v27.90.0034 - 2025-08-23 17:19
    + Scripting got a new function.
      Name: MRU
      Action: Adds an item to an MRU list and returns the last used item from the list.
      Syntax: mru(type, [add])
        type: Type of list.
          vf: Visual Filters /currently this is the only supported list)
        add: [optional] Item to add to the top of the list (= last used).
             If missing or empty, the current list is not altered.
        return: Last used item from the list (before adding the "add" item).
      Examples:
        echo mru("vf"); //show the last used Visual Filter
        mru("vf", "*.txt"); //set "*.txt" as last used Visual Filter
    * SC filter: Removed the change from v27.90.0028 - 2025-08-16 20:45. Setting Visual 
      Filters with SC filter will not update the Visual Filter MRU list anymore, just like 
      it was all the time since v7.90.0078 - 2009-01-27 21:16.
      If you need your scripted filter in the MRU list, you now can use SC mru (see above).
    + SC rename: New mode "ProperCase_NX". Same as "ProperCase" but without applying the 
      exceptions defined in tweaks RenameTitleCaseExceptions and RenameTitleCaseExceptionsKeep.
      Examples (with the default exceptions):
        rename "propercase";    // a house on the beach.txt -> A House on the Beach.txt
        rename "propercase_nx"; // a house on the beach.txt -> A House On The Beach.txt

v27.90.0033 - 2025-08-22 11:56
    + SC conf enhanced: Added setting "ShowIconOverlays" to control "Configuration | 
      General | Refresh, Icons, History | Icons | Show icon overlays" programmatically.
      Examples:
        echo conf("ShowIconOverlays");  //get (value is also shown in status bar)
        conf("ShowIconOverlays");       //get (value is shown in status bar)
        conf("ShowIconOverlays", 1);    //set
        conf("ShowIconOverlays", 0);    //unset
        conf("ShowIconOverlays", 0, 1); //toggle 0/1
        conf("ShowIconOverlays", "");   //toggle 0/1, alt syntax
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0007.
    ! Junctions: Retrieving junction targets did not work properly. Fixed.

    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.197.
    ! Minimized to Tray: When the app is closed while minimized to the system tray and 
      reopened in that state, tB erroneously displays the app in the taskbar in addition 
      to the system tray. If you clicked on the incorrect taskbar icon and the app had 
      previously been maximized, the entire layout would become broken. This has been 
      worked around.

    + Configuration | Jump to Setting: The settings list now also contains all bold 
      subsection headings. Before, typing "Report" into the filter box yielded no results. 
      It will now.
    ! Scripting: Crashed after only 8 recursions, whereas VB6 could stand 63. Fixed.  
      Adjusted the build stack reserve size from 1 MB to 8 MB, and it can now handle 80 
      recursions. This makes the recursion resilience better than that of VB6.

v27.90.0028 - 2025-08-16 20:45
    + Miscellaneous | Tree: Two new no-GUI commands have been added that allow you to 
      quickly switch between sibling folders using the keyboard, even when the tree is not 
      focused:
        - Go to Next Sibling        (Ctrl+Alt+Numpad Subtract)
        - Go to Previous Sibling    (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Numpad Subtract)
      NOTE: If you upgrade to this beta, you have to manually assign the shortcuts via 
      Tools | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts. The default shortcuts are clumsy, but there 
      aren't many options left. You can easily change them to whatever you like.
    ! Tree: In the Mini Tree, Ctrl+Down/Up did not always work properly to go to the next 
      or previous sibling. Fixed.
    + Custom Copy: When moving folders with contents to another volume (or to the same 
      volume with "CustomMoveIntraFastFolder=0") there is a post-processing phase "Empty 
      source folders are removed...".
      This phase used to freeze (with a nonresponsive progress dialog) on very large jobs 
      (thousands of folders). But not anymore! Now, there is live progress feedback.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0006.
    * SC filter: Since v7.90.0078 - 2009-01-27 21:16, the Visual Filter patterns used by 
      this command have not been added to the Visual Filter Most Recently Used (MRU) list. 
      However, this was inconsistent with the behavior of other comparable patterns, such 
      as Live Filters and Ghost Filters. Therefore, the change was made so that the 
      patterns are added to the MRU.
    ! Undo/Redo: After renaming a tagged folder, selecting Undo did not update the tags. 
      Fixed.

    ! Opening Files with AddToRecentDocs tweak AND 1 (which is the factory default): 
      Whenever you launched a file, a strange file with random characters briefly appeared 
      on the desktop and then disappeared. Fixed. 
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show dimensions of original: The wrong 
      dimensions were shown for certain image types (e.g., HEIC and AVIF). Fixed.

    + New Variable <xybitness n>: Returns "32" or "64" depending on the bitness of 
      the main executable (XYplorer.exe).
        echo <xybitness n>; //"32" in the VB version, "64" in the TB version        
    * Thumbnail Creation: The status bar now displays all files for which a thumbnail has 
      been created. Previously, some files were omitted.
    * SC extracttext: The bitness argument is now ignored (it's only and always 64-bit 
      now), but kept in place for backward compatibility.
      Syntax: extracttext([file], [bitness], [flags])
        bitness: [obsolete and ignored, hard-coded to 64-bit]
    ! SC extracttext: Did not work properly without passing the obsolete bitness argument. 
      Fixed.
    ! Edit Boxes: There was an annoying DING sound when pressing ENTER or ESC in many edit 
      boxes. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Padding: Dropdown didn't work properly due to 
      a TB bug. Worked around it.

    + Scripting got a new function (TB version only).
      Name: ApplyFolderView
      Action: Applies any of the saved folder views to the current list.
      Syntax: applyfolderview([path])
        path:   Path of the source folder view.
                If it does not look like a path it's checked for a partial match.
                If empty or missing then the default folder view is applied, if available.
        return: 0: No folder view found.
                1: Folder view found and successfully applied.
      Remarks:
        - You find a list of the available folder view here:
          View | Folder View Settings | Manage Folder Views...
        - You could create a small collection of folders in a corner of your AppData 
          folder, each with its own stored folder view. Then, you could use these folders 
          as a source for quickly applying a specific, complex style to the current list. 
          For example, you could use a custom toolbar button as a one-click solution for 
          this purpose.
      Examples:
        applyfolderview("E:\Test\FolderView2"); //matches exactly this path
        applyfolderview("Jimmy"); //matches the first folder view that contains "Jimmy" in the path
    + Floating Preview: Added toggle "Auto-Scroll to End" (Ctrl+E). Enable it to 
      automatically position the viewer at the end of a previewed text file. This can be 
      useful e.g. when viewing log files.
      The toggle is available in the context menu of the Floating Preview status bar 
      (which can be toggled by pressing S). The Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut is always 
      available (independently of the status bar and of the previewed file type), but of 
      course it only affects previewed texts.
      FYI, this raises tweak FPTextTail to the UI.
    * Info Panel | Raw View: Renamed the "Tail" toggle to "Auto-Scroll to End".

    + Floating Preview: Added a way to auto-position the viewer at the end of a previewed 
      text file. Currently implemented as a tweak:
        FPTextTail=1
    % Thumbnails: Experimentally implemented a little speed boost for non-cached 
      thumbnails. Exponentially more noticeable the more thumbnails there are.
    + New Constant: <cr> is resolved to the Carriage Return byte (0D).
    + New Constant: <lf> is resolved to the Line Feed byte (0A).
    > Constants <cr> and <lf> take an optional count parameter for repetition. Example:
        echo "Catch<lf 22>22";
