 ## changes in this version
 
+* Core:
+    * The TWBlue website will no longer be available on the twblue.es domain. Beginning in January 2024, TWBlue will live at https://twblue.mcvsoftware.com. Also, we will start releasing versions on [gitHub releases](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/releases) so it will be easier to track specific versions.
+    * As of the first release of TWBlue in 2024, we will officially stop generating 32-bit (X86) compatible binaries due to the increasing difficulty of generating versions compatible with this architecture in modern Python.
+    * TWBlue should be more reliable when checking for updates.
+    * If running from source, automatic updates will not be checked as this works only for distribution. ([#540](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/540))
+    * Fixed the 'report an error' item in the help menu. Now this item redirects to our gitHub issue tracker. ([#524](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/524))
+* Mastodon:
+    * Implemented actions for the notifications buffer on a mastodon instance. Actions can be performed from the contextual menu on every notification, or by using invisible keystrokes. ([#517](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/517))
+    * Implemented update profile dialog. ([#547](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/547))
+    * It is possible to display an user profile from the user menu within the menu bar, or by using the invisible keystroke for user details. ([#555](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/555))
+    * Added possibility to vote in polls. This is mapped to Alt+Win+Shift+V in the invisible keymaps for windows 10/11.
+    * Added posts search. Take into account that Mastodon instances should be configured with full text search enabled. Search for posts only include posts the logged-in user has interacted with. ([#541](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/541))
+    * Added user autocompletion settings in account settings dialog, so it is possible to ask TWBlue to scan mastodon accounts and add people from followers and following buffers. For now, user autocompletion can be used only when composing new posts or replies.
+    * TWBlue should be able to ignore deleted direct messages or messages from deleted accounts. Previously, a direct message that no longer existed in the instance caused errors when loading the direct messages buffer and could potentially affect notifications as well.
+    * TWBlue should be able to ignore notifications from deleted accounts or posts.
+
+## changes in version 2023.4.13
+
+During the development of the current TWBlue version, Twitter has cut out access from their API, meaning TWBlue will no longer be able to communicate with Twitter. This is the end of the support of TWBlue for Twitter sessions. No new sessions will be available for this social network, and we will focus in adding more features to our Mastodon support and writing support for more websites and networks. Thank you everyone who have been using TWBlue to manage your Twitter accounts since 2013.
+
+* TWBlue should be able to display variables within templates (for example, now it is possible to send a template inside a post's text). Before, it was removing $variables so it was difficult to show how to edit templates from the client. ([#515](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/515))
+* Mastodon:
+    * it is possible to add descriptions for all media available on Mastodon (audio, photos, video and Givs). ([#516](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/516))
+    * TWBlue can now perform OCR in attached images.
+    * It is possible to add aliases to mastodon users. Also, the "manage user aliases" setting, located on the application menu within the menu bar can be used to add, edit or remove aliases.
+    * Implemented "Hide emojis on usernames" in both GUI and invisible interface.
+    * Added an experimental feature to recover from connection errors. When making a post, if the post cannot be published due to any kind of error, TWBlue will bring up the dialog where the post was composed, so you can give the post a second chance or save the post's text. This feature should work for threads, posts with attachments, polls and replies. ([#527,](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/527) [#526,](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/526) [#377,](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/377) [#137,](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/137) [#108](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/108))
+    * When playing media items, TWBlue will prefer remote URL streams and fall back to instance cached stream URL'S.
+    * Fixed an error on mentions buffer that was making TWBlue unable to load posts if there were mentions from a blocked or deleted account.
+    * Fixed an error when loading timelines during startup where TWBlue was unable to change the buffer title properly.
+
+## Changes on version 2023.2.8
+
+This release focuses on fixing some important bugs that have been reported in the previous version. Particularly, TWBlue should be able to authorize on some instances that have blocked the Mastodon.py library, and should be able to avoid repeatedly calling some endpoints that cause excessive connections for some instances. Additionally, it is possible to disable Streaming from the account options in Mastodon. This can be especially useful if TWBlue keeps making a lot of API calls for some instances.
+
+* Fixed the update system.
+* Fixed a bug when attempting to switch between different accounts using the invisible interface, if the focused account is not an active session.
+* Mastodon:
+    * Improved the way TWBlue counts characters in Mastodon. Now it counts only the username part in a remote user (@domain is not counted against character limit), adds content warning text to character count, also emojis and CJK characters are counted as 1 as opposed to 2. ([#511](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/511))
+    * Added notification when a user joins an instance. This notification is only available for administrators.
+    * Added option to disable Streaming in the account options. This can be useful if TWBlue, for some reason, repeatedly calls the instance API.
+    * Improved the code that works with the Streaming API to reduce the number of reconnection attempts TWBlue performs.
+    * Fixed media uploads for audio, video and gifvs. ([#513](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/513))
+
+## Changes in version 2023.2.3
+
+In this version, TWBlue will no longer support Twitter sessions starting on February 9, due to Twitter's policies prohibiting third-party clients, in addition to the shutdown of the free access to the Twitter API. All Twitter sessions that are active on TWBlue will stop working as of February 9, when the free API access will finally be shut down. It will not be possible to display or add Twitter sessions from the Session manager. From the TWBlue team, we will continue working to improve our support for Mastodon instances and add other social networks in the near future. If you want to keep in touch with the project, you can follow us in our mastodon account, at [@twblue@maaw.social.](https://maaw.social/@twblue)
+
+* In the graphical interface, TWBlue will update menu items, in the menu bar, depending on whether you are focusing a Twitter or Mastodon session. This makes it possible for TWBlue to display the correct terms in each social network. Take into account that there might be unavailable items for the currently active session.
+* in the keystroke editor for the invisible interface, TWBlue displays the available shortcuts for the currently active session. Descriptions of those keystrokes are also different for Twitter and mastodon sessions to use correct terms for both networks.
+* In the invisible interface, TWBlue will skip sessions that have not been started when using the keyboard shortcut to switch between different accounts.
