[Maf] 0.6.3 release

[Christopher Ottley]

Hello all,

Well I finally got some time to work on MAF this Christmas weekend. 
Rather than dedicate all my time to 0.7.0 (which is a bit more 
complicated than I had thought) I've retrofitted some 0.7.0 stuff into 
0.6.3 and made 0.6.3 FF 1.5 compatible. The most notable thing you might 
notice is the increased MHT open and save speed. I'm now using a base64 
library routine that's built into the browser instead of my hand-rolled 
javascript one. :).

0.7.0 is a bit of a beast to code mainly due to its planned flexibility 
- To create a MAFF archive (which is a Zip archive) there are three 
layers - A native library, a configured script and a set of javascript 
components. The native library is fast, but platform dependent. The 
script is a bit slower and has configuration issues, but is platform 
independent when configured. The set of javascript components is slower 
than molasses, but platform independent with no configuration necessary. 
0.7.0 is designed to fall through layers that don't work until a working 
one is found. When this is done I should be able to focus on UI 
improvements and new features.

Thanks to everyone who has helped or encouraged me this past year 
including everyone who has donated, translated or user supported. You 
are appreciated. :).

Belated Merry Christmas and an early Happy New Year!

Regards,
Christopher.
