All,

Although I have not completed the full set of things that I had planned for a 1.04 release, I think it is time. So I have bumped everything that remains on my list to 1.05.

Specifically this includes:
- Reini's CustomDraw changes
- Reini's other changes
- Thread support (Win32::GUI::ThreadUtils)
- dealing with console windows (Win32::GUI::Console)

I have a lot more planned for 1.05, but will wait to share that until we have 1.04 out of the door.

Now is the time to shout if you think there's anything you were expecting in 1.04 that's not there.

I'll be dealing with the documentation next: specifically doHTMLdocs.pl needs some work, and some other bits and pieces will need re-organising to accommodate the new modules.

I also intend to introduce a new package of documentation: Win32::GUI::ReleaseNotes, which will contain detailed release notes for each release we make. (it is my hope that we can update this, along with the CHANGELOG, whenever we commit to save this being a single large task for each release)

Once I have completed this (in the next few days I hope) I will make a beta PPM (probably for perl 5.8 only), and open it up to the users list for some sanity testing.

Hoping this meets everyone's approval.

Regards,
Rob.
