2005 Release 4:

[Fix] [All] Bounds3D: LineIntersection and LineSegmentIntersection now
            work correctly in all cases; previously, they would return
            invalid results for some inputs.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Find Next (as well as Replace & Find Next) now
            works correctly for search strings that are only one
            character long. (Feedback ID: wgyvbiay)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Undo and redo are less greedy, and now selects
            the text when undone or redone.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: When deleting code from the end of a method,
            the line at the bottom of the code editor is now erased
            properly. The code was deleted in previous versions, but
            the editor was not being updated properly.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: When selecting an entire line, the code editor
            no longer selects the beginning of the next line.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: When showing or hiding the declaration area,
            the code editor scrollbar updates appropriately.
            
[Fix] [IDE] ComboBox: AutoComplete now shows up (works) again in the
            properties list.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Container Controls: No longer need to be moved before being
            properly parented. (Feedback ID: svvqujhi)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Control Parenting: Fixed a problem where controls on
            container controls could lose their parenting if the
            container control had PagePanels within PagePanels and a
            window containing an instance of the container control was
            opened in the IDE before editing the container control
            itself.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Breakpoints can now be set again after breaking
            more than once.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Exporting: Exporting a folder will now append the proper
            extension for the items within the folder.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: All external items are saved when the
            project is saved.  This is a return to the Release 2
            behavior.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: Should now be much better about relocating
            items when the relative paths to the items from the project
            have changed.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: When importing a project from 5.5, the
            alias data on the Mac is used again.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Focus: When switching between tabs, the focus is retained
            more reliably. E.g., when the focus is in the code editor
            before running, after the run tab closes, the focus will be
            in the code editor still.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Form Editor: Better handles laying out pagepanels within
            pagepanels.  
            
[Fix] [IDE] Form Editor: When duplicating (or copying and pasting)
            controls that belong to a control array that have at least
            one event implemented, the project no longer has stray
            items in the code editor, and potentially compilation
            issues.
            
[Imp] [IDE] Language Reference: Language Reference has been updated.
            
[Fix] [Win] MessageDialog: No longer displays the close, minimize and
            maximize buttons.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Plugins: Constants inside of modules that are from plugins
            are now Public instead of Global.
            
[Fix] [All] RbScript: RbScript no longer misinterprets the value of any
            context object property whose type is Double. (Feedback ID:
            gclmzaso)
            
[Chg] [IDE] Revert To Saved: Now reloads from disk rather than
            unwinding the undo stack.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] SELinux: The Linux IDE, as well as built Linux apps, can
            now run on Linux systems with SELinux (Security Enhanced
            Linux) enabled.
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: No longer clips when resized in the window
            editor.
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: No longer has redraw issues when changing the
            text.
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: No longer leaks memory when assigning to the
            Text or Caption properties. (Feedback ID: bxuouyty)
            
[Chg] [Win] StaticText: StaticText rolled back to pre-r3
            implementation.
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: The MouseDown event no longer fires multiple
            times for a single click, (Feedback ID: lxspzhmi)
            
[Fix] [All] Thread: App.SleepCurrentThread now functions properly even
            if there's only a single thread.
            
            This also fixed App.DoEvents not properly yielding time
            back to the OS and your application consquently eating up
            100% of the CPU. (Feedback ID: ygqwlxkn)
            
[Fix] [Win] Trimesh Textures: Are no longer flipped in the y-axis when
            built for Windows.
            
[Fix] [IDE] XML Files: Projects with encrypted items are handled better
            when exporting to XML.
            
[Fix] [IDE] XML Files: Properties containing attached notes are now
            properly imported from XML.
            
            
[Fix] [IDE] XML Files: When reading in an XML window, class, or module,
            properties that are public no longer are lost. (Feedback
            ID: nrwllkhv)
            

2005 Release 3:

[New] [IDE] Application: Now checks for multiple instances of the
            application on the same machine.  If another instance is
            found, then the project being loaded (if any) will be
            displayed in the running instance instead of starting an
            entirely new instance.
            
[New] [IDE] Application: Now has an auto-increment feature for
            automatically incrementing the version information for your
            project on each compile (including running within the
            debugger).
            
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes read only properties at the
            beginning of a line. For example, Picture.Graphics.
            
[New] [Win] BevelButton: Now has a GotFocus and LostFocus event to
            alert you of focus changes.
            
[New] [Win] BevelButton: Now has an AcceptFocus as Boolean property
            (which defaults to false) to allow the control to receive
            keyboard focus.  Pressing spacebar or enter while the
            control has focus will fire its Action event.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Autocomplete no longer gets confused after
            text containing non-ASCII characters. (Feedback ID:
            vmskusxb)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Can no longer paste a property into a class
            interface. (Feedback ID: pgqoyiss)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Changes to a control's name are now reflected
            in the code editor immediately, even if it was already open
            showing some different name. (Feedback ID: vhduyimt)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Control arrays now correctly show (or remove)
            the "index" parameter when you change a control into a
            control array or back. (Feedback ID: bbopcskv)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Declaration fields now commit their values
            automatically when you create a new code item, rather than
            requiring a press of the Tab or Return keys. (Feedback ID:
            ydffqonl)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Doing a "super return" now honors the
            "Autocomplete applies standard case" preference. (Feedback
            ID: gzieiezl)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Double-clicking now correctly selects words
            containing non-ASCII characters. (Feedback ID: vmskusxb)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: No longer inappropriately shows the color
            swatch when resizing the IDE while viewing constants in the
            code editor. (Feedback ID: lwkpnvyc)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Now supports Shift+Insert, Ctrl+Insert,
            Shift+Delete and Alt+Backspace keyboard shortcuts on
            Windows (for Paste, Copy, Cut and Undo actions,
            respectively).
            
[Fix] [IDE] ComboBox: AutoComplete is now listed in the properties list
            again. (Feedback ID: dxvkkvgr)
            
[New] [Win] ComboBox: AutoComplete is now supported on Windows.
            
[Fix] [IDE] ComboBox: Now show the UseFocusRing property in the
            properties window again. (Feedback ID: hoviuoas)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: Exit now allows the expanded syntax that Continue
            works with. It also allows "exit sub" and "exit function",
            to exit from the current function. Other than not being
            able to specify a return value with "exit function", it
            behaves the exact same as the return statement.
            
            The expanded syntax includes:
            exit // exits the current loop
            exit [for | do | while] // exits the the first loop in the
            hierarchy of the type specified
            exit for loopVariable // exits the for loop identified by
            the loop variable
            exit sub // exits the current subroutine (same behavior as
            the return statement)
            exit function // exits the current function (same behavior
            as exiting the function normally, in that it returns the
            default return value)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: No longer fails an assertion in NameMangler.cpp
            when certain syntax errors involving method parameter types
            occur. (Feedback ID: qqqbjoms)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: Now has a "continue" statement, which allows you
            to go to the next iteration of a loop. It has a few ways to
            be used:
            
            continue // continues to the next iteration of the current
            loop
            continue [for | do | while] // continues to the next
            iteration of the first loop in the hierarchy of the type
            specified
            continue for loopVariable // continues to the next
            iteration of the for loop identified by the loop variable
            (Feedback ID: fijobzsy)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Now truncates version information when building
            Win32 applications where the version information is too
            long to store into the executable.
            
            Here are the current byte limitations for those entries:
            
            Long Version: 79 bytes
            Short Version: 39 bytes
            Package Info: 253 bytes
            Region: 21 bytes
            Release: 11 bytes
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Parameters made optional with the "Optional"
            keyword now use the default value for their type instead of
            a random value. (Feedback ID: sgdbonfl)
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Using Exit to exit a function no longer returns
            random values. It now returns the default value (the same
            as if you exited the function regularly).
            
[New] [All] Constants: Added a new option to String constants. String
            constants can now be dynamically localizable, which means
            that it will generate and load up the values from the
            proper language files on the given platform. On Mac OS X,
            it will generate .lproj folders inside of a package that
            will contain a single Localizable.strings file with the
            values of the strings. On Linux and Windows, it will
            generate .mo files as per the gettext format. The way to
            specify the values for the languages remains the same as
            before. (Feedback ID: kjpuetpn, kzlnxawy)
            
[Fix] [Win] Controls: Now draw propertly in the window editor when
            running the IDE in Vista.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Is now more reliable on Windows.  For example, it
            now determines that the application has terminated properly
            with better accuracy.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: No longer throws internal errors when
            encountering variants whose value is nil in certain cases.
            (Feedback ID: fdemlkru,rihjysyh)
            
[New] [IDE] Debugger: Viewers for arrays of colors now draw color
            swatches. (Feedback ID: qjkthvau)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: You can now view arrays of booleans. (Feedback
            ID: esrjrswt)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Dialogs: Find, Show Bookmarks, et al now have the proper
            tab ordering.
            
[New] [Win] DisclosureTriangle: Is now theme-savvy on Windows.
            
[New] [Win] DisclosureTriangle: Now has a GotFocus and LostFocus event
            to alert you of focus changes.
            
[New] [Win] DisclosureTriangle: Now has an AcceptFocus property (which
            defaults to false)	to allow the control to receive keyboard
            focus.  Pressing spacebar or enter while the control has
            focus will fire its Action event.
            
[Nte] [All] DisclosureTriangle: The default size of a disclosure
            triangle has changed to accomodate themes on Windows.  It's
            now an 18x18 control (but the control is centered within
            its bounds).
            
            You will need to update existing DisclosureTriangle width
            and height information manually.  Failure to do so means
            the control will clip for you on Windows with the theme
            turned on.
            
            Also note, the themed version of a DisclosureTriangle on
            Windows ignores the facing value since the themed control
            does not support it.
            
[Chg] [All] Dynamic Constants: Removed from r3, plan to reintroduce in
            r4.
            
[Chg] [Win] EditField: Rolled-back the theme-savvy drawing
            functionality of EditFields because of too many fringe
            cases where the drawing was wrong.
            
            All EditFields on Windows now draw with the standard OS 3D
            look because Microsoft has never updated RichEdit controls
            to be theme savvy.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Editor Tabs: Hitting Alt+Enter (on Windows and Linux) or
            Option+Return (on Mac) now brings focus to the propeties
            list.  This provides you with a way to switch the focus
            from the window editor to the properties list without
            trying to edit a caption for a control.
            
[Chg] [All] Element3D: This new class has been extracted as a
            superclass of Object3D.  It takes all the properties
            formerly defined on Object3D except for Shape and
            ShapeCount, and all methods except those related to shapes,
            and Clone.  Group3D now stores Element3Ds instead of
            Object3Ds.
            
[New] [All] Element3D.Render: This event takes one parameter, a
            TQ3ViewObject, and provides Element3D subclasses an
            opportunity to submit their geometry for rendering or
            picking.  View transforms for the element scale, rotation,
            etc. have already been submitted; you only need to submit
            your actual geometry.  If all this is foreign to you, don't
            worry about it; it's a low-level feature intended for
            people who make declares to Quesa.
            
[New] [All] Element3D.ScaleVector: This new property on Element3D adds
            support for non-uniform scaling.  ScaleVector accepts or
            returns a Vector3D where the three elements represent the
            scale factor in the object's X, Y, and Z axes,
            respectively.  The Scale property remains available, and
            returns ScaleVector.Length/Sqrt(3) (so that when
            ScaleVector is <1,1,1>, Scale is 1).  When you assign a
            value to Scale, it sets all three components of ScaleVector
            to that value. (Feedback ID: dtoqoosv)
            
[Fix] [All] EmailMessage: File attachments with appledouble mime
            encoding show up in the attachments array.
            
[Fix] [All] EmailMessage: First letter of body no longer gets cut off.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Export: You can now export folders via the Export menu (or
            contextual menu).
            
[Chg] [IDE] External code items: External code items no longer open up
            another window when editing.  They appear as another tab in
            the project.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: Project items stored as external files
            (e.g., pictures) will now be found even when the folder
            containing the project and files is moved, provided the
            relative path from the project to the files remains intact.
            (Feedback ID: pkbypxcb)
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: Projects that contain external encrypted
            items can now be read in from 5.5.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: The IDE is much better about resolving
            external items relative to a project.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Find Dialog: Now lets the favorites and recent searches
            buttons accept keyboard focus on Windows,
            
[Fix] [IDE] Find Window: Scope popup width is now restricted to fit the
            dialog neatly, even in projects with very long names.
            (Feedback ID: gzpnzhaa)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Find Window: The Find sheet no longer gets confused if you
            attempt to open in two windows at once. (Feedback ID:
            khwhtgim)
            
[Fix] [Win] FolderItem: Changed made to the name of a non-existant
            FolderItem now stick.
            
[Fix] [All] GetTemporaryFolderItem: Now deletes the FolderItem
            automatically when the application is shut down on Windows
            and Linux. (Feedback ID: xysvvdph)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Graphics: No longer causes a message "CGGStackRestore:
            gstack underflow" to appear in the console. (Feedback ID:
            iyagsgfd,jzrynups,bixafjrf,oabhzoyz)
            
[Fix] [Car] Graphics: No longer will render drawing operations if done
            to a canvas that is on a non-visible panel of a TabPanel or
            PagePanel.
            
[Fix] [Win] GroupBox: When using DrawInto, now draws the disabled state
            of the GroupBox properly on themed OSes.
            
[Fix] [IDE] HTMLViewer: You can now put an HTMLViewer on a window after
            opening the Language Reference. (Feedback ID: zurjxamu)
            
[Opt] [All] InternetHeaders: Parsing internet headers is faster.
            
[New] [Win] IPCSocket: Handle now returns non-zero on Windows (it's a
            handle to a WinSock SOCKET).
            
[New] [All] IPCSocket: Has two new properties: BytesLeftToSend as
            Integer
            and BytesAvailable as Integer.  These properties behave the
            same as their TCPSocket counterparts.
            
[Fix] [Win] IPCSocket: Is now drastically more stable on Windows.
            (Feedback ID: lhvfbcne)
            
[Chg] [Win] IPCSocket: Now binds directly to the loopback interface on
            Windows using a native socket control instead of trying to
            use memory-mapped files for doing connections and data
            transfer.
            
            This method should not trigger any firewall warnings (if it
            does, please report it).  However, increased stability
            comes at a cost, the control is slower now than before (but
            is still faster than a TCPSocket).
            
[Chg] [IDE] Languages: Updated Lettish, Farsi, Byelorussian, Tajiki,
            Pashto, Galla, Ruanda, and Faeroese to Latvian, Persian,
            Belarusian, Tajik, Pushto, Oromo, Kinyarwanda, and Faroese,
            respectively to match the names found in the ISO 639
            specification.
            
[Fix] [Win] ListBox: Now draws properly themed when running in Vista.
            
[Fix] [Win] ListBox: Now honoring UseFocusRing on Windows.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Location Field: Now selects class and module constants when
            you try to jump directly to them. (Feedback ID: xvzwseeg)
            
[New] [All] Material: This new class represents a material (e.g. color
            or texture) in a 3D object.  See the "New 3D Features Read
            Me.txt" file for more details.
            
