			  <font face=Verdana style=font-size:8pt color=#000000>
			  <ul style=margin-left:0.60in>
			    <li>POSIX compatibility introduced: many ExperienceUI installers can be compiled under UNIX versions of makensis</li>
				<li>Detached XPUI root support: the ExperienceUI can now be used outside of the location of the NSIS compiler</li>
				<li>Switched to Linux kernel style version numbering</li>
				<li>Everything website related redone</li>
				<li>Established Mercurial revision control</li>
				<li>First release in about 2 and 1/2 years, so bear with us</li>

              <ul style=margin-left:0.60in>
                <li>Completely rewrote skinning engine to work faster and more efficiently</li>
                <li>Added ${Page} command</li>
                <li>Revised documentation <acronym title="Table of Contents">TOC</acronym> to be more human readable</li>
                <li>Removed control 1005 on all dialogs; now using the FindWindow and SetCtlColors commands to skin dialog backgrounds</li>
                <li>Entire window can now use a single bitmap instead of three different ones (~6k bigger but easier to design; also allows for bitmap behind main page area)</li>
                <li>Made the compiler issue an error when language files are inserted after pages because this would cause serious errors with "unnamed" LangStrings and whatnot.
                <li>Changed behavior of interface insertion</li>
                <li>Made the icon(s) have a more "glassy" look</li>
                <li>Fixed many bugs that were introduced in 1.1</li>
              </ul>