+* Fixed a bug when deleting a session in the session manager dialog. Sessions can now be deleted correctly.
+* Mastodon:
+    * Added basic support to notifications buffer. This buffer shows mastodon notifications in real time. Every notification is attached to a kind of object (posts, users, relationships or polls). At the moment, the only supported action for notification is dismissing, which allows you to remove the notification from the buffer (take into account, though, that mention notifications will remove also the mention in its corresponding buffer, due to the way TWBlue reads mentions from mastodon instances).
+    * Fixed an issue that was preventing TWBlue to create more than one user timeline during startup.
+    * Fixed getting more items in mentions buffer. ([#508](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/508))
+    * TWBlue will display properly new paragraphs in mastodon posts.
+    * In the session manager, Mastodon sessions are now displayed including the instance to avoid confusion.
+    * TWBlue will now read default visibility preferences when posting new statuses, and display sensitive content. These preferences can be set on the mastodon instance, in the account's preferences section. If you wish to change TWBlue's behavior and have it not read those preferences from your instance, but instead set the default public visibility and hide sensitive content, you can uncheck the Read preferences from instance checkbox in the account options.
+    * If a mastodon instance is not active or there are errors during login, TWBlue will report it in the log file and will continue with other sessions.
+    * When replying to someone in a public post, TWBlue will default to "unlisted" as its visibility setting. This is done so replies will not clutter local and federated timelines. This setting might be changed when writing the reply, though. ([#504,](https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/504))
+    * TWBlue uses its own user agent in Mastodon sessions, so it will be easier to identify the client for instance admins.
+    * TWBlue will check if the streaming API endpoints are available before attempting to start Streaming for the current session. Before, TWBlue caused load issues in misconfigured mastodon instances where the streaming API were not available.
+
+## Changes in version 2022.12.13
+
 * per popular request, We will generate a 32-bit portable version of TWBlue available for Windows 7 operating systems. This version will not be supported in our automatic updater, so in case of using such version, you would need to download it manually every time there is a new update. TWBlue will continue to be available for Windows 7 as long as it is possible to build it using Python 3.7.
 * Fixed a couple of bugs that were making TWBlue unable to be opened in some computers, related to our translator module and some COM objects handled incorrectly.
 * Fixed an issue that was making TWBlue unable to open in certain computers due to errors related to Win32 API'S.

+Basic concepts
+----------------------
+
+Before starting to describe TWBlue's usage, we'll explain some concepts that will be used extensively throughout this manual.
+
+Session
+++++++
+
+A session is an account set up on a service. When you authorize TWBlue to use any of your social network accounts, a session will be created in the application. In this session, TWBlue creates buffers that allow you to display different types of items present in the social network. TWBlue allows you to have any number of sessions authorized and started. You can have TWBlue automatically start all your sessions, which is the default setting, although it is also possible to make certain sessions not start when you open the application.
+
+Buffer
+++++++
+
+A buffer is a list of items that come from your configured account, after being processed by TWBlue. TWBlue will create buffers with different types of items. For example, your posts sent on a social network, or your private messages with other users. You can perform certain actions on each of these elements depending on the type of buffer you are focusing.
+
+Graphical user Interface (GUI)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+TWBlue has two different interfaces: The graphical user interface (GUI) and the invisible interface. The GUI allows you to interact with the application through a window containing two important elements: A menu bar, which can be accessed by pressing the Alt key, and the list of sessions, buffers and available actions for them, which you can access by pressing the Tab key.
+
+The list of sessions and buffers is grouped in a tree view, where sessions are located at the root level and each session contains the buffers that belong to it. When you select one of these buffers, you can access the list of items it contains by using the Tab key. Depending on the selected buffer, you can find, also with the Tab key, a list of buttons representing actions you can perform on the session (such as posting a message on the social network) or on the focused item.
+
+Invisible interface
+++++++++++++++++++
+
+The invisible interface, as its name suggests, has no graphical window and works directly with screen readers such as JAWS for Windows, NVDA and System Access through keyboard shortcuts that you can use in any window. This interface is disabled by default, but you can enable it by pressing Control + M, which will hide the TWBlue window. If you use other applications to manage Twitter, such as The Qube and chicken Nugget, TWBlue includes support for keymaps for these clients, which you can configure from the global options dialog. It is also possible to use the invisible interface from TWBlue's graphical window, although this option can be disabled to avoid conflicting with other applications that require the keyboard shortcuts globally.
+
+Global settings and session settings
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+TWBlue has two different configuration dialogs: the global configuration dialog, which affects how TWBlue works for all sessions, and the session configuration dialog, which only affects how the current session works. You will find specific information about the session settings dialog for Twitter and Mastodon in its corresponding chapter in this guide.

+
+Version 2022.12.6
+-----------------
+
+Most of all changes in this release are focused on adding Mastodon support to TWBlue. The features present to handle Twitter should not have been altered in any way. We were not intended to release this version so soon, but unfortunately, Twitter started to present issues in some regions with one particular API endpoint we were using, making impossible for everyone in such regions to use the application. We will release more updates to fix any possible issue regarding Twitter API, but please take into account that this is sometimes an issue happening in Twitter's servers and while we do our best to make TWBlue work despite those problems, you might encounter glitches from time to time.
+
+* TWBlue now builds with Python 3.10.8. (`#493 <https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/493>`_)
+
+  * This change also drops support for Windows 7.
+
+* The TWBlue interface has not been translated yet, as we are releasing this update to fix an important Twitter issue for some regions.
+* Twitter sessions should be able to be opened properly again in TWBlue, in regions where it didn't work since last week.
+* It is now possible to log in to instances of mastodon, hometown and similar software (Pleroma should work as well, although it has not been tested at this time). From the session manager, clicking on the “new account” button will bring up a menu from which you can select whether you want to log in to Twitter or Mastodon. For instances that have a different character limit than the one set by Mastodon, TWBlue will detect the new limit and adjust the dialogs to allow you to use it correctly.
