wxFormBuilder v3.0 beta1

We are proud to announce the first beta of version 3.0. This has many changes, but some of them are very big internal changes. We completely rewrote the way plug-ins are written. We took the old version and ripped out it’s guts and threw them on the floor. The new system is now completely independent of wxFormBuilder. This is the way it should have been and now it is. This is the main reason for the quick version up-rev.
So hopefully it will now be much easier for people to develop there own plug-ins with controls they would like to see implemented. You can now download a small wxFormBuilder SDK and just add that to your project and independently develop a plug-in.
There are other bug fixes and changes that can be found in the changelog, but here is a quick list.

* Removed dependancy on wxAdditions/contrib. This is a huge step to make wxFormbuilder easier to build. We will also be using a build file generator so that we can put the requests for a makefile build script to rest. This is a design goal for the final 3.0 version.
* Added subclassing on forms.
* Added center property for wxDialog and wxFrame.
* Individual directories for each plug-in.Added
* Added toolbar separators.
* Major ripup/redesign of the plugin interface.

WARNING: This is beta software. Use at your own risk. It will uninstall any old versions of wxFormBuilder and wxAdditions because the directory structure has been changed.
