v24.20.0104 - 2023-03-13 21:55
    * SC runret: Major rewrite. Should support Unicode characters now regardless of the 
      regional settings.
      All the recent debug flags were removed, just call it plain like this:
        text runret("cmd /c dir c:\"); //ANSI
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001); //UTF-8

    + SC load: If the load command is within a loaded script file, you now can omit the 
      path of the loaded file. If will default to the path of the containing script file.
        load "test.xys";
      This is probably a bug fix because it was always meant to be like this. It is 
      perfectly natural and allows you to move the parent script and loaded file together 
      without any adjustments.
    > SC runret: Added another alternate route to the output, flags 24.

v24.20.0102 - 2023-03-13 12:09
    + Help | Online Support: Added command "Quick Start Guide". Goes to
      https://www.xyplorer.com/quickstart.php where the newbie is shown how to unleash the 
      power of XY.
    > SC runret: Added some alternate routes to the output, flags bit 4 and 8.
    ! Time-Stamping: Since time-stamping ensures that the archive bit is set (v23.80.0207 
      - 2022-12-15 10:57), any read-only bit in the stamped file has been lost. Fixed.
    ! SC runret: The recent fix made things only worse. Undone.
    ! Virtual Folders: Lost scroll position and selection on an auto-refresh (under 
      certain conditions). Fixed.
    ! Virtual Folders: A script _goto "vi:<pick>";_ could throw a "<path> could not be 
      accessed" error msg. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: User functions in UTF-8-encoded include files were not UTF-8-decoded. Fixed.

v24.20.0101 - 2023-03-12 15:02
    * Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Category: Renamed "Office Files" to 
      "Document Files" here and everywhere else in the GUI.
      - Some related INI keys (PreviewOffice, NoPrevOffice, OfficePreviewCustomExtensions, 
        ShowHoverBoxOffice) remain as they were for backward compatibility.
      - The generic file type {:Office} is kept alongside "{:Document}" for backward 
        compatibility. Since it's deprecated now, you should use "{:Document}" instead.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.162.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.162.lng is uploaded.
        You will be notified if you have subscribed to this thread:
        https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9648
    - Removed the following menu commands because they are pointless in today's Windows:
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu
      - Favorites | Special System Folders | Start Menu (All Users)
    ! SC runret: Under certain regional settings there was a conversion issue with CP_UTF8 
      (65001) and Unicode characters in the listed item names, for example:
        text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & cmd /c dir E:\Path-to-Test", , 65001);
      Fixed.

    ! SC freshhere: Using it on a Virtual Folder led to mayhem including a crash. Fixed. 
      Now it will use the common real path of that virtual folder. And even if there is 
      none, the crash won't happen anymore.

      correctly processed in certain contexts. Fixed.

v24.20.0017 - 2023-03-09 19:00
    * List | Permanent Custom Sort Order: When introduced in v16.50.0204 - 2016-04-07 13:37 
      the service was limited to the top 5000 items in lists of any length. It turned out 
      that in really huge lists restoring the sort order that way takes a LOT OF TIME. So 
      to make it simple, the whole PCSO business is now confined to lists up to 5000 
      items. Larger lists forget their custom sort order on a tab switch or across sessions.
    * View | Tab | Type Stats and Filter...: Now when there are 32 or more items the 
      interface is a list instead of a menu. Better to handle.
    - Removed the v24.20.0016 fix. Wrong track.

    * SC readurl: Removed a bit value from "flags".
      Syntax: readurl(url, [nocookies], [StripHTML], [flags], [codepage])
        flags (bit field)
          1: fail gently if offline ----> This bit is now ignored because the test for 
                                          being online was unreliable.
    * SC readurlutf8: The same change as above applies to SC readurlutf8.
    ! SC update: Could falsely fail with "You are Offline". Fixed.

    * Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Full name column select: 
      - Now drag-select still can be initiated in List and Small Icons views when you start 
        it in the empty area of the Name column of a non-selected item.
      - You can also force the List's white space context menu by Ctrl+Right-Click on the 
        empty area of the Name column in List and Small Icons views even if "Full name 
        column select" is enabled.
      BTW, Full Row Select has the same solutions for the same problems for a long time.
    * Virtual Folders: Deletions are generally blocked in VFOs, but an exception was made 
      for SC delete in v24.00.0601 - 2023-02-03 19:47. This exception is now limited to 
      cases where the item(s) to delete are passed as argument.
