**Foreword**
[SeS] '''Thank you''' to all Tcl'ers who have contributed on wiki.tcl.tk and all the package developers, tG² would not have been possible, and certainly not within this relative short period of time without your efforts to share and guide relative newcomers (like myself) on the correct path.

   * Beta 8 released

[SeS] (12-5-2011)
   * Beta 17 released

   * Beta 41 released, finally things are stable and most features that I had in mind are implemented and gone through testing.
     What remains in near future are:
      - undo for hierarchical changes of objects in Layout Editor, this involves also auto-redraw in case of objects that are managed by the Pack geometry manager.
      - Further cleanup and review of scripts to improve in terms of size & speed & efficient coding.

[SeS] (23-12-2012)
   * Introducing BWidget wrapper to support drag & drop of BWidget layout objects. Many more improvements and new features, a more comprehensive list of updates is available inside the release notes.
