xclip

xclip-copyfile is now compatible with recent tar
versions. UTF-8 text is now supported.

This is the first release after moving to
Sourceforge. The performance has been greatly
enhanced, especially over slow networks. Two
helper scripts, xclip-copyfile and
xclip-pastefile, have been added. Taken together,
xclip can now be used as an alternative to
sftp/scp, thus avoiding password prompt when X11
forwarding has already been setup. Autoconf is now
used instead of Imake. The maintainer and Web site
address have been updated. All Debian patches have
been applied.

Removal of all event loops from xclib fuctions to allow xclib to be integrated into general-purpose event loops of other software more easily.

Portability and stability enhancements added. The man page now has a more conventional format and better content.

Support for the INCR mechanism (-o should be able to print out selections that were previously too big and would have resulted in a message "Error: Support for format not yet implemented."). In in mode, using the INCR mechanism means that you can use xclip on really big data. It used to work OK on big data, but it is better behaved about it.
