    + Configuration | General | Safety Belts, Network | Network: Added option "Skip 
      calculation of free disk space for mapped network drives". Check to avoid long 
      delays when displaying the This PC list and there are unavailable mapped network 
      drives. It's checked by default.
      FYI, this raises tweak NetworkDriveSkipPollingBytes (2015-11-26) to the UI.
    + Mapped Drives in Tree: Hovering over the icon now shows the full UNC path in the 
      tooltip.
    % Mapped Drives: Startup with mapped drives is now even faster.
    ! Mapped Drives: In some contexts, their names were no longer displayed after recent 
      performance improvements. Fixed.

v26.80.0000 - 2025-01-18 18:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Rounded Corners. Major facelift, many corners are now rounded by default. You can, 
      of course, also opt for square corners if you prefer.
  +++ Lock Scroll Position. By default, the tree expands and scrolls to the current 
      position as needed. If you don't like the constant jumping up and down, you can now 
      fix the tree in its current scroll position. This keeps the tree view still and 
      potential drop targets in view.
  +++ Many Other Improvements. See change log.

    % Breadcrumb Bars: The leftmost dropdown menu (which includes drives) could hang for a 
      long time with unavailable network drives. Now these mapped drives are added to the 
      menu without actually being accessed. It's just assumed that they are available.
      The same strategy is applied to menu Go | Drives... and Toolbar button This PC.

    % This PC: The listing of unavailable network drives is now faster, probably almost 
      instantaneous ("probably" because several factors are involved).
    > If it is still slow for you, set this tweak:
        NetworkDriveSkipPollingBytes=1

    * Tools | Customize Toolbar...: The contents of the Zoom dropdown now adjust 
      on-the-fly when the button size is changed using the Options button.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0266.
    ! SC get('spotpatterns'): Since 20241213, it returned column indexes appended to each 
      spot pattern, separated by tabs, when it should just return the spot patterns. Fixed.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Style: If set to Box AND "Show film strip 
      overlay on video thumbnails" was enabled, a wrong dark background was drawn on 
      thumbnails showing videos, including folder thumbnails.

    + File | Rename Special | Edit Item Names...: Now has a Word Wrap checkbox, and 
      defaults to wrapped (hides the horizontal scrollbar which is usually not needed).
    % Custom Copy | Progress Dialog: More feedback in the initial phase when destination 
      folders are checked and created if necessary. Previously, there could be many 
      seconds where nothing seemed to happen.
      Currently implemented in foreground processing only.

    + Admin Settings: The paths in the [Paths] section now support environment variables, 
      for example:
        [Paths]
        FileTagDat="%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\DB.dat"
        Scripts="D:\XYusers\%USERNAME%\Scripts"
    * Deleting Items With Overlong Filenames (> 259 Characters): Apparently Windows 11 has 
      learned to handle the (permanent) deletion of overlong items, so XY's own prompt and 
      procedure are now skipped in Windows 11.
