    + Tree Node Crumbs: Now at the bottom of the menu (on right-clicking the 
      expansion icon) you get a new command "New Folder". Lets you quickly 
      create a new subfolder for that node.
    ! Application Data Folder could not be created on Unicode characters in the 
      application path. Fixed. Incredible that this was detected only today.
      It should work now, but certain data files (catalog.dat, udc.dat, fvs.dat, 
      etc.) can still not be written to an application data folder with Unicode 
      characters. More work is needed.
    * Internal rewrite of handling ks.dat and servers.dat. Both now support 
      Unicode paths. Additionally servers.dat now supports storing servers with 
      Unicode names.
To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

:!: Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

v14.60.0024 - 2014-11-25 16:14
    + Added tweak to go back to the caret positioning behavior from before 
      v14.30.0409 - 2014-08-20 09:53, i.e. the behavior known e.g. from Windows 
      Explorer: On arrow keys Left and Right when there is a selection the caret 
      moves one step into the direction, and the selection is removed.
        CaretPositioningLikeExplorer=1
    ! Thumbnails: Possible crash on folders with one or more 1-pixel image 
      files. Fixed.

    * Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Single click on icon opens 
      list items: Re-added support for Tiles and Thumbnails views IF 
      "Configuration | Thumbnails | On left mouse down" is unticked. Without 
      MDBU there is no reason not to allow single-click-open.

    + Duplicate File Finder: Before, the dupe finder would only find files, no 
      folders. Now you can also find duplicate folders by Name and Date. Simply 
      tick Directory in the Find Files | Attributes tab, and the dupe finder 
      will look for folders instead of files.
      So now you got a fast way to compare directory trees, e.g. supposedly 
      mirrored folder structures on two different drives.

    + Menu File | To Clipboard: Added command "Text". Copies the text of the 
      currently selected ANSI or Unicode (UTF16 LE) text file to the clipboard.
      It also works on complex file types like DOC, DOCX, PDF, or HTML, in which 
      case the text is extracted using IFilters (matching 32-bit IFilters need 
      to be installed).            
      Tip: The copied text can then be pasted to a new file using Edit | Paste 
      Special | Paste Text Into New File (Ctrl+Alt+V).

v14.60.0202 - 2014-12-03 11:42
    + Command Line Switches: Added switch /user. Lets you pass a |-separated, 
      optionally quoted, list of values to the application. The individual 
      values can later be retrieved via scripting command get (with a new named 
      argument "CmdLineUser"). For example:
      App Call:
        XYplorer.exe /user=a|b|c
        XYplorer.exe /user="a|b|c"    (with optional quoting)
      Scripting:
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 1); //a
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 2); //b
        echo get("CmdLineUser", 3); //c
      Of course, also the variable <get ...> supports it:
        echo <get CmdLineUser 2>; //b
    + SC get got a new named argument "CmdLine" by which you can retrieve 
      the app's command line.
        echo get("CmdLine"); //returns the command line
    + Quick Search: Added switch /u (think umlaut vs ümlaut) by which the search 
      will ignore diacritics.
        Köln      finds Köln
        Koln      finds Koln
        Köln /u   finds Köln and Koln
        Koln /u   finds Köln and Koln
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Show icons". Has been the hard-coded 
      default before, now you can turn it off.
      If turned it off iconized tabs will still show the icons.
    + Configuration | Tabs: Added option "Make selected tab bold". Has been the 
      hard-coded default before, now you can turn it off.

v14.60.0203 - 2014-12-03 16:36
    + SC get: Argument CmdLine enhanced. Now it can be used like PHP/C++ argv[].
        echo get("CmdLine");    //returns the command line (without application)
        echo get("CmdLine", 0); //returns the application as called
        echo get("CmdLine", 1); //returns the 1st argument
        echo get("CmdLine", 2); //returns the 2nd argument, etc.
      Arguments are interpreted as separated by " " spaces, optionally quoted, 
      and returned trimmed and unquoted.
    * Click and Search: Now, when no item is ticked clicking the CAS category 
      will remove any search and simply browse the current location. Before, it 
      would run a search for "" (nothing in quotes) which always returned an 
      empty list.
      Note that this undoes the change from v14.00.0111 - 2014-05-10 23:24. The 
      new way is just much more intuitive and a boost in usability.
    * Click and Search: Loose Boolean Match syntax is NOT supported anymore -- 
      too many unsolvable ambiguities: date terms like "dw 6-7" were wrongly 
      resolved to "dw & 6-7".
      Note that this undoes the change from  v14.20.0101 - 2014-06-16 15:33.

    + Date Variables: Since v9.90.0502 - 2011-03-16 14:34 you can pass an 
      optional extra argument to shift the date to the past or the future by a 
      certain number of time units. However, this had never been implemented for 
      the <date> variable, only for file-date-related <datem>, <datec>, <datea>, 
      and <dateexif>.
      Now it works also with <date> (which returns the current date/time).
      Examples:
        echo "<date -70000d yyyy-mm-dd>"; //70000 days before now
        echo "<date +2y yyyy-mm-dd>"; //2 years from now    
        echo "<date +7s yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss>"; //7 seconds from now    
    > Tip on Keyboard Shortcuts: If you use XYplorer localized to German you 
      might remove Alt+D as default shortcut for focusing the Address Bar (Tools 
      | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts... (Shift+F9) / Miscellaneous / Focus 
      Functions / Focus Address Bar).
      Reason: It conflicts with the accelerator "D" which is used in the main 
      menu for "Datei" (File).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.54.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.54.lng is uploaded.

    + Configuration | Find Files & Branch View | Visual Filters: Added option 
      "Apply to files only". Tick it to apply the visual filters only to files, 
      not to folders, in other words to let pass all folders.
      Note that any of the inline scope prefixes overwrite this setting. So 
      "!\|*.jpg" will not list any folders even if "Apply to files only" is 
      enabled.
