* Changes (since 0.3.1)

[in no particular order]

- A new component class hierarchy (and associated API) has been introduced. UCW now distinguishes between window component and widget components and provides better support for both.

- The untested, buggy and empty documentation application has been removed.

- The user's manual has been updated, improved and rewritten in LaTeX.

- The yaclml tags <ucw:form and <ucw:a now require an :action attribute.

- Two generic actions (ok and refresh-component) have been implementod.

- The session.value API has been improved.

- standard-application's entry-point table is now implemented as a hash-table, this greatly improves support for sites with many entry points.

- A new component class (container) has been added. It provides support for implementing components which manage other components. The container component defines various convience methods which simplyify the initialization and manipulation of sub components.

- The UCW inspector directly uses SLIME's inspector and produces similar output. The backtrack error pages now have inspector links. (as they did in UCW 0.1). Inspector anchors no longer pretty print the object.

- the render-on defgeneric has been moved into the protocol file where it should have been all along.

- render-on uses wrapping-standard method combination.

- The standard-component file has been split into multilpe files.

- Fixed mod_lisp's response object wiping

* Supported Platforms

SBCL and CMUCL have problems with :default-initargs (which UCW makes wide use of) but otherwise work fine. OpenMCL has no known issues. mod_lisp backend has been tested with all implementations, aserver backend has not been tested.