+* Most of the TWBlue GUI has been adapted so that the buffers reflect the change of social network (in mastodon, for example, the buttons to write posts say post instead of tweet). However, the menu bar has not yet been updated. This means that most of the options still refer to Twitter, although they can be used with mastodon accounts. For example, if you select the “tweet” menu in the menu bar, and then select the “Retweet” option, TWBlue will actually do a “boost” if the buffer you are in is a Mastodon account buffer.
+* Keystrokes for the invisible interface also refer to terms used in Twitter, but can be applied to Mastodon as well.
+* There are some features, within TWBlue, that are not yet compatible with mastodon accounts. These are as follows:
+
+  * User autocompletion.
+  * Currently, it is not possible to update account settings for mastodon sessions. However, if you know how to edit configuration files, you can close TWBlue, change your session file with any text editor and restart the application to update what you want.
+  * The template editor is not yet available for mastodon accounts.
+  * Filters have not yet been implemented in TWBlue mastodon support.
+  * User aliases are not implemented yet.
+  * It is not possible to view a user’s profile, nor edit your own, for now. However, you can use the keystroke to open the item in the browser when focusing a user to access their profile website. This only works in buffers where users are listed.
+  * You cannot manage lists in TWBlue at the moment.
+
+* Most of the buffers planned for mastodon should just work. Among those currently tested are: home (main timeline for the logged-in user), Local (public posts for the instance), federated (public posts for all federating instances), mentions, direct messages, sent posts, favorites, bookmarks, followers, following, blocked users, muted users, user searches and timelines for users.
+
+  *  The difference between favorites and bookmarks is that the author of the post can see who has marked his posts as favorites, but bookmarks are completely private. In any buffer containing mastodon posts, except direct messages, the GUI will display an option to add the post to favorites or bookmarks.
+  * Direct messages in mastodon are posts, exactly like normal posts, but with their privacy setting set so that they can only be seen by the accounts that are mentioned. In the direct message buffer, a conversation will appear for each item in the buffer. The conversation represents a thread of messages, but TWBlue can only display the last of the messages sent. This is similar to what happens on platforms like Telegram, where you can only see the list of conversations at the beginning. To see the entire thread of direct messages present in a conversation, you can use the command to open the conversation, or go to the “tweet” menu in the menu bar, and then towards the “view conversation” option. This will create a new conversation buffer that will be located just after the direct messages buffer (for the GUI, the buffer will be located just inside the direct messages buffer in the buffer tree). When a private post appears (whose visibility only allows the mentioned accounts to see it), TWBlue will display that post in the home buffer, in mentions and also will update/create the conversation with that item. This is because Mastodon does not differentiate between a private message and a normal post. You can reply to the post in any buffer to continue the conversation. If you reply to any post, the privacy set in the original post is maintained by default, but can also be changed.
+  * The buffer showing the federated timeline has been disabled from settings. This is because on servers that federate with many instances it can load many posts in a very short time. To enable this buffer, for now, edit the TWBlue configuration while the application is closed, and add the “federated” buffer in the option called “buffer_order”. As soon as buffers can be shown or hidden, this process can be done through the GUI.
+  * There is a Streaming API that allows the elements for the start buffers, mentions, direct messages, sent posts and followers to appear in real time. This feature is implemented by default and should also just work.
+  * Timelines for users only allow to get all posts from users who are in the same instance. For users belonging to other instances, you can get the posts that have been downloaded to your instance since your instance “knows” the remote user.
+  * Timelines for followers and following can be fully retrieved only for users belonging to the same instance. Remote users may yield unclear results.
+  * You can search by users (by opening a search and selecting the “users” radio button). The search can be done by local users, such as twblue, or by remote users, such as @twblue@maaw.social.
+* In all buffers, a maximum of 40 items are retrieved per load, but more can be retrieved by using the option to load more items in the buffer.
+* In post buffers, you can do most of the actions already supported in TWBlue (boost, add/remove from favorites or bookmarks, reply, send message to user, open post URL, play audio or video, open post on web, view conversation, open action dialog for user).
+* In user buffers, you can send private message to the user, and open user actions dialog, which in turn allows you to follow/unfollow, block/unblock and mute/unmute.
+* When writing posts, it is possible to attach up to 4 images, 4 givs, or even a video, poll, or audio. It is also possible to add the “sensitive content” tag to posts, change privacy and write a content warning text. It is possible to create threads using the “add post” button.
+* When replying to a post, TWBlue will place the username of all participants in the item you reply to. The privacy options will default to those of the original post.
+
+Version 2022.8.28
+------------------
+
+* the user autocompletion feature has been completely rewritten to be easier to use, particularly for people with many followers/following users:
+
+  * In the account settings dialog, there's a button that opens up a new dialog that allows you to "scan" your account in order to add all users from your followers/following list. This process will read your data directly from Twitter and depending in the amount of people you have in your account it might take too many API calls. Please use it with caution. You can, for example, do the process separately for your followers/following people so it will be easier to handle, in case you have a massive amount of people. If TWBlue is unable to complete the scan, you will see an error and will be prompted to try again in 15 minutes, once your API calls have refreshed.
+  * It is possible to use the user autocompletion functionality in dialogs where you can select an user, for example when adding or removing someone from a list, or displaying lists for someone.
+
+* Implemented a new setting, available in the account settings dialog, that allows to hide emojis in twitter usernames.
+* TWBlue should be able to sort conversations in a more logical way. This should make it easier to follow a long thread in Twitter.
+* When opening a thread, TWBlue should be able to load the right conversation if the original tweet from where the thread was loaded was a retweet.
+* TWBlue will restart the Streaming subsystem every time there are changes to followed, muted or blocked users within the application.
+* Fixed error when attempting to mention an user by using the "mention" button in any people buffer. Now tweets should be posted normally.
+* Fixed error when loading other user lists. (`#465 <https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/issues/465>`_)
+* Fixed an issue that was making TWBlue to display incorrectly some retweets of quoted tweets.
