This week saw lots of development, with 30 new patches in
the tree, including several significant ones! We also added four
new contributors.
Congratulations to Jesus, Jesper, Dixie and
Petr.”

“The most significant checkin this week was from Martin, who
committed his extensive work on modeless dialogs. Additionally, he
made his Insert Symbol dialog modeless. His framework does not just
provide for modelessness, but also for proper dialog switching when
the focus switches. This checkin became the focus of significant
development effort for the rest of the week, as Bruce made the
Win32 Insert Symbol modeless, and Joaquin, Martin and Bruce all
improved the XP framework for modeless dialogs. Joaquin also
created a GNOME version of Insert Symbol.”
