 2. What's new?
 -------------
 
-Native Look & Feel!!!  We now try really hard to support the 
-Macintosh Look & Feel with Tcl/Tk 8.0.  We aren't finished but
-it look pretty good.  Let me know what are the most "un-mac like"
-problems and I'll fix them as quickly as I can.
-
-The button, checkbutton, radiobutton, and scrollbar widgets actually
-use the Mac toolbox controls.  This means that they will track the
-look&feel if you use extension that change the appearance of
-applications (like Aaron.)  We also use "system" colors so the default
-backgrounds etc. will also change colors.  We plan to support this
-feature - so let me know if something doesn't work quite right.
-Unfortunantly, we are not able to change the colors of buttons under
-MacOS 8.  Doing this is discouraged under Appearance, and we will probably 
-not implement it anytime soon.
-
-We also now support native menus!  By using the new -menu option
-on toplevels you can have a menubar that is cross platform.  You
-can also place Tk menus in the Apple and Help menus!  Check out
-the documentation for more details.  Syd Polk <icepick@eng.sun.com> is
-the author of the new menu code.  Feel free to contact him if you
-have questions or comments about the menu mechanism.
-
-As of Tk 8.0.4, MacTk menus will adopt the backgrounds, shape, separator, etc
-of the current theme. 
-
-The "tk_messageBox" command on the Macintosh is now much more
-mac-like.  I'll probably still need to adjust this more - but it
-looks a hell of alot better than it did before.
-
-I've also added a command that allows you to get more native window
-styles.  However, we have yet to decide on a cross platform solution
-to the problem of varying window styles.  None the less, I thought
-it would be use full to add the capability in an unsupported means
-to tide you over until a better solution is available.  The command
-is called "unsupported1".  It can be used in the following way:
-
-	toplevel .foo; unsupported1 style .foo zoomDocProc
-
-The above command will create a document window with a zoom box.
-Type "unsupported1 style . ???" to get a list of the supported
-styles.  The command works like "wm overrideredirect" - you must
-make the call before the window is mapped.
-
-As always - report the bugs you find - including asthetic ones
-in the look & feel of widgets.
+All the widgets will now display internationalized text!
+
+The widget configuration package has been changed to support the new object
+model introduced with the 8.0 compiler.  For now the old configuration
+package is retained, and in fact, only the menu and button widgets use
+the new package.
