fpGUI v1.0 is available

I'm glad to announce the 1.0 release of fpGUI. This has been over a years worth of development, so a complete list of changes will be to big to list here.

Here are just some highlights:

  • Improvements to the UI (forms) Designer
  • Lot of DocView improvements (Bookmark management, Image decoding support in INF files, RichView component improvements etc.)
  • AggPas integration as an experimental backend. AggPas is a 2D graphics library implemented in 100% Pascal, and includes some amazing features that really enhances the quality of fpGUI's canvas class.
  • New example apps, and improvements to existing demo apps like Maximus and Debug Server.
  • etc.

  git log --oneline v0.8..v1.0       (console viewer)
or
  gitk v0.8..v1.0                    (gui viewer)
