Hi! Last weekend I have merged the branch SIMPLIFICATIONS into the master branch of the repository. The modifications are a major refactoring of how the widgets in the Design window are created and destroyed. My tests on Windows, Linux and mac OS were successful. From a user point of view there is not much difference, except for minor improvements. E.g. previously a button or label with a non-standard font would not have been sized correctly. Behind the scenes, the changes are a major step forwards towards maintainability. Also, I think that with the changes it should be possible to finally implement undo/re-do with a version 1.1. Please test your designs and platforms with the master branch. I expect some glitches... Hold out for incorrect layouts or even crashes. If the master branch is working for you, I would suggest to continue using it. During the next two months or so I will work on some usability improvements, more automated tests and documentation updates. If you don't understand the following sentence, you may just ignore it: I have not yet finalized about how to handle Class / Base class / Instance class properties in 1.0. This might change a bit, but I think the current user interface is already much clearer than before where one property was used. I probably will post another message to get some feedback on this. Regards, Dietmar
