[UFO-devel] LibUFO 0.8.0 released!

[Johannes S. <sch...@us...>]

The newest version of libUFO, version 0.8.0 has been released!
         http://libufo.sourceforge.net

This release has been tested with GNU/Linux/x86 using g++-3.3, with 
GUN/Linux/Amd64 using g++-3.4 and with WinXP using MS VC++ 6.

The most interesting changes can be seen in test/xul.cpp.

Here are the major changes for this release:
  * Added support to load XUL (XML User interface Language by Mozilla)
     GUI files (see test/xul.cpp).
  * Added support to load CSS themes (see test/css.cpp).
  * Replaced UI classes and look and feel classes with a single style class
  * Added style hints for themable widgets.
  * Removed some deprecated methods.
  * Added models which encapsulate all intrinsic widget data 
     (generally you shouldn't access models directly but via
     controller methods provided by the widgets).
  * Implemented keyboard control for menus, buttons and combo boxes
  * Added local TinyXML copy.
  * Added UProgressBar, USpinBox, UTextWidget (static text field)
  * Removed left vs. right distinction of keyboard modifiers, renamed
     some mouse button modifiers (prefixed with Mouse)
  * Events are now propageted to the parent if they haven't been consumed
  * Added flex attribute which is used by UBoxLayout to automatically
     grow widgets with a specified rate. This also allows spacer widgets. 
  * Added new shortcut API
  * Fixed accelerator and mnemonic support for buttons and menus.
  * Changed UFont to be used as static object (created on the stack).
  * Added lazy creation to GL images. Improved refreshing.
  * Added lazy loading support to (GL) texture font renderer.
  * Implemented enabled-property for several widgets.
  * Many important bug fixes (see ChangeLog), thanks to all contributors!

There are still some known issues, especially with sizes of UListBox, but this 
is really an overdue release.
