surfaces in windowed mode.

About the ClassView pane:
------------------------------------
The ClassView pane shows all of your derived objects as well as the
classes available from the Aurora libraries. Right clicking on a method
in the class list allows you to go to a methods declaration or
implementation. Methods in the Aurora library list will allow you to
go to the declaration only, since the implementation of those classes
are in compiled form.
The listing of your programs classes is only available in project mode.
You can refresh the list by right-clicking anywhere in the pane and
selecting "Refresh".
There will be more added to the ClassView pane as the beta progresses
including the lising of all member variables, structure definitions and
global functions.
State of the documentation:
---------------------------------------
I have been working hard trying to get the documentation finished. All
help files now have a keyword list allowing context sensitive help
(highlight a class name and press F1 for example). The text of the
docs are still in the process of being filled in and many of the class
method descriptions are still empty, but listed. You'll need to browse
through to see what is there. CWindow is mostly finished for example,
as are half of the independant functions.
I will be uploading numerous "documentation updates" over the next few
weeks as more of the information gets filled in. Just to save the
hassle of having to redownload the install again.
There was a bug in the help database manager that we are using which
listed all return types of independant funcitons as "None". But you'll
figure out by reading the docs what it is supposed to return.
Upcoming changes:
--------------------------
For Beta 1 Rev1 most of the changes will be to the compiler itself.
Planned are enumerations and security attributes for class members
(private, protected, etc). The 3D library will have more format
loaders in Rev1 as I just didn't have time to finish them before this
release.
Have fun and watch the announcement topic for more updates
