Hello,

Find below a list of software updates and the updated roadmap.
In short: I've fixed bugs in the libraries, have extended
the Validation tutorial and have refreshed the demo apps.


UPDATES
Libraries:
o Binding 0.9.15
o Forms 1.0.4
o Looks 1.2.1
o Validation 0.9.3

Products:
o Looks Pro 1.2.1
o Swing Suite 1.3.1

Applications:
o The tools and demos use the most recent library versions.


COMMENTS
I recommend to update to the Looks 1.2.1, because the
1.2.0 version failed to display spinners and toolbar
separators in 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 environments.

The Validation tutorial and demo now demonstrate some
configurations for the JFormattedTextField. Both Forms
and Looks come with slightly improved HTML docs. And
the Forms JavaDocs contain example code for frequently
used methods.

For detailed change information see the RELEASE-NOTES.html
in the product distribution home directories; for an overview
see http://www.jgoodies.com/downloads/changes.html

*Important Note*: To avoid duplicate and incompatible library
versions in your classpath, I recommend to remove JGoodies
library jars from the extension directory (<jre-home>/lib/ext).


INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
The Forms API has been simplified. ColSpecs and RowSpec
are now immutable. This won't affect typical Forms code
but may affect visual builder tools. The Forms 1.0.5
will contain FormLayout#setColumnSpec and #setRowSpec
to modify columns and rows dynamically. A snapshot
build is already available at forms.dev.java.net.


ROADMAP
You can find the most recent version of the roadmap at
http://www.jgoodies.com/downloads/roadmap.html

The Looks 1.2.1 still lacks a better handling of fonts on
non-Windows platforms and in non-western environments.
This is the top priority for the upcoming Looks 1.3.
For a workaround and more information please see
https://looks.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10

The Data Binding library lacks a tutorial and demo.

I plan to ship a Swing Suite 1.3.2 that shall include
tutorial sources and a demo for the Binding library.

Best regards,
Karsten Lentzsch
