Guikachu 0.9 "Second Impact keeps being late"
=============================================
Nearly a whole month has passed since 0.8, and this month marked a
complete rewrite and redesign of a lot of internals. Properties are
now implemented as proper, template-based C++ classes instead of the
evil preprocessor magic used before. Common properties (like "width"
and "height", or "text" and "font") are now grouped in abstract
utility classes, which will also form the basis, in the future, of
point & click resizing of widgets.

This great release also sports bugfixes and new features, including a
complete range of XSLT style sheets for all the supported widgets.

There is also a mailing list for both users and contributors of
Guikachu. Subscribe or browse the archives at
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/guikachu-main.

New features:
	* An experimental RPM spec file
	* New supported widget: Scroll bar
	* LibGlade widgets are now properly destroyed -- this fixes a
	  lot of mysterious segmentation faults reported by some users
	* Keyboard shortcuts are added to (nearly?) every property
	  editor, allowing you to work faster.
	* Exporting and then saving a project no longer overwrites the
	  RCP file with the Guikachu document
	* The included XSLT style sheet covers every implemented
	  widget to enable you to create RCP files from Guikachu
	  documents without running Guikachu itself
	* Fixed some potential memory leaks (I don't know if the leak
	  actually happened in real life) in property editors
	* Explicitly marked the non-use of C++ exceptions to
	  (theoretically) speed up compiling
	* A *huge* reorganization of Form Editor internals. This is
	  something that you as an end-user will not notice, but it
	  will allow other nice things (like graphical resizing of
	  widgets) to be implemented in future versions.
	* New translations: ca (Softcatal)
