          The Table widget has received a lot of bugfixes and improvements
          during this milestone.
          Fonts, backgrounds and foreground colors are now supported properly
          for the entire table, for table items and also for single cells.
          Unnessesary scroll bars are not drawn anymore.
          Together with alternating row colors and cell padding, which had
          already been added in M6, the table fits much better into modern
          web applications.
          Moreover, we added some significant performance improvements.

          The CSS property <code>text-decoration</code> has been added for the
          Label widget.
          Permissible values are <code>underline</code>, <code>overline</code>,
          <code>line-through</code>, and <code>none</code>.

          The foreground and background colors of the Group widget's label are
          now separately themeable to allow a more flexibile styling.

    <h2>Workbench</h2>

      <tr valign="top" align="left">
        <td width="20%">
          <b>New look&nbsp;and&nbsp;feel</b></td>
        <td width="80%">
          <p>
          With the help of a user interface design company, we developed a new
          look and feel that provides a professional, serious look for RAP
          applications.
          This implementation uses the new interaction design API, which brings
          more flexibity to modifying the workbench presentation and allows to
          completely separate the styling from the application code
          (see the RAP help for details).
          </p>

          <p>
          The new design is meant to demonstrate the styling capabilities of
          RAP and serve as an example and a template for your application.
          It is included in the plug-in
          <code>org.eclipse.rap.design.example</code>
          and can be applied to an existing application by simply adding this
          bundle and using <code>business</code> as the servlet name.
          </p>

          <p>
          The development is not quite complete, some improvements will still
          be made before the release.
