Release Notes

  This is the second 'release' of vnumlgui. It has been produced for
  testing purposes and is really *far* from being complete/tested/stable.
  Some tags and attributes are not interpreted (<host> for instance)
  and others are not fully implemented. Also, a lot of dialogs are
  crappy, a lot of code is broken... but all in all, it should give
  don't use on you and idea on the direction of the project.

  Don't use this application for production purposes. If you use vnumlgui
  to open existing simulation, *be sure to have backup copies*. vnumlgui
  doesn't work on the simulation file, but on an internal structure
  (%STORE, see man page) creted from it. When you use 'Save' or 'SaveAs',
  a new file will be generated from the internal structure.
  So between the opened file, and the saved one, you *will certainly*
  have differences, since not all tags are fully supported.
  Notably, XML comments are not, and won't be supported. They will simply
  disappear during and open/save sequence.

  List of unsupported tags : <host>
  List of partially supported tags : <automac>, <forwarding/> (i.e. forwarding
  with no attr).

  Other tags *should* be fully supported, but you mileage may vary...
