My software breaks here:

'DocumentView.AutoCenter is not a property'

It was renamed to 'Center'. When I grab the pickaxe and look for changes
in DocumentView I find also:

'Column' is now 'Columns', 'Row' has been removed ('Row').

Such changes break existing software without need. At least old
interfaces should be marked as deprecated before, the old names should
be synonyms of the new ones if possible and the authors should be given
time to change their software.

I for myself have no problem to change my software accordingly but I
think of the reputation of Gambas as a stable language.

Alles Gute
