Here's all i found... (see below)

Im glad 4 of these features were finally fixed after major wait...
But i feel there's already 4 new bugs i found including not finding what 
new in the docs ;)

- Bad file names in the doc submenu
- colorize script (in SE) doesn't return the right cursor
- xp menu effects dont work
- mac characters in the read mes and what's new... 
- Old errors in the D:\Revolution 
2.6\components\save\messageboxerrorlog.txt

and now the GM fix - too little too late - and it still requires 
revcacheGM to work - ROTFL
what a joke! Im shure half of it still doesn't work (seen the reverror or 
message watcher diplay?)

Im glad im out of that mis-supported circus...

I could have done with more fixes than new features (half of which are 
just eye 
candy and not productive...)

my 2 laudable and sad cents
cheers
Xavier

NEW FEATURES

This section describes the new features introduced in version 2.6 in 
detail.

--- Spotlight support ---

Use Spotlight to search within Revolution stacksÊon Mac OS Tiger.  This
feature is automatic and happens in the background.

--- Core Image Transition Effects ---

Leverage any Core Image transition effect to provide real-time GPU visual
effectsÊon Mac OS Tiger.  This feature is described and exampled in the
supplied CoreImageSample stack.

--- Deep masks ---

Setting the windowShape property of a stack to an image with an alpha mask 

will cause the alpha mask to be used to provide an 8-bit mask to the 
window. 
Changing the windowShape property to difference images with an alpha mask 
will not cause the window to be recreated, allowing you to animate changes 

to the window shape.  This feature works in bit depths > 8 and on all 
MacOS 
X versions, as well as Windows 2000 (all versions) and Windows XP (all 
versions).

--- Arrays in Variable Watcher ---

The Variable Watcher now displays array type variables.

--- File selection overhauled ---

You can now set the 'enable' menu options within file selector dialog, 
specify files to be selected by either extension or creator type (on Mac 
OS 
systems), select multiple files, and use a consistent syntax on all 
platforms - even when specifying creator types or other platform specific 
options.  The answer folder command has been updated to use the newer 
Shell 
dialog on supporting versions of windows.
--- Replace Text performance improvements ---

replaceText has had its memory handling optimized meaning it should be 
substantially more efficient when replacing text in large strings.
ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS VERSION

For a comprehensive list of bug fixes, consult the bug reporting system,

Global variables are now visible after being declared, even before having 
a 
value assigned.

Import snapshot no longer crashes when a small snapshot is imported.

Inspector Popup menu now creates submenus when there are more than 20 
controls on a card, making it easier to navigate.

The Variable Watcher and Message Watcher no longer show palettes when the 
Script Editor is open and the Hide Palettes Preference is on.

The Geometry Manager is now significantly more accurate at updating its 
properties during editing operations.

revCopyFile is now more reliable.

immediately.
