-Ability to have outward borders on backgrounds added, to allow

for simulation of a shadow on the outside o  backgrounds. See

"Default with Shadow" included background for an example.

-Fixed several minor background display glitches.

-Fixed up packaging, full-theme packups will now package current background properly.

-Dock can now be attached to any edge or corner of the screen - see updated config dialog!

-Running indicators are now optional, as is the behavior to only re-run an

already running program by double clicking on it. (Indicators Enabled and set

to single-click-to-rerun by default in this new release)

-Improved icon loading, now can load high-resolution icons associated

with files/folders/etc dropped into dock. Works for all of the above,

including extensions (e.g. retrieving the high resolution icon

for ".txt" files when text file is dropped onto dock) as well as

for system objects (e.g. My Computer, etc)

-The current windows icons can now be used (and now are by default)

for the recycle bin, as well as "Configure ObjectDock" items. Especially

useful for if you are using high-resolution icons on your desktop.

-Several improvments in speed and memory usage

This is a great update, you can drop icons, png's and even cursors to the dock (maybe this was possible before, I just never tried it :|), and it displays them. Maybe not of much use, but cool nonetheless :) And now we can put the dock anywhere on the screen. Though it would be nice if the dock had restraints so that items couldnt 'flow' off the screen. The only thing I can think of that would make this even better would be: Plugin support, better clock hands (more like y'z dock ;), or even custom), and right click menus on the dock items/dock to change settings and access options.

Oh and some sort of grouping feature would be neat too :)

And a system tray option implemented somehow.

Does this dock have the ability to minimize windows into it?

You mean running tasks? If so then yes. If you mean the genie effect, then no. :)

weren't alot of these additions also put into y'z dock?

Yep. But objectdock has more promise than y'z imo. It's fast on almost every config, and supports running tasks, which all docks have except y'z now. I dont think anyone stole any ideas though, because they must have both been worked on about the same time, probably just the next logical step in dock evolution ;)

I know that there is some program created by stardock that can create special effects for the minimization of a window. Why don't they simply create a genie effect special effect and merge it into the dock which supposedely, i don't know if its true, but supposedly can hold mini pictures of minimized windows like a taskbar....just like the Mac OS X dock. Also, when do you think the 1.0 versions of these docks will be released?

I thought that by the time they reached 1.0, the docks would be able to replace my taskbar, but unfortunately, it seems that they use too much memory and are not friendly enough to really use for real. They sort of just feel a bit slow. Well I have only used Y'z Dock. I just dl'ed y'z dock for this PC (HP pavillion, AMD 1.8 ghz, 256mb) and It felt okay, but after an hour a message came up saying "Windows is Running Low on Virtual Memory". Does anyone know what that means who could give me advice on what to do about that?

Yes, Object Dock does take those mini-screenshots and they are awesome. With Object Bar and Object Dock running you can completely banish the Old taskbar. One problem... still no grouping option in the dock so when you have a lot of windows open the thing runs across the whole screen.
