    we decided to mark 8.05.0 as "beta". There are many IFDEF WPFMX in the code, however

    you cannot activate this compiler symbol since it is neither technically nor legally

    possible to compile this WPTools editon for other platforms than VCL. If you are

    interested in FireMonkey development please let us know: supportwptools.de.

    * <pagebreak/> can now be used in HTML input between paragraphs

    * WPContainer did not make the transition to unicode. The name was saved truncated and
