CMLGUI

I'm currently working on CMLGUI, the GUI extensions for the Core Media Library.
I haven't released the GUI extension with the last version of the library because it was still missing some essential components at the time (things like File Dialogs and such).

As i'm currently prototyping a contra-type game in 3D, i needed an simple editor to sketch out the levels. I decided to write it in CMLGUI and finishing the library in progress. With a bit of luck it might make the 1.4 release of CML.

Finishing up Core Media Library 1.4

I'm currently fixing up the Core Media Library for a 1.4 release.
Some of the things i've been working on lately are:
- Corefile/Corepacker: Support for file packing inside EXE/Binary
- Fixing Scaling/Rotating for Bitmap/Sprites
- Better thread handling (less stress on CPU).
- CoreNet beta (network support for WIN32)
- CoreVideo (webcam support for WIN32)
- Extensions: Resource browser, Virtual Keyboard, etc.
- New and updated examples
- Minor bug fixes

A new beta has now been sent out to testers, allowing me to implement their feedback in the next major release of the library. The website should be updated too.
