Hi, the list generally looks good, I have some remarks which I hope might be helpful.

(dependent on #2 to test) maxLength is now simply called "length", both are still generally allowed (of course "length" is preferred"), they are just forbidden for field datatypes with implicit length (boolean, date...) > 4.

Yes, with the sizer: namespace, there is sizer:min_width, sizer:max_width etc. However, I'm not really happy with the way it works now, and I'm considering to change how this works. Maybe it's best to just not support this feature in designer for the time being. Other than that, gnue-forms automatically decides the entry size based on the length of the attached field, and this is what makes the most sense anyway. > g. will it be possible to specify 2-D alignment of boxes as in > forms/samples/layout/absolute.gfd ? You can nest vboxes and hboxes. There is no 2-D box. (yet). > 5. Open/Load either legacy (0.5) or current (0.6) GFD format files. > (Forms does this. maybe Designer gets free ride on Forms.) > 6.

Some things which have changed could surely be automated, like name changes of attributes (e.g. "maxLength" -> "length"). Thanks, Reinhard
