Sorry, these days I just add things to Speck as I need them and fix
bugs when I see them. I do keep track of significant changes and I
have a big list somewhere, which I can't find right now (moved offices
recently - it's in a notepad, not a file, I use three different
computers and I'm not always connected to the internet when working on
Speck).

Most of the recent changes are with the portal framework, I'm using
this at my new company for the basis for a web site products. The
portal framework is basically un-documented, because I simply haven't
the time to document it. New features include content indexing (that
doesn't rely on verity), extensible user profiles and inherited
permissions for assets.

As regards changes to the core of Speck, a few of the most recent
changes are:
* Picker property has a new "dependent" attribute, used to make picked
(bad legacy terminology) items depenent on the parent. When the parent
is deleted or promoted, the picked item is too.
* Asset property has built in image manipulation using ImageCFC. I had
been using ImageCFC within contentPut methods for a few content types
and finally decided to just make it part of the core.
* Secure asset download now has a server wide thread limit of 5 - i.e.
the asset download script will return 503 server busy to any new
requests if it is already running 5 requests.
* Date property now uses select boxes where possible if richEdit is
set to false. DateTime property not yet updated.
* New version of FCKEditor
* Updated forceParagraphs() function used by HTML property
* Minor updates to capitalize() function

There have been a pile of other updates over the past 6 months, when I
find that list, I'll send post a message here with the details.
