I am happy to finally announce the release of XForms 1.0.91. Hopefully this is another step on the somewhat longer than expected road to XForms 1.1.0. The new release is mostly a maintainance release with the emphasis on removal of bugs, code clean-up and getting it more in line with the description in the documentation. So only a very small amount of new features were added.

Here is a list of new features (see the files New_Features.txt for a more detailed description and ChangeLog for a complete list of all changes):

V1.0.91 November 22, 2008

• The default "look" of objects has been changed, mostly by reducing the default border width.
• New function for determining the border width of an object
• New function for determining the gravity setting of an object
• New function for determining the resize properties of an object
• New functions that allows to set and query which mouse buttons a button reacts to - this can now also be set via fdesign
• New goodie function for showing a message box
• New goodie function for showing an alert box
• New function that allows to switch off the title of a menu
• New function that allows to determine the sizes the window manager puts aroung a form's window
• New function that allows to determine if a form's window is iconified
• Creation and dealing with menus has been changed to allow callback functions, deletion of menu entries etc.
• The option '-debug' has been changed to '-fldebug'
• New option '-flhelp' has been added
