Hi,
Once again a new version of PmWikiDraw has been released.  As usual
I've strived to ensure that the latest version is properly backwards
compatible which it is to my knowledge.

New features:
* Selectable Line Widths
* Selected Line styles (dashed/dotted etc)
* Proper Colour Palette to allow unrestricted choice (apart of course
from the GIF 217  colour limit)
* Context sensitve toolbars, When an object is selected a set of
buttons replace the original toolbar with operations such as
cut,copy,paste, delete etc.  Much faster. (Please note I still need
icons for these buttons, any offers? )
* Anti-aliasing.  Images are now anti-aliased by default.  This
results in much smoother more professional looking diagrams (imo) if
this isn't for you then you can turn this feature off in the 'Drawing'
menu by unchecking 'High quality'.

Bug Fixes
* Lines with a gradient were not selectable properly.
* CR character in a textarea broke drawing loading.
* TextAreas couldn't be re-edited after being created.
* TextAreas were causing GIF generation to fail as not properly
releasing their clipping area.
* TextAreas did not respect Font Attribute settings.
* StackOverFlows when connecting a connector to itself.
* Horizontal and vertical lines were impossible to draw!

Notes
Please note that you will *not* be able to 'style' lines that are
currently in your drawing, this is due to the way styling has been
implemented, any other way of doing it would've broken old drawings. 
In order to style a line you'll need to delete the old line first,
then recreate it, sorry :(

Special thanks to Knut Alboldt who has suffered many minor iterations
on your behalf <g>

As usual any comments/feedback greatly appreciated.
