General
This release fixes most of the errors reported during the last weeks. In addition there are several small enhancements which had been desired by customers. Thanks to all of you who have reported the bugs or the missing features!
As ever: The list of enhancements and bug fixes is 'very rough'. This means that we noted them with about one line of text but at least a few improvements caused quite a lot of changes in the code. Furthermore not all changes may be described in full detail.

Enhancements (not complete)

TLMDButtonBar

The OnBeforeSectionChange events makes it easy to prevent section changing!
