This release includes numerous enhancements, but
also introduces some major QuiX API changes. The
base widget class (Widget) has been refactored
such that a single attribute change does not
require a full redraw. This release also
introduces the term "off-line widget", a major
performance enhancement. A widget hierarchy can be
detached in memory, and attached again, whenever
this is needed. On the server side, a new utility
has been included. The "db_init" script
initializes a blank Porcupine database. Localized
strings are now kept inside UTF-8 encoded Python
script files.
