WidgetFX 1.1 Release

[Keith]

WidgetFX 1.1 is now officially available. This release is primarily
to support JavaFX 1.1. There are also some performance improvements
that will be of interest to widget developers.

All widgets will now have to be converted to JavaFX 1.1 to run in
Widget FX. For help with this process see Steve's Blog here:

Setting a clip on your widget will now provide significant drawing
performance improvements for widgets that are highly animated. If you
have performance issues when dragging or resizing your widget, give
this a try. The clipping region should be set to the outer bounds of
your widget. For example from Clock contructor:

override var clip = Circle {
centerX: bind width / 2,
centerY: bind height / 2,
radius: bind min(width, height) / 2
}

I've recompiled DiskSpace Widget with this version.

And let me just point out that if you, like me, have auto upgraded the JavaFX compiler you will have lost the rt.jar 1.6 hack. Sure made me confused for a while before I remembered it ;)
