-------------------
Corrections:
- Corrected a quite big bug... my experts were wasting 2 handles/sec. 
- Corrected another bug in the TBUZoom. It wasn't working fine under NT. 
- Corrected bugs on all transparent related components, the region wasn't correctly restored. 
- Corrected a bug in the TBUGradient for System Colors. 
- Corrected a small bug for some computers. On a p100, my experts weren't loading the default forms positions correctly ... 
- Corrected some problems with specials chars in the TBUWinampLabel 
- Corrected some stupid bugs (I had forgotten to free a lot of things in prior version) 
- Corrected a small bug in the Control Panel expert, the name of the exported function wasn't in the good case. 
- Corrected a "index out of bound" error in the "code to html" expert. 
- Corrected a bug in the TBUDirectories, and then corrected bugs in 5/6 components who were using it. (Like the TBUSelectGroup,...) 

Additions:
- Added a "runtime error" expert. 
- Added a MP3 palette, with all MP3 stuffs. 
- Added a component in the MP3 palette, TBUBreatheSkin to be able to read Breathe Skin (to make your own mp3 player !) 
- Added a new component in the "BU Utils2" palette. It lists all component installed. This was a request of an user. 
- Added a Waiting Gradient in the "BU Controls" palette. Like in a famous browser's statusbar. 
- Added a component in the "BU MP3" palette. Component to control everything from WinAmp via API Messages. 
- Added some comments on the help, the help is still not a complete book, but it's already enough to understand. 
- Added a GUID expert in the BUTools menu. This expert inserts a unique GUID in your project. 
- Added a popupmenu in the Component generator, on the insert button, to add predefined methods. 
- Added a possibility to change the font in the tips of the experts (via a popup menu) 
- Added methods to load/save to CSV files from a TBUListView. (CSV is a compatible format with Excel,Access,...) 
- Added methods to load/save to CSV files, stream, and files from a TBUStringGrid. 
- Added two events in the TBUListView and TBUStringGrid to receive the progression when saving/loading files. 
- Added a new property in the TBUEdit to limit the text following his width. 
- Added a password protection in the TBUPatchFile. You can encrypt the data by a keyword. The component is fully compatible with previous version, you don't have to modify anything if you don't want to encrypt the data. 
- Added a new component (TBUSpecialImage) in the BU Multimedia palette. New image component to modify the brightness, to flip, mirror or invert the image. Also included a fadein/fadeout method. 
- Added a new component in the BU Control palette : TBUSpecialProgress. It's like the TProgressBar, but transparent, with gradient and with some others new properties. 
- Added a expert to add/remove or toggle comments.

Enhancement:
- BUToolbar is now available in multiple edit windows ... 
- BUToolbar creation has been ameliorated. I was using a timer, now, i'm using a hook. Your cpu will appreciate a lot ;) 
- Reduced the amounth of NagScreen. You'll only get it once on startup, or if you limit has expired. 
- Now, when you use one of the BU Expert, the generated text is selected. 
- I have modified the automatic sort in the TBUListView. When a column is clicked, an event is fired to ask the type of data of the column (Numeric, alphaNumeric, Date, Currency, ...). 
- Modified the Delphi Spy. Now, all enumerated types are supported, without any exception, even your own enumerated type is supported!. 
- Modified the Component Generator. Now it also imports and exports events. I have also corrected a small bug (properties of all TPersistent weren't saving to the DFM). 
- Modified the RC editor to support also icon/bitmap and cursor. Old files are still supported. 
- Modified the TBUScrollText component. Now this isn't a timer anymore, but a thread !. The result is quite better !. 
- Modified the TBUScrollText again ! The TextSelectable property has been removed due to big changements in the component. Color and font are better supported. 
- ToolBar has been modified, the aspect if now flat.
