
----------------------
Release 0.2.0
-------------
OK there are a few new features and some bug fixes since 0.1.1.
NEW FEATURES
Email notify.
You can now set your email address for receiving status of
sent facsimilies. This will become more useful when network
faxing is complete.
Default phone prefix.
A default prefix can be set for your outgoing phone line.
Many people have to dial 9 to get an outside line, you can
set it here. Of course you can always include the prefix
in you phone book entry but it's ugly at best.
Another use may be "*70" which in my phone exchange will
disable call waiting for one phone call.
Fax File.
There is now a button that will allow you to choose a file
from disk and then fax it. I use this quite often by
preparing a page in WordPerfect, printing to file and then
sending with Gfax whenever I want.
Gnome Help System.
A Gnome compliant help system is now integrated and can be
reached through the help menu.
Delayed Faxing.
The code to delay the sending of facsimilies is now working.
I haven't tried this with Mgetty+Sendfax but it does show
correctly in test mode. Hylafax works fine.
BUGS FIXED
- Cleaned up the test mode if no filename.
- Removed lots of strcpy's, replaced with g_strdup.
- Fixed test mode so it won't delete the test file.
- Fixed segmentation fault on file open test.
- Fixed segmentation fault if no filename.
Linux glibc, i386 rpm and source available at the link below in the
software section.
