iPhone pre-alpha update

[Heather Nagey]

Dear List Folks,

We're excited to let you all know that we have churned out another  
update to the iPhone pre-alpha. We're rather proud of it, as we have  
added the following features and fixes:

- The orientation of the device can now be determined, and an  
application is notified when the orientation changes.
- An application can change its interface orientation at will.
- Basic support is present for core location - an application can  
request updates to the location of the device.
- An application can prompt the user to send an email, using the  
standard iPhone mail composer interface.
- Support has been added for 'specialFolderPath()' to allow easy  
fetching of 'standard' folders.
- A bug with file path 'root' problems has been fixed. All paths are  
now reported relative to the filesystem root, rather than the home  
directory.
- A bug with the mouseLoc returning an incorrect y-coord has been fixed.
- A bug with animated gifs not displaying correctly has been fixed.
- Disabled controls are no longer considered when working out the  
target of touch messages (just as it is for mouse messages)
- The answer command now returns the chosen button in the 'it'  
variable as it should

This is still designated a pre-alpha since the UI has not yet been  
added and you still can't build for the App store, but nonetheless,  
judging from the feedback we're getting from early purchasers, we  
think you'll find these features interesting, useful and fun!
