The 6th alpha release of the formatted text project is now
available for download. This alpha adds a bunch of stuff including
picture support, paragraph alignments, and enhancements to
selecting and moving around in the text.

What's new in this release...

- Enhanced the selection algorithms.

- The display contents are scrolled to keep caret visible when
moving around. This is supported for drag-selection, arrow key
selection, and arrow key movement.

- Added basic picture support. You can't cut, paste, or resize the
pictures yet. That functionality will be added in a future
release. The picture object will become the base class for you to
add custom items such as graphs, charts, or whatever you can think
of.

- You can set the paragraph alignment (left, center, and right)
for selected paragraphs or the paragraph that contains the caret.
I have not worked out every little nuance yet with right and
center justification, but it works pretty good.

- Added tags to all internal objects so that you can attach
anything you like to an object. This will give you flexibility to
perform extra processing as you see fit.
