LinearLayout should optionally fill all available space in the main direction #484

When a Panel's child components are smaller than the available space (on the primary axis), and this option is enabled, the layout would automatically expand components evenly. This could work similarly to how it shrinks them. This might work best as a property on the layout data, rather than the layout manager itself.

Agreed; I've done some experimental work on master for this, see the commit above

Wow! Cool! This seems perfect. I can't easily try it until there's a Maven release due to our company open-source procedures, but it seems like exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!

Alright, I can do another release shortly