+* If TWBlue is unable to open a timeline for someone who has blocked you, this will be reported in a dialog. (`#485, <https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/485>`_)
+* Added "find a string in the currently focused buffer" action into Windows 10 and windows 11 keymap. (`#476 <https://github.com/MCV-Software/TWBlue/pull/476>`_)
+
+Version 2022.2.23
+--------------------
+
+* We have added Experimental support for templates in the invisible interface. The GUI will remain unchanged for now:
+
+  * Each object (tweet, received direct message, sent direct message and people) has its own template in the settings. You can edit those templates from the account settings dialog, in the new "templates" tab.
+  * Every template is composed of the group of variables you want to display for each object. Each variable will start with a dollar sign ($) and cannot contain spaces or special characters. Templates can include arbitrary text that will not be processed. When editing the example templates, you can get an idea of the variables that are available for each object by using the template editing dialog. When you press enter on a variable from the list of available variables, it will be added to the template automatically. When you try to save a template, TWBlue will warn you if the template is incorrectly formatted or if it includes variables that do not exist in the information provided by objects. It is also possible to return to default values from the same dialog when editing a template.
+  * TWBlue can display image descriptions within Tweet templates. For that, you can use the $image_description variable in your template.
+
+* We have restored conversation and threads support powered by Twitter API V2 thanks to a set of improvements we have done in the application, as well as more generous limits to Tweet monthly cap by Twitter.
+* In the Windows 11 Keymap, the default shortcut to open the keystrokes editor is now CTRL+Alt+Windows+K to avoid conflicts with the new global mute microphone shortcut.
+* TWBlue show display properly HTML entities in tweet's text.
+* TWBlue should no longer load old tweets in buffers.
+* Fixed issue when uploading attachments (images, videos or gif files) while sending tweets or replies.
+* Fixed an error that was making TWBlue to ask for a restart after saving account settings, even if such restart was not required. (`#413, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/413>`_)
+
+Version 2021.11.12
+------------------
+
+* Now it is possible to create a tweet from a trending topics buffer again.
+* TWBlue now includes a completely new set of dialogs to handle tweeting, replying and sending direct messages that take advantage of more Twitter features.
+
+  * It is possible to add videos in tweets and direct messages by using the new "add" button, located in every dialog where  media can be added. Twitter suggests to add videos from 5 seconds up to 2 minutes lenght, in mp4 format (video Codec H.264 and audio codec AAC). Currently, TWBlue does not check if the uploaded video complies with Twitter media requirements. You can add only a video in a tweet or direct message. No other kind of media can be added after a video is in a tweet. If the video was unable to be uploaded successfully, the tweet or direct message won't be created.
+  * Now you can add a poll to tweets. Polls can have up to 4 different options and allow voting up to 7 days after being created. Take into account, though, that currently TWBlue does not support reading polls in tweets.
+  * TWBlue now support threads while creating a new tweet. There is a new button, called add tweet which will add the current tweet to the thread and will allow you to write another tweet in the thread. Every tweet might include media (up to 4 photos, or one GIF image or a video) or up to one poll.
+  * Some functionality was removed from tweet dialogs within TWBlue. Particularly, URL shorteners and long tweets via Twishort. You still can read long tweets posted via Twishort, though.
+
+Version 2021.11.07
+------------------
+
+* TWBlue should retrieve tweets from threads and conversations in a more reliable way. Tweets in the same thread (made by the same author) will be sorted correctly, although replies to the thread (made by different people) may not be ordered in the same way they are displayed in Twitter apps. (`#417 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/417>`_)
+* When creating a filter, TWBlue will show an error if user has not provided a name for the filter. Before, unnamed filters were a cause of config breaks in the application.
+* It is again possible to read the changelog for TWBlue from the help menu in the menu bar.
+* fixed a bug when clearing the direct messages buffer. (`#418 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/418>`_)
+* fixed an issue that was making TWBlue to show incorrectly titles for trending topic buffers upon startup. (`#421 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/421>`_)
+* fixed an issue that was making users of the graphical user interface to delete a buffer if a trends buffer was opened in the same session.
+* Updated Spanish, Japanese and french translations.
+
+Version 2021.10.30
+------------------
+
+* Fixed many errors in the way we compile TWBlue, so users of 64 bits systems and particularly windows 7 users would be able to install TWBlue again. In case of issues with versions prior to 2021.10.30, please remove everything related to TWBlue (except configs) and reinstall the version 2021.10.30 to fix any possible error. This step won't be needed again in 23 months. (`#416, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/416>`_, `#415, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/415>`_)
+* fixed an issue that was making impossible to manually add an user to the autocomplete users database.
+* Started to improve support to conversations by searching for conversation_id.
+
+Version 2021.10.27
+------------------
+
+* Added an user alias manager, located in the application menu in the menu bar. From this dialog, it is possible to review, add, edit or remove user aliases for the current account. (`#401 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/401>`_)
+* TWBlue now closes the VLC player window automatically when a video reaches its end. (`#399 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/399>`_)
+* After a lot of time, TWBlue now uses a new default Soundpack, called FreakyBlue. This soundpack will be set by default in all new sessions created in the application. Thanks to `Andre Louis <https://twitter.com/FreakyFwoof>`_ for the pack. (`#247 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/247>`_)
+* When reading a tweet, if the tweet contains more than 2 consecutive mentions, TWBlue will announce how many more users the tweet includes, as opposed to read every user in the conversation. You still can display the tweet to read all users.
+* In the tweet displayer, It is possible to copy a link to the current tweet or person by pressing a button called "copy link to clipboard".
+* Added a keymap capable to work under Windows 11. (`#391 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/391>`_)
+* Added user aliases to TWBlue. This feature allows you to rename user's display names on Twitter, so the next time you'll read an user it will be announced as you configured. For adding an alias to an user, select the "add alias" option in the user menu, located in the menu bar. This feature works only if you have set display screen names unchecked. Users are displayed with their display name in people buffers only. This action is supported in all keymaps, although it is undefined by default. (`#389 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/389>`_)
+* There are some changes to the autocomplete users feature:
+
+  * Now users can search for twitter screen names or display names in the database.
