Statistics:

LCL Interfaces major changes

TPen: cosmetic/geometric, Join Style, End Cap Style
Most of component properties now have default values => smaller .lfm files
TMonitor class: multi-monitor support
Refactoring of LCL-Interface interface interoperability => size of empty form application was reduced by 17-18% (qt, win32). Gtk applications size was not changed.
TreeView component got editing support and misc visual enhancements

TColorBox, TColorListBox has been rewritten. Now they are more delphi compatible.
TColorDialog.CustomColors has been added.

Application icon has been added to the Project Options.
Environment, Editor and CodeTools options has been merged into one dialog. A new api is introduced to add custom ide settings into ide options dialog.
Application icon, Version information and XP manifest are merged into one .rc file which has the same name as project main file (.lpi)
.lrs files can now be saved/auto created in the project output directory (disable in Project / Project Options / Miscellaneous / save .lrs file in the output directory). This way you no longer need to store the .lrs files in the svn/cvs repository.
The deprecated jitform were removed. They used a dirty trick to create methods at design time. This trick is no longer needed.
