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.

    + List | Information Bar: Now in patterns with flanking spaces the spaces 
      are replaced by a visible character, Unicode Character 'OPEN BOX' (U+2423).
      That way you can actually see what's going on.
    + Tabs: Same as above is done in tab headers for Visual Filters.
    + Various Tooltips: Same as above.
    + Mouse Down Blow Up: Now it has a drop shadow.
    + Hover Box: Now it has a drop shadow.
    * Hover Box: Now abundant width is trimmed.
    ! List: After "New Folder" in the root of drive C:\ the rename box was 
      auto-closed. Fixed.
    ! Scripting: The keywords "break", "case", "default", and "return" were not 
      case-insensitive in all contexts. Fixed.

    * Hover Box: Now the largest icon in an ICO resource is shown, and the 
      setting of "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show transparency grid" is 
      honored (just like it is in Mouse Down Blow Up).
    * Hover Box: Now "Cannot decode." is shown on such images.
    * Configuration | File Info Tips | Show info tips only when hovering file 
      icon: On various views (Large Icons, Tiles, Thumbnails) this setting did 
      not work as expected but the info tips only popped over the caption. Now 
      they pop over the icon or thumbnail.
    + Configuration | File Info Tips: Added option "Show info tips only while 
      the shift key is held down". Tick it to show File Info Tips only while the 
      Shift key is held down.
      Raises tweak FileInfoTipHoldShift to GUI.

v17.60.0105 - 2017-03-02 21:49
  +++ Hover Box: Also known as HoverBox™. The latest and hippest feature of XY. 
      If enabled the normal File Info Tip for images is replaced by the Hover 
      Box, a dark popup that shows a thumbnail and basic file, image, and photo 
      data. The thumbnail has a max space of 400 x 400 (bounding box).
      The idea is to get a small image preview without any clicking, a Zero Click 
      Preview (and also Zero Sound by the way). It's kind of a pre-preview to 
      the Mouse Down Blow Up, which is just a mouse down away.
      Remarks:
      - How to enable the feature:
        - Configuration | File Info Tips | Show image info and preview
      - How to open the box:
        - Move mouse over the file (icon or caption, depending on settings and view).
      - How to close the box:
        - Move mouse out of the file.
        - Move mouse over another file (pops a new box).
        - Move mouse over the box itself.
        - Press ESC.
      - The box honors "Initial delay in milliseconds", but it does not honor 
        "Visible time in milliseconds". It will stay up until actively closed.
      - At the moment the Hover Box is only available for images. Other file 
        formats *might* follow in a later phase, not sure yet.
      - There is nothing to configure (I hope this feels relaxing to you).
    * Configuration | File Info Tips: Moved stuff around a bit.

v17.60.0103 - 2017-03-01 19:42
    + Configuration: Created new section "Find and Filter", 
      containing 2 pages (and I moved some stuff around):
      - Find Files & Branch View (previously under File Operations)
        - Find Files
        - Branch View
      - Filters & Type Ahead Find (new)
        - Visual Filters (previously under Find Files & Branch View)
        - Live Filter Box (new)
        - Type Ahead Find (previously under Menus, Mouse, Safety)
    + Configuration | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Live Filter Box: Added a field 
      enter the "Delay before filter is applied (in milliseconds)".
      The tweak "LiveFilterDelay" is hereby raised to GUI.
      Factory default is 0 (to show off some speed) but I'm personally happy 
      with 300 ms. Reduces the browsing action if you type faster than 300 ms 
      between the strokes.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.86.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.86.lng is uploaded.

v17.60.0102 - 2017-03-01 14:54
    + SC gettoken enhanced: Now you can pass an empty separator.
      Syntax: gettoken(string, [index=1], [separator=" "], [format], [flags])
        separator:  Separator used in list of tokens.
                    If empty ("") then the string is separated char by char.
      Examples:
        text gettoken("abcd", 1, ""); //a
        text gettoken("abcd", 4, ""); //d
        text gettoken("abcd", -1, ""); //d
        text gettoken("abcd", 2, "", , 1); //ab   (Return from start)
        text gettoken("abcd", 2, "", , 2); //bcd  (Return till end)
    * Live Filter Box: Hitting Enter now works on the focused item even if it is 
      not selected. In that case the focused item is auto-selected before 
      processing continues. Saves a key stroke in some situations.
    * Live Filter Box: Experimentally the Backspace key can now be used right 
      from the LFB if it is mapped to "Go | Up" (by default Backspace) or "Go | 
      Down" (by default Shift+Backspace) AND if the LFB is empty.
    - Configuration | Fonts: As indicated in v12.50.0021 - 2013-07-01 20:40 the 
      section "Configuration | Fonts | Dialogs" has now been removed. All 
      elements previously controlled by it are now controlled by "Configuration 
      | Fonts | Buttons and Labels". Adds clarity by removing a superfluous 
      category. Less is more.
