ViPER 4.0 Beta 13

[David Mihalcik]

Okay, so I haven't really run this through all the tests I normally do
before releasing something, so there might be a few regressions I
didn't notice, but this should fix a couple of nagging problems. The
most obvious change is probably the new remote icon set - I think these
are a little to big (24x24) and I might replace them with 20x20 or
16x16 icons (feedback welcome, as always). (Also, the icons are GPL,
like everything else, so if you need media play back arrows, feel free
to steal them.)

But that isn't what is interesting - the main new feature is a set of
changes/enhancements to the TextLine attribute type, introduced in Beta
12 at the request of VACE community members. First, instead of keeping
the text string in its own attribute, it is linked to another attribute
that contains the string. This forced us to implement some of the
architecture for relation/fkey type attributes, so that is nice.
However, that means my current script for converting from oboxes to
textlines is broken; let me know if you need a fix sooner. Also, It has
some support for occlusions.

The other major change is to add yet another parameter to the omega
shape, allowing the shoulder line to move independently of the ellipse.

There is a bug in the ellipse editor when you drag the line as a whole.
Also, if you change an attribute to the textlineAttribute, the system
gets messed up in a way that is bad - it breaks the undo history and
does a bunch of other nasty things that are not immediately obvious.
I've fixed both of these and am building a replacement now.

Okay, I think I've fixed the bugs. I'll release a new version when I
get home.

Enjoy Beta 13b. Hopefully it works better.
