Hi,
Yes. I would be glad to summarize those improvements to JFW 3.3 that I find most
significant.
1.
Reliable access to the icons in the system tray. With the press of insert-f11, you
get all of the system tray icons, labeled
automatically with their tooltips, in an easy to use list box. You can perform all
necessary clicking actions on the icons in this
representation.
2.
Automatic graphics labeler. Pressing control-insert-g while in the desired
application will label all graphics which have tooltips
associated with them.
3.
Solid support for Internet Explorer 5 and other applications.
I think that, overall, this is a good release of JFW, worth the upgrade cost and/or
the SMA. Regards.