[Fix] [All] MemoryBlock: When using the comparison operator against
            nil, valid memoryblocks returned from declares or from
            MemoryBlock.Ptr will no longer always be true. Instead, if
            the returned MemoryBlock wraps a nil pointer, it will
            return true, but otherwise will return false. (Feedback ID:
            btmydjke)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Mode Switch Buttons: No longer look like Aqua buttons on
            Windows. (Feedback ID: udriotib)
            
[Fix] [Win] MoviePlayer: Assigning a movie that was obtained from
            OpenURLMovie, now works with the Windows Media Player.
            (Feedback ID: kygsfxzr)
            
[Fix] [Win] MoviePlayer: Play and Stop events are now fired when using
            the Windows Media Player. (Feedback ID: rwyuyyle)
            
[New] [All] Object3D.AddShapeFromFile: now takes one additional,
            optional parameter, insertPos, which indicates the position
            at which the newly added shape should be inserted into the
            object's shape list.  If unspecified, the new shape will be
            appended to the end of the list.  This change also applies
            to AddShapeFromString,  AddShapeFromHandle,
            AddShapePicture, and AddShapePictureWithMask. (Feedback ID:
            gwdwhiki)
            
[New] [All] Object3D.MaterialCount: Provides a count of all the
            materials that can be found inside the current shape of
            this object.  Note that while most kinds of materials will
            be found, there may be some geometry types with materials
            tucked away where REALbasic can't find them.
            
[New] [All] Object3D.Material(index as Integer): Lets you get or set
            the indicated material within the object.  Raises an
            OutOfBoundsException if index is out of bounds.
            
[New] [All] Object3D.RemoveShape: this new method takes one integer
            parameter, Index, and removes the shape at that index from
            the object's shape list. (Feedback ID: gwdwhiki)
            
[New] [All] Object3D.ShapeCount: this new read-only property tells you
            how many shapes have been added to an Object3D.  The Shape
            property will always return a value from 0 to ShapeCount-1.
            (Feedback ID: gwdwhiki)
            
[New] [All] OLEObject: Added TypeName() As String function that returns
            the type name of the object. (Feedback ID: mezesmal)
            
[Fix] [IDE] PagePanel: Deleting a pagepanel that's embedded within a
            pagepanel no longer crashes. (Feedback ID: beywyjhj)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Picture Editor: No longer gives the focus to the scrollbars
            on Windows.
            
[Fix] [All] Plugin Support: Plugins with classes that implement events,
            and whose superclasses are also in the same plugin, now
            work correctly.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Preferences Window: Cancel button now cancels preference
            changes (previously, prefs were actually saved on Mac OS
            despite clicking Cancel). (Feedback ID: ldtrqlzo)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Preferences: Corrected tab ordering in the Debugger pane.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Printing & Copying: Now properly indents source code
            (again). (Feedback ID: qjjnvdgk)
            
[Fix] [Win] ProgressBar: Now draws in the indeterminate state properly
            on Vista.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Project Tab: If you move the splitter more than a few
            hundred pixels away from the right side of the window in a
            new project, subsequent new projects no longer position the
            splitter near the window's left side.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Project Tab: If you save a project with the properties list
            stretched very wide, the project item list is no longer
            initially invisible when you reopen that project.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Project: No longer can get in a situation where assigning a
            menubar has no effect. (Feedback ID: oqdqohmt)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Properties Listbox: Can now select the "more" button (with
            the ellipsis) in the properties listbox by hitting
            Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Properties List: Properties of subclassed controls now have
            their correct behavior even after saving and reopening the
            project. (Feedback ID: jsiogxql)
            
[Fix] [Car] Properties: Having default values and compiling for Mach-O
            no longer crashes the application when instantiating the
            class that property belongs to. (Feedback ID:
            iqglbmoq,bboostbp)
            
[New] [All] Quaternion: Now has a copy constructor (e.g., q2 = New
            Quaternion(q1)), as well as a Copy method (e.g.
            q2.Copy(q1)), for easily making one Quaternion with the
            same data as another.
            
[Fix] [] REAL SQL Database: Fixed bugs in the way local and UTC
                        time was being obtained.
            
[Fix] [Win] Registry: Value now returns a proper string when querying
            REG_MULTI_SZ keys. (Feedback ID: noopkpoz)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Revert: Now reverts all the way back to the last save,
            rather than only to the last time you ran the project.  You
            may also notice that you can now Undo past the last run of
            the project, too.
            
[Fix] [Car] RGBSurface: No longer yields corrupted images if setting
            pixels after already drawing the picture to the screen.
            
[Chg] [All] RGBSurface.Pixel: Setting a pixel value no longer clears
            the high byte of a 32-bit pixel, since that byte may be
            interpreted as alpha channel data when the picture is
            exported to other applications. (Feedback ID: cqfkrzxt)
            
[New] [Win] ScrollBar: Now has an AcceptFocus as Boolean property
            (which defaults to false.  This allows you to have
            ScrollBars for the window which do not accept keyboard
            focus, as per the OS UI guidelines.
            
            Note -- if you are relying on your scrollbars on Windows to
            receive keyboard focus, you must modify your code to set
            the AcceptFocus property to true.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Searching: Now searches within computed properties.
            (Feedback ID: nhmpnrxt)
            
[New] [OSX] Serial: Now supports arbitrary baud rates in OS X 10.4 and
            up.
            
[Chg] [All] ServiceApplication: The "Continue" event is now named
            "Resume."
            
[Fix] [All] Split: Now functions properly when splitting a UTF-16
            string using Chr( 0 ) as a separator.
            
[Chg] [Win] StaticText: Is now a true Win32 OS control.  It should be
            100% backwards compatible because the control is
            owner-drawn (so the drawing behavior should be the same).
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: Now draws the disabled color using the true
            system colors, so high contrast mode now displays the
            disabled color properly.
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: Now responds to screen readers properly.
            
[New] [All] System.Network: Added a new function called WakeOnLAN that
            allows you to remotely wake a machine on the LAN (assuming
            the machine supports this feature).  You can pass a
            broadcast address or a direct IP address, in addition to
            the MAC address of the machine you want to wake.
            
[Fix] [IDE] TabPanel/PagePanel: Adding a tab (or page) to a panel no
            longer throws a NilObjectException under certain
            circumstances. (Feedback ID: rvmbqpmy)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Undo/Redo: Now brings the affected editor tab to the front
            when undoing or redoing an action.  If no project item is
            affected, then the project item editor is brought to the
            front. (Feedback ID: jrazgbmn)
            
[New] [Win] UpDownArrows: Now has a GotFocus and LostFocus event to
            alert you of focus changes.
            
[New] [Win] UpDownArrows: Now has an AcceptFocus property (which
            defaults to false)	to allow the control to receive keyboard
            focus.  Pressing the up arrow key will fire the Up event
            and pressing the down arrow key will fire the Down event.
            
[Fix] [All] Variant: Can now be used with the ^ (pow) operator.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: No longer crashes with a Stack Overflow when
            controls are reordered in certain ways. (Feedback ID:
            lobwrbbb)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: No longer throws exceptions when a
            previously-deleted control is on the edited window.
            (Feedback ID: eaeambib)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Now drawing the window frame widget buttons
            properly for themed versions of Windows (including Vista).
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: Now has a Check Keyboard Mnemonics
            contextual menu item.  This item will check for duplicate
            keyboard mnemonic definitions and alert you of which items
            are conflicting for the current view of the window.  
            
            Note that changing the value of a tab panel or page panel,
            or setting a new MenuBar for the window is considered a
            different view of that window and keyboard mnemonics must
            be unique between views.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: The window itself is now included in the tab
            ordering, so you can select the window without having to
            use the mouse (by hitting the tab key to advance thru the
            controls on the window).
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor/Code Editor: Renaming a control in the window
            editor is now reflected in the code editor without needing
            to close the tab and reopen it. (Feedback ID: trimyzkc)
            
[New] [Win] Window: Now has a MinimizeButton property to let you
            control whether the minize button is enabled at runtime. 
            This is a design time-only property, and defaults to true
            for backwards compatibility.
            
[Fix] [IDE] XML Export: Now saves notes associated with properties. 
            Note that annotated properties in XML files will not be
            readable by older versions of REALbasic. (Feedback ID:
            rwgypozz)
            
[Fix] [All] Xml: No longer leaks when calling various append methods.

2005 Release 2:

[Fix] [IDE] Add Bindings Dialog: Now responds to the space bar to
            toggle the checkbox.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Application: Now enforces Integer data entry for Major,
            Minor, Bug and Non-Release version fields.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Application: Renamed the "special" application property
            Release to be StageCode instead (so it matches with the
            runtime property) and made it into an Enum type.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Application: StageCode now defaults to "0 - Developement"
            instead of staying blank.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Application: The Major, Minor and NonRelease version
            information are properly constrained to values between 0
            and 255.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Application: Version information now defaults to 1.0.0.0
            instead of 0.0.1.0.
            
[Chg] [All] App.DoEvents: If the current method is running inside a
            thread, DoEvents will simply yield to the main thread
            instead of running one iteration of the event loop inside
            the thread, thereby causing great confusion. Widespread use
            of DoEvents is still a sign of poor application design, but
            at least you can no longer hurt yourself with it quite so
            easily.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Arrays: The Array function can now be used on the left hand
            side of the dot operator: you can call methods on the array
            it returns. (Feedback ID: wuketitg)
            
[Opt] [All] Array.Sort: Now faster and uses less stack space.  (For the
            curious, it's currently a QuickSort, but switches to an
            insertion sort when dealing with fewer than 16 elements.)
            
[New] [All] Array.SortWith: This new method on sortable one-dimensional
            array types takes one or more additional parameters, which
            must be arrays of the same size (but any element type). 
            The additional arrays are reordered in the same way as the
            base array.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes AddressOf.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes extension methods more
            reliably, and on types that are not classes.

[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now works with arrays much better. (Feedback
            ID: mtzjbjyg)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: When autocompleting in editfields, such as
            the property type field, if you begin typing before the end
            of the existing text, it no longer does funky things.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Build Settings Dialog: Is no longer resizeable on Windows
            and Linux.

            (Carbon or Classic) console application.
            
[Fix] [Mac] Canvases: When drawing using the Graphics instance returned
            by Canvas.Graphics, no drawing occurs anymore when the
            canvas is on a non-visible panel on a pagepanel or
            tabpanel. (Feedback ID: viskwhac)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Clipboard Support: Properties copied from the code editor
            no longer contain their declarations twice.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Clipboard Support: Text containing "as" is no longer
            mistaken for a property when pasting into a code browser.
            
[Chg] [IDE] Code Browser: Now only retains focus if the item you are
            clicking on is either the currently selected item, or is
            not a source item (event, property, etc). Previously, it
            would always retain the focus no matter how you clicked on
            it.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Clicks below the bottom of the last line are
            now properly interpreted as indicating the end of the last
            line of source code.

            equals signs. (Feedback ID: jotxwtyr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: New methods added to a class interface are no
            longer given scopes other than Public when the last method

[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: No longer shows the selection highlight in
            dark blue on Windows whe the code editor does not have the
            focus.  Now the selection is the standard non-focus gray.

            longer invisible in the code editor.
            
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: The last line of source code in a method no
            longer disappears when you click and hold the mouse to the
            right of the line.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: When going to locations that no longer exist
            (ie, you have deleted the lines of code), there is no
            longer an internal error. (Feedback ID: cdqdorcb)
            
[New] [IDE] Code Editor: When switching to properties, constants, and
            event definitions, the editor will automatically expand the
            declaration area for you. It will also remember the
            previous state, and restore it when switching to another
            item.

[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Calling a function and passing in multiple
            parameters that are converted via an Operator_Convert no
            longer causes an error if NilObjectChecking is turned off
            via the #pragma statment. (Feedback ID: scwabsqu)

[Fix] [Mac] Compiler: In certain circumstances related to complex
            floating-point expressions involving ByRef parameters
            and/or object properties, the compiler no longer mistakenly
            overwrites the register containing an intermediate value,
            yielding incorrect arithmetic results. (Feedback ID:
            akqqyimc)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: No longer fails assertions when trying to compile

            error" at the end of a method, it will now report a
            specific error message at the starting line of that block
            (for example, "if foo then").
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Version information is now set in the built
            executables correctly.  Specifically, fixed the StageCode,
            BugVersion and NonReleaseVersion information.
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: When two classes inherit from the same superclass
            that defines a protected member, you can now access that
            protected member in one class from the other class without
            explictly upcasting it to the class that declared it. For
            example, consider class SharedParent declared a property
            "Foo", and class A and class B both have a superclass of
            SharedParent. From within class A, you can now access "Foo"
            on instances of class B.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiling: If a constant has an error, it no longer throws
            an assertion or exception. Instead, it now displays the
            constant for you. (Feedback ID: fztshzmv)
            
[Fix] [All] ContainerControl: Resized event now fires even when
            embedded in a window with LiveResize=True.

[Fix] [Win] Controls: Changing the caption of a control now properly
            updates on Windows XP64.  Also, the controls are now theme
            savvy. (Feedback ID: pmxrcwbt)
            
[Fix] [Win] CountFieldsB/NthFieldB: No longer throws loader assertions
            when used in an application. (Feedback ID: xmbtmgsp)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Database Browser Window: Now has resizeable columns when

[Fix] [IDE] Database Editor: Now has the proper tab ordering.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Arrays of variants now show up with all of their
            values displayed. If the array element is an object
            reference, it is now drawn as a clickable hyperlink.
            (Feedback ID: fbarlcgg)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Can now Copy from the debugger. (Feedback ID:

[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Event implementations, assigns methods, extension
            methods, and methods using ParamArray no longer show up in
            the debugger with inexplicable punctuation marks preceding
            their names. (Feedback ID: DebugStackFrame.DisplayName)
            
[New] [IDE] Debugger: Hyperlinks now have a contextual menu allowing
            you to open the link in place or in a new window. (You can
            still open in a new window by shift-clicking or
            command-clicking, depending on your platform; this is just
            a new way to get to the same feature.)

            are currently viewing. (Feedback ID: fmvmvaij)

[New] [IDE] Debugger: Object array viewers have an additional data
            column displaying one property value for each object
            instance. A popup menu lets you select which of the class'
            properties this column will display.  (Feedback ID:

[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Object values in arrays are now displayed as
            hyperlinks, as in other data viewers. (Feedback ID:
            nhyhjpnz)
            
[New] [IDE] Debugger: The first and last lines of source are now shown
            so that you can distinguish which items are passed as
            parameters, as well as see where the execution point is
            when you return from the method. (Feedback ID:

[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Variant variables are no longer blank.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: Viewing the contents of a string with nil
            encoding no longer causes the IDE to fail with a
            NilObjectException. (Feedback ID: lsfpffwv)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: When debugging a project on a remote machine
            using a different processor architecture than the machine
            the IDE is running on (debugging a Windows app from Mac OS,
            for example), the target app will no longer crash when it
            reaches a breakpoint or a Break statement.
            
[New] [IDE] Default New Project: If you have project in your Project
            Templates folder called "Default New Project," it will
            automatically be loaded when REALbasic is launched.
            (Feedback ID: brwbtlvk)
            
[New] [All] Dictionary.Keys: this new method returns all the keys in
            the dictionary, as a Variant array.  The order is
            guaranteed to be stable and to match the order returned by
            Dictionary.Values, at least until the dictionary is
            modified.  Tip: use it with "for each" to easily iterate
            over all keys.
            
