Snapshot9 release

[Kulik]

New snapshot has been released. Archives provide testing sample data with CEGUI 0.7 and CEGUI 1.0 datafiles.

There have been 16 issues fixed from the last snapshot8. Highlight of the release is better property editing for Image and Font properties. You can now choose from a combobox instead of typing the whole names!
Another focus was documentation. There is a lot of new content in user-manual, quickstart-guide and developer-manual.

Make sure you give release to your artists along with the new user manual and tell us what they are struggling with. The manuals will be refined according to the feedback.

Hello,

When attempting to open the UI project in snapshot 9, I get the following error:

---------------------------
Failed to synchronise embedded CEGUI to your project
---------------------------
An attempt was made to load resources related to the project being opened, for some reason the loading didn't succeed so all resources were destroyed! The most likely reason is that the resource directories are wrong, this can be very easily remedied in the project settings.

This means that editing capabilities of CEED will be limited to editing of files that don't require a project opened (for example: imagesets).

Details of this error: <Element 'DimOperator' at 0x05FD8218>

No additional information is provided in the log (log reports 0 errors and 0 warnings). Any idea what this could be?

czuger: This is most likely caused by the new dimoperator -> operatordim compatibility layer. CEGUI 1.0 recently changed the way dimensions are calculated in looknfeels so I had to add a layer that migrates this. I will need data that I can reproduce this problem with, then I am confident I can fix it.