+
+* It is possible to undefine keystrokes in the current keymap in TWBlue. This allows you, for example, to redefine keystrokes completely.
+* We have changed our Geocoding service to the Nominatim API from OpenStreetMap. Addresses present in tweets are going to be determined by this service, as the Google Maps API now requires an API key. (`#390 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/390>`_)
+* Added a limited version of the Twitter's Streaming API: The Streaming API will work only for tweets, and will receive tweets only by people you follow. Protected users are not possible to be streamed. It is possible that during high tweet traffic, the Stream might get disconnected at times, but TWBlue should be capable of detecting this problem and reconnecting the stream again. (`#385 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/385>`_)
+* Fixed an issue that made TWBlue to not show a dialog when attempting to show a profile for a suspended user. (`#387 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/387>`_)
+* Added support for Twitter audio and videos: Tweets which contain audio or videos will be detected as audio items, and you can playback those with the regular command to play audios. (`#384, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/384>`_)
+* We just implemented some changes in the way TWBlue handles tweets in order to reduce its RAM memory usage (`#380 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/380>`_):
+
+  * We reduced the tweets size by storing only the tweet fields we currently use. This should reduce tweet's size in memory for every object up to 75%.
+  * When using the cache database to store your tweets, there is a new setting present in the account settings dialog, in the general tab. This setting allows you to control whether TWBlue will load the whole database into memory (which is the current behaviour) or not.
+
+    * Loading the whole database into memory has the advantage of being extremely fast to access any element (for example when moving through tweets in a buffer), but it requires more memory as the tweet buffers grow up. This should, however, use less memory than before thanks to the optimizations performed in tweet objects. If you have a machine with enough memory, this should be a good option for your case.
+    * If you uncheck this setting, TWBlue will read the whole database from disk. This is significantly slower, but the advantage of this setting is that it will consume almost no extra memory, no matter how big is the tweets dataset. Be ware, though, that TWBlue might start to feel slower when accessing elements (for example when reading tweets) as the buffers grow up. This setting is suggested for computers with low memory or for those people not wanting to keep a really big amount of tweets stored.
+
+* Changed the label in the direct message's text control so it will indicate that the user needs to write the text there, without referring to any username in particular. (`#366, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/366>`_)
+* TWBlue will take Shift+F10 again as the contextual menu key in the list of items in a buffer. This stopped working after we have migrated to WX 4.1. (`#353, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/353>`_)
+* TWBlue should render correctly retweets of quoted tweets. (`#365, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/365>`_)
+* Fixed an error that was causing TWBlue to be unable to output to screen readers at times. (`#369, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/369>`_)
+* Fixed autocomplete users feature. (`#367, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/367>`_)
+* Fixed error when displaying an URL at the end of a line, when the tweet or direct message contained multiple lines. Now the URL should be displayed correctly. (`#305, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/305>`_ `#272, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/272>`_)
+* TWBlue has been migrated completely to Python 3 (currently, the software builds with Python 3.8).
+* TWBlue should be restarted gracefully. Before, the application was alerting users of not being closed properly every time the application restarted by itself.
+* If TWBlue attemps to load an account with invalid tokens (this happens when reactivating a previously deactivated account, or when access to the ap is revoqued), TWBlue will inform the user about this error and will skip the account. Before, the app was unable to start due to a critical error. (`#328, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/328>`_)
+* When sending a direct message, the title of the window will change appropiately when the recipient is edited. (`#276, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/276>`_)
+* URL'S in user profiles are expanded automatically. (`#275, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/275>`_)
+* TWBlue now uses `Tweepy, <https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy>`_ to connect with Twitter. We have adopted this change in order to support Twitter'S API V 2 in the very near future. (`#333, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/337>`_ `#347 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/347>`_)
+* TWBlue can upload images in Tweets and replies again. (`#240, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/240>`_)
+* Fixed the way we use to count characters in Twitter. The new methods in TWBlue take into account special characters and URLS as documented in Twitter. (`#199, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/199>`_ `#315 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/315>`_)
+* Proxy support now works as expected.
+* Changed translation service from yandex.translate to Google Translator. (`#355, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/355>`_)
+* Improved method to load direct messages in the buffers. Now it should be faster due to less calls to Twitter API performed from the client.
+* And more. (`#352, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/352>`_)
+
+Version 0.95
+-------------
+
+* TWBlue can open a Tweet or user directly in Twitter. There is a new option in the context menu for people and tweet buffers, and also, the shortcut control+win+alt+Enter will open the focused item in Twitter.
+* Some keystrokes were remapped in the Windows 10 Keymap:
+
+  * Read location of a tweet: Ctrl+Win+G. (`#177 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/177>`_)
+  * Open global settings dialogue: Ctrl+Win+Alt+O.
+  * Mute/unmute current session: Control + Windows + Alt + M.
+
+* Fixed an error that was preventing TWBlue to load the direct messages buffer if an user who sent a message has been deleted.
+* Added support for playing audios posted in `AnyAudio.net <http://anyaudio.net>`_ directly from TWBlue. Thanks to `Sam Tupy <http://www.samtupy.com/>`_
+* Custom buffer ordering will not be reset every time the application restarts after an account setting has been modified.
+* When adding or removing an user from a list, it is possible to press enter in the focused list instead of having to search for the "add" or "delete" button.
+* Quoted and long tweets are displayed properly in the sent tweets buffer after being send. (`#253 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/253>`_)
+* Fixed an issue that was making the list manager keystroke unable to be shown in the keystroke editor. Now the keystroke is listed properly. (`#260 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/260>`_)
+* The volume slider, located in the account settings of TWBlue, now should decrease and increase value properly when up and down arrows are pressed. Before it was doing it in inverted order. (`#261 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/261>`_)
+* autoreading has been redesigned to work in a similar way for almost all buffers. Needs testing. (`#221 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/221>`_)
+* When displaying tweets or direct messages, a new field has been added to show the date when the item has been posted to Twitter.
