· Improved Drag/Resize which has been rather broken for a while
· Added Autosave and Automatic backup of previous file features, configurable in Glade's preferences Dialog

· Automatically generate gladeui's enum types with glib-mkenums
· Modified properties now show up in italic letering instead of bold, bold lettering is reserved for title labels in custom property editors.
· New components that now use GtkBuilder Composite Templates (and have had a basic review and rework of their UIs): GladePreferences (Glade's preferences dialog), GladeEditor (the property editor), GladeProjectProperties (the project properties dialog) and custom property editors: GladeActivatableEditor, GladeButtonEditor, GladeEntryEditor, GladeImageEditor, GladeLabelEditor, GladeWidgetEditor
