Florence 0.6.3 released

Florence is an extensible scalable virtual keyboard for X11. You need it if you can't use a real hardware keyboard, for example because you are disabled, your keyboard is broken or because you use a tablet PC, but you must be able to use a pointing device (as a mouse, a trackball, or a touchscreen)

This is a bug fix release with patches provided by Jeremy Bobbio, Jonathan David and Benedikt Spranger.
