Several minor bugs are also fixed.

Please note that this is BETA version. So don't use it for production applications.

Full changelog since v2.3.4:
[!] WOR-files read-only support added. Added ability of loading of
   layers lists and layers orderings, as well as their global
   parameters. Use new TEasyMap.LoadWOR(FileName) method to load
   appropriate .wor file.

[!] Ability to rotate loaded map added.
   Use new TEasyMap.RotateMap(x,y: Double; angle:Double) method to
   rotate current map. You can use RotatedToNormal() and
   NormalToRotated() methods to translate coordinates while map is
   rotated.
   New read-only properties added:
    - TEasyMap.RotateAngle - current angle of map rotation
    - TEasyMap.RotatePointX, TEasyMap.RotatePointY - rotation point
       coordinates

[!] CodeGear Delphi/C++Builder 2009 support added.

[*] Map scaling is improved. Now you can zoom map relative to screen
   center (old behavior), relative to mouse cursor position or
   relative to selected object. Use new TEasyMap.ZoomType property to
   control mouse wheel zoom behavior.

[*] EasyMap examples updated, several new examples added.

[+] TEasyMap.OnZoom event added. It is fired after map zooming is
   complete

[+] TEasyMap.OnPaint event added. You can't perform any custom
   drawing on map with it

[+] TText.FreezeFontSize property added. Text font size will be scaled
   with Zoom operation only if this property is set to True.

[+] TText.MinVisibleFontSize property added. Text labels are drawn
   only if their calculated Font size for current scale factor is equal
   or larger than MinVisibleFontSize property value. This feature
   allows to exclude small unreadable text labels from map when
   you zoom it out.

[+] TText.Font propery subproperties (Size, Style etc.) can be used
   to adjust text label font.

[-] Several memory-leaks eliminated.

[-] Minor bug-fixes and improvements.
