Much work has been put into polishing Hylafax and Efax support.
The following is a list of new or changed items.  If you have tried Gfax
in the past and have been disappointed we recommend you checkout the
0.7.6 version.  We think you will be pleased.  There is still work to be
done but we have a great group of people providing feedback, which
really helps.
  

EFAX CHANGES:
=============
 -When sending a fax with Efax, the main status window will display the
  progress and the progressbar will pulse while the fax is being
  transmitted.
 -The appbar will display the "Sending fax..." state.
 -There is no longer a gfax.proc file, the GUI is updated directly from
  the efaxd thread.
 -The queue scanning is now 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds for dealing
  with faxes sent via Efax.

HYLAFAX CHANGES:
================
 -Much of the network traffic is now asynchronous, which means Gfax

  in the next version.
