New Revision: 1301

Modified:
   trunk/windows/README

Log:
Add information about compatibility with old versions of Highlight

* windows/README
    put it here because there doesn't seem to be any other place in the
    documentation where we talk about known issues with 3rd party software.
    I don't want to reorganize the documentation right now but I don't want
    to lose this information either.

+- Old versions of Highlight (2.4.3 and earlier) will not show line numbers
+  for .txt files or files of unknown type even when the
+  "highlight_line_numbers" option is enabled.
+
+- Highlight versions 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 start line numbering for all file types
+  at 0 instead of 1 by default. A workaround is to make ViewVC pass an
+  explicit --line-number-start=1 option to Highlight
+
+- Highlight version 2.4.4 starts line numbering for .txt files at 0 instead of
+  1. It also misinterprets the --line-number-start option for those files,
+  starting numbering one number before whatever number is specified. Since this
+  behavior does not affect unknown file types, a simple workaround is just to
+  not pass a --syntax option to Highlight for plain text files (instead of
+  passing --syntax=txt).
