DESCRIPTION
  This is a framework which tries to make building complex GUI's
  easy, by offering these two main features:

  * Consistent looking GUI without the need to code resp. tune
    each widget by hand. Instead you declare the structure of your
    GUI, connect it to the data of your program (which should be
    a well defined set of objects) and control how this structure
    is transformed into a specific layout in a very generic way.

  * Automatically keep widget and object states in sync (in both
    directions), even with complex data structures with a lot of
    internal dependencies, object nesting etc.

CHANGES

0.56 Wed Jul 20, 2005, joern
    Features:
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Rules:
      - added 'zero', 'non-zero', 'positive-zero-integer',
        'negative-zero-integer', 'positive-zero-float',
        'negative-zero-float' rules.
      - added special 'or-empty' rule, refer to the man page
        for details.
      - added 'executable-command' rule.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context:
      - added get_object_attr() helper method to retrieve
        a specific application object attribute
      - added 'accessor' option to the ->add_object() method
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget:
      - added 'label_for' attribute, so auto-generated labels
        can be bound to specific widgets as well.
      - added 'avtive_cond' and 'active_depends' attributes
        for direct activity control of the widget.
      - added 'changed_hook_after'
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Popup:
      - added 'items' attribute for static popup content
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Popup:
      - default 'scale' to 1 of no other scaling options
        are given, images would be invisible without this.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory:
      - added 'with_cancel' option to the ->open_confirm_window()
        helper method
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::CheckButtonGroup:
      - dimensions can be configured through application
        object attributes. Row and/or column labels may
        be added.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Label:
      - added bold option.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Layout:
      - center button icons/labels.

    Bugfixes:
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Combo: rule checking didn't work.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget: rule checking in synchronized
      FormFactories didn't work if no object attribute was
      associated with the widget
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Table: due to missing outer whitespace
      truncation parsing of some table layouts was messed up.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::List: dropped "selects_object"
      feature introduced in 0.55 because this can be easily done
      by defining attribute dependencies.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Layout: setting a label group
      didn't work for Label widgets, only for implicite labels
      set through the Widget's label attribute.
    - Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Loader: VSeparator setup was missing.
