NEWS for planes
===============

0.6.0
-----

Released on 5 March 2013.

planes now logs runtime statistics and displays them when F12 is pressed. There 
is a font manager class now, and planes comes bundled with a selection of free 
fonts for instant use. A font usage example is included. There is a new widget 
planes.gui.ProgressBar. All gfx and font resources are now bundled in a 
'resources.zip' file which is distributed along with planes. planes now uses 
cx_Freeze to build executables. Added mouse wheel support for the Plane class 
and the PlusMinusBox widget specifically. Optimized Plane.render() a little to 
check whether subplanes actually intersect with Display.rect. Bug fixes and 
enhancements in Plane.render(), gui.Container.sub(), and 
'planes_interactive.py'. Docs update.


0.5.0
-----

Released on 22 June 2012.

'clickndrag' has been renamed to 'planes', this is the first release under the 
new name.

Planes now handle mouseovers, by default highlighting the Plane. GUI buttons and 
options will highlight by default. Added PlusMinusBox GUI widget.

Added modules gui.lmr and gui.tmb which enable bitmap image backgrounds for 
planes GUI widgets. Included a set of default background images.

Improved transparency for GUI widgets.

Added FadingContainer GUI widget which will fade out over time.

Numerous fixes and improvements, along with a documentation update.


0.4.1
-----

Released on 29 July 2011.

Removed OK button and callback from gui.OptionList to be able to embed it in 
more complex dialogs. Added gui.OptionSelector as a drop-in replacement. 
Simplified cursor rendering in gui.TextBox, which is done in 
gui.TextBox.redraw() now, no longer messing with gui.TextBox.text. Changed 
Plane.remove_all() to actually call Plane.remove() for all current subplanes. 
gui.Container now also shrinks horizontally when a subplane is removed. Added 
'insert_after' argument to Plane.sub(), making it possible to render related 
subplanes without others inbetween. Plane.sync() uses the offset between Plane 
centers instead of Plane toplefts now, avoiding alignment problems with dynamic 
Planes as gui.OutlinedText. gui.OutlinedText now saves and restores the center 
of OutlinedText.rect upon a text change. Fixed default background color setting 
in various places. Added wrapping at newlines to gui.OkBox. Several fixes to be 
compatible with Python 2.6 distutils. Added clickndrag.VERSION, which is now 
read in setup.py. Documentation update.
