OSLib Version 6.00 Released!
----------------------------

OSLib, the open-source API library for RISC OS computers has been
upgraded to version 6.00.

This release includes:

* New structures for Wimp Messages and Toolbox Gadgets, obviating the
need for unwieldy unions.

* 32-bit file handles are now supported, together with new functions
implementing a 32-bit interface. Backwards compatibility for 8-bit
handles has been retained.

* DefMod is now 32-bit ready. OSLib presently retains the 28-bit
interface while RISC OS is 28 bit, but developers can experiment with a
32-bit library by re-compiling.

* Many new functions and fixes to old ones.
