OK, well the wording of the release notes implies that some properties that were previously returned are no longer there, at least by my reading. I know some properties that were missing have been included in 6.1 and that's great.
I did a quick test to compare the properties returned by 6.1 and 5.5 for a stack, card, field and button. The following properties have been added for those objects in 6.1: STACK fullscreen editMenus systemWindow shadowOffset CARD shadowOffset FIELD None BUTTON None I can't say for sure but I'm pretty sure there are still missing properties The following properties are returned in 5.5 but NOT in 6.1 STACK menubar linkHiliteColor patterns colors linkVisitedColor title linkColor textStyle underlineLinks password scroll behavior textSize textFont CARD rect patterns defaultButton colors textStyle behavior textSize textFont FIELD None BUTTON None I'm hoping my test script is flawed because that seems like a mess if it's true.
