Version 4.2

  • iOS project support: added custom resource folders, custom xcassets, app capabilities, and screen orientation settings.
  • Deleted the Introjucer.. But don't panic! All of its functionality is now supplied by a more open-source version of the Projucer.

This will allow everyone to compile the Projucer's IDE themselves, and having just one app instead of two will make things a lot less confusing!
