- Fix a problem starting the standalone ribbon generator the first time
- Apply a new layout to the UI

20110601
- IMPORTANT: New standalone versions of the ribbon generator and caster 
     controller are available and support Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) only. My 
     only pre 10.6 computer died last month, so it will be practically 
     impossible to make the new tool available to non-intel Mac users. I can 
     still fix most kinds of bugs in the existing software, but I recommend 
     upgrading when possible.
- Each user gets private storage for mats and stopbars. Initially a copy of 
    all stopbars and matcases will be copied into each user's private area. 
    Each user may then delete any unwanted items.
- A user may mark a stopbar or matcase as "public", which allows them to be 
    seen and copied (but not modified) by other users.
- Stopbars and matcases may be downloaded to your own computer for safekeeping
     or manual modification (for experts only!)
- Stopbars and matcases can be imported from files on your local computer 
    (such as those exported from the standalone ribbon generator). Note that 
    you must make sure that any stopbar referenced by a matcase is already 
    loaded into the system before importing the matcase. failure to do so will
    result in an error.
- New ribbon generator option to treat lower and upper case characters as 
    equal when using small-caps
- New ribbon generator  option to allow substitution of roman punctuation 
    when setting italics and the italic alphabet is missing punctuation
- Soft proof will display sorts whose widths have been adjusted from the 
    standard wedge width on a colored background with an overbar above the sort.
- Caster Control and Ribbon Generator apps have a new "check for updates" 
    feature.

20110413
- standalone apps are now generated via build scripts for consistency
- caster control app now has preference for permanent cycle sensor install

20110405
- standalone ribbon generator stores logs in ~/Library/Application Support.

20110301
- ribbon generator: sort mcas and wedges alphabetically
- ribbon generator: add larger set widths
- ribbon generator: display adjusted width casts with an overscore in soft 
    proof
- ribbon generator: sort out hyphenation a little better (unnatural line 
    breaks in particular)

20110104
- standalone ribbon generator seems to work now; stores data in 
    ~/Library/Application Support, and copies fresh db if not present.

20100923
- ribbon generator: added <setpagenumber n> command.
- ribbon generator: added <romanpagenumber> and <lowercaseromanpagenumber> commands.

20100907
- mca editor: added bold elements to drag-n-drop.

20100823
- ribbon generator: added <pagebreak> command
- ribbon generator: added option to omit hyphen when using non-standard line breaks
    (useful for generating fonting e-ribbons.)

20100820
- ribbon generator: display bold and small caps in a more 
    illustrative style within "soft proof".
- ribbon generator: offset colors of adjacent fixed spaces within "soft proof"
    in order to visualize space sizes when quadding.
- ribbon generator: header and footer support - set line length in the ribbon
    generator and use the <header></header><footer></footer>, <eheader></eheader>,
    <efooter></efooter>, <oheader></oheader>, <ofooter></ofooter> commands to
    specify head and footer definitions for all pages, even and odd pages, respectively.
- ribbon generator: added <pagenumber> command to insert current page number.

20100817
- ribbon generator: add option to trip caster with long line
    at end of the job.

20100722
- ribbon generator: only allow adjustment of 1 unit for JS when
    working with set sizes larger than 12.
- ribbon generator: allow non-standard hyphenation, useful when
    generating "font" ribbons.

20100630
- ribbon generator: treat carriage returns a line feeds (no more
    mysterious justifying spaces at the beginning of lines)
- identified problem in hyphenation engine that drops trailing 
    periods from hyphenated words.

20100602
- caster controller: fix errors when using manual pin control before
    loading a ribbon file.
- caster controller: "all on" and "all off" buttons work properly with
    cycle sensor override.

20100505
- caster controller: add cycle status indicator

20100504
- ribbon generator: display set text up to point of error when problem occurs.
- ribbon generator: <sN> command will accept any number of units and will assemble the
     required number of fixed spaces to reach the total requested.
- ribbon generator: cast fixed spaces on the line in the order provided by the
     quadding algorithm rather than sorting them by size. This should keep the mould 
     cooler when quading using 9 and 18 unit spaces.

20100423

- caster controller: add "jump to line" feature

20100422
