Released on March 19, 1997 as part of Visual C++ 5.0, this is the latest and greatest MFC release. The only new feature added to this release is IntelliMouse ™ support which evidently took the better part of an afternoon for .B ekiM to bang out. This release also includes another round of bug fixes and I would say is by far the most stable MFC since 3.2 (this is due to all of the new features added, which is understandable).
Unfortunately, we now have a situation where the MFC release doesn't match VC++ - everybody on the newsgroups thinks they are using MFC 5.0, which doesn't exist. Help me set them straight!!