[New] [All] Dictionary.Values: this new method returns all the values
            in the dictionary, as a Variant array.  The order is
            guaranteed to be stable and to match the order returned by
            Dictionary.Keys, at least until the dictionary is modified.
             Tip: use it with "for each" to easily iterate over all
            values.
            
[Fix] [Win] EditableMovie.Picture: No longer leaks memory when getting
            a Picture from an EditableMovie.
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Items: When external items are locked and you save
            the containing project, it will no longer gripe about the
            items being locked. (Feedback ID: jpbeomqz)
            
[Fix] [IDE] External Windows: Once again compile even when they include
            a custom control with an implemented event. (Feedback ID:

            Add contextual menu. (Feedback ID: ygozamtd)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Implements Interface Dialog: No longer uses the default
            scope rules, instead pulls the scope information from the
            interface contract itself.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Importing: When importing a folder of items, if an item has
            the same name as a folder when importing, it no longer
            renames the class to not conflict with the folder.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Line, non-visible controls: Can now be positioned on the
            window again instead of snapping back to original location.
            (Feedback ID: sgadkroi)
            
[Fix] [IDE] List Bindings Dialog: No longer displays an & in the
            window's title. (Feedback ID: uavwoddg)
            
[Fix] [All] Listbox: Drag-reordering of rows in a hierarchical listbox
            no longer allows attempts to drag a folder into itself.
            (Feedback ID: hjtcmkpx)

            ScrollPosition is changed. (Feedback ID: jixgyunp)
            
[Fix] [Win] ListBox: Now displays the selection highlight in gray when
            the ListBox does not have the focus.  This provides the
            proper visual feedback for the user.
            
[Fix] [Win] ListBox: Scrolling listbox contents horizontally now
            refreshes the headers properly. (Feedback ID: tsjvqbaw)
            
[Fix] [Car] Mach-O: Modules and static variables now show up in the
            debugger. (Feedback ID: svubifcx,ywpxmkpy,uggsvxhq)
            
[Fix] [All] MemoryBlock: Comparing a MemoryBlock to nil will return
            true if the MemoryBlock is nil, or if the MemoryBlock wraps
            a nil pointer.
            
            If you need to know whether the actual variable itself
            references nil instead of wrapping a nil pointer, then you
            should use the Is keyword, like this:  if myMemoryBlock Is
            nil then (Feedback ID: iygdedos)

            true again. (Feedback ID: aeolyhrb)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Menu Editor: Descriptions of standard keyboard accelerator
            keys no longer shows double ampersands. (Feedback ID:
            ilntisyu)
            
[Fix] [Mac] MenuItem.PopUp, ConstructContextualMenu: Now creates a true
            contextual menu item instead of using a popup menu.  This
            causes the first item in the menu to not be initially
            selected (as is appropriate). (Feedback ID: evpzujga)
            
[Fix] [Mac] Menus: No longer stop working "after a while." For Carbon,
            this meant quite some time, but for classic, the period was
            short. This also fixes the IDE menus stop working after
            some time. (Feedback ID: jdxexgms,zynopshi)
            
[Fix] [Car] Menus: Worked around a Tiger bug that causes menus to not
            unhighlight properly in Carbon applications in certain
            circumstances. (Feedback ID: bcalwkav)
            
[Fix] [Win] MessageDialog, MsgBox: No longer takes up huge amounts of
            the screen for people with higher screen resolutions.  Now
            caps the dialog width at 512 pixels, regardless of
            resolution. (Feedback ID: cieygjmi)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Multiple Errors Tab: No longer displays the selected text
            in white on Windows or Linux.  Now uses black for better
            readability.
            
[Fix] [IDE] New Bookmarks Folder: No longer throws an exception when
            clicking the close button. (Feedback ID: yojgguqr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Old Projects: When reading in a project from 5.5 that built
            Mach-O, the IDE no longer selects both PEF and Mach-O for
            the build settings. (Feedback ID: jjssukdf)
            
[New] [All] OLEObject: Setting indexed properties is now supported. 
            The Value property of the OLEObject class can now take a
            list of parameters when assigning a value.
            
            Value( nameOfProp As String, params() As Variant ) =
            newValue
            
            For example, the Word.Document.Compatibility property is an
            indexed property.
            
            Dim word As New OLEObject("Word.Application")
            Dim doc As OLEObject
            
            word.Visible = True
            doc = word.Documents.Add
            
            Dim params(1) As Variant
            params(1) = Office.wdNoTabHangIndent
            
            doc.Value("Compatibility", params) = True
            // or
            // doc.Compatibility(Office.wdNoTabHangIndent)=True
            
            
[Fix] [Win] OLEObject/OLEContainer: Now better at handling events for
            certain ActiveX controls. (Feedback ID: ncgqzwif)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Plugins: Mach-O only plugins now work again. As an added
            benefit, they no longer need to be converted to either a
            resource-fork based plugin or the RBX format. The dylib can
            now simply be put in the plugins folder, and the IDE will
            load it directly. (Feedback ID: mlvgcknb)
            
[Fix] [Car] Plugins: No longer crash the IDE when using a Mach-O plugin
            in a console application. (Feedback ID: saijhvqe,jalcyohs)
            
[Fix] [All] Plugins: Properties that are on class extensions now
            properly work when setting. This also fixes properties such
            as MoviePlayer.Position and MoviePlayer.Volume.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Preferences: Fixed a handful of cosmetic issues in the
            preferences dialog, such as caption fonts, sizes and
            alignment.
            
[Fix] [All] Print, StdOut, StdErr: Now printing UTF-16 characters out
            properly. (Feedback ID: srmfbzlx)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Project List: Changing the name of a folder no longer
            requires that the folder not be named differently than
            existing classes. This is the same behavior as 5.5 and
            prior. (Feedback ID: xepkecfr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Projects: If a project (XML or regular) somehow gets into a
            state in which a control behavior exists, but has no
            matching control, editing code for that window won't throw
            an internal error. This could be caused in certain cases
            from the VB Project Converter. (Feedback ID: evjhhzif)
            
[New] [IDE] Properties List: Color properties now show the appropriate
            color when the value is set to a constant.  For example, if
            you have an accessible constant called "kYellow" defined as
            a yellow color, and you set a color property to "#kYellow",
            then the background of the property value will be filled
            with yellow.
            
[New] [All] Properties: A new type of property is now available.
            Computed properties are a property made of a Get and Set
            pair. They can be added by choosing Add->Custom Property.
            Implementing Get and Set are optional, so you can implement
            either a read-only or write-only property. These properties
            do not have any storage on the instance, but can be viewed
            within the debugger. (Feedback ID: trsqqpbw, mvnwrkdh,
            fsjdniqk)
            
[New] [All] Properties: Now can have default values. The default values
            must be constants. For properties marked as Show in
            Properties Window, the default value will be used when
            placed on a window. Default values are not available for
            computed properties. (Feedback ID: ltwwcuic)
            
[Chg] [IDE] Properties: When editing properties, there are now three
            fields: one for the name, one for the type, and one for the
            default value. The default value field is optional.
            
[New] [All] Random.Gaussian: This new method of the Random class
            returns a number from a Gaussian (i.e. normal) distribution
            with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

            ID: tpwfzadf)
            
[Fix] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Calling Connect when already connected
            just returns True if already connected.
            
[Fix] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Closing a database no longer sets
            FolderItem to nil.
            
[Fix] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Plugged a memory leak that occurred when
            closing a RecordSet.
            
[Fix] [All] RectControl.MouseWheel: Returning true from the MouseWheel
            event no longer causes your application to stay resident in
            memory when App.AutoQuit is true and you close the last
            window. (Feedback ID: lnhpaltd)
            
[Fix] [All] RectControl.MouseWheel: Returning true no longer continues
            to pass the event to the window.
            
[New] [IDE] Remote Debugger: The IDE now supports binding to a specific
            interface for remote debugging.

            things like file transfer status and failure cases.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Remote Debugging: Now works from Mac-to-Mac.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Search Results Editor, Multiple Errors Editor: Now responds
            to the Enter/Return key to bring you to the location
            selected.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Search Results Editor, Multiple Errors Editor, List
            Bindings Dialog: No longer display the Aqua striped
            background lists on Windows.
            
[Fix] [All] ServerSocket: Now returns the proper port information when
            the socket is not yet listening.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Sound Files: System-7 sound files (of file type 'sfil') now
            import correctly. (Feedback ID: twylmwgr)
            
[Fix] [All] StyledText: Calling StyleRunCount or ParagraphCount on a
            StyledText objects not owned by an EditField no longer
            corrupts the data within the StyledText object. (Feedback
            ID: vrujvswf)

            (Feedback ID: qbzidsnz)
            
[Fix] [Win] StyleRun.Font: No longer returns garbage data when the
            owning StyledText objecct is an EditField and you are
            running a Windows NT-based kernel. (Feedback ID: tnihypla)
            
[Fix] [Mac] System.Cursors.Wait: The Wait cursor now uses the watch on
            the Mac instead of the old black-and-white style spinning
            cursor.
            
            Note that it is against the HIG to display this cursor on
            OS X. (Feedback ID: iqyvswmv)
            
[Fix] [All] System.IsFunctionAvailable: Now checks to make sure the
            library name is sane before telling you that a function is
            available. (Feedback ID: knjsoxhp)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] TabPanel: East/West facing tabs are now in their correct
            position. (Feedback ID: eberedcx)
            
[Chg] [IDE] Tabs: No longer overlap when lots of tabs are open.
            Instead, the names become truncated, starting with the
            largest tabs first.
            
[Chg] [IDE] Tabs: When closing a tab, it will take you back to the last
            tab you were on (which is not necessarily the tab that is
            to the left or right of the current one). This means that
            if you run your project and quit the debugged app, the tab
            you will be on will be the same one as when you started
            debugging. (Feedback ID: glviggyu)
            
[New] [All] Target constants: Introduced TargetBigEndian and
            TargetLittleEndian for determining the byte order of the
            system the application is built for.
            
[Fix] [All] TCPSocket: No longer throws a 103 error when trying to get

              MsgBox "La la la"
            end if
            
            Will now throw an exception. (Feedback ID: uifdhyjg)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor Behavior: Properties are now listed properly
            in the Window Editor Behavior dialog. (Feedback ID:
            nduovlsf)
            
[Chg] [IDE] Window Editor: Can now select multiple controls on a window
            using either Shift or Ctrl on Windows and Linux. (Feedback
            ID: fqyagwmn)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Changing properties by varying only case now
            sticks. (Feedback ID: nbiywogt,haotgkrs)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Changing the Super of a control no longer
            causes the IDE to display a "StackOverFlow" exception.
            (Feedback ID: hymemjjs)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Clicking on the next/previous page buttons
            on a page panel twice no longer is recognized as a double
            click. (Feedback ID: nnxehidr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: No longer crashes if the window contains a
            subclass of a ToolbarItem. As a side result, subclasses of
            WordApplication, ExcelApplication, PowerPointApplication,
            SpotlightQuery, and ToolbarItems now all draw with the same
            icon as their superclass. (Feedback ID: bkilslrk)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Now draws the selection handles and
            highlights using the proper colors depending on the OS.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Now gives proper visual feedback when the
            mouse is over a control which can be moved.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Now honoring the parent highlight color
            specified in the preferences dialog.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Now selects the window when you click on the
            title bar (to start a drag, for instance).
            
[Fix] [IDE] Window Editor: Scrollbars around the editing area now
            adjust properly after resizing the IDE window.
            
[New] [All] Window: Added property Focus As RectControl.  Use this to
            get/set the keyboard focus of a control.  If no control has
            the focus, this property is nil.
            
[Fix] [Car] Window: No longer will remain visible if hidden from a
            thread while the app is hidden by the system.
            
[Fix] [All] Window: ShowModal and ShowModalWithin no longer confuse the
            event loop if you call them from a thread.
            
[Fix] [IDE] XML Export: Binary data (such as icon images) is now
            exported as <Hex> nodes, rather than as invalid UTF-8 text
            data. (Feedback ID: kpgdxmzx)
            

2005 Release 1:

[New] [IDE] AcceptFileTypes: New design-time-only property on the
            blessed application subclass called "AcceptFileTypes"
            allows you to specify which file types the Mac build of
            your application will accept via drag-and-drop.  Click the
            "..." button to more easily edit this list.  (This replaces
            the functionality of the "Document Icon" checkbox in older
            versions of REALbasic.)
            
[Fix] [OSX] AddressBook: Accessing values via AddressBookData.Text is
            now just as fast as AddressBookRecord.Value. (Feedback ID:
            shbkeduw)
            
[Fix] [OSX] AddressBook: No longer crashes when getting nil date
            values. (Feedback ID: mmofqqfs)
            
[Fix] [Mac] Apple Events: Can now be used from console applications.
            (Feedback ID: robexgqy)
            
[Chg] [IDE] Application Launch: No longer checks for instances of the
            IDE that are already running.
            
[New] [All] Application subclass: You can now have more than one
            Application subclass.  The most-derived one is the
            "blessed" class, which displays all the build options, is
            automatically instantiated, and is referred to by the App
            function.
            
[New] [All] Application: Added a new event: CancelClose() as Boolean. 
            This fires _before_ all the Window.CancelClose events and
            allows you the chance to cancel the application\'s
            termination.  This event will only fire if the application
            is about to terminate.  Returning true causes the
            termination to immediately halt. (Feedback ID: ceyasesk)
            
[New] [All] Application: Added a new method YieldToNextThread to allow
            the currently executing thread to give up its remaining
            time slice and give a new thread the chance to run.
            
[New] [All] Application: Added CurrentThread as Thread to obtain the
            currently executing thread.  If this is the main thread,
            this property returns nil.
            
[New] [All] Application: Added four new constants for the StageCode
            property.  Developement = 0, Alpha = 1, Beta = 2 and Final
            = 3. (Feedback ID: nckbiyqi)
            
[New] [All] Application.BuildDate: this new read-only Date property
            provides the date and time at which the application was
            built.
            
[New] [All] Application.DoEvents: can now cause a thread to sleep for
            an amount of time with a resolution finer than 16
            milliseconds.
            
[Opt] [All] Arrays: Access time for elements of a two-dimensional array
            has been reduced to less than half the previous time.
            
[New] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes Static, and is aware of
            Static declarations (ie, static Foo as Integer, Foo will
            autocomplete)
            
[New] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocomplete's declares and soft
            declares.
            
[New] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now knows about block-level dims. Items that
            are declared inside of a different block will not
            autocomplete when you do not have access to them.
            
[New] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now works with the new For loop syntax for
            creating identifiers inline. Ie, for i as Integer = 0 to
            100.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] BevelButton: A disabled BevelButton now looks and acts like
            a disabled button. (Feedback ID: vwivpvqw)
            
[New] [All] BinaryStream: Now has two different constructors -- one
            that takes a string, and one that takes a MemoryBlock. 
            This allows you to construct a BinaryStream from these two
            items.\r\rIf a MemoryBlock is used, all BinaryStream
            functions are supported.  If the MemoryBlock was created
            from a declare, then the Length of the BinaryStream will
            always report -1.\r\rIf a String is used, then all
            BinaryStream functions except writing and setting the
            length are supported.
            
[New] [All] BinaryStream: When making a BinaryStream from a
            MemoryBlock, the BinaryStream now automatically resizes the
            underlying memory block for you.
            
[Nte] [IDE] Bindings: terminology has changed.  We now call these
            "visual connections" or sometimes just "connections" when
            the context is clear.
            
[New] [All] Bitwise: BitAnd, BitOr and BitXor now allows more than two
            integer to operate on and returns the progressive results
            of the operation. 
            
[Fix] [All] Bitwise: ShiftLeft and ShiftRight now return 0 if the
            numBits parameter is <= 0.  They also will throw an
            UnsupportedFormatException if numBits > 32.
            
[New] [IDE] Bookmarks: Add Bookmark menu command now lets you choose a
            folder in which to add a global bookmark, or choose to add
            it to your local bookmarks bar.
            
[New] [IDE] Bookmarks: Now saved and restored.  Local bookmarks (in
            your bookmarks bar) are saved with the project; global
            bookmarks are saved in the preferences file.
            
[New] [IDE] Bookmarks: You can now edit your global bookmarks by using
            the "Show All Bookmarks" menu command.  Local bookmarks can
            be edited with the "Customize" command under the Bookmarks
            Bar submenu.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Build Settings Dialog: No longer causes a failed assertion
            on the Windows IDE when selecting the include function
            names compiler option. (Feedback ID: cwdrpqzp)
            
[New] [IDE] Build Settings: These are now presented as properties of
            your Application subclass.  (But note that they are
            actually stored with the project, so even if you delete
            your Application subclass and create a new one, the
            settings will remain intact.)
            
[Opt] [OSX] Built Apps: Now use 0% of processor time when there are no
            items needing to be polled, and a reduced amount in other
            cases.
            
[Nte] [N/A] Calling System.IsFunctionAvailable or using a soft declare
            will cache both the library loading code as well as the
            function pointer itself.  So multiple calls to the same
            function suffer almost no overhead costs when compared to
            regular declare calls.
            
[Chg] [All] CancelClose: When the application is quitting, cancelclose
            and close are called as a pair for each open window. 
            Previously every windows cancelclose event was called and
            if none of them canceled every close event was called. 
            This change brings applications made with REALbasic more in
            line with other applications from other vendors.
            
[New] [Win] Canvas: Added a new property EraseBackground as Boolean. 
            This property specifies whether the user wants us to erase
            the entire canvas when doing operations like resizing.  It
            defaults to true for backwards compatibility and the flag
            currently only affects Win32 code since that is the only
            platform we erase the background on.\r\rIf the canvas has
            no code in its Paint event, we ignore this property and
            never erase the background (since the canvas will never be
            painted).
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Canvas: Now clears the focus from previous control when the
            canvas gains focus.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Canvas: Now clips properly when getting the graphics and
            drawing a picture on it. (Feedback ID: rtsbgnmd)
            
[Fix] [All] Canvas: REALbasic applications will no longer crash in
            certain obscure situations.  Once such situation follows:
            if you have code in your mouse up of your canvas control
            and the user clicks and holds on the canvas while pressing
            the menu shortcut keys for quitting the application (e.g.
            Cmd-Q) (Feedback ID: kweregsg)
            
[Fix] [All] Canvas: Setting the visibility no longer causes the Canvas
            to redraw when the canvas is already visible.
            
[Dep] [All] ChasingArrows: Deprecated the ChasingArrows control. 
            Please use the ProgressWheel control instead.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] ClearFocus: ClearFocus and Window.SetFocus now properly
            removes the focus from any control that had it.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Clipboard: Adding a picture to the clipboard no longer
            clobbers the text on the clipboard.  Adding MacData now
            works properly (no longer converts the data to UTF8).
            
[Dep] [All] Clipboard: Deprecated MacDataAvailable, please use
            RawDataAvailable instead.  Deprecated MacData, please use
            RawData instead.  Deprecated AddMacData, please use
            AddRawData instead.
            
[Fix] [Win] Clipboard: Now properly sets and gets binary "MacData"
            without running into issues with null bytes. (Feedback ID:
            skrdoqqw)
            
[Opt] [IDE] Code Editor: Now much faster with longer methods for both
            loading and typing.
            
[Afi] [IDE] Code Editor: Some items that previously wouldn't
            autocomplete, such as MemoryBlock.Long, now do.
            
            
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Now fires the TextChanged event before firing the
            Changed event when the combo box's selection changes (so
            the behavior is the same as the Mac). (Feedback ID:
            xnmltqxx)
            
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Now gets a MouseDown message when any part of the
            ComboBox is clicked, not just when the thumb is clicked.
            (Feedback ID: xswubwnb)
            
[New] [All] ComboBox: Now has UseFocusRing as a design-time property
            (Feedback ID: ayobfjwy)
            
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Setting the text via code, and getting it back,
            now returns the same text, instead of the text of the
            previous selection. (Feedback ID: izrttnvq)
            
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Text no longer gets cropped, allowing you to edit
            longer lines that do not fit within the combobox bounds.
            (Feedback ID: jyoebvqe)
            
[New] [Mac] Combobox: The combobox now autocompletes (aka type-ahead),
            turn on the "AutoComplete" property to enable.  NOTE: as of
            6.0a8 this is only implemented on the Mac, but we do plan
            to add this for Windows/Linux as well. (Feedback ID:
            noyrbfeb)
            
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: The Window containing the ComboBox no longers
            gets a KeyDown event when typing in the editable portion of
            the control.
            
[Dep] [All] Compiler Constants: Deprecated TargetPPC, please use
            TargetMacOSClassic instead.  Deprecated Target68K without
            replacement.
            
[New] [All] Compiler: A class can now implement the And, Or, and Not
            operators using methods named Operator_And,
            Operator_AndRight, Operator_Or, Operator_OrRight, and
            Operator_Not. Operator_Not accepts no parameters, and the
            others accept a single parameter of any type; all of these
            methods must return a value.
            
[Chg] [All] Compiler: All methods are virtual now. Overriding works the
            same way for methods of intrinsic classes as it does for
            methods of classes in your project. (Feedback ID:
            jvotjpbh)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Applications are built next to their projects
            instead of next to the IDE.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Compiler builds applications using the names
            specified in the build settings instead of calling
            everything "RB6 App".
            
[Fix] [Mac] Compiler: Compiler no longer fails an assertion at
            CGPPC:3120 when compiling certain absurdly large methods.
            (Feedback ID: ulncjjqr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Compiler now reports errors using text strings
            instead of code numbers.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Compiling a line that contains many
            multiplication operations (or mod, or integer division
            operations), no longer corrupts the result.  This fix only
            affects Windows/Linux builds. (Feedback ID: ntiquwfr)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Compiler: Console apps are now built with no type or
            creator code, so the Finder now recognizes that they are
            not Mac apps and launches them in the Terminal instead.
            (Feedback ID: cnznotwy)
            
[Fix] [Mac] Compiler: Exceptions no longer fail to pass up the stack
            through a method that declares no variables. (Feedback ID:
            tsvqrgsb)
            
[IDE] [All] Compiler: File system errors are now reported with a dialog
            box instead of a silent failure.
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Finally block no longer fails to execute whenever
            the exception was not handled by a Catch or Exception block
            at the same level (try block or method). (Feedback ID:
            zhzdvnsr)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Fixed a boolean comparison bug for Windows/Linux
            builds. (Feedback ID: sxcjwpqm)
            
[Opt] [IDE] Compiler: If you have any plugins in your Plugins folder,
            they will now be prepared as needed. This will reduce
            compile times for projects that use plugins. The plugins
            will be prepared again when the contents of the Plugins
            folder changes, or with new versions of REALbasic.
            
[Chg] [All] Compiler: Intrinsic type names Integer, String, Boolean,
            Single, Double, and Color are no longer reserved keywords.
            
[Fix] [Win] Compiler: Methods that contain no reference-counted
            variables no longer fail to propagate exceptions down the
            stack.
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Methods which are identical except that one has a
            parameter declared with ParamArray, and the other has a
            corresponding parameter declared as an array of the same
            element type, no longer cause ambiguous-overloading errors.
            (Feedback ID: kemgrjlo)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: New "Static" option lets you declare local
            variables whose values persist between method invocations.
            Syntax is the same as the Dim statement; just use Static
            instead.
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: No longer reports error #22 (identifier already
            declared) for every implementation of a control array
            event. (Feedback ID: qkgpvddd)
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: No longer throws failed assertions if a class has
            the same name as an intrinsic data type. (Feedback ID:
            zqmnjixw)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Now complains when you try to do silly things
            like have classes with the same name as a data type (such
            as a class named CFStringRef or Short).
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Now reports an error when two methods in the same
            class declare identical signatures.  (Feedback ID:
            ygajwnuy)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: Now supports module methods and global methods
            defined in plugins.
            
[Opt] [Mac] Compiler: PowerPC backend produces better code (more
            aggressive caching of local values in nonvolatile registers
            across method calls).
            
[New] [All] Compiler: RB now supports an exponentiation operator, using
            the caret character \'^\'. Its precedence is higher than
            negation but lower than IsA or the dot operator. (Feedback
            ID: eaasnaju)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: Reports a more useful error message when a new
            class tries to reuse the name of an existing class ("This
            name is already in use" instead of "Multiple inheritance is
            not allowed", which made no sense at all).
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: String constants can once again contain line
            breaks. (Feedback ID: fxgzkxug)
            
[Chg] [All] Compiler: Temporary storage used during a Dim statement to
            initialize an new variable is now released immediately;
            this way objects which might otherwise not have been
            destroyed til the end of the method will now be destroyed
            closer to the point where the last explicit reference is
            released. (Feedback ID: lgynrrfl)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: The compiler no longer fails an assertion at
            FunctionCalls.cpp:824 when passing no arguments to a method
            that has both an optional parameter and a ParamArray.
            (Feedback ID: ssdqixiq)
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: The compiler no longer includes global methods in
            the search list when you qualify a method call with the
            owning module's name. (Feedback ID: iprshijx)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: The Dim statement is now legal anywhere in a
            method. Variables declared inside a statement block go out
            of scope at the end of the block. (Feedback ID: xhbwkvvn)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Compiler: The Mac OS X 10.2.8 dock no longer rejects
            dragged-in Mach-O applications built with REALbasic.
            (Feedback ID: jkkqfdow)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Compiler: The PkgInfo file now goes inside the Contents
            directory instead of the root of a Mach-O application
            bundle. (Feedback ID: fcfgrzcr)
            
[Fix] [All] Compiler: When a class implements an interface method
            declaration with a private method, and a subclass does not
            provide its own implementation for that method declaration,
            casting the subclass to the interface type and calling the
            method no longer causes a crash. (Feedback ID: hmdrnlug)
            
[New] [All] Compiler: When using "multiple errors" mode, the compiler
            no longer stops after the first syntax error.
            
[Fix] [OSX] Composite Windows: ClearRect now longer erases to white but
            erases to show what is underneath (i.e. metal window,
            background picture, controls, etc.) (Feedback ID:
            ixpjfcrh)
            
[New] [IDE] Connections: existing projects with connections (formerly
            known as bindings) can now be loaded and compile
            correctly.
            
[New] [IDE] Connections: may be established between a control and its
            window.  Do this by selecting just one control, then
            clicking the Connect button.  Note that there are currently
            no built-in connections which apply to a control and a
            window, but you could write some yourself.
            
[New] [IDE] Connections: new visual connections can be created by
            selecting two controls and clicking the "Connect" button in
            the window editor toolbar.  (You may need to configure the
            toolbar to have this button.)
            
[Nte] [IDE] Connections: visual connections are drawn in the window
            editor, but they are not selectable.  Use the "List
            Connections" command bar button to see the descriptions or
            delete a connection.
            
[New] [IDE] Connections: You can list all the visual connections on a
            window using the "List Connections" button on the window
            editor toolbar (you may need to configure the toolbar to
            have this button).  You can also use this dialog to delete
            an existing connection.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Console Application: Can now add HTTPSocket, SMTPSocket, et
            al from a console application. (Feedback ID: kwjrysui)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Console Applications: No longer generating
            kCGErrorRangeCheck warnings to be written out to the
            console when executing the application as a user who is not
            currently logged in. (Feedback ID: redzhjad)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Console Applications: No longer rely on GDK (gdk-x11-2.0),
            GLib (gmodule-2.0, glib-2.0) or CUPS (libcups).
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Console Applications: Removed dependancy on CUPS for
            console applications since you can\'t print.
            
[New] [IDE] Console Applications: You can now open old projects with
            console applications and build them.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Constants editor: In the Windows IDE, typing a \'j\' in the
            Value editfield no longer closes the dialog. (Feedback ID:
            lwasmqjf)
            
[Chg] [All] ContainerControl: Renamed EmbeddableWindow to
            ContainerControl.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Contextual Menu: Opening a contextual menu no longer hogs
            all (or most) of the CPU.
            
[Fix] [Win] Contextual Menus: We now fire a MouseDown event when a
            contextual menu key is fired (either Shift+F10 or the
            Contextual Key on some PC keyboards) and set IsCMMClick to
            true. (Feedback ID: peammots)
            
[Dep] [All] ContextualMenu: Deprecated UseCMM, please use UseMacCMM
            instead.
            
[Fix] [Win] ContextualMenu: The string that is returned, as a parameter
            from the Action event, now has its encoding set properly.
            
[New] [All] Control Locking: LockLeft, LockTop, LockLeft, and LockRight
            now apply to the parent control instead of the window. 
            This means that if you lock a control to a tabpanel for
            example and the tabpanel resizes the embedded controls will
            also resize
            
[New] [IDE] Controls List: You can now add custom controls or
            embeddable windows directly to another window, using the
            new popup above the controls list.  NOTE:  You must add the
            items as project items before you can add them to the
            window.
            
[Fix] [Mac] Controls: Certain controls, such as the Separator and
            BevelButton, no longer cause crashes in certain, rare cases
            where one window is closing and another window containing
            these controls was being created.
            
[Fix] [Win] Controls: Controls no longer disappear if that control is
            embedded on an indexed control (part of a control array),
            and that indexed control is on top of another control, and
            so on and so forth... (Feedback ID: zrgjpmrp)
            
[Fix] [All] Controls: Controls no longer retain pointers to their
            owning windows after closing. This would cause a crash if a
            control was destroyed after its owning window, which might
            occur if some other object held a reference to the control.
            (Feedback ID: qcxorlzx)
            
[Chg] [Win] Controls: No longer have their action event fired when they
            are right-clicked on (this change excludes the
            ContextualMenu, which will still fire its Action event when
            a menu it selected).  This change allows Win32 applications
            to behave as expected. (Feedback ID: zyklpgbu)
            
[Fix] [Win] Controls: Now have their MouseUp event fired after
            displaying a ContextualMenu (assuming you returned True
            from the MouseDown event).
            
[Fix] [IDE] Control.Close/EmbeddableWindow.Close: No longer causes
            crashes in some cases.
            
[Fix] [Win] ConvertEncoding: Converting a string to ASCII now works
            properly, instead of converting it to Windows Latin-1.
            
[Nte] [All] CriticalSections: Note that you can shoot yourself in the
            foot with a CriticalSection by calling Enter on a thread,
            suspending another thread by having it call Enter as well,
            and then having the first thread set the CriticalSection to
            nil because the CriticalSection will never actually be
            destroyed.  This is because the second thread still holds a
            reference to it.  Be sure to call CriticalSection.Leave
            before you nil the object out!
            
[Fix] [Lnx] CStr, Str, Format: Number to string conversion now works
            properly for all locales. (Feedback ID: wrdjszuy)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Daemonized Applications: No longer crash when calling Len
            on a string with a nil encoding.
            
[New] [All] Database: Added Function IndexSchema( tableName As String)
            As RecordSet to the Database class.  It takes a TableName
            as a parameter, and returns a RecordSet containing the list
            of indexes for that table, or nil if the database backend
            does not support indexes
            
[New] [All] DatabaseField: Added Operator_Convert to String, Date,
            Integer, Double, and Boolean.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Database: Getting a  date/time/timestamp value from a
            database now returns the correct value. (Feedback ID:
            qokmepyv)
            
[Fix] [All] DatabaseQuery: Data retrieved from the DatabaseQuery
            control now properly handles encodings (for database
            plugins that properly implement the new string database
            field type).
            
[New] [All] Datagram: Now has a Port property that allows you to
            specify which port the packet should be sent to when using
            .Write.  If the port property is left at 0, then we send to
            the same port that you are locally bound to.\r\rWhen
            reading Datagrams in, the Port property specifies the port
            that the datagram was sent from on the remote machine.
            (Feedback ID: dungbjlg)
            
[Fix] [Win] Date: Now clearing the millisecond precision when
            excplicitly setting the seconds field.
            
[Fix] [Win] Date: Now works properly on the fringe cases when doing
            date math (such as causing the minutes to be exactly 60).
            (Feedback ID: etdtpgwj)
            
[New] [OSX] Date: On Mac OS X 10.3 and later, LongDate, ShortDate,
            AbbreviatedDate, ShortTime, and LongTime will now return
            strings based on the user\'s locale even if the user\'s
            locale is an Unicode only locale.
            
[Fix] [Win] Date: WeekOfYear now returns proper information instead of
            sometimes being off by one.\r\rAnd to recap what the
            documentation doesn\'t state, this property returns the
            calendar week of the year in a 1-based form.  So if Jan 1
            falls on a Sat, then Jan 2 is the 2nd week of the year.

[IDE] [All] Debugger: Debug versions of applications are once again
            named specially so they don't overwrite the release
            versions.
            
[IDE] [All] Debugger: Debugger once again cleans up after itself by
            deleting .debug versions of apps
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: No longer runs uncontrollably when trying to
            debug an EasyTCPSocket or EasyUDPSocket object. 
            
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: The "current line" arrow no longer points to the
            line after the current point of execution when the debugger
            responds to a Break statement or exception.
            
[New] [IDE] Debugger: When you pause a running application that is
            idling in the event loop, it now pauses immediately instead
            of waiting until the next time an event fires.
            
[New] [IDE] Declares: Added three new data types for use with Declares
            only: UShort for an unsigned 16-bit integer, Byte for a
            signed 8-bit integer, and UByte for an unsigned 8-bit
            integer.
            
[New] [All] Declares: Can now pass "Nil" to a declare parameter of type
            Ptr.  Note that passing Nil is not the same as passing a
            nil MemoryBlock.  The former is a constant and the latter
            requires a conversion operation at run time.  If the
            MemoryBlock is nil, then the conversion operator will
            generate a NilObjectException.  However, this isn\'t a
            problem when passing the constant Nil as no conversion is
            needed. (Feedback ID: esgmuypg)
            
[New] [All] Declares: Can now soft-link (also known as weak-link)
            declares using the new keyword "Soft".  Ie)\r\rSoft Declare
            Function Foo Lib "Bar" () as Integer\r\rIf the function
            cannot be loaded, then trying to call the function will
            raise a FunctionNotFound exception.\r\rThis provides you
            with the ability to weak-link functions that are resolved
            at runtime instead of at launch time for your application.
            (Feedback ID: fijdrbur)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Declares: Can now use LibraryName.Framework as the Lib
            string when making Mach-O declares.
            
[New] [All] Declares: Now have two new automatic types: WString and
            CFString.\r\rYou can use these two new types when making
            declares that would need a wchar_t * or CFStringRef
            (respectively).  Their usage is the same as with CString,
            and all data is cleaned up when appropriate (meaning that
            we call CFRelease on the string when it goes out of scope).
            (Feedback ID: giisinzy)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Declares: Now properly resolve declares that use an
            absolute path to the library and the library is a symbolic
            link.
            
[Chg] [IDE] Declares: Renamed the special declare type CFString to
            CFStringRef so we don\'t break a lot of code.
            
[New] [All] Declares: You can now pass nil in place of a CString,
            WString, CFStringRef or PString.
            
[Fix] [All] Declare: You can now use WindowPtr for declares on Windows
            and Linux as well as Mac.
            
[Fix] [All] DefineEncoding: no longer modifies the encoding of the
            source string in rare cases (i.e. when there is only one
            reference to the source string). (Feedback ID: upzgkisu)
            
[New] [All] Dictionary: A new method Lookup has been provided. Its
            signature is "Lookup( key as Variant, defaultValue as
            Variant ) as Variant". If the key isn't found, the
            defaultValue parameter that is passed in will be returned.
            If the key is found, the correspoding value will be
            returned. (Feedback ID: hdkvvhag)
            
[Fix] [Win] DisclosureTriangle: Now centered vertically on Windows and
            Linux, just like the Mac.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] DisclosureTriangle: Now draws transparently so the
            background shows through.
            
[New] [IDE] Document windows: now keep track of when they have been
            modified, and when you close the last one for a particular
            document, you are prompted to save changes.
            
[Fix] [Win] Drag & Drop: Dragging and dropping a file that contains
            unicode characters on non-NT Windows, now has the correct
            encoding set.
            
[Chg] [Win] Drag & Drop: No longer deletes text from editfield when
            dragging from editfield to another control (except when
            dropping text on to another editfield, in which case, hold
            down the Ctrl key to complete a copy operation). (Feedback
            ID: ljtugplv)

            PrivateRawData instead.
            
[Fix] [All] DragItem: DropLeft and DropTop now return proper values
            relative to the control, rather than relative to the
            window. (Feedback ID: hwhajddw)
            
[Fix] [Win] DrawPicture: Drawing a 24-bit picture with mask now works
            properly.
            
[New] [All] EasyTCPSocket: Added a timeout parameter (the timeout is in
            seconds) to WaitForMessage to allow you a graceful way to
            stop waiting for a particular message.
            
[Fix] [All] EasyTCPSocket: No longer fires messages in the incorrect
            order (or drops message altogether).  This would only occur
            if two messages came in real quickly with the same command
            id.
            
[Chg] [All] EasyTCPSocket: WaitForConnection\'s timeout parameter is
            now specified in seconds (instead of ticks) to be
            compatible with HTTPSocket\'s timeout parameters.
            
[Fix] [All] EditField: Can now use a mask for Uppercase and Lowercase
            that works.

[New] [IDE] Embeddable Windows: Windows that are visually embedded on a
            form now draw themselves in the window/form editor.
            
[Fix] [All] EmbeddableWindow: EmbeddableWindows no longer ignorant of
            intended parent controls.
            
[New] [All] EmbeddableWindow: EmbedWithin can now take a control as its
            second parameter (instead of a window).  The
            embeddablewindow will embed on the control\'s window with
            the given control as the parent.  Left and Top are parent
            control relative. Using the window version of embedwithin
            will now always set nil as the parent.   If the
            embeddableWindow is embedded on a pagepanel or a tabpanel
            it is embedded on the current page.  For embedding on a
            pagepanel or tabpanel we suggest you use "EmbedWithinPanel"
            instead.  \r\rSyntax

[New] [All] EmbeddableWindow: Parent and Window properties added to
            embeddable window.  Parent gives the enclosing control, and
            Window gives the enclosing window.  If embeddedWindows are
            nested you may have to call window several times to get the
            topmost window.
            
[New] [All] EmbeddableWindow: You can now embed a window on a specific
            page of a page panel or tabpanel.  For this you would use
            EmbedWithinPanel.\r\rSyntax:\rEmbeddableWindow.EmbedWithinPanel ContainingPanel, Page [,left] [,top] [,width] [,height]


[New] [All] EmbeddableWindow: You can now embed one window in another. 
            This is very useful if you want to dock windows, or create
            custom controls that are made up of other controls.  Make
            sure the window\'s super is set to embeddableWindow.  There
            are some minor but key differences between embeddable
            windows and regular windows.\r1. EmbeddableWindows do not
            auto-instantiate.  You must create them with new, just like
            any other object\r2. The open event for the window and its
            controls do not fire until it is actually embedded (Call
            EmbedWindow), or shown as a independant window
            (ShowAsWindow, ShowModal, ShowWithin, ShowModalWithin, note
            Show will just change the embeddableWindows visibility it
            will neither embed it or show it as a stand-alone
            window).\r3. All the controls and the window properties
            (with the exception of handle exist in the constructor and
            after).  This allows you to change the frame type of the
            window after its created but before its shown.\r4. You can
            add new events to these windows (this may not be available
            in RB6a1 IDE) so that you can use them to create custom
            controls.\r5. Some events, properties, and methods of the
            window class do not do anything if in embedded mode (e.g.
            minimize event)\r6. Menu Handlers on the embeddableWindow
            are installed on the containing window (overwriting
            existing ones) unless the embeddableWindows acceptFocus
            property is set to true in which case they are installed on
            the embeddedWindowControl.\rNew Methods of

[Fix] [All] EncodeURLComponent: Now correctly encodes to the
            specification. Previously certain characters may not have
            been encoded. (Feedback ID: josgyqqc,owpbmddu)
            
[Fix] [All] Exceptions: Exposed the ThreadAlreadyRunningException so
            that you can handle exceptions of this type.  You could get
            this exception previously when trying to set the stack size
            of a thread which is already running, but you had no way to
            catch this exception without a generic exception block.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Exporting: Exporting an external item no longer creates a
            file that contains a reference to the original item.
            Instead, it exports the actual item instead. (Feedback ID:
            zolrqejm)
            
[Kis] [IDE] External Items: May get confused about which folder they're
            supposed to be in if you have two projects open that share
            an external item, and then move that item to a different
            location in one project. (Feedback ID: gazqffcc)
            
[New] [IDE] Favorites Bar: now configurable like the other toolbars,
            except that for "Available Items" you will see
            recently-visited locations in the current project.
            
[Chg] [Win] File I/O: No longer setting the write sharing flag when
            opening a file up.  This means that you cannot open the
            same file for writing at the same time.  Note that you can
            open up the same file for reading at the same time still.
            
[Fix] [Mac] FileTypes: The file extension is now always a factor in
            determing whether to allow opening of files in the
            openDialog.  Previously the file extension was only
            considered if the MacType was unknown.
            
[New] [IDE] Find: now searches properties of menus, menu items, and
            controls.
            
[Fix] [Win] Floating Windows: Can no longer get hidden behind the MDI
            window frame if their parent was a plain box which is
            hidden or closed. (Feedback ID: dusmkmwn)
            
[Fix] [Car] Focus: If the focus is changed as a result of a tab in your
            application, activating and deactivating the window will
            remember the correct focus control.  NOTE: Controls which
            have the focus as a result of full keyboard access aren\'t
            restored as a result of a activate/deactivate. (Feedback
            ID: ewruumbp)
            
[New] [All] FolderItem: Added the ability to get and set the Owner and
            Group for a FolderItem.  Note that this does not work on
            file systems which do not support the concept of owner and
            groups (such as any file system on Windows, or Classic).
            
[New] [All] FolderItem: Added the ability to get and set the
            permissions of a FolderItem.  You can get the Permissions
            as an Integer (the octal set of permissions), as well as
            set as an Integer.  You can also set via the Permissions
            class (tho you cannot directly retrieve a Permissions
            object from a FolderItem to prevent aliasing problems like
            you would see with the Date class).  Note that this does
            not work on Windows or Classic. (Feedback ID: vvuywern)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] FolderItem: Alias now reports proper information about
            symbolic links.
            
[Fix] [Win] FolderItemDialog: Now displays better explanatory text with
            the file extension filter.
            
[Fix] [Mac] FolderItemDialog: Now removes the ampersand used for
            keyboard mnemonics from the button captions on the Mac.
            (Feedback ID: nbtzwipk)
            
[Chg] [Lnx] FolderItemDialog: Now uses the new file dialogs if
            available (requires at least GTK+ 2.4), which supports file
            filters.
            
[Fix] [Mac] FolderItemDialog: Now, previews for files are show in the
            preview pane, as they were in 4.5 and earlier. (Feedback
            ID: kjxhuljw)
            
[Fix] [Win] FolderItemDialogs: Now using the new style dialog box on
            Windows 2000 and up instead of the older styled box.
            (Feedback ID: ugnngkdq)
            
[New] [Win] FolderItem: ExtensionVisible now returns the proper value
            on Win32 systems that support hiding file extensions.  Note
            that this is a global flag on Windows -- it doesn\'t
            pertain on a file-by-file basis.  So if it is true for one
            FolderItem, it is true for all FolderItems on Windows.
            
[Fix] [OSX] FolderItem: Moving a file to another folder with a rename
            no longer fails if the folder already has a file with the
            same name as the source file\'s original name. (Feedback
            ID: yezkcwtj)
            
[New] [All] FolderItem: New "URLPath" accessor which returns a URL that
            can be passed to ShowURL or other items requiring URLs.
            
[Fix] [Mac] FolderItem: Now returns proper ShellPath information for
            root volumes on all systems, not just a lucky few systems
            such as mine. (Feedback ID: zbcstsqr)
            
[Fix] [OSX] FolderItem: Now returns ShellPath with octal-encoded
            escaped characters if the character is a non-ascii value.
            
[Fix] [OSX] FolderItem: Trying to construct a FolderItem from a
            completely invalid shell path now returns nil from
            GetFolderItem or throws an exception from new FolderItem
            instead of crashing. (Feedback ID: sjxcxbph)
            
[Fix] [OSX] FolderItem: Using CopyFileTo and MoveFileTo now preserve
            permission information. (Feedback ID: jlpzzuvx)
            
[New] [All] FolderItem, Serial, SocketCore, et al: All classes that
            have an ErrorCode property to them now have the constant
            NoError to signify that no error has occurred. (Feedback
            ID: dookcvmb)
            
[New] [All] FolderItem.Launch: New method Launch( parameters as string,
            [activate as boolean]), where "parameters" is the
            application parameters to pass to the launched app (Windows
            and Linux), and the optional activate parameter specifies
            whether the application should be launched in the
            foreground or background.\r
            
[Fix] [Lnx] FolderItem.OpenAsPicture: Loading JPGs, PNGs, TIFFs, GIFs,
            or XBMs no longer throw assertion messages (when running in
            the terminal), which may have crashed some apps.
            
[New] [All] FolderItem.OpenAsVirtualVolume: Now works even when the
            virtual volume file is locked or on a read-only volume
            (though of course, the virtual volume will then be
            read-only as well).
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Fonts: All fonts now render properly.
            
[New] [All] For loops: Can now declare a variable on the loop using the
            syntax:\r\rfor VariableName As VariableType = ...\ror\rfor
            each VariableName as VariableType in ...
            
[New] [IDE] Form Editor: Controls list now shows icons, and also allows
            you to select among several different sets of controls to
            choose from.
            
[Fix] [Win] Four Char Codes: Are now returned in the proper endian
            format instead of always assuming big endian.  This fixes
            things like the Mac creator code of an application built
            for the Mac using the Windows IDE being swapped.
            
[Fix] [Win] Framecolor: Now returns the proper frame color (as the OS
            reports it) on Windows. (Feedback ID: urigivnx)
            
[Fix] [Mac] GetFolderItem: No longer returns the parent folder for PEF
            applications when you have a folder named Support Files
            next to the application. (Feedback ID: wynukuxu)
            
[New] [All] GetFolderItem/New FolderItem: Now accepts a new constant
            FolderItem.PathTypeURL in the optional PathType parameter.
            When passed this constant, GetFolderItem will attempt to
            interpret the path as a URL. It must begin with
            "file:///".
            
[IDE] [New] Go To Location: Now works even when the Location toolbar
            item is hidden or otherwise not available, by displaying a
            sheet or dialog where you can enter a location.
            
[Opt] [OSX] Graphics: DrawPicture is faster when using Quartz for
            repeated drawing of the same image when the image hasn't
            changed. This in turn makes the IDE's form editor much
            faster on OS X.
            
[New] [All] Graphics: Drawstring function now has an optional
            "condense" boolean property that when used in conjunction
            with the width property will shorten the inter-character
            spacing and add an elipses if necessary to  the string
            being displayed.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Graphics: DrawString, StringWidth and StringHeight no
            longer leaks memory. (Feedback ID: kygzdzkq)
            
[New] [All] Graphics: Graphics.StringDirection will attempt to
            determine the predominant drawing direction that string
            characters will draw.  If the user passes an empty string
            it will return the system default string direction.  If
            REALbasic doesn\'t support this function on this platform
            or the system can not determine it, the function will
            return TextDirectionUnknown (or -1), otherwise it will
            return TextDirectionLeftToRight (or 0) or
            TextDirectionRightToLeft (or 1).  This function can be
            useful when dealing with text from the Middle East.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Graphics: No longer leaks memory when getting the graphics
            property of a control.
            
[Opt] [OSX] Graphics.DrawPicture: Now significantly faster in many
            cases when using Quartz (UseOldRenderer = false)
            
[New] [IDE] Help Menu: Three new commands allow quick access to PDF
            documents found either in the same folder as the IDE, or in
            a subfolder called "Documentation."  If a document is not
            found, you'll be told the expected name and location, and
            be given the opportunity to visit our downloads page.
            
[New] [IDE] History Menu: Now keeps the location for each window
            separate rather than mixing them all together.
            
[IDE] [New] History Menu: Now updates when a project item, method, or
            control is renamed.
            
[Fix] [All] HTTPSecureSocket: Fixed a bug that could sometimes return
            only part of a page when using the HTTPSecureSocket on
            Windows when CPU usage was high or the machine was slow.

[New] [All] HTTPSocket: HTTPSocket adds HTTPStatusCode function to
            return the resulting code from the server.  This function
            can provide the status code when the socket is used in
            synchronous mode.
            
[Fix] [All] HTTPSocket: HTTPSocket no longer sends post content data
            when performing a GET. (Feedback ID: yuyrsmrc)
            
[New] [All] HTTPSocket: HTTPSocket provides a PageHeaders function
            which provides access to the headers received from the
            server.  This can be used to access the headers in
            synchronous mode.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Icon Editor: Clear All Icons, Clear Icon, and Paste Icon
            actions are now an undoable actions
            
[New] [IDE] Icon Editor: Importing an Icon is now undoable
            
[New] [IDE] Icons: Now supports building win32 Icons in RB6.  It now
            supports 32bit icons in addition to 8bit, and supports
            icons of width 16, 32, and now 48.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Icons: You can view and edit your app icons.  You can
            import from .icns (Mac Only), .ico files and picture files.
             You can export to .icns and .ico files.  You can zoom in

[New] [IDE] Import command: The Import menu command (or dragging of
            files into the project list) now works, though currently
            only picture and sound files are detected as such;
            everything else imports as a raw-data file.\r
            
[New] [All] Internet Standards: Added optional encoding parameters to
            DecodeURLComponent, DecodeBase64, and
            DecodeQuotedPrintable. The behavior for not passing in an
            encoding has not changed and will continue to return a
            nil-encoded string. If you pass in an encoding, it will
            have the same effect as calling DefineEncoding() on the
            resulting string.
            
[Fix] [All] Internet Standards: EncodeURLComponent, EncodeBase64, and
            EncodeQuotedPrintable all now return ASCII encoded strings.

[Fix] [All] Intrinsic Functions: Window (the function, not the class)
            and WindowCount no longer report information about a window
            which is in the process of closing (which would generally

            Cmd+Shift+Left/Right Arrow.
            
[New] [All] Keyboard: Added AlternateMenuShortcutKey and
            AsyncAlternateMenuShortcutKey so you can test the proper

[New] [All] Keyboard: Added MenuShortcutKey and AsyncMenuShortcutKey so
            you can test the proper menu shortcut modifier key on all

            Deprecated OptionKey and AsyncOptionKey
            
[Fix] [Win] Keyboard: Getting the non-async state of keyboard modifiers
            is no longer asynchronous when out-pacing the event loop.
            
[Fix] [Win] Keyboard: No longer reports a keyname for keycode 0x51
            since there is no such key as a numeric pad = on Windows

[New] [All] Language: New "Optional" keyword lets you make a parameter
            optional without specifying a default value. This modifier
            precedes the parameter name, like ByRef or ByVal. If the
            caller omits this parameter, it will receive the standard
            initial value for its type.
            
[New] [All] Language: Select Case block now allows "Case Else" as a
            synonym for "Else".
            
[New] [All] Language: Variables declared on Exception and Catch
            statements now live inside the block\'s scope instead of
            inside the method scope. This means multiple Catch blocks
            at the same level can use the same exception variable name.

            users won\'t be able to unselect the last row by clicking
            below the last visible row or by dragging.  You can still
            unselect the last item by setting the listindex to -1
            
[Fix] [All] Listbox: All columns have the same default text indent.

[Chg] [All] Listbox: Listbox cellbackgroundpaint and default grid lines
            now draw into the virtual cell space below and to the right
            of the actual cell data.  This can be used to draw stripes
            in background even when no list data is visible.  As such
            you will need to check row and column to make sure they are
            in bounds before accessing data in CellBackgroundPaint. 
            There is currently no user option to turn virtual row
            painting on/off.  CellClick and CellTextPaint do not work
            with virtual cells.

            You can still override this as always in a subclass.  In
            order for this to work you have to have the selection type
            set to multiple
            
[Fix] [Win] Listbox: Now handles focus row selection properly on

            keys.  Now properly shifts the focus instead of just the
            view.
            
[New] [All] Listbox: Now handles the copy menu command.  It will copy
            any data from the listbox to the clipboard.  Column data is
            separated by tabs, row data is separated by platform
            specific new lines.
            
[Fix] [All] ListBox: Now scrolls properly even if a scrollbar isn\'t
            present. This can occur via keypresses such as Page Up,
            Page Down, End, Home, the arrow keys, and the mouse wheel.

[New] [All] Listbox.Cell: -1 is now a valid value to use on
            listbox.cell.  It acts as a wild card and means every row,
            or every column depending on which position in cell its
            used.\r\rWhen setting you can use it in conjunction with
            out of bounds data and it will create the row or column for
            you.\r\re.g. You could add all columns of the next row at
            once with:\r\rme.cell(me.lastindex, -1) =
            myTabDelimitedRow\r
            
[New] [All] Listbox.DragReorderRows: A second parameter, parentRow, is
            now passed to the DragReorderRows event.  This gives you
            the row number of the parent folder in the case of a drag
            within a hierarchical listbox.  As with the newPosition
            parameter, the row numbers are adjusted for the assumption
            that all selected rows will be deleted.  A value of -1
            indicates a drop at the root level of the listbox (i.e., no
            parent row).

[New] [All] Max and Min: now allow more than two parameters, and return
            the maximum and minimum (respectively) of all parameters
            given.
            
[New] [IDE] Maximize Editor mode: Now remembers the position of the
            splitters in the window and code editor (as global
            preferences).
            
[New] [IDE] Maxmimze Editor: This new command under the View menu hides
            all the toolbars, and also shrinks down the side panels of
            the window or code editor, maximizing the space you have to
            work on actual content.  Use the command again (now called
            "Restore Editor") to put everything back to normal.
            
[New] [All] MemoryBlock: Added a new method called WString that allows
            you to get and set WStrings (UTF-16 strings) that are null
            terminated in a MemoryBlock.

            unknown encoding instead of ASCII. (Feedback ID: poijvfea)
            
[Fix] [All] MemoryBlock: MemoryBlocks created by addition or via the
            Left, Right, and Mid methods no longer leak their content
            buffers.
            
[Fix] [All] MemoryBlock: MemoryBlocks now compare against nil
            differently by checking the data wrapped by the MemoryBlock
            to see if it is nil as well.
            
            This means that declares returning nil via a Ptr that's
            assigned into a MemoryBlock can be compared properly, like
            this:
            
            dim mb as MemoryBlock = MyDeclareReturningNilPtr
            
            if mb <> nil then MsgBox "Yay"

            an integer, whose value is -1.
            
[New] [All] MemoryBlock: Now supports creating a 0-length memory block.

[Chg] [All] MemoryBlock: Size is now a property instead of a method
            (meaning you can view the memory block size under the
            debugger now).
            
[Chg] [All] MemoryBlock: Size now returns MemoryBlock.SizeUnknown (-1)
            when we don't know the size of the memoryblock.  Previously
            it returned 0.  You can get a memory block of unknown size
            from declares.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] MemoryBlock.WString: On Linux and Mach-O builds only,
            setting a WString writes out a wchar_t string (which is a
            4-byte character string that we convert to).  When
            retrieving a WString, it is also assumed that the block of
            memory contains a wchar_t string (4-byte character string),
            and is subsequently converted to a UTF-16 string and
            returned to you.
            
[New] [IDE] Menu Editor: Now warns you (in the tips area) when you are
            creating a duplicate menu accelerator or shortcut
            combination.
            
[New] [IDE] Menu Editor: Special menu items (derived from
            AppleMenuItem, PrefsMenuItem, or QuitMenuItem) are now
            shown in their proper locations based on the platform
            display mode.  For example, if viewing the menus in OS X
            mode, these items appear under the Application menu, but in
            Windows or Linux mode, they appear in their "home"
            location.
            
[New] [IDE] Menu Items: special menu items (e.g. Apple menu items, or
            MenuItem subclasses such as QuitMenuItem) are now
            supported.
            
[Kis] [IDE] MenuEditor: You cannot create new menu item arrays or edit
            existing ones.  You can use the new MenuItem APIs if you
            must work with dynamic menu items immediately.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Menu: Improved menu support.  Sometimes items would not
            appear depending on the order of how you added them, this
            should no longer be the case.
            
[New] [All] MenuItem: Added a new constructor (called MenuItem) that
            lets you set the text and optionally set the tag of the
            item being constructed.
            
[New] [All] MenuItem: Added the ability to use a MenuItem as a
            contextual menu with the new PopUp API as
            follows:\r\rPopUp() as MenuItem -- places the contextual
            menu next to the mouse cusor.\rPopUp( x as Integer, y as
            Integer ) -- places the contextual menu at the location
            given.\r\rBoth functions will return the MenuItem that was
            selected.  Before the function returns the MenuItem, the
            selected item\'s Action event will be fired.  If the Action
            event returns true, PopUp will return nil since the action
            was already handled.
            
[Dep] [All] MenuItem: Deprecated CommandKey, please use
            KeyboardShortcut instead.
            
[New] [Car] Menus: Can now have more than 255 menuitems in Carbon.

[Fix] [Lnx] Microseconds: Now returns precision in microseconds instead
            of whatever incorrect precision it was before.  However, it
            does not return the amount of time that has passed since
            the user\'s computer was started.

            your mouse cursor. (Feedback ID: ykwxxfue)

            this to true if you want the movie to automatically start
            playing when you assign a movie to the MoviePlayer control.
             This property defaults to false.

            Player\r\rOn the Mac this property is ignored, the only
            player currently supported is Quicktime.  On Windows, the
            Preferred Player is Windows Media Player, but if the media
            file cannot be played using WMP, we will try using the
            Quicktime player instead.  Set this property to 2, to
            prevent RB from automatically doing this.
            
[New] [All] Mutex: Added a new subclass of CriticalSection -- the Mutex
            class.  Please see the Locking Mechanisms.txt file for more
            information on how to use this class.

[Fix] [Win] NotePlayer: Instrument now maps properly, as on the Mac.
            
[Fix] [All] Object2D: Non-default pen sizes no longer adversely affect
            how object2d draw their border, when borderWidth = 1.
            
[Fix] [OSX] Object2d: Rotated PixmapShapes now honor their fill
            property on OS X if "useOldRenderer" is set to false
            
[Fix] [All] Object2D: The default number of segments on RoundRect,
            Ovals and Arcs now takes the borderwidth into account.  It
            gives a smoother curve where thick borders are involved.
            
[Chg] [All] OLEContainer: This event now returns a variant.
            
[New] [Win] OLEObject: Added EventTriggered( NameOfEvent as string,
            Parameters() as Variant) event.  This event is fired when
            the OLEObject receives an event from the automation server.
             The event name is passed as the first parameter, and the
            parameters for the event that occurred are passed in as an
            array of variants in the second parameter.

            preserve precision. (Feedback ID: jonmymdq)
            
[Fix] [All] OLEObject: Now correctly reports nil objects instead of
            falsely creating an empty OLEObject in which a subsequent
            use would yield a "No Automation Server Present" message.

            ValueArray instead to assign 1 or 2 dimensional arrays. 
            Value2D is deprecated.
            
[Fix] [All] OLEObject: You can now pass an OLEObject byref.  Use the
            OLEParameter class and assign the Value to a new
            OLEObject("") or an existing OLEObject.
            
[Fix] [Win] OLEObject: 64-bit integer types are now returned as
            strings, instead of not being returned at all. (Feedback
            ID: kihkfxns)
            
[Chg] [All] OLEObject/Database: Renamed OLEObject.Property to
            OLEObject.Value, and Database.Property to
            Database.GetProperty.  The functionality is the same, only
            the name has changed (note this is not a deprecation, you
            can no longer use the reserved keyword Property).
            
[Fix] [IDE] Open Recents Menu: No longer fills the open recents menu
            with garbage on Windows.
            
[New] [All] PagePanel: Added new methods to Append, Insert, and Remove
            pages.\r\rAppend() -- appends a new page.\r\rInsert( index
            As Integer ) -- inserts a new page at the specified
            index.\r\rRemove( index As Integer ) -- deletes the page at
            the specified index.  This will also delete all controls
            within that page.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] ParseDate: Able to parse more formats now (Feedback ID:
            ouvgzhry)
            
[New] [OSX] ParseDate: On Mac OS X 10.3 and later, ParseDate now will
            parse dates based on the user\'s locale even if the user\'s
            locale is an Unicode only locale.
            
[New] [All] Permissions: Added the Permissions class as an easy way for
            you to test, set and clear permission bits on a FolderItem.
             You must pass the Integer permissions value from the
            FolderItem into the Permissions constructor.\r\reg)\rdim
            perms as New Permissions( f.Permissions )
            
[New] [IDE] Picture editor: now supports zooming and scrolling.
            
[New] [IDE] Pictures: Picture items in the project have a new property
            called "Mask" which allows you to assign another picture
            item to be drawn automatically into this picture's mask.
            (Feedback ID: enxvpcdm)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Pictures: 1-bit BMPs now load properly instead of having
            the white and black pixels reversed.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] PixmapShape: Now draws if rotated (Feedback ID: slviuwmt)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Placard: No longer draws on top of everything, so that you
            can put a StaticText on top of it, for example. (Feedback
            ID: vgfsqcxx)
            
[New] [All] Plugins SDK: Can now set console safety flags for plugin
            classes, controls, methods and properties.  Note that when 
            you update your plugin, you should update these flags or
            else truly console safe items will be flagged as not
            console safe.
            
[Fix] [All] Plugins SDK: Trying to dynamically load some setter
            functions no longer fails (such as Graphics.Pixel)
            (Feedback ID: kigriqwp)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Plugins: Modifier keys now passed to MouseDown function.
            
[Fix] [Win] Plugins: The keyDownFunction for control plugins, now
            properly returns the correct charCode and keyCode.
            
[Fix] [All] PopupMenu: Now properly strips && to be a single & on all
            platforms.  Note that keyboard mnemonics do not make sense
            in these controls, so do not expect any to be displayed.
            (Feedback ID: ugejrrih)
            
[Fix] [Win] PopupMenu, ComboBox: No longer fires the default button or
            cancel button\'s action event when hitting enter or escape
            while the list is in the dropped-down state. (Feedback ID:
            ljgxvyfk)
            
[Fix] [Win] PopupMenu, ComboBox: On Windows & Linux, changing the font
            of a PopupMenu or ComboBox at runtime now works. (Feedback
            ID: dvydgydx)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] PopupMenu/ComboBox: No longer fires the Change event when
            deleting all rows, or when the control is destroyed.
            (Feedback ID: bylziosw)
            
[Fix] [Win] PopupMenu/ComboBox: Removing a row no longer corrupts
            memory, which could lead to random crashes later.
            
[Opt] [Win] PostgreSQL Plug-in: Now yields time to the system when
            polling for data.  This allows the PostgreSQL 8.0 server to
            run better when connecting locally.
            
[New] [IDE] Preferences: Now have a mostly-working preferences dialog
            
[Fix] [All] Printing: Now properly reports the FirstPage and Copies
            properties on the Graphics class so that you know what
            information you are responsible for printing.
            
[Fix] [Win] Printing: Now sets the print job name to the title of the
            front-most window (so the behavior is the same as the Mac)
            instead of just "Document". (Feedback ID: gwatudhu)
            
[Fix] [OSX] Printing: REALbasic applications will now print using
            quartz on OS X.  This means that unicode font substitution
            works the same on screen as it does when you print, it also
            means that pictures using masks work properly, rotated
            stringShapes will print and transparent Object2D\'s will
            now print with transparency.  If you desire the old
            behavior you can set "useOldRenderer" to true.  Pictures
            with bit depth of 8 or less are still drawn with Quickdraw.
            (Feedback ID: wqahlebh, fxosuwep, dxyswfxo, ajadvfdd)
            
[Fix] [Win] Printing: The job name is now the frontmost window\'s title
            for your application again. (Feedback ID: hsksrxpd)
            
[Fix] [Win] ProgressBar: Switching between a determinant progressbar to
            an indeterminate progressbar no longer shows the
            progressbar if it is hidden.
            
[New] [All] Project Editor: Added toolbar item (not to the default set)
            for encrypting/decrypting project items.
            
[New] [IDE] Project List: Can now hold the command key (Mac) or Control
            key (Windows/Linux) and double click on an item to open it
            in a new window. (Feedback ID: jxvpbkuc)
            
[New] [IDE] Project Tab: a new contextual menu command "Window Editor
            Behavior" allows you to define which properties of a class
            should appear in the properties list for instances of that
            class on a window. This can also be accessed from the code
            editor for a class.
            
[New] [IDE] Project Tab: Copy and Paste can now be applied to most
            types of project items. (Feedback ID: oslnxzfw)
            
[New] [IDE] Project tab: Project items can now be rearranged or
            reordered by dragging in the list view, even when the
            destination is a folder at the end of the list.  You can
            control exactly where the dragged item will be dropped by
            watching the drop indicator as you drag the mouse.
            
[New] [IDE] Project Tab: you can go directly to the "alternate" mode of
            an item (such as the code editor for a window) by holding
            Option (on the Mac) or Ctrl+Shift (on Windows or Linux)
            while double-clicking or pressing Return on the item in the
            project list.
            
            Or, if you don't like hidden keyboard shortcuts, you can
            use the contextual menu.
            
[New] [IDE] Properties Editor: now shows the proper properties for
            standard controls, in the standard order and groupings,
            with default values.
            
[New] [IDE] Properties List: Color properties are now editable as text,
            but you can still bring up a color picker by clicking the
            "..." button.
            
[Fix] [IDE] Properties Pane: Changing the super of an object now
            automatically adjusts the listed properties to
            automatically include the new classes properties.
            
[New] [IDE] Proxy icon: document windows in the Macintosh IDE now
            display a proxy icon, which you can command-click to view
            the location of the corresponding file on disk.
            
[Fix] [Win] PushButton: The default push button now follows the focus
            according to OS standards.  This allows you to use the
            Enter key to trigger the button's action event. (Feedback
            ID: fbpglkip)
            
[Fix] [All] Quicktime: REALbasic now works better with offscreen movies
            for the following editable movie functions Cut, Copy,
            Clear, Paste, RestoreUndoEditState, and
            RestoreRedoEditState, the following Track methods Delete,
            and DeleteTrackSegment, and the following Video Track
            Methods InsertVideoTrackSegment, AppendVideoTrackSegment,
            and AppendPicture.  (Feedback ID: cvvarknj)
            
[Fix] [All] Random: InRange now will return proper results if both the
            min and max are negative numbers. Previously, it could
            return results 1(+/-) outside of the range.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] RBScript: Setting the source now works properly for Linux
            console apps.
            
[Fix] [All] RbScript: Strings returned from intrinsic functions or
            methods of the context object no longer leak when the
            script ends. (Feedback ID: odtootfo)
            
[Fix] [All] RbScript: Variant accessor methods (IntegerValue,
            StringValue, etc.) no longer cause undefined identifier
            errors when used in RbScripts. (Feedback ID: cpssqsdu)
            
[New] [All] RBVersion Constant: Now reports 2005.01. This also is what
            is reported for plugins via the REALGetRBVersion() method.
            
[New] [All] RBVersionString: Now reports "2005r1".
            
[New] [All] Rb3DSpace.DebugCube: Now works in built applications as
            well as in debug builds.  (So be sure to turn it off if you
            don't want it on in release builds.) (Feedback ID:
            etzwvjom)
            
[Fix] [Win] Rb3DSpace.DebugCube: Now works in Windows and Linux as well
            as on the Mac. (Feedback ID: etzwvjom)
            
[Fix] [All] REALDatabase: Fixed a bug which could sometimes cause loss
            of data when doing a ROLLBACK.
            
[New] [All] REALDatabase: now supports renaming columns, and changing
            the column type.  There is no official SQL standard for
            these operations; we use the following syntax:\r\rALTER
            TABLE <table-name-string> RENAME <column-name-string> TO
            <new-column-name-string>\r\rALTER TABLE <table-name-string>
            MODIFY [ COLUMN ] <column-name-string>
            <column-type-string>
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Auto-commit is now off by default, like it
            is in REALDatabase. This means that if a transaction isn't
            open when you start writing to the database (using INSERT,
            DELETE, REPLACE, UPDATE), then one will be opened for you.
            To commit your changes, you must call Commit explicitly.
            Or, you can call Rollback to discard your changes. Closing
            a database with an open transaction will perform an
            automatic Commit. Note that you can still explicitly open a
            transaction with BEGIN TRANSACTION.
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Calling Edit, Update, or Delete on a
            RecordSet that can't be edited now sets Error, ErrorCode,
            and ErrorMessage properties to indicate the error.
            
[Fix] [Mac] REALSQLDatabase: Can now build MachO apps with REAL SQL
            Databases.
            
[Fix] [All] REALSQLDatabase: correctly return a syntax error for SQL
            statements that aren't terminated correctly. In particular,
            queries that lacked an ending single-quote were incorrectly
            returning an empty RecordSet. Now there will be a syntax
            error in such a case.
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Field type names now are displayed with
            leading caps. Removed the unused UncompressedBinary type.
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: it is no longer necessary to include
            'rowid' as one of the columns in a SELECT when you plan to
            edit the resulting RecordSet. The rowid of each column in
            the RecordSet is now tracked internally.
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: Text inserted into a database is now
            converted to UTF8 if	it is not already UTF8. This is true
            both when using SQLExecute and	DatabaseRecords to insert
            the text. To insert text without the conversion,	insert it
            into a blob/binary field.
            
[Chg] [All] REALSQLDatabase: 'New REAL SQL Database' now comes before
            'Select REAL SQL Database' in the Add->Database menu.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Rectangle, RoundRectangle, Oval: Controls (such as
            Listboxes or Canvases) on top of a Rectangle,
            RoundRectangle, or Oval control, now draw on top. (Feedback
            ID: rzdurczd)
            
[Fix] [Win] RectControl: MouseExit now fires properly when leaving the
            control to go into the MenuBar (Feedback ID: wsawbgru)
            
[New] [All] RectControls: Added new MouseWheel event:\rFunction
            MouseWheel(X as integer, Y as integer, Delta as integer) as
            Boolean\rWhere X,Y is the mouse coordinates, relative to
            the control that\'s received this event, and Delta is the
            amount of scroll lines as defined by the system.  This
            value is positive when scrolling down, and negative when
            scrolling up.  Returning true prevents the event from
            propagating further.
            
[New] [All] RectControl.PanelIndex: Add new property PanelIndex to
            RectControls.  Use this property to get/set the control's
            panel index for moving controls on to, or off of, a
            specific panel on a TabPanel or PagePanel.  This property
            is 0-based, with 0 being the first panel, and so on, and 
            -1 means no panel.
            
[Fix] [All] RectControl.Parent: Is now returned as a RectControl not a
            Control.  This means that you have to do less casting to
            use it.  NOTE: It shouldn\'t have any negative side effects
            since non rect controls can\'t have children.
            
[New] [Win] RegistryItem: Added optional parameter to RegistryItem
            constructor:\r\rRegistryItem( path As String, [create As
            Boolean = true])\r\rPass in false as the second parameter
            if you do not want the path to be created if it is not
            found.  A RegistryAccessErrorException will be thrown in
            this case.
            
[Fix] [Win] RegistryItem: Assigning a MemoryBlock to a
            RegistryItem.Value no longer crashes.
            
[Fix] [Win] RegistryItem: Getting a registry item value of type
            REG_EXPAND_SZ  now retrieves the value (and expands it)
            properly.
            
[New] [IDE] Remote Debugging: Remote Debugging now functional.  Note
            that the remote debugging protocol is 100% different than
            in older versions of REALbasic.  So you can only use the
            new stubs with the new IDE.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] RGBSurface: Getting pixels with the RGBSurface is now
            several orders of magnitude faster than previously.
            
[Fix] [All] RoundRectShape: Setting the cornerWidth or the cornerHeight
            to be equal to the width or height respectively no longer
            causes weird drawing annomallies.
            
[Opt] [All] Runtime: object look-ups by index are now substantially
            faster under common use cases.
            
[Chg] [All] Runtime.ObjectClass: variant objects are now reported as,
            for example, "Variant(String)" rather than "String".
            
[New] [Mac] SaveAsDialog: now displays a Format pop-up, allowing the
            user to choose an output format, if you specify more than
            one file type in the Filter property.  Examine the
            extension of the file name returned to see which format was
            chosen. (Feedback ID: rffwokid)
            
[Fix] [IDE] Saving: Saving the project now saves the menus, any
            external code items, sound items, movie items, database
            items, and text file items.
            
[Fix] [Win] Scrollbar: Now respects the Minimum property when set at
            design time. (Feedback ID: mkbjcxkb)
            
[New] [All] Semaphore: Now has a constructor that takes the initial
            count of the number of resources the semaphore is
            protecting.  This parameter defaults to 1 for backwards
            compatibility.
            
[New] [All] Serial: Added a new method to allow you to watch for line
            state changes.\r\rLineChangeNotification( ParamArray lines
            as Integer )\r\rWhen a line state changes, the
            LineStateChanged event will fire and pass in an array of
            the lines whose states have changed.  To select lines to
            watch, or to see which lines have changed, please use the
            new constants added to the serial class for this purpose
            (DTR, RTS, CTS, DCD, RI and DSR).
            
[New] [All] Serial: Added new constants for the Serial.LastErrorCode
            property:\r\rAccessDenied = 100,\rPortNotFound =
            101,\rInvalidOptions = 102\r
            
[New] [All] Serial: Added two new properties, BytesLeftToSend as
            Integer and BytesAvailable as Integer to tell you how much
            data is left to send or receive.
            
[Dep] [All] Serial: Deprecated the Port property, please use the
            SerialPort propety instead.  Note that you should always
            display some UI to allow the user to choose which port to
            use since serial ports are different on every machine.
            
[Fix] [OSX] Serial: Now obtaining exclusive rights to the serial port
            when opening it.  This means that another application
            cannot also open the port (unless they are running as root)
            once your application has opened it up.  This change
            affects Linux as well. (Feedback ID: bmbkvyvk)
            
[Fix] [Win] Serial: System.SerialPortCount now returns proper
            information when there are COM ports > COM9 installed.  You
            can now open COM ports > COM9 as well. (Feedback ID:
            ebgdiyqu)
            
[New] [All] ServerSocket: Added ActiveConnections() as TCPSocket() to
            allow you to get an array of active sockets (ones that were
            added via the AddSocket event and are now
            connected).\r\rThis means you don\'t have to use control
            arrays of sockets anymore.  ;-)
            
[Fix] [All] ServerSocket: Can now get the actual port bound to.
            (Feedback ID: vpayqwtq)
            
[Fix] [All] ServerSocket: Now honors the MaximumSocketsConnected
            property on OS X, Windows and Linux again.
            
