			* GuiControl:
			** added function clearControls() for removing all controls[] at once
			** you can make controls easily alpha-transparent or color them by accessing the following attributes:
			*** red (0..1)
			*** green (0..1)
			*** blue (0..1)
			*** alpha (0..1)
			*** color (for changing all color attributes at once, format is {0..255,0..255,0..255,0..255})
			*** mode (0 - add, 1 - alpha transparent, 2 - subtract, 3 - daynight effect)
			*** this will also colorize the sub-controls or make the sub-controls alpha-transparent
			*** if sub-controls don't want to be made transparent then use an alpha value greater than 1 (e.g. 10)
			** the attribute "clipmove" is now also taken into account when resizing the control - by default the engine is making sure that you don't move a control out of the parents bounds, by setting clipmove = false that check is disabled
			** fixed problems with the onShow/onHide events, they are now invoked when a control is becoming actually visible or invisible on the screen (corresponding to control.isActuallyVisible())
			** you can let controls "flicker" by setting flickering = true;
			*** you can change the flicker interval by setting "flickertime"
			*** let controls flicker non-synchronized by setting "flickerbasetime" to a random value
			** added attribute "hinttime" (by default 0.5 seconds) which says after how much time of the mouse not moving the hint will be shown
			** fixed problems with centered GUI-controls (horizSizing = "center", vertSizing = "center") which are now correctly centered when added, not only when the parent control is resized
			** fixed odd resizing of the parent control when a child control uses horizSizing = "left" and x is below 0, or vertSizing = "top" and y is below 0
			** new script event: onFirstResponderChanges(newfirstresponder) is invoked when the input focus switched to another control
			** fixed some problems with added controls receiving the input focus even if they shouldn't
			** onKeyDown() and onKeyUp() now give an exact keycode as first parameter which includes modifier keys
			*** modifier values are 0x100 for shift, 0x200 for control key, 0x400 for alt key
			*** you can check e.g. for control key by if ((keycode & 0x200)!=0)
			** added support for dragging files from files explorer to Graal GUI controls to expand the functionality of scripted RC and level editors:
			*** set control.acceptdropfiles = true
			*** once the user drops a file on the control an event controlname.onDropFiles(mousexpos,mouseypos,files) will be invoked, parameters are the mouse x and y positions and an array of filenames (with at least one file in it, but can be more than that)
			*** to let the scripted RC upload the file call uploadFile(filename)
			*** if you script editors, then you can use this to let the user place graphics or gani files in the level or editor space
			*** this is currently working on Windows and Linux (where it only shows the drop-icon when the control under the mouse is actually accepting the files)

			* GuiFlashCtrl:
			** accepts urls (on Windows) for displaying videos and similar
			** if you want the file downloaded instead of streamed, set downloadWebfiles=true;
			** the position of the flash control is correctly updated when the parent control is moving
			** flash controls can be partially clipped (e.g. be inside a scroll control)
			** flash controls work on Linux
			*** it is automatically checking for libflashplayer.so in the firefox or mozilla plugin folder
			*** web videos are currently not working
			** some attributes have renamed, but the old variant is still work: use "tryplugin" instead of "tryactivex" and "requiresplugin" instead of "requiresactivex"

			* GuiContextMenuCtrl:
			** correctly draws the icon even if an entry has no text
			** updates the icons when an image drawn on the icon has been downloaded
			** readded attribute "maxpopupheight" which limits the height of the menu for preventing the menu from covering the whole screen (also works for GuiPopUpCtrl and GuiPopUpEditCtrl since they are using a GuiContextMenuCtrl for displaying the menu)
			** new function openAtMouse() which opens the menu at the mouse position, use this if possible instead of open(x,y)

			* GuiPopUpCtrl:
			** when closing a combo box (GuiPopUpCtrl) or similar then it is not wrongly switching the focus to the next control anymore

