WebObjects Builder Changes

WebObjects Builder has two new major features for 4.0: Undo and frame editing support.

You can now undo changes using Control-z on Windows NT, Command-z on Mac OS X Server, or by choosing Undo from the Edit menu.
To create a frameset, execute the New Frameset command from the Component menu. WebObjects Builder creates an HTML file that defines a frameset. Within the frameset, you can define either static frame elements or dynamic WOFrame elements.

In addition, the following changes have been made to WebObjects Builder:

WebObjects Builder's handling of incorrect HTML has been improved.
WebObjects Builder now properly preserves whitespace in your HTML.
WebObjects Builder now has an "HTML reformat" option in raw mode.
The Palettes menu now has a SaveAs menu item, allowing you to save a palette to a new location.
The WebObjects Builder toolbar is now active in raw mode.
WebObjects Builder now understands fully-qualified Java classes.
Escape completion is now supported in combo boxes.
Performance has been improved when rendering large or complex pages.
WebObjects Builder now supports a graphical alternative display for shared/reusable components (WXY.wo contains WXY.tiff / WXY.bmp, for example). It has no built-in support for generating them, however; you have to insert the image file manually, without help from WebObjects Builder.
WebObjects Builder now works on Japanese-language systems (it works with the platform-provided language-input system, such as that provided with the Japanese version of Windows NT).
