foxGUIb v0.7.1 Release Notes
============================
sorry i have dropped a big bug while refactoring that broke
load/save and copy/paste. it was subtle enought to slip
through my testing and into the release unnoticed.
(see changelog)
hope this one is stable.

foxGUIb v0.7 Release Notes
==========================
== What is foxGUIb? ==
foxGUIb is a GUI creator and code generator for FXRuby. It's a
convenient tool that makes it easy to quickly build complex and
good looking graphical user interfaces for Ruby.
== Whom is foxGUIb for? ==
* FXRuby newbies who want to experiment with the widgets and layouts.
* FXRuby experts who want to prototype parts of their GUI components rapidly.
... ok, lets say everyone who wants to create a GUI with FXRuby ;)
== What has changed? ==
* Fixed the bug that allowed to change properties of a
deleted widget (caused a crash)
* Fixed several bugs that led to crashes when typing
improper values into the property manipulators. e.g.:
backColor="bad input" instead of "200,255,255"
* on startup foxGUIb logs important version infos to the
log file. the log file is appended instead of replaced.
in case of a problem you can send me your logfile.
* some minor convenience fixes.

Summary:

FOX 1.6 brings to you full unicode support. see:
foxGUIb/test/unicode_test_japanese.rbin

I got some bug reports and most of them are fixed in this
release. Please keep sending bug reports to further improve
foxGUIb.
List of changes:
----------------
* restructured the source repository to be user centered.
now the sources are in ./src and only the important files
are in the toplevel directory.
* Fixed the bug that allowed to change properties of a
deleted widget (caused a crash)
* Fixed several bugs that led to crashes when typing
improper values into the property manipulators. e.g.:
backColor="bad input" instead of "200,255,255"
* on startup foxGUIb logs important version infos to the
log file. the log file is appended instead of replaced.
in case of a problem you can send me your logfile.
* some code improvements. hope i didn't introduce more bugs
* repository switched to svn.
... the contracting design window issue (windows only) is
still unfixed.
===========================================================
foxGUIb v0.6.2 for FXRuby 1.4.x (stable)
===========================================================
* fixed the "initial design window" isssue on windows.
===========================================================
foxGUIb v0.6.1 for FXRuby 1.4.x
===========================================================
* fixed the forgotten comma which caused a crash
===========================================================
foxGUIb v0.6 for FXRuby 1.4.x
===========================================================
* added widgets radiomutex menuradio and menucheck
* validates widget names (whether suitable as instance var), lowercase default names
* fixed the codegen-dialog startup bugs:
* the suggested class name changes according to the selected root widget
* codegen dialog protects settings by means of a checkboxthat toggles it readonly
* fixed bug: "on XP, the code gen window opens rather low down on the screen"
* context menu commands that are not supposed to be applied in certain situations are disabled (now foolproof ^^)
* context menu is now also available in the layout for most of the widgets (that respond to LMB-press)
* terminology: changed "paste/add under" to "paste/add inside"
* fixed: crash on closing last open layout
* fixed: the 'ruby sequence' option for code generator was broken
* fixed: crash on generate when document has been switched meanwhile.
* newly created widget is allways highlighted blue
* terminology: changed term for foxGUIb documents from 'Dialog' to 'Layout' in the userinterface
* fixed: the copy-paste bug and removed backColor hacks that became obsolete because of the new backColor(=) singleton methods
* added cut (to the options copy, paste and delete)
* removed "place exact" by "paste under/ -before/ -after"
* event editor: can now be started from context menu
* fix: changed backColor to allways return the true color of the widget (not the blue selection color of foxGUIb).
* externalized FX.rb as libGUIb and wrote an installer for it.
* updated foxGUIb to use libGUIb14.rb
* hacked mainwindow layouts to be always in front of foxGUIb mainwin
* fixed: the mainwindow allways in front of guib hack introduced a new problem. mainwindows got generated as dialog boxes
* eliminated include FX and include Fox from libGUIb.
* fixed bug in event_handler example
--------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.5.0
* Compatible with FXRuby1.4.4. Unfortunately this release is incompatible with
old FXRuby versions <= 1.2.6. Send me a feature request if you need it.
* New feature: "EventEditor". Event handling code can be written directly in
the EventEditor. Test running of the designed GUI with events is not included yet.
* The code generator supports events. See the event_handler.rbin example.
* EventEditor shows documentation for each listed event in the FXRuby API
* I polished foxGUIb's own GUI a bit. Looks quite professional now ;)
* Most icons are now in TGA file format which can allways be loaded because TGA
support is built-in in the FOX library.
* Fixed the startup crash on linux platforms.
* Fixed "Save As" Bug
Notes: Mike Parr is currently writing documentation for foxGUIb. The docu will be
included in the package in succeding versions. Thanks to all who encouraged me to
continue on foxGUIb!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
v1_branch: (unstable)
* completed module Direct Widget Manipulation that features
* insert mode: mouse and keyboard controllable insert cursor
* edit mode: mouse-over hovering, single/multiple select, recursive select
and mouse-drag-relink, keyboard relink of selected widget

version 0.4.1: development release. (unstable)
* fixed a critical bug in code-generator.rb (widgetname without quotes)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 0.4: development release. (unstable)
* ported to fox12 - fxruby 1.2.6 but tried to be backward compatible to fox 1.0. that is:
