What's New In Pre Beta 9?

Hi Denis,

  Thanks for asking. I think now with the CVS up and
running it will be easier to track changes.

  Pre Beta 9 mostly adds new experimental features
such as a new mini XML forms architecture, two new XUL
tag plug-in interop wrappers (for applets and
JavaBeans), new easy widget lookup using JxFrame.get()
and so on.

  I also moved some "generic" Swing classes to Salsa.
I hope to get Salsa imported into CVS in the next
couple of days. So you will likely need to upgrade
some libraries such as Salsa and Caramel.

  All in all Beta 9 is still a work in progess and
your contributions are more than welcome. I have
already added you to the developer list so you should
have full write-acess to the CVS repository.
