VERSION 0.5.51
DATE 03/14/2010
33rd Alpha Release

NEWS:

This release was initially going to be held until wxPython 2.8.11 was released
but it seems to be delayed so this release will still have some minor issues
when running on OSX 10.6.

There are a number of new features in this release. The tabs in the notebooks
can be dragged out to split the notebook into separate views so that files can
be viewed side by side. This feature has also been extended to the Shelf window.
There are also new versions of the CodeBrowser and Launch plugins included with
this release. For detailed changes please review the changelog below.
