Internal Changes
The following internal changes have an impact on application developers:
- Most symbols which did not need to be made public are now made private or are renamed with "Xi" prefixes. This results in less name-space pollution and in a reduced chance of name conflicts with applications.
- Widgets now support shared libraries.
- Widgets now follow the Motif guidelines for writing subclasses using the XmResolvePartOffsets() mechanism. That is, applications using the widgets can be compiled with all CDE or Open Group versions of Motif. Also, subclasses of the EPak widgets themselves can be modified using these guidelines to be equally portable.
