This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 0.17:

* The license has been updated to GPL version 3 or later.

* The "--scale" option no more suppresses ORF output.

* The removal of thick frames has been improved.

* "Textline" now accepts more than one big initial.

* The files "configure" and "Makefile.in" have been modified to be more 
GNU-standards compliant.


Improving Ocrad is costly, but you can help!  We are looking for
organizations that find Ocrad useful and wish to contribute back.

Antonio Diaz, GNU Ocrad author and maintainer.
