LS Button version 1.1 is now ready! This revision entails a deal of internal fixes, but does offer some useful usage-side enhancements like accessor functions to useful internal data. The main upgrade, however, is the ability to internalize the data which any button instances uses. That means that the data management can be taken out of the hands of the programmer--which is a good thing. If you've been using it, I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version. Take note, however, that there are a few minor changes that break the API. Fortunately, they can all be fixed with global Find/Replaces.

I've recieved some comments and suggestions on LS Button, spurring some updates and changes that will bump the revision from a good old 1.0 to 1.1. There are mostly internal changes and code cleanup, but I have also added accessor functions to useful information for items in the class like the sound volume, and x/y coordinates. These minor changes are already implemented. The big feature that is still in progress is the ability to "internalize" the image and sound data that a button uses. That is, the button will make copies of the data passed to it through the intitialize function so that the user does not have to worry about always keeping those media objects loaded.

I have also revamped the documentation to work as plain HTML instead of a Windows-only CHM format. New makefiles have been included with the example source as well.
