v17.70.0207 - 2017-03-20 11:59
    + Custom Columns | Circles: Added a 5th parameter that can add an horizontal 
      offset to the circle.
        >draw.circle [diameter=smalliconsize-2], [color=textcolor], [opacity=255], _
                     [borderwidth=0], [offsetx=0]
      This allows you to create rows of circles or nicely overlapping 
      semi-transparent circles.
      Examples:
        return ">draw.circle; , 66cc55, 200,, 7";
        return ">draw.circle 8, ff0000, 127; 8, ff0000, 127,, 10; 8, ff0000, 127,, 20";
    * Mini Tree: From now on unavailable drives are not removed from the Mini 
      Tree when refreshing it if zombies are allowed.

    + Custom Columns: Now you can draw circles. The column has to be of type 
      "Script" and format "Icon", and instead of the icon specification you 
      return a draw command with the following syntax:
        >draw.circle [diameter=smalliconsize-2], [color=textcolor], [opacity=255], [borderwidth=0]
      So there is a command name "draw.circle" prefixed by ">" (to avoid any 
      ambiguities with possible filenames), then there are 4 arguments, all 
      optional with default values. If you omit all arguments, the result will 
      typically be a black circle of 14 pixels diameter.
      Remarks:
      - The Diameter is limited be the current row height of the list.
      - Color is given in RRGGBB format.
      - Opacity is from 1 (almost totally transparent) to 255 (fully opaque).
      - If Borderwidth is > 0 then the circle is not filled but outlined.
      - More than one definition can be passed, separated by ;.
      - Works also with Extra Tags of type "Icon".
      Example for a column script (note the logo of the French Air Force at the 
      bottom):
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        $base = getpathcomponent(<cc_name>, "base");
        if (strlen($base) <= 8) {
          return ">draw.circle 12, 004444, 127, 5";
        } elseif (strpos($base, "t") == 0) {
          return ">draw.circle 8, ff0000, 127, 3";
        } elseif (strpos($base, "v") != -1) {
          return ">draw.circle";
        } elseif (strpos($base, "ph") == 0) {
          return ">draw.circle 8, ff0000, 127";
        } else {
          return ">draw.circle 18, C70102; 12, FFFFFF; 6, 0380B8";
        }
        -----------------------------------------------------------
      So here we have a pretty nerdy life time killer with a creative touch.
    ! MP3 Preview: Division by zero error possible. Fixed.

    * Live Filter Box: F3 does not toggle the box anymore when the focus is in 
      the box. F3 should be free for Quick Search (or whatever you assign it 
      to). Instead you can use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to toggle the box (View | Tab | 
      Toggle Live Filter).
      Tip: As a reminder this function (Toggle Live Filter) is now also featured 
      in the right-click menu of the Live Filter Box icon.
    ! Custom Columns: Multi-click triggers (as added in v13.90.0107 - 2014-04-12 
      11:37) did not work as expected in the first five "hard" Custom Columns. 
      Fixed.
    ! Tree: There was a way to get duplicate folders in the tree (a newly 
      created folder was auto-renamed to the name of an already existing 
      folder). Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.87.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.87.lng is uploaded.

    + Extra Tags: Added type "Icon". The syntax is identical to that in Custom 
      Columns of format "Icon": you can specify icons in various ways and the 
      icons are shown in the column.
      So now you can tag particular files with particular icons, all stored in 
      the tags database (tag.dat). A cool new way to mark files.
    ! Hover Box: Tried something to fix a multi monitor related glitch. #2.
    ! Tree: Could crash on folders with more than 32,767 subfolders. Fixed.
    * Mini Tree: While testing the above I found that Mini Trees can get real 
      slow at startup when they are not "mini" anymore. Therefore from now on 
      expanded nodes with more than 5000 (an arbitrary number that feels like an 
      okay compromise) visible children will be stored in collapsed state.

    * Hover Box: Now switching between Hover Boxes of adjacent items is 
      flickerless when the Initial Delay is <= 400 ms.
    * Hover Box: Moved the position 16 pixels to the right. This is not the 
      standard position for info tips in Windows, but it's clearly a better 
      position since it allows you to move up and down without crossing any 
      Hover Box. Crucial for flickerless switching.
    * Hover Box: Moved the position one row further up or down (depending on the 
      available space). Again not the standard but you can fully read the 
      previous and next filename which is good enough to break the standard.
    ! Hover Box: Tried something to fix a multi monitor related glitch.
    ! Custom Columns: With Script/Icon columns the Item Type was ignored. Fixed.

  +++ Custom Columns: Now you can display icons in the columns (instead of 
      text). In Configure Custom Column there is a new Format "Icon". If this 
      format is selected then the column contents are taken to specify the icon 
      to be drawn.
      Remarks:
      - Icons sources can be ICO files, other files (their system icon is 
        taken), or XY native toolbar graphics.
      - Relative file paths are resolved to the "<xydata>\Icons" folder.
      - Toolbar icons are marked by a prefixed colon, e.g. ":go" (as elsewhere 
        in the app).
      Example for a script (Column type: Script), where different icons are 
      shown depending on the length of the filename base (nutty idea). The icon 
      specification is done using the "return" command:
        -----------------------------------------------
        $base = getpathcomponent(<cc_name>, "base");
        if (strlen($base) <= 8) {
          return ":go";
        } elseif (strlen($base) <= 16) {
          return "SmileyHearts.ico";
        } elseif (strlen($base) <= 32) {
          return "D:\Temp\Acorn.ico";
        } else {
          return <xy>;
        }
        -----------------------------------------------
      This new feature will probably add a lot of color to a lot of file lists. 
      Be moderate... :)

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.

      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