+* Added support for deleting direct messages by using the new Twitter API methods.
+* When quoting a retweet, the quote will be made to the original tweet instead of the retweet.
+* If the sent direct messages buffer is hidden, TWBlue should keep loading everything as expected. (`#246 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/246>`_)
+* There is a new soundpack, called FreakyBlue (Thanks to `Andre Louis <https://twitter.com/FreakyFwoof>`_) as a new option in TWBlue. This pack can be the default in the next stable, so users can take a look and share their opinion in snapshot versions. (`#247 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/247>`_)
+* There is a new option in the help menu that allows you to visit the soundpacks section in the TWBlue website. (`#247 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/247>`_)
+* When reading location of a geotagged tweet, it will be translated for users of other languages. (`#251 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/pull/251>`_)
+* When there are no more items to retrieve in direct messages and people buffers, a message will announce it.
+* Fixed an issue reported by some users that was making them unable to load more items in their direct messages.
+* It is possible to add a tweet to the likes buffer from the menu bar again.
+* Tweets, replies and retweets will be added to sent tweets right after being posted in Twitter.
+* Extended Tweets should be displayed properly in list buffers.
+
+Version 0.94
+-------------
+
+* Added an option in the global settings dialog to disable the Streaming features of TWBlue. TWBlue will remove all Streaming features after August 16, so this option will give people an idea about how it will be. (`#219 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/219>`_)
+* Due to Twitter API changes, Switched authorisation method to Pin-code based authorisation. When you add new accounts to TWBlue, you will be required to paste a code displayed in the Twitter website in order to grant access to TWBlue. (`#216 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/216>`_)
+* In order to comply with latest Twitter changes, TWBlue has switched to the new method used to send and receive direct messages, according to issue `#215. <https://github.com/manuelcortez/twblue/issues/215>`_
+
+  * The new method does not allow direct messages to be processed in real time. Direct messages will be updated periodically.
+
+* After august 16 or when streaming is disabled, the events buffer will no longer be created in TWBlue.
+* You can configure frequency for buffer updates in TWBlue. By default, TWBlue will update all buffers every 2 minutes, but you can change this setting in the global settings dialog. (`#223 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/223>`_)
+* Added a new tab called feedback, in the account settings dialog. This tab allows you to control whether automatic speech or Braille feedbak in certain events (mentions and direct messages received) is enabled. Take into account that this option will take preference over automatic reading of buffers and any kind of automatic output. (`#203 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/203>`_)
+* The spell checking dialog now has access keys defined for the most important actions. (`#211 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/211>`_)
+* TWBlue now Uses WXPython 4.0.1. This will allow us to migrate all important components to Python 3 in the future. (`#207 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/207>`_)
+* When you quote a Tweet, if the original tweet was posted with Twishort, TWBlue should display properly the quoted tweet. Before it was displaying the original tweet only. (`#206 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/206>`_)
+* It is possible to filter by retweets, quotes and replies when creating a new filter.
+* Added support for playing youtube Links directly from the client. (`#94 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/94>`_)
+* Replaced Bass with libVLC for playing URL streams.
+* the checkbox for indicating whether TWBlue will include everyone in a reply or not, will be unchecked by default.
+* You can request TWBlue to save the state for two checkboxes: Long tweet and mention all, from the global settings dialogue.
+* For windows 10 users, some keystrokes in the invisible user interface have been changed or merged:
+

+
+* TWBlue will show an error if something goes wrong in an audio upload.
+* And more. (`#171, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/171>`_) 
+
+Version 0.93
+--------------
+
+* A new soundpack has been added to TWBlue. Thanks to `@ValeriaK305 <https://twitter.com/ValeriaK305>`_
+* In the Windows 10 keymap, we have changed some default keystrokes as windows now uses some previously assigned shortcuts:
+
+  * For liking a tweet, press Control+Windows+alt+f
+  * for opening a trends buffer, press control+Windows+T
+
+* TWBlue has received improvements in some functions for handling extended tweets, long tweets and quoted retweets. It should render some tweets in a better way.
+* In the spell checker module, there is a new button that will allow you to add your own words to your personal dictionary so the module won't mark them as mispelled the next time you will check spelling.
+* Added filtering capabilities to TWBlue. (`#102 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/102>`_)
+
+  * You can create a filter for the current buffer from the buffer menu in the menu bar. At this moment, invisible interface does not have any shorcut for this.
+  * You can create filters by word or languages.
+  * For deleting already created filters, you can go to the filter manager in the buffer menu and delete the filters you won't need.
+
+* Links should be opened properly in quoted tweets (`#167, <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/167>`_ `#184 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/184>`_)

+* In the translator module, the list of available languages is fetched automatically from the provider. That means all of these languages will work and there will not be inconsistencies. Also we've removed the first combo box, because the language is detected automatically by Yandex'S API. (`#153 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/153>`_)
+* Trending topics, searches and conversation buffers will use mute settings set for the session in wich  they were opened. (`#157 <https://github.com/manuelcortez/TWBlue/issues/157>`_)

+Installation
+-------------
+
+TWBlue is available from its `Download page. <https://twblue.es/downloads>`_ On this page, you can always find the latest version of the application, completely free of charge. Currently, 4 different packages are distributed: two portable packages, for 32-bit and 64-bit systems; an installer, which selects the version to install depending on the architecture of the system where it runs, and a portable package for 32-bit, specially generated to be compatible with Windows 7.
+
+:note: Windows 7 users must download the Windows 7 compatible package. Any other TWBlue package will be impossible to run under this operating system.
+
+If you downloaded a portable version, simply unzip the file into an empty directory and run the twblue.exe file.
+
+If you downloaded the installer, open the twblue_setup.exe file and follow the instructions to install the software. The installer will select the best version for your operating system architecture. When finished, you will be able to run TWBlue from the desktop or the windows start menu.
