[George Peter Staplin]

I spent so much time writing the message and checking details that I  
forgot the links. :-)

Here is the tarball with binaries:

> About pbproxy
> -------------
>
> pbproxy is an application that transfers selections to/from X11
> and the Mac pasteboard/clipboard.
>
> It supports copying strings, such as UTF-8, Latin-1, and Compound
> text.  In addition to those, there is support for image copying,
> so you can copy images to/from the X11 Gimp (and other X11
> applications that support image copying) and Mac applications.
>
> There is also support for copying and pasting very large amounts
> of data that used to previously fail.
>
>
> Changes since release 11

> Remove the backup files from the distribution that I mistakenly left
> when building the tarball.
>
> Add a release_checklist.txt and the interactive test suite to the tests
> directory.

> I fixed the STRING property, so that now rxvt can copy/paste, as well as
> other apps that only support the Latin-1/STRING.
>
> I fixed the usage of the NSString cStringUsingEncoding: - it doesn't NUL
> terminate the string, which lead to a bus error in some cases.  So, we
> use lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding: to get the length in bytes instead of
> strlen().
>
> Add a -force option to ./install.sh.  For example:
>
> sudo ./install.sh -force
>
> Document this new flag in the README.txt.
