I did not do a post for 1.9 so here are those release notes as well:

- added messages tab (define messages to support user-written code)

- various bug fixes, all minor.

- added recordset_gui_component widget

- added numeric input widget

- added 6th example dialog to the Help Document

If you have not used this tool, I would highly recommend it. You can create your GUIs without using this tool, but there are so many parameters to be aware of. Using this tool essentially allows you to incorporate known (and sometimes unknown) tips, tricks, workarounds and best practices from one of the best Magik coders around and put it into your own application.
