+o Added Wizards/Automatic form generation

+o Reorder-by-location added (Changes the tab-order based on screen position)

-Um, this file will be updated after first release. 
 
-Most of all, the README needs to have something meaningful in it. 
+ * When closing a form (or exiting the app), Designer should check for
+   a "dirty" (unsaved) form and ask the user to save before exiting.
 
+ * Implement the EVENT tab support
 
+ * Implement a better code/text editing system (preferably by adding
+   support for BOA Constructor, a really nifty python based development
+   environment.
+
+ * Generalize Designer's code to so we can add other modules (such
+   as Reports, GEAS, Integrator)
