this release is really alot faster. Just now I didn't figure out
any real new feuture, except the support for makefiles and configure,
what has to be enabled manually!

What I noticed is following:
- Tcl source code of SN/Gui has changed to support fully
   Tcl/Tk8.1 and Itcl3.0
- Really annouying that the Tcl Parser doesn't understand the
   new source code of SN (itcl3.0), like:
	itcl::class Editor&
   So if you are browing SN source code with SN, you will get
   difficulty to retrieve symbols like Editor&::InsertTab
- Nasty behavior with "reuse" option (see below)
- Naming of some source files have been changed
- There are some older casting characters "@@" still used in
   prefrences.tcl, what seems to be buggy!
- Refresh issues on windows has been fixed.
- Maybe there are some new feutures in Build Tool, but I don't use
   it to valuate it.
- Older problem with unloading files from the project still exists,
   it seems that this problem got bigger. I wasn't able to unload
   any file.

I noticed more nasty behavior with this option, when "reuse" is unset
and you are trying to retrieve a symbol defined in the same file, SN
opens a new window and put a "duplication" of the current edited file
in a new window.
