The 8th alpha release of the formatted text project is now
available for download. This alpha is very close to becoming a
beta and most of the main functionality is in place. The next
release after this one will be the first beta and will be made
available for inclusion in your own projects.
In this alpha I changed the way certain keys are handled, so it
should not crash on international keyboard under OS X. I would
like to hear from people using non-US keyboard layouts. First, it
should not crash on startup. Second, I would like to know if the
following keys are functioning properly.
arrow keys - move around in the text
shift-arrow keys - selects text
home, end keys - moves to beginning or the end of the document
page up and down keys - moves up and down a page in the document
Key pad keys - should be accepted as input
All other keys (like the F1-F16 keys) should be ignored other than
the normal character keys.

What's new in this release...
- You can now set the page size to any size you want. In the test
application only three page sizes are implemented. Also, in the
test application The left, right, top, and bottom margins are now
specified as relative margins to their respective margin in the
GUI.
- Implemented paragraph styles. In the test application three
paragraph styles were implemented. These style will affect all
paragraphs spanned by the current selection. If nothing is
selected, then the paragraph containing the insertion caret will
be changed.
- You can set individual paragraph margins and the before and
after space of the paragraph.
- Added pre and post page drawing events that allow your draw onto
the page before and after the content is drawn. This allows you to
place page numbers, headers and footers, watermarks, etc. on the
page.
- You can now set the color of the selected text.
- Made it user friendly for allocation of custom objects.
- Changed the way certain keys are handled, so it should not crash
on international keyboard under OS X.

Is the implementation of Variant.Hash for Strings the same across all
computers and platforms?
Instead of sending an MD5 string, can I use Variant.Hash to compare
two strings across a network? Specifically, I would like to bind to
a "random" network port based on a string constant built into the
application.
Variant.Hash isn't guaranteed to work that way, even though it probably
happens to do so (except perhaps for UTF-16 strings, which would have
their bytes swapped on some platforms). I'd stick with MD5 if I were
you.
Best,
