New features:

• General: Added SHOWRUNDLG setup string.

• General: Since so many people didn't quite appreciate my beautiful XWPSTART.LOG file, I added a setting for that on the "Startup" page in the desktop's settings notebook.

• Mouse: Martin Lafaix added a couple of settings to the "Auto-hide mouse" feature and the general "Auto-move pointer to default push button" feature. While I was at it, I added mouse pointer animations then.

• &xcenter;: Added another diskfree widget ("condensed" style).

• &xcenter;: Added properties dlg to X-button widget for configuring the menu items to display.

• &xcenter;: Added "Hide immediately on mouse click" setting.

• &xcenter;: Martin Lafaix added dragging widgets to open folders, which will create a widget definition in a file, which can then be dropped to an &xcenter; again. Experimental feature, no documentation yet.

• &xcenter;: Paul Ratcliffe added more options to the "Run" dialog.

• Treesize: Added "100 largest files" function.

• Status bars: Added "Keys" buttons to status bars page 2 in "Workplace Shell" to list all the status bar keys that are supported by the corresponding entry field.

Miscellaneous changes:

• General: Greatly sped up dialog engine by caching font data, which affects the new message boxes, among other things.

• XWPSetup: Reworked the "XWorkplace Classes" setup dialog.

• &xcenter;: Optimized internal timers, which now use less CPU time (depending on how many widgets are running). As a side effect, they are even much more precise now. Thanks Martin Lafaix for the oriental meditation hints.

• &xcenter;: Added more function imports to widget DLLs to reduce their sizes.

• General: New message boxes never had focus on default button. Besides, the "snap back" for default buttons on tabbing didn't always work. Fixed.

• General: Some message boxes didn't react to mouse clicks at all and could only be dismissed via keyboard. Fixed.

• General: Fixed a rounding problem in the font engine which caused wrong font sized to be selected in some situations.

• General: Fixed about a dozen memory leaks in various places.

• General: Library routine which was used for starting applications (among others, by &xcenter; "Run" dialog) always hung the system for full-screen &winos2; sessions. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

• XFolder: Folder hotkeys for sort and arrange sorted the desktop even if the respective menu items were disabled for the desktop. Fixed; these are suppressed now to avoid accidentally sorting or arranging the desktop.

• XFolder: Fixed a number of problems with "Create another" in tree views, most notably that the new object wouldn't appear unless the tree view had SHOWALLINTREEVIEW set.

• "OS/2 kernel" object: "Syslevels" page never displayed TCP/IP data, fixed.

• "Keyboard" object: "Hotkeys" page never used 8.Helv font if enabled. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

• Status bars: "Undo" on status bars page 2 in "Workplace Shell" didn't undo everything. Fixed.

• Hook: This allowed many things during lockup that weren't supposed to happen, such as opening hot corner objects. Fixed.

• &pgr;: I added a mutex around a global hook flag which is used by &pgr; to avoid recursing into the hook. It looks like this has improved the &pgr; hangs that occurred sporadically when many windows were opened and closed. I am not sure yet if this completely fixed the problem.

• &xcenter;: Widget settings management crashed sometimes in an endless loop when freeing settings data. Fixed by Paul Ratcliffe.

• &xcenter;: Widget properties dialogs never worked for subwidgets in a tray. Fixed.

• &xcenter;: If &xcenter; was on top of screen, menus weren't displayed in the proper direction. Fixed for object buttons and X-button by Martin Lafaix.

• &xcenter;: MB2 context menu on border or sizing bar broke with 0.9.13. Fixed by Martin Lafaix.

• &xcenter;: Pulse widget broke with some recent version on some system, causing crashes. Fixed, hopefully.

• &xcenter;: Trays sometimes lost their current tray between restarts. Fixed.
