[ 2011-11-28 ] - Made improvements to argument passing in overloaded operators for GelPoint, GelSize, Gel3x3Matrix, Gel4x4Matrix, GelChar, GelUChar, GelRect, and GelRectf. [ 2011-12-12 ] - Fixed type conversion constructors in all color classes to use const references. [ 2011-12-13 ] - Overhauled GelRenderSystem, making it an inheritable base for multiple graphics APIs. - Rewrote OGLdraw and D3D9draw classes as OGLRenderSystem and D3D9RenderSystem, inherited from GelRenderSystem. - Made neccessary changes in other classes to use new render system. - Made win32 SysOpenGLContext and SysD3D9Context fully object-oriented, removing all static members. - Renamed SysD3D9Context to SysD3D9Device. [ 2011-12-14 ] - Moved takeScreenshot() from GelWindow to GelRenderSystem. - Made X11 SysOpenGLContext fully object-oriented, removing all static members. - Integrated new render system into X11 window implementation. [ 2011-12-15 ] - Cleaned up numerous areas of code, replacing integer arguments, etc. with proper enumerators. [ 2011-12-16 ] - Cleaned up numerous poorly written function declarations, making many of them const, etc. - GelDir and GelFileStream now accept const &GelString instead of const *char in their member functions. - Added operator() to GelCString, now it can be passed as a const char* without calling getData(). - Made many small improvements to all classes, replacing integer arguments with proper enumerators, etc.
