<p>This release fixes a lot of bugs in the interpreter, the development environment, the GUI components...
Most noteworthy are:

<li>The CR / NL input conversion flags is cleared when initializing a serial port.
<li>Using <tt>gb.desktop</tt> made the interpreter crash at exit in some cases.
<li>In <tt>gb.qt</tt>, TreeView.Count and ColumnView.Count now return the number of items in the view like in <tt>gb.gtk</tt>, not just the number of root items.
<li>ComboBox now raises the Click event when it gets its first element, because that element is automatically selected.

I finally put the development source code on SubVersion. To get a snapshot of the current
development version, you must do:
<pre>$ svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gambas/2.0/trunk/

I will make tags for next releases, and to get them you will have to do:
<pre>$ svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gambas/2.0/tags/1.9.XX/
</pre>
To get a write access to the subversion repository, you must have an account on SourceForge,
and then give me your user name, so that I add you to the list of developers.
<p>You must of course be a true developer, and know how to use SubVersion!
