B.3 Version 0.5
===============

The GUI has been rewritten in Tcl/Tk, removing the dependence on the
Ruby/Tk interface library.

The Windows installer now installs a small Ruby subset and the standard
epspdf distribution, but with epspdftk.tcl replaced with a starpack: a
single executable containing 'epspdftk.tcl' and a Tcl/Tk runtime.  See
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/52>.

Epspdf now uses its own subdirectory for both the logfile and the
configuration file.  For Linux/Unix/Mac OS this is '$HOME/.epspdf', for
Windows it is '%APPDATA%\epspdf'.  On all supported platforms, settings
are stored in the file 'config' in this directory.  Under Windows, the
registry is no longer used for this.

A button has been added to view log output.

There is a second new button "Remove temp files", which is normally
checked, causing temporary files to be deleted after each conversion.
Unchecking this button may be useful for troubleshooting.  In previous
versions, temporary files were deleted at the end of the entire epspdftk
session but that has become less practical now that the GUI and epspdf
itself have become two separate programs.

The "Open with..." option for Windows has been dropped for technical
reasons.

The "-version" option now prints the version string instead of setting
the desired pdf version.

The "-info" option now also prints the number of pages for pdf files.