+
+Troubleshooting
+++++++++++++++++
+
+In case TWBlue doesn't work for any reason, please verify the following before getting in touch, just to make sure everything is alright in your system:
+
+* for windows 7 Users, please have in mind that you will need to apply all available Windows Updates. Also you'll need the Service Pack 1 installed.
+* If TWBlue is unable to run and you are using Windows 8.1 or earlier, please make sure you have installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 redistributable package. Download the `32 bit <https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe>`_ or `64 bit <https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe>`_ versiom.
+
+If the application still doesn't work after you have checked this, please `Get in touch <contact.rst>`_ so we can help to determine what might b the issue and fix it for future versions.

+System requirements
+==========================================
+
+In order to run TWBlue successfully on a computer, these are the minimum system requirements. Please note that while it may be possible to use TWBlue under more limited resources, it is not recommended because the experience may be degraded or the application may not work as expected:
+
+* Processor: Dual core processor, 1.3 GHZ or higher.
+* Operating system: Windows 7 (service pack 1), Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10 or Windows 11.
+* Hard Drive: Minimum 200 MB of free space.
+* RAM memory: 4 GB.
+
+:note: TWBlue is compatible with Windows 7 systems (requires service pack 1 to be installed) in a special version, available on the `Project downloads page. <https://twblue.es/downloads>`_ This version is only available in a portable package, for 32-bit systems, and cannot be updated automatically. Windows 7 users will need to update TWBlue manually every time there is a new version to keep using the application.

+Twitter
+-------
+
+Twitter is a social networking or micro-blogging tool which allows you to compose short status updates of your activities in 280 characters or less. Twitter is a way for friends, family and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. You can restrict delivery of updates to those in your circle of friends or, by default, allow anyone to access them.
+
+You can monitor the status of updates from your friends, family or co-workers (known as following), and they in turn can read any updates you create, (known as followers). The updates are referred to as Tweets. The Tweets are posted to your Twitter profile or Blog and are searchable using Twitter Search.
+
+In order to use TWBlue, you must first have created an account on the Twitter website. The process for signing up for a Twitter account is very accessible. During the account registration, you will need to choose a Twitter username. This serves two purposes. This is the method through which people will comunicate with you, but most importantly, your username and password will be required to connect TWBlue to your Twitter account. We suggest you choose a username which is memorable both to you and the people you hope will follow you.
+
+We'll start from the premise that you have a Twitter account with its corresponding username and password.
+
+authorizing TWBlue
+==================
+
+First of all, it's necessary to authorise the program so it can access your Twitter account and act on your behalf. The authorisation process is quite simple, and the program never retains data such as your password. In order to authorise the application, you just need to run the main executable file, called TWBlue.exe (on some computers it may appear simply as TWBlue if Windows Explorer is not set to display file extensions). We suggest you may like to place a Windows shortcut on your Desktop pointing to this executable file for quick and easy location.
+
+You can log into several Twitter accounts simultaneously. The program refers to each Twitter account you have configured as a "Session". If this is the first time you have launched TWBlue, and if no Twitter session exists, you will see the Session Manager. This dialogue box allows you to authorise as many accounts as you wish. If you press the Tab key to reach the "new account" button and activate it by pressing the Space Bar, you will see a menu with all available services to configure in TWBlue. By choosing Twitter, a dialogue box will advise you that your default internet browser will be opened in order to authorise the application and you will be asked if you would like to continue. Activate the "yes" Button by pressing the letter "Y" so the process may start.
+
+Your default browser will open on the Twitter page to request authorisation. Enter your username and password into the appropriate edit fields if you're not already logged in, select the authorise button, and press it.
+
+Once you've authorised your twitter account, the website will redirect you to a page which will notify you that TWBlue has been authorised successfully. On this page, you will be shown a code composed of several numbers that you must paste in the TWBlue authorization dialogue in order to allow the application to access your account. Once you have pasted the code in the corresponding text field, press enter to finish the account setup and go back to the session manager. On the session list, you will see a new item temporarily called "Authorised account x" -where x is a number. The session name will change once you open that session.
+
+To start running TWBlue, press the Ok button in the Session Manager dialogue. By default, the program starts all the configured sessions automatically, however, you can change this behavior.
+
+If all went well, the application will start playing sounds, indicating your data is being updated.
+
+When the process is finished, by default the program will play another sound, and the screen reader will say "ready" (this behaviour can be configured).
+
+Buffer types
+============
+
+The following is a description for every one of TWBlue's buffers available for Twitter sessions, and the kind of items they work with.
+
+* Home: this shows all the tweets on the main timeline. These are the tweets by users you follow.
+* Mentions: if a user, whether you follow them or not, mentions you on Twitter, you will find it in this list.
+* Direct messages: here you will find the private direct messages you exchange with users who follow you , or with any user, if you allow direct messages from everyone (this setting is configurable from Twitter). This list only shows received messages.
+* Sent direct messages: this buffer shows all the direct messages sent from your account.
+* Sent tweets: this shows all the tweets sent from your account.
+* Likes: here you will see all the tweets you have liked.
+* Followers: when users follow you, you'll be able to see them on this buffer, with some of their account details.
+* Following: the same as the previous buffer, but these are the users you follow.
+* Muted users: when you mute someone in Twitter, you no longer see their tweets in any of your buffers. However, you still can receive direct messages from them. This buffer contains the list of your muted users.
+* Blocked users: Contains a list with all people you have blocked in Twitter. When blocking an user, they cannot see your profile, timelines or exchange direct messages with your account.
+* User timelines: these are buffers you may create. They contain only the tweets by a specific user. They're used so you can see the tweets by a single person and you don't want to look all over your timeline. You may create as many as you like.
+* Lists: A list is similar to a user timeline, except that you can configure it to contain tweets from multiple users.
+* Search: A search buffer contains the results of a search operation.
+* User likes: You can have the program create a buffer containing tweets liked by a particular user.
+* Followers or following timeline: You can have TWBlue create a buffer containing all users who follow, or are followed by a specific user.
+* Trending Topics: a trend buffer shows the top 50 most used terms in a geographical region. This region may be a country or a city. Trends are updated every five minutes.
