Dear Community,
During this iteration we had many valuable contributions. It's a joy to see how McCLIM gains more mindshare and people are willing to put their time and wallet in fixing issues and writing applications in McCLIM.
Some highlights for this iteration:
- many Listener fixes,
- major tab layout extension refactor,
- new extension for Bezier curves (based on older internal implementation),
- interactor improvements,
- layout improvements,
- fixes for redisplay and transformations,
- documentation cleanups,
- cleanup of the issues (closed the obsolete and fixed ones).
All McCLIM bounties (both active and already solved) may be found here.

Suggestions as to which other issues should have a bounty on them are appreciated and welcome. Please note that Bountysource has a functionality "Suggest an Issue" which may be found on the bounties page. If you feel that you may solve some problem, but there is no bounty on it, feel free to suggest it too.
