0.4 Beta 1

All major features have been implemented for 0.4, and most major bugs have been worked out. Since Alpha 2, the following has been implemented:
- Clipboard support: text can now be copied and pasted between active sessions and OS X
- Save screen capture to file
- Quick connect: connect to a server by just typing the address into the toolbar and hitting enter
- Third mouse button recognized (usually middle-click)
- Command+key translation works better, with the Windows key getting stuck or inadvertently pressed less often
- Cancelation of pending connections
- Throttled mouse events, which should speed up sessions on very low bandwidth connections
- Basic help system
- Display won't flicker on fast connections
- Many bugs fixed

Known issues:
- Drag and drop in servers list doesn't work
- Visual artifacts in 8-bit mode
- There may be other visual artifacts on all color modes on PPC

I'm nearing release for 0.4, but need bug testing on this release first. It is not a release-candidate and does have some yet-unresolved problems, but most are (hopefully) known. If you find any bugs that aren't already on the bug tracker (or mentioned above), please submit them. Even if you can't track it down, hearing the problems helps a lot.

Notes:
Localization is much requested feature, and will be done soon, but is being deferred for now because it complicates making changes to the interface. When changes to the interface slow down (or the release after 0.4, whichever comes fist), CoRD will be translated.
If you've been using the nightlies, make sure to reset your toolbar to the default configuration (by customizing it and dragging the default set) and check your preferences. There are many new toolbar items than it started out with, but new items aren't included unless if you add them.
