Major renames/API changes

• The Editbox "MaskText" property was renamed to "TextMasked" for consistency
• Editbox and MultilineEditbox now inherit common behaviour from the EditboxBase class.
• The Editbox and MultilineEditbox methods getSelectionStartIndex() and getSelectionEndIndex() were renamed to getSelectionStart() and getSelectionEnd()
• XMLAttributes::getValueAsString signature and parameters changed to: String getValueAsString(const String&, const String&) const from const String& getValueAsString(const String&, const String& ) const
• Text Mask property renaming, done for consistency with naming conventions and associated methods. Properties renamed: "MaskText" renamed to "TextMaskingEnabled", "MaskCodepoint" renamed to "TextMaskingCodepoint"
• Text Mask events renamed: Editbox::EventMaskedRenderingModeChanged("MaskedRenderingModeChanged") becomes EditboxBase::EventTextMaskingEnabledChanged("TextMaskingEnabledChanged"), EditboxBase::EventMaskCodePointChanged("MaskCodePointChanged") becomes EditboxBase::EventTextMaskingCodepointChanged("TextMaskingCodepointChanged")
• Editbox::setTextMasked changed to EditboxBase::setTextMaskingEnabled, Editbox::setMaskCodePoint changed to EditboxBase::setTextMaskingCodepoint, Editbox::onMaskedRenderingModeChanged changed to EditboxBase::onTextMaskingEnabledChanged
• All std maps and sets using StringFastLessCompare are replaced by std::unordered_map and std::unordered_set
• CEGUI::String was appended with a template for hashing so that this type can be used in c++11 sets and maps as key
• The CEGUI_THROW, CEGUI_TRY, CEGUI_CATCH and CEGUI_RETHROW defines have been replaced by the regular C++ keywords available for these purposes

Changes regarding the datafiles / XML

• Multiple Fonts can now be loaded per file. The root node is now called Fonts instead of Font and contains the version attribute. Font has no version attribute anymore and multiple font nodes can be inside the Fonts node. Use ceed-migrate if you want to migrate multiple files (Search for ceed migrate in the wiki)

Minor changes

• Scrollbar::isAtEnd() and Scrollbar::getMaxScrollPosition() are now public
• MultilineEditbox now also has a MaskText property
