WinBuilder 074

A new version of WinBuilder has just been released - this was an update that will replace the older version which was published 6 months ago.

What has changed?

A lot of things I'd say - let's start with the most important ones.

- Improved Download Center - this was a sensitive point because some time after wb072 was released, some of the download locations for script projects have changed and these were hardcoded inside the binary. At the moment every time someone downloads wb it will fetch a fresh web server list from a trusted location and then we'll always have the download center with the correct values.

- User Interface modifications - following some UI renovation, the work area for using wb has just gotten bigger and more efficient (in my opinion). The graphic logo has been modified so that it is only displayed on the main window.

- Support for multiple instances - this is a cool new feature - it will let have several wb windows open at the same time and this is quite a handy feature for editing or copying code from one script to another. A new button was added inside the source code editor to allow launching another window on the fly. You can also choose to run projects in new instances of wb to keep the main window uncluttered.

- Better support for command line automation - now it's much easier to run a project or script only using command line, these options also include associate wb to .script and .project files so that you can double click them from the explorer window to automatically open up a wb source code editor window.

- Unicode support - finally began adding some support to handle unicode text files. It wasn't a easy step to make it completely cross-compatible with ANSI files but it's definitively going forward.

The rest of modifications  are also important and they are better described on the respective publishing page that you can find <a href="http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3647">[here] </a>

This should hopefully present a better work platform for the current projects and future ones to appear - thanks go to everyone who helped testing and provided feedback regarding what could be changed and improved.

Thank you for supporting wb!
