# Improvements/Changes
## User side
+ renamed the program, because "cscope" is annoying to type
+ improved gui /*pending*/
+ GNU Readline integration (ie. VI/EMACS mode, command history) /*pending*/
## To the code
+ nuked autoconf, replaced with single Makefile
+ removed "scanner.l" which seems to be an anchient version (and redundant copy) of "fscanner.l" forgotten by all
+ encapsulated changes to the TUI into display.c
+ removed macro hell put in place to allow compiling on a dead badger
+ replaced repeated inline #ifdef KEY_\*-s with guaranteed definitions
+ removed random commets giving tips for and refering to specific issues
+ use stdbool instead of YES/NO macros
+ saved kilobytes by stripping trailing whitespace
# Future features / contributor wishlist
+ providing support for other languages by integrating new lexers (e.g. ctag's)
