I don't know about you folks, but my personal ambitions for 1.8, that yet to be
done
are :
1. Better gradients ( almost done )
2. Image scaling with pixel averaging (will partly use same code as new
gradients ).
3. Fixed window movement in Pager.
4. Converting everything into new parser config reading-writing
( some notes about using XML for config follows in other letter ).
5. Converting all the modules into using new module code from libafterstep.
6. ASTheme module - for theme support.
taking on account current speed of development - it may jolly well take
all the way up to Christmass, before 1.8 comes out.
