    + Info Panel | Report | Current Folder: Now you can generate reports ("directory 
      dump") about the special folder "Recycle Bin". But note that currently this report 
      will be hard-coded to the Recycle Bin on drive C: (C:\$Recycle.Bin\), and, if 
      "Include Subfolders" is ticked, it reports just the first level, i.e. it will list 
      the contents of the direct subfolders of C:\$Recycle.Bin\.
      It's a makeshift solution that's just a little bit better than the previous "Folder 
      not found: Recycle Bin".
    ! Special Properties: The audio props of some WAV files were not displayed. Fixed.
    ! Tweak SyncFilterGlobal: Using the tweak caused too much filtering when going through 
      Panes | Sync Folders. Fixed.
    ! SC report: Fixed some issues with Recycle Bin.

v23.80.0202 - 2022-12-08 15:33
    + AIFF Properties: Now AIFF files with the following sample rates are supported:
      8000 Hz, 22050 Hz, 24000 Hz, 48000 Hz, 44100 Hz.
    * SC obfuscate changed and enhanced: Now you can obfuscate the Name and Path columns, 
      but keep all other columns unobfuscated.
      Syntax: obfuscate [mode], [bullet], [list], [flags]
        mode: (bit field)
          0: No obfuscation.
          1: Obfuscation of all path/file names visible on the surface (excl. the Ext column)
          2: Obfuscation of all tooltips and dropdowns.
          4: Obfuscation of all special columns (Properties, Special Properties, Custom 
             Columns, Ext column).
      Remark:
        Before, mode=1 included the special columns.
      Examples:
        obfuscate 1; //obfuscate all path/file names (excl. the Ext column)
        obfuscate 4; //obfuscate all special columns (incl. the Ext column)
        obfuscate 5; //obfuscate all path/file names and all special columns
    ! Video Thumbnails: Since 20221204, some video thumbnails displayed the wrong 
      dimensions on the thumbnails. Fixed.

    $ Enterprise Edition: Beginning in 2023, you will need an Enterprise Edition license 
      to enable Access Control and Multi-User Tagging, features that only make sense in a 
      corporate network.
      All Professional Edition licenses (i.e. all except Home licenses) purchased before 
      2023 will be internally upgraded to the Enterprise Edition at no extra charge.
    ! Paper Folders: Folder View Settings with Visual Filters and "Explicit Save Only" 
      enabled could cause the Visual Filter to get stuck when it was supposed to be 
      removed. Fixed.

    * Eaten Mouse Clicks: I stopped liking the changes from v23.60.0011 - 2022-09-12 
      13:50 and the days before. Too many clicks are eaten for my personal workflow. So, 
      for my own benefit, I made it optional by a new tweak:
        EatAlienMouseDown=1
      It's now turned off by default because I enjoy the fantasy of other people being 
      like me.

    % Thumbnails: Writing the thumbnails cache is now much faster (the more files, the 
      more noticeable).
    % Shutdown: Writing the various INI files on shutdown is now a little faster, too.
    ! Thumbnails: Overflow (error 6) when the sum of all current thumbnail pixels went 
      above 2GB. Fixed. The limit is now around 4.6 exapixels, which means your thumbnail 
      folders can now hold around 4 billion times more thumbnails than in previous 
      versions. Should be enough for a while.
      FYI, this was already fixed in 20140919, but some remnants of older code resulted in 
      the overflow error. Thumbnail generation is now fully stream-based and finally no 
      longer reliant on large amounts of RAM.

    + Time-Stamping: Time-stamping a file now ensures that the archive bit is set in that 
      file.
    * Thumbnails: The old DAT2 files (out of business since v23.50.0012 - 2022-08-14 
      16:14, but still supported till v23.80.0205 - 2022-12-13 18:55) are not compatible 
      anymore with the new internal thumbnails structures introduced with v23.80.0206 - 
      2022-12-14 16:10, and the support ends here.
      If you want to migrate old DAT2 thumbnails caches you can use a version from 
      v23.50.0012 to v23.80.0205 to convert DAT2 to the now used INI format.

v23.80.0301 - 2022-12-16 17:25
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus: Added option 
      "Hold Ctrl to show the native context menu". Tick it to replace the shell context 
      menu by a lightning fast native one when you hold the Ctrl key down while 
      right-clicking an item. Works in tree and list.
      In the list, this setting overrides "Hold Ctrl to show cell context menu" for the 
      Name column (which is pretty much the only reason this is optional and not hardcoded 
      out of the box).
      By the way, this has worked in the tree by default already since v21.50.0137 - 
      2021-03-10 12:02. Now the new option needs to be checked.
    ! Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Columns | Autosize columns maximum 
      width (0 = unlimited): The "0 = unlimited" promise had not been kept. Fixed.
    ! User-Defined Commands: The size of scripts in UDC has been internally limited to 
      32767 characters. If a script got longer, you were greeted with an overflow error.
      Not anymore. Now scripts can have 2 giga characters (2,147,483,648).
    ! Tweak PreviewEarlyFactory: On PreviewEarlyFactory=2, since 20221208, WEBP images 
      (and probably other image formats that need a preview handler), were previewed in a 
      limited size even if "Configuration | Preview | Preview | Image preview | Limit 
      original preview size" was not ticked. Fixed.

    + Native Context Menu: Now it has an "Open" command. It is equivalent to File | Open 
      Selected Item(s) (Enter).
    + Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | File List...: 
      Added "Copy Path" to the available commands. It is identical to the "File | To 
      clipboard | object path/name(s)" command, but due to its popularity I have decided 
      to give it a more prominent alternative position.
    + File | File Special | Add to Zip...: If at least one of the files to be compressed 
      has a name that is longer than 259 characters, you will now receive a message about 
      how many files could not be compressed.
    ! Registration: Specifying the license data via "Lic.ini" stopped working since 
      v23.80.0204. Fixed.
  !!! Fixed a mysterious crash bug (error 9 message with special debug compilation, no 
      message at all without it) that some users have reported off and on over the years.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.156.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.156.lng is uploaded.
