    ! Dark Mode: The dark tint was not yet respected by the progress dialog during 
      background operations. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0253.
    ! Multi Line Toolbar: The new overlapping Address Bar covered the Live Filter Box when 
      the latter was placed to the right of the former. Fixed.

v25.70.0115 - 2024-03-19 14:06
    + Multi Line Toolbar: Now menu-button-only lines (those buttons have no button 
      captions) stay flat when Show Button Captions is enabled. Saves vertical space.
    + Multi Line Toolbar: When displaying the address bar along with the toolbar, the 
      address bar can now overlap the first line of the toolbar if the following 
      conditions are met:
      - The toolbar has more than one line.
      - Window | Arrangement | Address Bar and Toolbar Stacked  = OFF
      - Window | Arrangement | Toolbar First                    = ON
      Of course, this only makes sense if the first line of the toolbar is not the longest 
      line. The typical use case would be to have the menu items ("All Menus (Group)") on 
      the top line of the toolbar, then the address bar on the same line, and the buttons 
      on the second line across the entire width of the window.
    * Toolbar | Open With: Now the red part of the icon turns light blue if Custom File 
      Associations are disabled.
    % Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Usability | Highlight hovered 
      items: Improved design in small lists when the hover rect collides with icons, focus 
      lines, and selections.

    ! Opening certain things, e.g. an elevated command prompt by script, did not work 
      anymore since v25.70.0111. Fixed.
    ! Hamburger: Menu keys containing an underscore, e.g. :men_file, stopped working a few 
      weeks ago. Fixed.

  +++ Multi Line Toolbar: Now you can have as many toolbar lines as you want. Just press 
      New Line in Tools | Customize Toolbar.
      Especially nice: In dark mode, you can now have a dark menu bar above the buttons 
      (while hiding the original menu bar).
    ! Thumbnails: Overlay was misplaced on thumbnails smaller than 48x48. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: The v25.70.0101 change still had some undesirable consequences 
      (unresponsive progress window). Fixed. Removed it completely from the factory 
      defaults (no change is made for upgraders). You can still tweak it (CustomCopyNoDoEvents).

v25.70.0107 - 2024-03-16 16:41
    + SC dark enhanced: Now you can adjust the dark tint.
      Syntax: dark [enable=-1], [darkness=-1], [text_contrast=-1], [adaptive=-1], [tint=-1]
        tint: Tint of the darkness.
              Valid values are 0 to 360 (0 = no tint).
      Examples:
        dark 4:=220; //blue tint
        dark 4:=120; //green tint
        dark 4:=20;  //brown tint
    * Configuration: As an experiment, buttons now increase their height when the "Button 
      and Labels" font size is increased.
    ! Custom Copy: The v25.70.0101 change had some undesirable consequences when copying 
      huge files. Fixed.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0252.

    * Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: Swapped the text colors:
      - Red with yellow text:       Invalid filename!
      - Red with white text:        Name is too long!
      Invalid filename is the only case where renaming is impossible, so it gets a special 
      text color.
    ! Icon Preview: Icons with non-square dimensions were not previewed. Fixed.

v25.70.0000 - 2024-03-12 21:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Permanent Custom Sort Order Per Folder. Now a custom sort order, created by freely 
      sorting the files in a folder by dragging them to the desired positions, can be 
      remembered per folder. Whenever you reopen that folder, it will be in the same 
      custom sort order. Windows hasn't supported this since Windows 7, but now it's back 
      in XYplorer and it's here to stay.
  +++ Zero Padding. Now it is easy to add zeros to numbers in file names during batch 
      renaming. Turn track_1.mp3, track_2.mp3, track_10.mp3 into track_01.mp3, 
      track_02.mp3, track_10.mp3 with a single click and restore a reasonable order in 
      your playlists.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.
