    + Configuration | Tree and List | List: Added option "Sticky checkbox 
      selection". Tick it to enable the revolutionary new checkbox selection 
      behavior. Untick it to stay with the boring old behavior known from 
      Explorer.
      Note: This raises the former tweak ListCheckboxSelectionMode to the GUI.

    + Scripting commands setting/settingp enhanced: New named argument 
      "findextendedpatternmatching" to enable/disable extended pattern matching.
      Examples:
        setting "findextendedpatternmatching", 0; goto "?#";  //finds #.txt
        setting "findextendedpatternmatching", 1; goto "?#";  //finds 1.txt
      Usage:
      - If your script invokes a search with patterns that contain #, !, [, or 
        ], you should use this command before the search to ensure the 
        functionality you desire.
    * List: Soft Columns of type "Property" are now all left-aligned. Before, 
      they were all right-aligned.

v15.00.0102 - 2015-03-13 16:55
    + Flat Select: Now you can prefix a column caption to the pattern just like 
      it's already been possible with Selection Filter for a long time.
      Examples:
        >>>modified: 2015       matches all items where the Modified column matches "*2015*"
        >>>SIZE: 0*             matches all items where the Size column starts with "0"
        >>>size: 0*|1*          matches all items where the Size column starts with "0" or "1"
    * Flat Select, Selection Filter: Now the column prefix can be partial. If no 
      column is identical to the prefix, then the first column with a partial 
      match (from beginning: Modified LikeI mod*) is used.
        >>>MOD: 2015            matches all items where the Modified column matches "*2015*"
        >>>siz: 0*              matches all items where the Size column starts with "0"
        >>>siz: 0*|1*           matches all items where the Size column starts with "0" or "1"
    + Spot and Jump: The above enhancements also apply to Spot and Jump.
      Examples:
        >>mod: 2015             spot (highlight) all items where the Modified column matches "*2015*"
        >size: 0*               jump to the next item where the Size column starts with "0"
        >size: *KB              jump to the next item where the Size column ends with "KB"
    + User | Manage Commands...: Now dbl-clicking an item in the Commands list 
      will trigger the "Browse..." or "Edit..." button (if there is any).
    + Added tweak to support auto-wildcards in Address Bar locations.
        ABAutoWildcards=1
      If enabled then the last component of a non-existing location is wrapped 
      in wildcards (C:\path\*component*) and the first matching item (folder or 
      file!) is used as location. This works as well for relative paths.
      Examples:
      - "E:\Test\drop\folder1\95" goes to "E:\Test\drop\folder1\6950" if 
        "E:\Test\drop\folder1\95" does not exist.
      - When in "E:\Test\drop\folder1" then "95" goes to 
        "E:\Test\drop\folder1\6950" if "E:\Test\drop\folder1\95" does not exist.
      - "C:\Wi" goes to "C:\Windows" (probably).
    * Configuration | Controls and More | Miscellaneous | Address Bar relative 
      to application path: This setting now also affects Go | Go to... Actually, 
      IMO it was a bug that it did not do so before. Before, Go | Go to... was 
      *always* relative to application path.

    * Tweak ABAutoWildcards: Now matching is done in this order:
      - C:\sub\lastcomponent
      If this folder or file is not found, then *folders* (not files) are 
      looked for in this order:
      - C:\sub\lastcomponent*
      - C:\sub\*lastcomponent*
    > In the change log of v14.80.0239 - 2015-03-05 15:04 I claimed "both work 
      the same":
        <get counticons "<cc_item>">
        <get counticons <cc_item>>
      Wrong! The second example will fail for filenames with spaces in them!

v15.00.0106 - 2015-03-15 19:41
    + Added tweak to include some special virtual system folders (This PC, 
      Network, Recycler) when enabling "Configuration | Shell Integration | 
      XYplorer is default file manager".
        ShellIncludeSpecialFolders=1
      If enabled This PC, Network, and Recycler can be opened in XYplorer by 
      dbl-click from anywhere in the system.
      Remarks:
      - This works only for folders that XY can display. So, no joy with pseudo 
        folders like "Control Panel", "Libraries", etc. The system, however, 
        will now pass ALL those folders to XY, and they will all be redirected 
        to "This PC" because XY cannot handle them.
        So, how do you open these folders now when you need them? Only directly 
        through Explorer. Exception: The control panel can be opened from 
        XYplorer via Tools | Tools Special | Control Panel...
        Now you understand why this is only a tweak. XY is a file manager, not a 
        name space explorer.
      - Before you set the tweak, untick "XYplorer in shell context menu" and 
        "XYplorer is default file manager" (Configuration | Shell Integration) 
        if they are ticked. Then set the tweak. Then tick them again. That way 
        you won't have data garbage in the registry (harmless, but we like it to 
        be perfect, right?).
    * Floating Preview: Now if "Configuration | Preview | Floating and full 
      screen preview | Mouse down blow up" is OFF then there is no Mouse Down 
      Blow Up under any circumstances. Before, there was Mouse Down Blow Up in 
      that case IF the preview was not horizontally or vertically cropped.

v15.00.0109 - 2015-03-16 11:10
    - Removed tweak ShellIncludeSpecialFolders (v15.00.0106 - 2015-03-15 19:41).
      Reason: It ultimately does not work because certain sections of the 
      Control Panel cannot be reached anymore if it ON, not even by Explorer.
      Tip: If you tried this tweak in the last beta then turn it off now in this 
      order (in v15.00.0106!):
        1) Unmake XY the default file manager.
        2) turn OFF the tweak
        3) Remake XY the default file manager.
    ! Icons not correctly centered in large thumbnails views. Fixed.

    + SC get got a new named argument "freespace" by which you can retrieve 
      the free space on a drive.
      Syntax: get("freespace", [item], [flags])
        item:     Full path to a drive, or item on a drive.
                  If missing the currently focused item is used.
                  If item is not a drive itself then the item's drive is used 
                  for the calculation.
        flags:    
                  1: return the raw bytes (else formatted).
        return:   The number of free bytes on the drive, depending on flags 
                  formatted or raw.
      Note:
        Mount points are honored.
      Examples:
        echo get("freespace");
        echo get("freespace", "E:\Test");
        echo get("freespace", , 1); //return raw bytes
    + SC get got a new named argument "usedspace" by which you can retrieve 
      the used space on a drive.
      Syntax analog to "freespace" (see above).
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0069.
