No, I hadn't. Thanks for reminding me. ;) Something like this:

@findex scanf AT r{, and the X type conversion and C99}
The behaviour of the @code{X} type conversion for the @code{scanf}-family of
functions has changed.  Previously @code{X} denoted a @code{long} version of
the @code{x} type conversion.  Now @code{X} is equivalent to the @code{x} type
conversion, as required by C99.

I will also add a changelog entry for the delay changes. Probably something
like:

@findex delay AT r{, and Windows 2000 and XP}
The @code{delay} function now works on Windows 2000 and XP.  However, the
accuracy in the delay is limited, by the timing method it has to use on
Windows 2000 and XP.

Bye, Rich =]
