Crazy Eddie's GUI System is a free library providing windowing and widgets for graphics APIs / engines where such functionality is not natively available, or severly lacking.

The library is object orientated, written in C++, and aimed at game developers.

What's New in This Release:
Added: single colour support to PropertyHelper::stringToColourRect
Added: missing support to Irrlicht renderer for creating a texture with a given size.
Added: Updates to renderers for D3D8.1 and D3D9 to report correct values for 'original' size and actual texture size. (Related to Mantis ticket #45).
Added: Support for using user defined image codec by name (using dso) or directly throught a pointer to an existing image codec.
Added: Long property export (allows for properties containing multiple lines).
Added: Helper methods to Window to return EventSet::Iterator and PropertySet::Iterator objects.
Added: Reworked TabControl by zap. Mantis #82.
Added: TabControlDemo sample. Mantis #82.
Added: Danish language in the FontDemo sample.
Added: Output of summary of configure results (for configure based builds)
Added: Texture extra size information to CEGUI::Texture in order to be able to handle scaled/stretched textures within Imageset.
Added: Texture Scaling support in IrrlichRenderer

Removed: Empty source file CEGUIVector.cpp
Removed: TabPane files.

Modified: Behaviour of Editbox so that EventCharacterKey events are only marked as handled if the key press actually resulted in a change to the Editbox text string. (Related to Mantis #59)

Modified: EventSet::EventIterator now known as EventSet::Iterator
Modified: PropertySet::PropertyIterator now known as PropertySet::Iterator
Modified: ImageCodec modules are now DynamicModule
Modified: Falagard PropertyDim now supports a type attribute for UDim properties. Mantis #82.
Modified: Improved TabControl imagery. Mantis #82.
Modified: autotools makefiles now symlink the sample binaries (to avoid having to do 'make install'). Mantis #82.
Modified: PropertyHelper now uses snprintf instead of std::ostringstream again. Mantis #82.
Modified: Removed static Makefile for tolua++cegui generator tool and switched to autotools style build, with enable/disable configure option, for tolua++cegui generator tool
Modified: Moved tolua++ into it's own dir, removed lua_and_tolua++
Modified: Externalised our use of the Lua library
Modified: premake updates
Modified: Updated AUTHORS file.
Modified: Remove exec file attribute on Falagard.xsd

Bug Fix: Mouse cursor z value. Mantis #49
