Release Notes
-------------

2.1.12 - August 11, 2003

  * New attribute: ProjectUnit.  Use this attribute on a
    Rinse unit, to suppress warnings about unnecessary
    imports.  This is useful if the Rinse unit is a
    "project-level" unit, that imports all other Rinse
    units in a project.  This technique can be helpful
    if you have several projects that all use the same
    set of Rinse units.

  * The property editor for the SmartRecTypeName property
    of TSmartRecListView used to list some smart records
    twice (those with forward declarations).  This has 
    been fixed.

    
Getting Started
---------------

After you install Rinse, you can use the New Rinse Unit Wizard,
File | New | Other | Rinse Unit, to create a new Rinse unit and
add it to your project.  Also, the Tools | Rinse Explorer command
allows you to configure the Rinse Translator (this command can be
found on the Help menu in Delphi 5).


Documentation
-------------

Rinse comes with extensive documentation, as well as an in-depth
tutorial (which is the best place to begin).  The tutorial can be
found in Dimeric\RinseTutorial\Tutorial.rtf.  The source code for
each step of the tutorial can be found in the folder
Dimeric\RineTutorial\Step N, where N is the step number.  These
projects represent the completed tutorial step, and are ready to
compile and run.

The Rinse documentation is Dimeric\Doc\Rinse Intro.rtf, and is
partly a reference -- the tutorial is a better place to begin.

Documentation on the units in RinseLib is located in the
Dimeric\Help folder.  The install program automatically integrates
this help file into Delphi's IDE help system.
