RELEASE NOTES


v0.1 2008-12-12

Inital Version

v0.2 2008-12-16

[+] Added a JavaScript/ExtendScript version for Windows

[+] Added the display of the number of groups

[*] Changed the prompt display slightly.

    This will be turned into statistical display in a future version, like, 
    for example the number of a type in the selection (path items, text items etc.),
    the percentage of objects total, percentage of types total etc...

    This basically has a "if and when I have time" status.
