I'm planning on making another public release by the end of the month. There should be a few significant additions to the library:
TextArea (working properly)
Console
ComboBox
ContextMenu
Bug Fixes, API changes and additions, Desc members renamed
I've been starting to think about an editor, but even while I have a simple design in mind, it requires a PropertyGrid widget, which will take some time to think about and develop. Even thought I would like this to be done soon I can't put a date on it, have to mesh it in with my other projects and life routine.

No, I meant that the widget already exists, but I wanted to get it to a working state! I created it a while back but didn't put much work into it, I want to fix it now. Sorry for confusion, it will be done soon, its what I'm currently working on. The only thing that might be left out is text highlighting, which I'll do at a later time.

And for anybody wanting to start using the new (unofficial) version:

There is no risk involved with this version, its as or more stable than the 8.09 release. There are some interface breaking changes, such as property names. Other than that, its mostly bug fixes and the ComboBox widget.

Not only that, but I want support for scrolling of text. We currently have scrolling of Widgets working fine, but I need to re-use and update some of the scrolling system specifically for the TextArea widget since Text is not a widget. I'm also a fan of ctrl+end, ctrl+home to go to the beginning/end of text, so that will test if I can scroll up and down properly.

Sorry, been slacking on the TextArea widget. Instead, I've managed to update QuickGUI to use the Ogre memory macros. I'm happy to say the new version of QuickGUI has no known memory leaks!

I've finished the TextArea widget.
The Console Widget should be super easy to implement since it uses the TextBox and TextArea widgets. I'm going to see if I can figure out why QuickGUI and OpenGL aren't getting along. I will most likely make a new release on Wednesday night (31st), even if I didn't get around to developing everything I wanted to.
