AutoMouse is a utility for automatically driving mouse and keyboard driven programs.
This could be incredibly helpful.
Automated testing is a central part of Extreme programming, and is a great idea even if you don't adopt the whole XP methodology. There are some great tools to help you automate a lot of stuff, but not GUIs. And GUIs are most of what I'm doing at the moment.
Also, part of out integration build process involves a tool which isn't scriptable - it can't be driven from the command line, not via COM. AutoMouse might just just the the answer to automating our integration build.

No changes to SEU, surprise surprise.
%DEC and %INT (character to numeric conversion) should have been in from the start, IMHO. I've had to write them more than once. (At different sites, I hasten to add!)
The field lists now supported by the database I/O opcodes (CHAIN and friends) sound interesting. No more level checks?
But what might be the biggest thing is the continued Java integration.
Nothing else earth shattering.