			* GuiScrollCtrl:
			** added functions scrollToTop() and scrollToBottom() which simply call scrollto(0, 0) and scrollto(0, 0x7fffffff)
			** added checks for HOME and END key for scrolling to the top or to the bottom
			** when profile.bitmap is updated (or the file is updated) then the size of the up/down button and scroll bar are updated

			* GuiMLTextCtrl:
			** added html-tag <blink>blinking text</blink>
			** added support for ampersand character codes like & which displays a "&"
			** fixed a problem with two new lines adding a space in front of the line (when they should be ignored)
			** fixed a problem with lists (ul-tag) not being correctly indented
			** fixed a problem with scrolling back to the last click position when resizing the control when it's inside a scroll control (only supposed to happen for GuiMLTextEditCtrl)
			** set "htmllinks = true" if you want Graal to automatically open a webbrowser when clicking on a link
			** scrollToTag(tagname) accepts tagnames starting with "#" (it will automatically remove the "#" to match the tag names)
			** better compatibility for the "size" attribute inside "font" tags:
			*** when the size is between 1 and 7 then it will use HTML-compatible font sizing (1 - small, 3 - default size, 7 - large text)
			*** when size is above 7 then it will still use it for the exact font size for compatibility with existing Graal scripts
			** fixed problems with breaking words at the end of the line
			** html comments <!-- comments --> are ignored now, as well as several non-supported tags (form, head, label, object, select)

			* GuiTextListEntry:
			** added "flickertime" (by default 1 second) which specifies the flicker interval of the icon of the list entry
			** easier selection of multiple entries via keyboard: you can now use the Home and End keys and select several entries by pressing Shift and moving the cursor keys

			* GuiTextEditSliderCtrl:
			** support for floating point ranges (e.g. range = {0.1,1}), to display floating point values set format = "%.1f" or similar

			* GuiTextEditCtrl:
			** fixed resizing problems when horizSizing is "width", it is not allowing anymore that the parent control is made smaller and messing up the size of the text edit field

			* GuiWindowCtrl:
			** new attribute "clientrelative" - if enabled then sub-controls are positioned automatically to not overlap the header or the borders;
			*** use clientwidth and clientheight to get the available space for sub-controls
			*** this allows to use different GUI styles/profiles without manually updating the position of sub-controls
			*** clipping is only done for left, right and bottom side to allow placing of custom buttons on the title bar
			** new function isActiveWindow() to know if this is the currently selected window (top window in the list of its parents children) and is drawn highlighted
			** a window is activated / put on top of the other windows when you click with the mouse on a sub-control (previously you needed to click on the window title for that)

			* GuiSliderCtrl:
			** the slider can be moved by keyboard (Up/Left for reducing the value, Right/Down for increasing the value, Home and End for jumping to the minimum or maximum value)
			** the position of the thumb is automatically updated when the control is resized

			* GuiCheckBoxCtrl:
			** draws the graphics for the pressed-state also when the mouse is over the control, for improving the look

			* GuiButtonCtrl (also GuiCheckBoxCtrl, GuiRadioCtrl):
			** added support for hot-keys: if the button text contains a "&" then the following character will be underlined and the button will be activated when that key is pressed, e.g. you can activate a button that has the text "&Close" by pressing 'C'
			*** use "&&" if you just want to display a "&" without the hot-key function
			** improved the support to navigate the GUI via keyboard:
			*** buttons, tabulator buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, combo boxes (GuiPopUpCtrl) and sliders are now by default tabable which means that you can move the focus to them by pressing the Tab key (if the window has the input focus)
			*** when a button, check box or radio button has the focus then you can move the focus to the next or previous control by pressing up/left/down/right (e.g. scrolling through a list of buttons)

			* GuiShowImgCtrl:
			** fixed clipping of GuiShowImgCtrls which use "text" - you need to specify width, height, offsetx and offsety if you don't want to have the text clipped (especially needed when you use style "c" for centered text or "r" for right-aligned text)

			* GuiInputCtrl:
			** Linux/Mac: fixed a problem with GuiInputCtrl capturing the focus on creation even if it's not visible
