Docview includes the following features: - document annotation - bookmarks - browse history - exporting articles to plain text or IPF format. - full text search (including weighting of results to see how relevant the results are) - Font and Color customization - Concatenation of help files at run-time so a library of help files can be viewed simultaneously. - Easy integration via the "external tools" feature of IDE's like Lazarus or MSEide. This allows for context sensitive help. - History of most recently viewed help files. - Help file format used is the INF format (IBM's format used it OS/2), which is very compact, incredibly fast and supports full text search. * A lot of new components have been added, including enhancements to existing components. * Various new dialogs have been added, which include Color Wheel, Character Map, Database Login etc. * Improved integration with tiOPF project via the Model-GUI-Mediator design pattern. * Graphical FPCUnit unit test runner. * Lots of new language translations for the core fpGUI library. * A lot of new example projects demoing various GUI components.
