February 2006 build
=============
IMPORTANT: FWH has been build with the most recent Harbour/xHarbour CVS code. This FWH will not work with previous January Harbour/xHarbour builds!
* Enhancement: GetCPU() function is properly working on new computers.
* Enhancement: FiveWin for CA-Clipper (16 bits) no longer needs COMMCTRL.DLL. If you plan to use ImageLists, then you should have it available, though the EXE will start normally even if it is not present.
* New: Class TWindow DATA nExStyle. It is automatically managed to use extended styles. Actually it is used from Class TGet and Class TMultiGet to properly manage borders when using XP themes.
* Enhancement: Class TImage has been modified to use FreeImage.dll (http://freeimage.sourceforge.net) instead of nview*.dll. You may review samples\TestImg.prg to review that the sample source code is the same but now it properly works with many different graphics formats and without errors. The sample has been improved to stretch or not the image and to save it to disk. Many thanks to Enrico for his great help.
Simply change nview*.dll into freeimage.dll in your apps, and everything may work as expected. You don't need to make any source code changes in your application.
* New: Class TButtonBmp Method Enable() and Disable(), now invoke ::Refresh() automatically.
* New: More Shell Common dialogs and functions:
SHExitWindows( hWnd )
It is the dialog when you select Shut Down from the Start menu. There is no return value for the function, so you have no way of knowing what the user selected or whether the operativon was canceled.
