These have actually been in subversion for a while, but I'm just getting to documenting them. Sorry about that.
- Parameter type "description". This parameter contains text for it's default value and will put that text in an autogui window. You can't set or get it, it is really only useful for adding text to a dialog.
- Descriptions can be translated by using the XML node <_param/>
- Effects can have a <menu-tip> node which contains the message that will be placed in the status bar when that menu item has the mouse over it.
- Effects can have a <menu-name> node which will overwrite the name of the effect as the name in the submenu.
--- Implemented in INX parsing, but not working ---
- All parameters can have a "gui-description" attribute which will be the tooltip for that parameter.
- All parameters can have a "scope" attribute that has three possible values: "user", "document" or "node". This sets where the value for the variable gets set. The default is "user", which is how parameters work today. In the future the settings will be written into a particular document, or nodes if appropriate.
Wow, parameters are getting close to being feature complete :)

PS - Yes, release notes are next :)
