    * Create Missing Thumbnails: Decided that it should do what it says. Now it 
      creates *all* missing thumbnails in the current list. No caveats.
    + Tweak AgeDecimalPlaces got an additional value to show an international 
      short format for durations (no MLS):
        AgeDecimalPlaces=-2
      It will output something like this:
          23min 02s
          21h 05min
             2d 21h
    ! Show Age: Would sometimes show "-1 secs" instead of "0 secs". Fixed.

    + Configuration | Fonts: Added option "Enable zoom by Ctrl+mouse wheel". 
      Tick to enable zooming the fonts or metrics of various interface elements by 
      Ctrl+mouse wheel.
      Notes:
      - Different areas and aspects are affected depending on where the mouse 
        points to and which other control keys are held down. This also includes 
        Shift+mouse wheel in Tree to alter the node indent... yes, there is no 
        Ctrl key here, but hey....
      - The factory default is ON.
      - This behavior has been hard-coded to ON in previous versions.
      - This new option replaces the NoSizingByWheel which is hereby removed.

v15.20.0111 - 2015-05-24 10:12
    + Scripting: Added "include_once" statement. It's identical to the "include" 
      statement, with the only difference being that if the code from a file has 
      already been included, it will not be included again.
      Quoting PHP docs (from where I also copied the name "include_once"):
        "include_once may be used in cases where the same file might be included 
        and evaluated more than once during a particular execution of a script, 
        so in this case it may help avoid problems such as function 
        redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc."
      There are no errors or messages. Trying to include_once an already included 
      file will simply ignore the statement and continue.
    * Show Age: Added week(s) as a unit between years and days.
    * Show Age: From now on fractional values are floored, not rounded:
        Before: 11 days = 2 weeks;  91 mins = 2 hours
           Now: 11 days = 1 week;   91 mins = 1 hour
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.62.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.62.lng is uploaded.

    + Custom Toolbar Buttons: Now you can use references to image files of the 
      following formats to define the button graphics:
        PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF
      XY variables and environment variables are supported. The path defaults to 
      the XY icon path <xyicons>.
      Note that you don't even have to care for the size, not even for the 
      ratio (it will be auto-shrunk and centered as necessary)! You can define a 
      3000 x 2000 pixel PNG as button icon if you like... and if you don't care 
      for the time it takes to load and shrink such a file on every mouse over. 
      Yes, this is the price for having your girlfriend/clooney as a toolbar 
      button: The graphics are live-loaded from disk. But no worries, it's very 
      fast with small files. 24 x 24 pixel is optimal, of course. So, a little 
      pre-processing can pay off.
    ! Shell Drag: Did not work from special folders in Tree, e.g. from Desktop. 
      Fixed.

    + Toolbar: Added a tweak to zoom the whole main toolbar by a factor between 
      0.5 and 8. For example, this would double the size:
        ToolbarZoom=2
      Note that the stretched native toolbar graphics will be rendered pixely. 
      There is no smoothing available here. Custom Toolbar Buttons, OTOH, using 
      the new option to employ larger PNGs etc will look great.
      If you like to push big things, try this:
        ToolbarZoom=8
      Just trying to add some fun to computing... :)
    > Crazy Tip: Just another fun fact, you can set the CTB icon to this:
        <clipboard>
      If you have an image path in the clipboard when starting XY the button 
      will show the image. Now you find a use for this...
    + Scripting: Now you can also use image files of the following formats to 
      define the icons in multi-script menus:
        PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIF
      XY variables and environment variables are supported. The path defaults to 
      the XY icon path <xyicons>.
      Example:
        "Katy|Katy.png"
          echo 'hello';
        "Betty|Betty.jpg"
          echo 'hello';
        "Thumbs Up|t-up.ico"
          echo 'hello';
    ! View | Caches | Refresh Selected Thumbnails: Did not work anymore. Fixed.

v15.20.0205 - 2015-05-28 10:26
    + SC replacelist enhanced. Added a scope parameter:
      Syntax: replacelist(string, searchlist, [replacelist], [delimiter], [matchcase], [scope])
        scope: Matching scope (what to match in string)
          0 = substring [default]
          1 = whole words
          2 = whole string
      Examples:
        text replacelist("Hello, Taxi Driver!", "He|Hello|Hello, Taxi Driver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi!", "|", 0, 0); //Hallo, Taxi Driver!
        text replacelist("Hello, Taxi Driver!", "He|Hello|Hello, Taxi Driver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi!", "|", 0, 1); //Hi, Taxi Driver!
        text replacelist("Hello, Taxi Driver!", "He|Hello|Hello, Taxi Driver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi!", "|", 0, 2); //Taxi!
      Note how in lines 1 and 2 there are two replacements (Hello->Hi; TaxiDriver->Taxi Driver):
        text replacelist("Hello, TaxiDriver!", "He|Hello|TaxiDriver|Hello, TaxiDriver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi Driver|Taxi!", "|", 0, 0); //Hallo, Taxi Driver!
        text replacelist("Hello, TaxiDriver!", "He|Hello|TaxiDriver|Hello, TaxiDriver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi Driver|Taxi!", "|", 0, 1); //Hi, Taxi Driver!
        text replacelist("Hello, TaxiDriver!", "He|Hello|TaxiDriver|Hello, TaxiDriver!", "Ha|Hi|Taxi Driver|Taxi!", "|", 0, 2); //Taxi!
      
      Remember that replacelist always looks for the match left-most in string, not left-most in searchlist:
        text replacelist("abc", "ab|b", "XY|B", "|"); //XYc
        text replacelist("abc", "b|ab", "B|XY", "|"); //XYc as well! (not aBc)
      Only if several matches are left-most in string then the left-most in searchlist wins:
        text replacelist("Taxi", "a,ax", "i,ox", ","); //Tixi
        text replacelist("Taxi", "ax,a", "ox,i", ","); //Toxi
    
    * Tree: Now the target area for hitting the expansion icons adjusts to the 
      screen DPI. So it's easier to hit now on high DPI.
    ! Show Age: Minor glitches. Fixed.

      functions did not work nicely with files like ".htaccess", i.e. files that 
      apparently consist only of an extension.

      and suffixes are appended to them.

      folder can be stated using all sorts of variables and portability syntax.
