* Fixed: [Bug #11121] bugs with openwatcom 1.6 linker
* Reverted to notebook (instead of choicebook) for compiler and project options dialogs (due to popular demand).

* Make project active by double-clicking in project manager tree (patch #2017).

* Applied: [Patch #2021] Fix glitch with Find in Files search results failing to open (In modified form)
* Now debugging options would not be active if project has a compiling target.
* fix static lib target name construction :
- @ CompilerCommandGenerator::SetupOutputFilenames : take into account the yes/no of auto pre/post (it was always considered to be auto which is incorrect)
- @ CompileTargetBase::GenerateTargetFilename : don't just replace extension in case of auto post by '.a', use the extension from the compiler option, and when there's no compiler then fallback to the hardcoded '.a'
* CompileTargetBase::GetTargetFilenameGenerationPolicy : pointer args replaced by references (no need to check the pointer for 0 then)
* In case of open project on the 'start here page', set the filter directly to cbp files, and do NOT update the 'type of files' [== do NOT update the Filters in this case : (source) file <-----> project (file) ]
* added support for PHP in HTML lexer (thanks dmoore)
* Fixed: [Bug #11214] No cursor on Fine-in-files when no file open

============================================================
Contrib Plugins:

* Updated to AStyle 1.20.2
CodeSnippets
------------
* Fixed a number of compilation issues.
* update.bat remove old unused commands
* Set launch LD_LIBRARY_PATH relative to AppPath
* Removed OnIdle() dynamic merging. Set Merge just before user definitions.
* Fixed disappearing "duplicate" menu items. If mis-matched id, just leave 'em alone.

Envvars
-------
* Updated: allow 1..n envvars sets (similar GCV sets)
Keybinder
---------
* Tim S fix to keybinder.cbp
RegExTestBed
------------
* Fixed wxSmith extensions in RegExTestbed plugin
Scripted Wizard
---------------
* Class wizard now keeps the same class-name capitalization for the generated filenames.
* Fixed: Wizard not overwriting existing files when told to do so.
* Updated Win32GUI wizard to generate proper project for Borland compiler.
* Fixed: [Bug #11193] The .cbp is incorrectly named at project creation (Linux)

* Wrapped Linux hack for scripted wizard introduced in Rev 4004.
* Fixed: Wizard.GetProjectTitle() should now work properly according to new changes made in ProjectPathPanel.
wxSmith
-------
* Added wxGrid
* Removed any code related to user-defined items (it was unfinished and buggy, wxSmith extension like contrib items plugin is better solution than this)
* Fixed: bug in editor scrolling (couldn't easily scroll editor area)
* Fixed: bug causing empty sizers to have 0x0 size (appeared in wx 2.8 )
* Removed most "standard" events for most of widgets, they're not supported in wxGTK, not granted to work on any specific platform and it's just risky for now (I thought it's wx bug, but ppl say it's how it should work on wx forum :/ )
* When regenerating source code, EOL line mode is now fetched from sources, not from C::B settings, that prevents "Inconistent EOL" svn message during commit in some circumstances
* Applied patch #2024: wxSmith: MenuEditor loosing variable and member state made by raph
* Added detection of modal dialogs which prevents few artifacts on editor
* Fixed bug #10678: Changes of variabe names not directly shown in resource tree
* Fixed bugs in wxCustomButton so it is now enabled in list of contrib items
* Changed int to size_t in wxsCoder to prevent compiler warnings (suggested by MortenMacFly)
* Image files now have 32 or 16 suffix depending on resolution (previously 32 suffix was skipped)
* wxSmithContribItems: Finally found the bug causing undefined symbols: typo inside #pragma interface. That proves that #pragma interface / #pragma implementation may only cause problems (GCC can work without them for a long time now) and should not be used if not necessary
* Fixed bug in long string properties (multiline editor was not shown)
