[Gambas-user] gambas 0.93

[Benoit Minisini]

Hi, everybody,

I'm thoughtless :-) I forgot to announce the release of 0.93 here and on 
freshmeat !

The main changes are:

* The installation tree has changed, so that it complies with Mandrake 
standards. For example, instead of putting libraries in /usr/lib, they go 
in /usr/lib/gambas.

* Components can declare "virtual" controls. They are controls you can put on 
a form, but displaying nothing. You had the Timer. Now you get many virtual 
controls in the gb.net component too. I think the beginner prefer putting a 
virtual control on a form instead of typing "MySocket = NEW Socket()".

* The IDE new project dialog has been rewritten. You can create a new project 
by copying an already existing one.

* The font management has changed so that a given point size has about the 
same pixel size whatever the screen resolution is. 

* The documentation has been updated. Rob Kudla should update the Wiki soon 
with my changes. Only the gb & gb.qt documentation have been updated. When 
the wiki is updated, I will continue on updating the other components. I will 
write overviews in the gb.qt component too.

Enjoy it,
