Ann: wx-DevC++ 6.10 released

[Guru Kathiresan]

Hello all,
The wx-DevC++ Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of 6.10
beta.

Visit 
http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/ for more details.

New features:

*VC++ Compiler Support:
      We officially support VC2003, VC2005, and VC6 compilers. The installer
ships with wxWidgets 2.7.1 pre-built with VC2005.
Our hope is that the community will step up with pre-built versions of
wxWidgets using the other VC compilers. On initial setup, the VC++ and SDK
paths are automatically detected in the registry and added to the compiler
setup. 

*Multiple Project profile support like VC++ :
   Projects can be switched "on-the-fly" between different compilers using
VC-like profiles. Templates and project .dev files can store most profiles.

*14 new wxwidgets components:
       wxDialUpManager, wxHtmlEasyPrinting , wxMediaCtrl , wxRichTextCtrl ,
wxSTC, wxCalendarCtrl, wxPasswordEntryDialog, wxTextEntryDialog,
wxOwnerDrawnComboBox , wxMultiChoiceDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog,
wxTreeListCtrl, wxMessageDialog, wxHyperLinkCtrl.

*Automatic Event creation on Component Double Click.:
   Double clicking a component triggers the default event creation for that
component.

* Migration Wizard : 
	Automatically updates pre-6.10 designer forms to the new format.
   6.10 use a cleaner designer form format. Existing projects will be
automatically updated to the new format when they are initially loaded.

*New docking windows:
	Replaced wx-DevC++'s inspector windows with JEDI JVCL docking
manager windows. This makes for better floating and docking plus gives a
cleaner look to the property/class/file inspector. 

* Sof.T's wxDev-C++ Programming Book :
   Sof.T's created a PDF book for programming with wx-Dev-C++

*Added the Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down shortcut keys for source navigation

*Corrected sizers (Bug #1518675).
*Fixed staticbox class declaration (Bug #1548846).
*Disabled F12 Full-screen mode until bug can be fixed properly.

automated in the next release.
