From widgets/e-table/ChangeLog

2000-05-14  Christopher James Lahey  <clahey@helixcode.com>

	* Implemented the feature where the ETable columns automatically
	fill the given space.

	* e-cell-text.c, e-cell-text.h: Moved #include
	e-text-event-processor.h from the .h to the .c.

	* e-table-col.c, e-table-col.h: Added an expansion variable, and
	made it so that width isn't set by the programmer but instead by
	the e-table-header.

	* e-table-example-1.c, e-table-example-2.c, e-table-size-test.c,
	test-check.c, test-cols.c, test-table.c: Fixed to handle new
	ETable column resizing.

	* e-table-group-container.c, e-table-group-container.h,
	e-table-group-leaf.c, e-table-group-leaf.h, e-table-group.c,
	e-table-group.h, e-table-item.c, e-table-item.h: Fixed these to do
	a proper canvas reflow/update loop.  Changed them to take a
	minimum width and return a width and a height.

	* e-table-header-item.c, e-table-header-item.h: Made this so that
	it depends on e-table-header.c for deciding the actual size of
	columns during resize (it was making incorrect decisions on its
	own.)

	* e-table-header.c, e-table-header.h: Changed this to make sure
	that the sum of the widths of the columns was always as close as
	possible to the width of the window.  This is done by taking a
	full width and having each of the columns have an "expansion"
	field.  This field is what makes each column have approximately
	the same portion of its part of the screen that it used to.

	* e-table.c: Changed this to set the width on the ETableHeader as
	well as set the proper minimum width on the ETableGroup and get
	the width and height it reports.

From addressbook/ChangeLog

2000-05-14  Christopher James Lahey  <clahey@helixcode.com>

	* backend/ebook/Makefile.am: Added libeutil for e-card's support
	for categories.

	* backend/ebook/e-card-list.c, backend/ebook/e-card-list.h: Added
	a function to get the length.

	* backend/ebook/e-card.c, backend/ebook/e-card.h: Added categories
	support (accessible either as "categories" or "category_list".)

	* contact-editor/Makefile.am: Added e-table and all of the
	categories files.

	* contact-editor/categories.glade,
	contact-editor/categories-strings.h,
	contact-editor/e-contact-editor-categories.c,
	contact-editor/e-contact-editor-categories.h:

	* contact-editor/contact-editor.glade,
	contact-editor/e-contact-editor-strings.h: Rearranged this dialog.

	* contact-editor/e-contact-editor.c: Rearranged dialog a bit.
	Added opening of categories dialog.

	* gui/component/Makefile.am: Rearranged libraries so that
	libetable would be available for the contact editor categories
	dialog.

	* gui/component/addressbook.c: Fix for new ETable resizing.  Make
	contact editor dialog resizable.

	* gui/minicard/Makefile.am: Added libetable contact editor
	categories dialog.

	* gui/minicard/e-minicard.c: Make contact editor dialog resizable.
