I've just commited some final changes to the loader to svn.
Finally everything is in place again. Changing the loading code was a lot more work than expected. But adding a preprocessing step was the key to solve all the issues and get the code much cleaner.
As an additional benefit nifty now knows for every attribute from which style it came from. So removing a style and replacing it with another one on the fly is supported :)
We're now testing the current version in svn with an actual game. When everything works ok the 1.0 release of nifty gui will be available soon - for real this time ;)
In the meantime you can follow nifty development at twitter</a></p>