+
+If a tweet contains a URL, you can press enter in the GUI to open it. If it contains video or audio, including live stream content, you can press Control + Enter to play it, respectively. TWBlue will play a sound if the tweet contains video metadata or the \#audio hashtag, but there may be tweets which contain media without this.
+
+Actions
+=======
+
+The available actions for each buffer may vary, and are found by pressing the Tab key, once a specific buffer has been focused. Note that these are not all the actions available for the Twitter session in TWBlue. Generally, you can perform the actions you want from 3 different ways: 
+
+* In each buffer, by pressing the Tab key until you find the action panel.
+* By using the menu bar, which can be accessed by pressing the Alt key.
+* Using the keyboard shortcuts, either from the graphical interface or the invisible interface.
+
+You can find more information on the meaning of these actions later in this topic:
+
+* For all sessions, you can log in or log out of TWBlue, as well as control whether the session should start automatically when you start the application.
+* For buffers containing tweets (home, mentions, favorites, timelines and searches), you can write a new tweet, reply to the currently selected tweet, retweet it or send a direct message to the user who wrote it.
+* For buffers containing direct messages, you can reply to the selected direct message.
+* For buffers containing users (followers, following, blocked users, muted, timelines and searches), the available actions are to mention the selected user, send a direct message or open the actions dialog for that user.
+* Buffers showing trends allow you to write a Tweet about the selected trend.
+
+Context menus
+==============
+
+By pressing the contextual menu key, or the right mouse button on a focused item, TWBlue will display a list of some actions that can be performed on it. These actions will be different depending on the type of item that is selected (for example, tweets allow you to retweet them, while a trend will allow you to perform a Twitter search on it). Below are the options that you will be able to see in the menus, sorted according to the type of element that is selected when displayed:
+
+Tweets
+++++++
+
+* Retweet: this option retweets the message you're reading. After you press it, if you haven't configured the application not to do so, you'll be asked if you want to add a comment or simply send it as written. If you choose to add a comment,  it will post a quoted tweet, that is,  the comment with a  link to the originating tweet.
+* Reply: when you're viewing a tweet, you can reply to the user who sent it by pressing this option. A dialogue will open up similar to the one for tweeting. If there are more users referred to in the tweet, you can press tab and activate the mention to all checkbox, or enabling checkbox for the users you want to mention separately. Note, however, that sometimes -especially when replying to a retweet or quoted tweet, the user who made the retweet or quote may also be mentioned. This is done by Twitter automatically.
+* Like: Adds the tweet you're viewing to your likes list.
+* Unlike: removes the tweet from your likes, but not from Twitter.
+* Open URL: if the focused tweet contains URL addresses, shows up a dialogue where you can choose which one to open in the default web browser. Bear in mind that if the tweet contains only one URL, it will open it automatically.
+* Open in Twitter: Opens the focused tweet in Twitter's website.
+* Play audio: if the focused tweet contains audio or video streams, shows up a dialogue where you can choose which one to play. TWBlue uses a reduced version of VLC media player to play most audio and video streams. Bear in mind that if the tweet contains only one audio or video URL, it will play it automatically.
+* Show tweet: opens up a dialogue box where you can read the item which has focus. You can read the text with the arrow keys. It's a similar dialog box as used for composing tweets, without the ability to send the tweet, file attachment and autocompleting capabilities. It does however include a retweets and likes count.
+* Copy to clipboard: copies focused item text to clipboard.
+* Delete: permanently removes the tweet which has focus from Twitter and from your lists. Bear in mind that Twitter only allows you to delete tweets you have posted yourself.
+* User actions: Opens a dialogue where you can interact with a user. This dialogue box will be populated with the user who sent the item in focus. User actions are described later.
+
+Direct messages
+++++++++++++++++
+
+* Reply: Opens a direct message dialogue, from where you can reply to the focused direct message. Sending direct messages will be described later.
+* Open URL: if the focused item contains URL addresses, shows up a dialogue where you can choose which one to open in the default web browser. Bear in mind that if the item contains only one URL, it will open it automatically.
+* Play audio: if the focused item contains audio or video streams, shows up a dialogue where you can choose which one to play. TWBlue uses a reduced version of VLC media player to play most audio and video streams. Bear in mind that if the item contains only one audio or video URL, it will play it automatically.
+* Show direct message: opens up a dialogue box where you can read the item which has focus. You can read the text with the arrow keys. It's a dialogue with the text to be read and a close button.
+* Copy to clipboard: copies focused item text to clipboard.
+* Delete: permanently removes the direct message which has focus from your account. Note that this will not remove the message from its recipient's account.
+* User actions: Opens a dialogue where you can interact with a user. This dialogue box will be populated with the user who sent the item in focus. User actions are described later.
+
+Users
+++++++
+
+* Direct message: Opens up a dialogue box from where it is possible to send a private message to the focused user.
+* Show user profile: Opens up a dialog box from where it is possible to see details for the focused user. You can read the dialog by using the up and down arrow keys. If the user has a website in their profile, you can press tab and find a button to open it in your default browser.

-                       Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
- 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-                            Preamble
-
-  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
-  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
-  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
-  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
-  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-    parties under the terms of this License.
-
-    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
-  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-    customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
-    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-    received the program in object code or executable form with such
-    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
-  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
-  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
-  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
-  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
-  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
-  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-                            NO WARRANTY
-
-  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
-    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
-
-    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
-    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
-    (at your option) any later version.
-
-    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
-    GNU General Public License for more details.
-
-    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
-    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
-    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
-    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
-    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
-    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
-  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
-  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
-Public License instead of this License.

-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-                       Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
- 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-                            Preamble
-
-  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
-  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
-  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
-  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
-  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-    parties under the terms of this License.
-
-    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
-  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-    customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
-    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-    received the program in object code or executable form with such
-    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
-  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
-  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
-  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
-  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is

-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the

-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
-  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program

-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-                            NO WARRANTY
-
-  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
