Hello All!

JW Lua beta version 0.21 is now available for download. One major new 
addition is the ability to use modules/libraries with the "require" 
function. The search path is set up with the Preferences dialog box, 
accessed through the "..." button to the bottom left.

Another thing that has changed is that the way file loads and saves in 
the editor is very different. The documents should now be consistent 
between Windows and Mac and pure UTF-8, but you might get some extra 
line feeds in older documents.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS! There's a known bug you should be 
aware of: pressing the Ctrl key and a character key will erase any 
selected text from the document. So if you for example press Ctrl+F to 
find text, make sure that there is no selected text first. I hope to 
have this fixed in the next release.

Changed and fixed things in this build:
* Bug fix: Loading large documents on the Mac would cause random line 
breaks in the text
* Files on Mac and Windows should now look identical and UTF-8 in the editor
* Added FCUI:TextToClipboard() method
* Ctrl+S now saves file in Windows editor
* Ctrl+O now opens file in Windows editor
* Ctrl+N now creates a new file in Windows editor
* Ctrl+F now displays the Find text dialog box
* Fixed bug where GetAlteration() and GetIDWithTransposition() were 
missing in FCKeySignature
* Added FCStaves.Delete() static method
* "require" now gets syntax highlighting in editor
* Reload() method added to all data classes
* Fixed a bug where FCMeasure.PositioningNotesMode returned wrong type
* Added the following properties to FCCellMetrics: MusicStartPos, 
LeftEdge, Width, MusicWidth, FrontRepeatWidth, BackRepeatWidth
* Search paths can now be managed for the "require" function, through 
the Preferences dialog box.
* Changed so shape barlines now are directly settable.
* Fixed a bug where FCMeasure.LeftBarline didnt't handle the 
BARLINE_DEFAULT correctly
* The first version of test unit scripts (will be released separately)