[Fix] [Win] ServiceApplication: Now receives args from both the
            "command line" as specified by the service\'s binPath, and
            the "command line" as specfied by the startup parameters
            passed to StartService.\r\rPreviously you would only get
            the parameters from StartService and not the binPath.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Shell: Getting the ErrorCode now returns the exit status of
            the executable. (Feedback ID: quxgjolo)
            
[Fix] [Win] Shell: No longer errors out when the app is run from a  UNC

[New] [Win] Shell: Now supports asynchronous and interactive shell
            (modes 1 and 2). (Feedback ID: szwdhcpi)
            
[New] [Lnx] Shell: Now supports interactive and asynchronous modes.
            (Feedback ID: tjqirizd)
            
[Fix] [Win] Shell: Shell now works again on Win98/ME. (Feedback ID:
            fncfkhtp)
            
[Fix] [Win] Shell: Shells now run much faster in synchronous mode.
            (Feedback ID: vgpwbgnv)
            
[New] [All] Shell.Execute: Added optional second parameter:\r\rExecute(
            command as string, [parameters as string] )\r\rThe first
            parameter is the path/name of the executable to run, and
            the second parameter indicates the arguments to pass to the
            executable.  You can still specify the entire command
            without using the optional second parameter if you like
            (however, on Windows, if the path/name of the executable
            contains spaces, and you want to pass arguments to it,
            you\'re better off separating the two).
            
[Fix] [All] SOAPMethod: Invoking a SOAPMethod that returns an empty
            string no longer raises an exception. (Feedback ID:
            vooizayj)
            
[Fix] [All] SOAPMethod: SOAP methods that do not have any parameters
            can be invoked without raising a SOAPException. (Feedback
            ID: uggpasqg)
            
[Nte] [All] Socket Events: Using MsgBox within a socket event can cause
            other events to fire due to the modal nature of MsgBox. 
            For example, if you have a MsgBox in the Connected event,
            while that dialog is displayed, you may get a DataAvailable
            event.  This is normal, expected behavior.  If you are
            using MsgBox to display debugging information, consider
            using System.DebugLog instead.
            
[New] [All] SocketCore, IPCSocket, ServerSocket: All the socket classes
            now have a read-only property called Handle as Integer. 
            This is the socket\'s internal descriptor and can be used
            with declares.  Note that the descriptor is
            platform-specific.  Assume that if this property is <= 0
            that the descriptor is not available. (Feedback ID:
            xnltnngd)
            
[New] [Lnx] Soft Declares: Now resolves declares against LibC.  Please
            see the Soft Declare read me for more information.
            
[New] [Car] Soft Declares: Now supports more formats on Carbon. In
            Mach-O, it will load both dynamic libraries (dylib) and
            frameworks. The dylib loading supports @executable_path in
            the library name to load relative to the executable. For
            CFM, it will try to find a framework as well as a CFM
            Shared Library.
            
[Fix] [Win] Sound: Can now play MP3s or MIDIs that contain unicode
            characters in the path/name. (Feedback ID: tijyliic)
            
[Fix] [Win] Sound: Setting a sound\'s pan/volume no longer adjusts the
            master pan and volume.
            
[Fix] [Win] Sound: Setting a sound\'s volume or pan before playing the
            sound no longer sets the master volume and pan.
            
[New] [IDE] Sounds: Sounds in the project now work.
            
[New] [All] SpecialFolder: Added a new module called SpecialFolder that
            contains all of the special FolderItems for the platforms
            we support.\r\rThese functions can (and frequently do)
            return nil if there is not a mapping for that FolderItem on
            a particular system, so test for nil after getting the
            FolderItem.\r\rOn the Mac, you can pass in a four-char code
            to the GetFromCode function to have a specific special
            FolderItem returned to you.
            
[New] [IDE] Splitters: Various splitters in the IDE (such as the
            divider between the project list and the properties list on
            the Project tab) can now be toggled open or closed by
            double-clicking them.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] SpriteSurface: No longer relies on a GTK 2.2 feature.
            
[New] [IDE] SSLSocket: Now supported.
            
[Fix] [OSX] StaticText: Fixed weird mouse click origin shifting problem
            that occurred when you had an empty single line statictext
            on a composite window using Mac OS X 10.2. (Feedback ID:
            ommopzsl)
            
[Fix] [Win] StaticText: Now drawing its captions properly with regards
            to keyboard mnemonics on Windows 2000 and up.
            
[New] [All] String Functions: Added NthFieldB, CountFieldsB, and
            SplitB. They take the same parameters as NthField,
            CountFields, and Split respectively, and behave the same
            except that they treat the strings as binary data.
            (Feedback ID: qzxxzqzf)
            
[Fix] [All] StyledText: Now fires the TextChanged event properly on all
            platforms (Feedback ID: wpxinmmz)
            
[Fix] [All] StyledText: Now throws an OutOfBoundsException when trying
            to access an invalid index via StyledText.StyleRun instead
            of throwing an assertion. (Feedback ID: gquygcoc)
            
[Fix] [Car] StyledTextPrinter: No longer prints outside the bounds of
            the graphics context you're drawing in (for example, a
            canvas). (Feedback ID: fauczbbq)
            
[New] [All] System: Added a new module named Cursors to the System
            class.  This class contains stock cursors for your
            application to use.  The new cursors are listed in the New
            Cursors.txt readme.
            
[New] [All] System: Added a new variation to the SerialPort method call
            that takes a path.  On OS X and Linux, this path is the
            path to the device file corresponding to the serial device
            (eg: /dev/ttyS0).  On Windows, this can be the COM port you
            want opened (eg: COM1).
            
[New] [All] System: Added the method IsFunctionAvailable( functionName
            as String, libraryName as String ) as Boolean\r\rCalling
            this function will attempt to load the function from the
            given library.  If the function can be loaded properly,
            this will return true.  Otherwise it will return false.
            
[Fix] [OSX] System: CommandLine now returns the command line for Mach-O
            GUI applications (used to only work for Mach-O command line
            applications).
            
[Fix] [Win] System: PPPConnect no longer causes a crash on Windows 98
            and ME when attempting to connect. (Feedback ID: qwfguwcr)
            
[Fix] [All] System: SerialPort now raises an OutOfBoundsException when
            trying to access indicies that are out of bounds. (Feedback
            ID: kicoyqly)
            
[Fix] [Win] System: Using .Log no longer puts a bunch of error text in
            with your log string. (Feedback ID: ofcakiin)
            
[Fix] [All] System.Log: No longer crashes when given a % sign in the
            logging string.  This affects OS X and Linux. (Feedback ID:
            vjjilwwg)
            
[New] [All] System.Network: Added a new module named Network to the
            system class with some new networking
            functionality.\r\rLookupIPAddress( dnsAddress as String )
            as String will look up an IP address based on a DNS address
            that you pass in.\r\rLookupDNSAddress( ipAddress as String)
            as String will look up a DNS address based on an IP address
            that you pass in.\r\rBoth functions will return empty
            strings on errors (malformed addresses), but return the
            string passed in if the address could not be resovled.
            (Feedback ID: fjxensch)
            
[New] [All] System.Network: Added the .IsConnected method to let you
            know whether the computer is connected to a network. 
            Another way to look at this is: if this property is false,
            then using sockets may cause a dial-up to occur.  Note that
            this function is not supported on Linux and will return
            false on that platform. (Feedback ID: kjrlcjnm)
            
[New] [IDE] Tab Bar: You can now close tabs with Close Tab menu command
            (or its keyboard shortcut).  When closing the last open
            tab, the window is closed.  Also, if you try closing the
            ProjectItem list tab, the window is closed. 
            
[New] [All] TabPanel: Added new methods to Append, Insert, and Remove
            tabs.\r\rAppend( caption As String ) -- appends a new tab
            with the specified caption\r\rInsert( index As Integer,
            caption As String ) -- inserts a new tab at the specified
            index with the caption.\r\rRemove( index As Integer ) --
            deletes the tab at the specified index.  This will also
            delete all controls within that tab. (Feedback ID:
            zlnogzht)
            
[Chg] [All] TabPanel: If the Value is greater than the number of tabs,
            an OutOfBounds exception will be thrown.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] TabPanel: The GotFocus and LostFocus events are now
            triggered properly. (Feedback ID: ldnodydp)
            
[Fix] [All] TabPanel.PanelCount: Now returns the correct number of
            tabs. (Feedback ID: cjgqsiwu)
            
[Fix] [All] TCPSocket and subclasses: Trying to connect to a blocked
            port no longer results in a StackOverflowException when you
            have a MsgBox in the Error event to report the error.
            (Feedback ID: koachfyg)
            
[Fix] [All] TCPSocket: No longer causing a StackOverflowException to
            occur when trying to get the remote address from the Error
            event.  (Feedback ID: phiyxuxp)
            
[Fix] [All] TCPSocket: No longer crashes when an orphaned socket
            recieves an error while polling and the error causes the
            socket to be destroyed.
            
[Opt] [All] TCPSocket: Optimized socket send and receive speeds.  You
            should see around a 30% speed increase with large files.
            
[Fix] [All] TCPSocket, UDPSocket: No longer has event reentrancy
            problems caused by having expensive for loops in a socket
            event.  for example, the AddSocket event no longer fires
            forever when you have a large for loop in it. (Feedback ID:
            esgmzccm)
            
[New] [All] Thread Locking Mechanisms: Now all have a TrySignal and
            TryEnter methods to attempt to obtain a lock on the
            mechanism.  If the lock is obtained, the function returns
            true.  If the lock cannot be obtained, the function does
            not cause the thread to block and returns false.
            
[Fix] [All] Thread: Now fires a ThreadAlreadyRunningException when you
            try to call Run on a thread that is currently running.
            
[New] [All] Threads: Added new properties: Priority and State.  Added
            new methods Suspend, Resume and Sleep.  Added new
            constants.  Please see the Threads.txt readme for more
            information.
            
[New] [All] Threads: Added the state constant NotRunning = 4 for
            testing the state of a thread.  This is the state that the
            thread will be in before you call the Run method or after
            the Run event has finished executing.
            
[Fix] [Mac] Threads: AppleScript no longer gets confused when called
            from a thread. (Feedback ID: mndxnpyg)
            
[New] [All] Threads: New method App.SleepCurrentThread( milliseconds )
            that will sleep the current thread for the specified number
            of milliseconds. This can be used from any thread.
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Threads: New pthreads-based Thread class implementation no
            longer crashes (usually when redrawing controls or
            otherwise tweaking the UI).
            
[Fix] [All] Threads: Now play much more nicely together. This problem
            was made worse early in 2005, but this fix makes threads
            behave better than in 5.5. (Feedback ID: boxjgviz)
            
[Fix] [Mac] Threads: Opening certain large PDF pictures in a thread no
            longer causes a failed assertion. (Feedback ID: ircxtaou)
            
[Fix] [Win] Timers: Now function in Service applications on Windows.
            (Feedback ID: qgynnbvh)
            
[Fix] [All] ToolbarItems: Calling .Close on a toolbar item no longer
            removes that item and all subsequent items of the same
            type.  It only removes the proper closed item.
            
[New] [IDE] Toolbars: can now Show and Hide these via the View menu. 
            (Note for OS X users: Hiding the main toolbar via the menu
            is different from hiding it via the toolbar widget; with
            the menu, the rest of the window content expands to take up
            the space vacated by the toolbar.)
            
[IDE] [New] Toolbars: now configurable (e.g. through the "Customize..."
            option in the contextual menu).  Note that changes are not
            yet saved between runs of the IDE, and not all available
            toolbar buttons have icons yet.
            
[New] [Win] TrayItem: Now can add items to the System Tray by using the
            new TrayItem class.  To add an item, use App.AddTrayItem(
            item as TrayItem ) and to remove an item, use
            App.RemoveTrayItem( item as TrayItem )\r\rIf you do not
            specify an Icon for the TrayItem, your application\'s icon
            will be used.  You do not have to worry about calling
            RemoveTrayItem when your application terminates since that
            will be done for you automatically.\r\rPlease see the
            example for more information on how to use this class.

[Fix] [Win] UDPSocket: Now trying to load the proper version of the
            WinSock library for multicasting.  Fixes more of the
            spurious "42" errors on Windows.
            
[Fix] [Win] UDPSocket, EasyUDPSocket: .Bind now works again on Windows
            98/ME. (Feedback ID: oqqnsfqz)
            
[Chg] [All] Variant: Can now change a string prefixed with &c or &h and
            change it into a valid Color. (Feedback ID: tiqcfjei)
            
[Fix] [All] Variant: No longer throws a NilObjectException when calling
            Variant.DateValue on a variant holding a nil date.  This
            matches the behavior of Variant.ObjectValue.
            
[Nte] [IDE] Visual Bindings: Forget what we said last time about
            referring to these as "connections."  We were just seeing
            who was paying attention.
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: Now correctly shows controls that are part
            of a control array.
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: Resizing the window now tries to snap to
            controls near the edge of the window.
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: You can now select the child controls of a
            container by holding down the Shift key while dragging (no
            other controls can be selected before starting this type of
            drag), or via a contextual menu item of the container
            control.
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: You can now switch between Window Editor and
            Code Editor modes on the Macintosh by pressing Option+Tab. 
            (On other platforms, the shortcut remains Ctrl+`.)
            (Feedback ID: bvedxrpl)
            
[New] [IDE] Window Editor: "Current Controls" has been removed from the
            control list pop-up menu; "Favorites" has been added.  Use
            contextual menus to add items from the other views to the
            Favorites view, or to remove items from the Favorites
            view.
            
[Fix] [Win] Window Event Ordering: The Resized event no longer fires
            before the Open event on Windows. (Feedback ID: fbdyuqjt)
            
[New] [IDE] Window State: projects now save the size and position of
            each window, along with which items were open.  (Additional
            UI state data may be stored in the future.)
            
[Fix] [Mac] Window: A movable modal window with the GrowIcon property
            checked, can now be resized.
            
[New] [All] Window: Added three new methods: Maximize, Minimize and
            Restore to control the state of the window at runtime.

             Deprecated ZoomIcon, please use MaximizeButton instead. 
            Deprecated CloseBox, please use CloseButton instead. 
            Deprecated AcceptMacDataDrop, please use AcceptRawDataDrop
            instead.
            
[Fix] [Win] Window: Floating windows now have their parent set in a
            smarter fashion so that floaters which are hidden with the
            parent get shown with the parent as well. (Feedback ID:
            pbirvxqm)
            
[Fix] [Win] Window: In certain circumstances, hiding a window would
            trigger a series of events which would somehow prevent the
            window from being hidden, that event anomaly can no longer
            happen. (Feedback ID: iqaxvgvu)
            
[New] [IDE] Window: It is now possible to add event definitions to
            windows, which is quite useful for making custom controls
            with embeddable windows.
            
[Fix] [Win] Window: Maximize, Minimize and Restore events all fire
            properly when double-clicking the titlebar. (Feedback ID:
            xznzakfl)
            
[Fix] [Win] Window: Now fires the Minimize event in all possible
            situations.  Was previously missing the event when the user
            would hit Win+M to minimize all windows. (Feedback ID:
            hhdewzai)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Window: Resizing a window (when the window is not visible),
            now properly resizes locked controls.
            
[Fix] [All] Window: Setting Window.MenuBar = nil no longer throw
            assertions. (Feedback ID: phfcghxq)
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Window: When showing a modal window, such as a message box,
            triggered from a document window, that modal window should
            now float on top of the document window that triggered it,
            rather than floating on top of the first document window
            that was created (this caused the document windows to shift
            Z-order as a modal window was shown).
            
[Fix] [Lnx] Window.MouseDown: Returning true from the window\'s
            MouseDown event no longer prevents a click, on a PushButton
            for example, froming receiving an Action event. (Feedback
            ID: bzcfqbwe)
