I would like to start this announcement off thanking, once again,  
Malte Pfaff-Brill and Trevor DeVore for the help in getting some  
broken code working :-)


* Hot Keys and Volume events now work in all versions of Rev from 2.8  
up to 4.5

* Can invert the display's colour palette (I don't know why, but it is  
there anyways :)

* Add the toolbar blob to the window frame (as well as remove it)

* Get the proxy icon file path [see below]

* Some code clean up

* Removal of two deprecated commands

* Price is now 15 CAD  (my financial guru told me to raise it)




Get the proxy icon file path
----------------------------
While most people are probably excited about the toolbar blob, this is  
the one the addition I like the most and if you deal with document- 
based applications (using stacks as the documents) you will probably  
like this too..

If you set the proxy icon based on the file path to your stack:

   ssSetWindowProxyIcon the windowID of this stack, the fileName of  
this stack

you can use the new external function:

   ssGetWindoeProxyIconPath(the windowID of this stack)

to get the file path of the stack.. Now this may not seem like a big  
thing, but if the end user moves the stack file in the Finder, and for  
you Rev 2.8 people, if the end user uses the proxy icon to move the  
file Rev still thinks it is in the old location (oh noes).. By doing a  
quick check you can update Rev's pointer to the file:

   if (the fileName of this stack <> ssGetWindowProxyIconPath(the  
windowID of this stack)) then
     set the fileName of this stack to ssGetWindowProxyIconPath(the  
windowID of this stack)
   end if

Hopefully you are as excited by this release as I am :-)
