+===============================================================================
+Dabo 0.8 (2007-04-01) (Revision 3010):
+
+Enhancements:
++ dbFirebird - Minor improvements by Uwe Grauer.
+
++ dbPostgreSQL - Improvements by John Fabiani, including some missing data
+  types and support for schemas.
+
++ EasyDialogBuilder - minor improvements by Nate Lowrie.
+
++ Added ensureLineVisible() method in dEditor, which even unfolds if needed.
+
++ Added datanav2; deprecated datanav. datanav2 no longer supports fieldSpecs,
+  relationSpecs, and other things. The general theme is that the generated
+  code is meant to be taken as boilerplate to be edited by the developer to
+  achieve the desired results.
+
++ Added WordWrap to dGrid columns while in edit mode.
+
++ Enhanced dShell to have Dabo property access, including Font properties.
+
++ Added support for SQL-JOIN clauses in the sql builder.
+
++ Improved dDateTextBox.
+
++ Coerce dMessageBox messages into strings, which is convenient.
+
++ Added/enhanced unit tests for dCursor, dBizobj, dTextBox, and dForm.
+
++ Improved data binding to bizobjs on a parent form.
+
++ Added the concept of VirtualFields to dBizobj, which provides a simple,
+  flexible interface to reference calculated fields on the fly.
+
++ dGrid's navigation now traps and responds to business rule violations, with
+  mediation by the form if possible. 
+
++ Added database logging, an optional feature.
+
++ Improved SQLite by providing DictCursors.
+
++ Added enclosing of table, field, and other names in the appropriate quote
+  character for the database backend in use. This allows for cases such as
+  spaces in field names. Control whether quoting happens automatically using
+  the dBizobj.AutoQuoteNames property.
+
++ dTreeView supported in ClassDesigner-designed files.
+
++ Added oldVal() method to dBizobj, which takes a field name and returns the
+  value of the field at the time of the last requery.
+
++ Added Icon property to dApp, which will become the default Icon for all
+  forms and dialogs, if not overridden at the form level.
+
++ Simplified drag/drop in dabo.ui.
+
++ Began work on new unit testing harness, with Nate Lowrie at the helm.
+
++ Added dabo.ui.getChoice() and getChoices(), which present a list of choices
+  to the user, and return the user's selection(s).
+
++ Added dBizobj.deleteAllChildren()
+
++ Added TextLength property to dTextBox, to limit the number of characters
+  that can be typed in by the user. Courtesy Nate Lowrie.
+
++ Big fixes and enhancements, as always, to runtime cdxml instantiation, 
+  including much better inheritance of properties.
+
++ Improved font zooming. Improved handling of resizing fonts for different
+  platforms (Mac), so that you have cross-platform consistency. Thanks to
+  Dj Gilcrease for help in working this out.
+
++ Added ability to set parameters to pass to default values in dBizobj.
+
++ General move away from accepting specific keyword arguments to class 
+  constructors, in favor of accepting property values instead.
+
++ Added Continuous property to dSlider, which determines whether Hit is 
+  raised while the slider is being changed, or only after the user has
+  finished sliding.
+
++ Improved autocompletion in dEditor.
+
+Bug Fixes:
++ dRadioList.ButtonSpacing wasn't able to be set from initProperties() or
+  as an argument to the constructor. Fixed.
+
++ Starting in wxPython 2.7, our dialogs weren't giving focus to the first
+  control. Fixed.
+
++ More wxPython 2.8 bugfixes in dMenu, dPageFrame
+
++ Fixed dConnection and dConnectInfo to raise exceptions if improper
+  arguments are passed. Ditto for dSizer*.
+
++ Fixed dBorderSizer to stay in back of the controls contained within it.
+
++ Fixed ForeColor to work immediately on Gtk.
+
++ Controls were flushing their value, and raising ValueChanged events, too
+  many times. Fixed.
+
++ Dialogs and forms weren't able to set things like whether they have a 
+  close box, from within initProperties. Fixed.
+
++ Message dialogs invoked like dabo.ui.areYouSure() weren't getting attached
+  to the appropriate parent form, so that the message displayed wouldn't 
+  activate the form that it applied to first. Fixed.
+
++ Fixed rapid flashing in a sorted dGrid when an editable column was selected.
+
++ Added moveToPK() method in dBizobj
