Sciter is capable now to render its own site without errors:

In this build:

• Bug fixes, fixes, fixes…
• Element.move() functionality is back
• text-transform: lowercase | uppercase | capitalize is back
• Correct positioning of <tfoot> elements.
• SciterClassName() API function initializes the library in the same way as Sciter1 does.

The build is as usual here: sciter2-tech-preview.zip.

In this build:

• Functionality of Element.swap() and Element.sort() is back.
• Fix of expandable image rendering issue
• Sample sdk/samples/ideas/grid/grid.htm is fully operational now plus:
• column-resizer
• row sorting.
• Fixes with position:absolute elements positioning.
