Unfortunately, I have not. I was waiting for things to settle down, 
which they seem to have. But my situation has recently changed. The 
startup that was funding Emma has fallen on tough times and cancelled my 
project. So I will be moving to a REAL job and Emma will become a hobby.

But I hope to switch over to the new code base soon. I really believe 
the declarative approach that Emma brings is really valuable to GUI apps 
using wxLua.

On that subject, I was wondering about a couple of things. Does your 
incarnation of wxLua include the Scintilla widget (StyledTextWidget I 
think it is referred to as)?

Also, what about dockable windows? I know that there are at least 3 
solutions for this for wxWidgets. I tried to integrate the FL stuff into 
a different project I was doing a couple of years ago and found it 
pretty buggy. Even now, it is supposedly part of wxWidgets, but there is 
little documentation about it. wxAUI looks promising and claims to be 
the next "standard" for wxWidgets. Then there is DockIt, which I know 
little about. Any support for these in wxLua?

Good luck on your upcoming release!
