    * Tweak DropOnRarSpecial (v16.80.0015 - 2016-05-30 14:33) has been removed 
      and hard-coded to ON internally. So drop on RAR will now work reliably and 
      unconditionally.
    ! Floating Preview: "Run Script" did not work by F8 when "Allow Custom 
      Keyboard Shortcuts in Preview" was enabled. Fixed.

v17.70.0105 - 2017-03-09 21:18
    + Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Usability: Added setting "Scroll 
      margin" to promote smarter scrolling in Tree and List. Here you can set 
      the distance in lines from top or bottom when scrolling sets in. The 
      scroll margin gives some context to your cursor. It lets you see where you 
      are going before you go there. Which is quite relaxing.
      Affects keys Up, Down, PageUp, and PageDown in Tree and List when there is 
      a vertical scrollbar.
      Note that the value also controls where the focused item is positioned 
      when you do Ctrl+Dbl-Click on the white space (= Scroll focused item into 
      view) in Tree or List.
      This raises tweak KeyScrollMargins to GUI.
      Overcome your fear of edges. Feel like Columbus.
    - Removed tweak ListRowForAutoScroll: Replaced by Scroll Margin.
    - Removed tweak TreeRowForAutoScroll: Replaced by Scroll Margin.
    - Removed tweak TreeRowForDblClickScroll: Replaced by Scroll Margin.
    % Portable Devices: Improves auto-refresh after file operations.

v17.70.0103 - 2017-03-08 18:39
    + Help | Online Support | Check for Updates: Now you get a warning message 
      in case you only own a Standard License and the upgrade would not be 
      covered by this license (i.e. it was released more than one year after you 
      purchased your license).
    + Tweak KeyScrollMargins: Use it to specify the number of lines shown ahead 
      of the focused item when scrolling the Tree or the List by Up and Down 
      keys. Purpose: No more jumping into the dark unknown.
      Already this makes a huge difference in usability:
        KeyScrollMargins=1

v17.70.0102 - 2017-03-08 10:23
    + Visual Filters and Live Filter Box: Now you can filter for date units in 
      the future by passing negative counters:
        ageM:  1 d      Modified yesterday
        ageM:  0 d      Modified today
        ageM: -1 d      Modified tomorrow
        ageM: -2 d      Modified the day after tomorrow
    + Find Files and Quick Search: Now you can search for files modified the 
      day after tomorrow:
        ageM:  -2 d        
    * Live Filter Box: Now ESC in the box will hide the box when in "redirect 
      TAF to LFB" mode, regardless whether it's filled or empty.

v17.70.0101 - 2017-03-07 15:54
    + SC favs enhanced: Now append/prepend will not create duplicate entries. 
      Two new modes have been added to allow dupes.
      Name: Favs
      Syntax: favs([type=d|f], [items], [separator=CRLF], [action=a|aa|p|pp|s|d)
        action: Action to take with the items.
                a = [Default] Append to current list.
                    No dupes: If item is already present then nothing happens.
                aa = Append to current list. Dupes allowed.
                p = Prepend to current list.
                    No dupes: If item is already present then nothing happens.
                pp = Prepend to current list. Dupes allowed.
                s = Set/Replace current list.
                d = Delete from current list.
      Examples:
        - Append current item to Favorite Folders, don't allow dupes:
          favs("d", <curitem>, , "a");
        - Append current item to Favorite Folders, allow dupes:
          favs("d", <curitem>, , "aa");                
    * Live Filter Box: Now if "Configuration | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type 
      Ahead Find | Redirect typing to Live Filter Box" is enabled then pressing 
      ESC in an empty LFB will not only move the focus to the list but hide the 
      LFB. IMO it's natural and consistent: When can show it by typing should 
      also be able to hide it by typing.

v17.70.0100 - 2017-03-06 23:23
    = MAINTENANCE RELEASE.
  +++ The last version, v17.70.0000, had an issue where the mouse input was not 
      released to other processes under certain conditions. Nothing dangerous 
      but certainly annoying. It's fixed now.

v17.70.0000 - 2017-03-06 17:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:    
  +++ Hover Box. When hovering a file icon or caption of an image file a popup 
      shows a thumbnail and basic file, image, and photo information. A highly 
      addictive zero click preview.
  +++ Keyboard Navigation. Now you can navigate the list and open files and 
      folders right from the Live Filter Box. Productivity boost for typers.
  +++ Live Filter Box. Now you can type a space to see only those items with at 
      least one space in their name. Sounds lame but File Explorer can't do it.

v17.60.0110 - 2017-03-05 15:46
    * Visual Filter and Live Filter Box: Now you can filter by spaces simply by 
      entering them as name pattern. They will be auto-flanked by * wildcards.
      Examples (_ stands for space, to make it visible):
        _     Matches "Romeo_Juliet.flac" and "Romeo__Juliet.flac"
        __    Matches "Romeo__Juliet.flac"
      Before, entering one or more spaces without any other chars or quotes 
      would have matched nothing (which was pretty much a bug IMO).
    * Visual Filter and Live Filter Box: From now on flanking spaces in 
      patterns are not trimmed anymore. Feels more natural, especially in Live 
      Filter Box when narrowing down the results.
      Examples (_ stands for space, to make it visible):
        Pattern   Filename              Before    Now
          _j      Romeo_Juliet.flac     match     match
          _u      Romeo_Juliet.flac     match     NO match
      NOTE: In Quick Search and Find Files it's (still) the old way, flanking 
      spaces are trimmed! I'm still checking the consequences of a change...
    * List | Columns Headers: Increased their height by 3 pixels. Adds to a more 
      relaxed and balanced look.

    * Configuration | File Info Tips | Show info tips only when hovering file 
      icon: Changing the change in v17.60.0107 now this will only happen on 
      "icon views", not on "thumbnails views". Else there's too much popping.
    ! Floating Preview: Could crash with error 11 (Division by zero) on 
      minimizing the window. Fixed.
    ! Hover Box: Popping over a half-visible icon at the bottom of the list the 
      mouse could leave the list downwards while the box stayed visible. Fixed.
