[Gambas-user] gambas 0.95

[Hans-Martin Bundeshund]

Thanks again Benoit!

Very nice work! Looks fantastic. 

My older apps are working fine after a fast look. Compiling here was no prob, 
just a pleasure. And: 1.0 is near... 

When 1.0 appears, I go to my local fish-dealer and buy 2 dozent of gambas to 
bbq'ing :))  

Each gambas covered with garlic and butter... (I am getting hungry now...)
