[sprog-users] Announce: Sprog-0.13

[Grant M. <gr...@mc...>]

Hi Sproggers

I've just uploaded version 0.13 of Sprog to Sourceforge.

The major new feature is this release is the 'Make Command Gear' 
menu option.  If you've been using the 'Run Command' gears to 
wrap up cryptic command lines, you can now add your creations to 
the palette with the click of a button and then reuse them in 
other machines.  One advantage of creating custom command gears
is that you can change the gear title.

The only new gear in this release is a variant of 'Run Command' 
which can be used as the final (output) gear in a machine.

The distribution now includes guidelines for packaging Sprog.

UI Tweaks
- Tools|Preferences can now create the personal gear folder if
  it doesn't exist
- over-long gear titles are now truncated

Bug Fixes:
- exporter fix for 5.8.1 (reported by Christian Renz)
- fix for help viewer not finding POD in personal gear folder
- fix missing palette icons

API Updates:
- new mixin: InputByPara (originally contributed by Chris Benson)
- allow derived gears to 'uninherit' properties

Regards
Grant
