> 1. Printer and PDF commands to be implemented

> 2. Refactoring of Object API (like naming conventions[todo: rename objects

> done.)
> 3. Much more meaningful error messages. (scripter now avoids some things
> silently by choosing default value. This should be corrected.)
> 4. Feature requests in Mantis bugtracker.

Great work Jain! Should I be using/porting to the new Scripter for my
table stuff, and if not, why? (question for everybody)

Keep up the good work.
