1. Introduction

   After two months of development we (the Lintouch Team) are
   proud to announce the availability of the new stable release
   of the Lintouch Server, Lintouch Runtime, and Lintouch Editor.

   This is the maintenance version including bug fixes and
   several new features. You are welcome to download, install,
   test, and use this version.

   Please see Section 4, "What is Lintouch" for more information
   about Lintouch.

2. What's New In Lintouch 1.6.2

2.1. Global Changes

   Usability & Bugfixes
          Templates in Editor can be locked via Project Templates
          Dialog when their properties are set and positioning is
          finished. Locked templates do not interact with the
          mouse in editing mode and thus make it easier to
          manipulate other templates in very complex projects.

   Compilation & Bugfixes
          Swaloun Framework + SharedPtr dependency has been
          dropped, which means that compilation of Lintouch from
          sources is now less complicated.

   Lintouch is a real-time data monitoring/controlling system
   used in automation industry and developed by S.W.A.C. GmbH

   Lintouch is an effort to build fully software-based open

   Machine Interface in the automation industry.

   visualization primitives (Buttons, Lamps, and other Technical
   Objects already available).
