v27.90.0044 - 2025-09-10 12:07
    + Thumbnail Cache: By default, the cache is automatically updated for each file whose 
      modified date has changed since the cache was written. You can now skip this service 
      by setting this tweak:
        CacheIgnoreModified=1
    * Tools | Customize List | Show Folder Row Colors: Changed the factory default so that 
      Color Filter text colors are shown while Show Folder Row Colors is enabled.
        OLD: "664B34,F6F0E0"
        NEW: ",F6F0E0"
      Upgraders can achieve the same by running this script:
        interfacecolors(",F6F0E0", 2);        
    ! Hover Box: Under certain conditions, the icon in the status area could fail to be 
      retrieved (instead, the question mark icon was shown) when a junction was in the 
      path. Fixed.
    ! SC gettoken: The combination of a delimiter longer than one character, a negative 
      index, and the flag "Return from start" could result in wrong returns. Fixed.
      Example:
        echo gettoken("A-|-B-|-C-|--|-", -4, "-|-", , 1); //was "", but is now correctly "A-|-B"

v27.90.0043 - 2025-09-08 13:10
    ! System Icons: In some contexts, e.g. Hover Box, system icons could not be retrieved 
      (showed the question mark icon instead) for items that contained Unicode characters 
      in the name AND had a junction in the path (weird but true; must be a bug in one 
      Windows API; maybe only Win8.1, didn't check). Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: When moving or copying folders with "Rename folders on collision" and 
      "Preserve all item dates" enabled, and "On name collision" set to "Suffix increment 
      to copy", the dates of the copy (the folder with the suffixed increment) were 
      actually not preserved but set to now. Fixed.
      Can't say when this bug started, but it looks like it's been around forever.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.20.0008.

    ! Scripting: Scripting failed when processing fractional calculation results if the 
      locale used a decimal separator other than a dot. This is because regionalization 
      has not yet been fully implemented in TB. Worked around it.

    * Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | Overall spacing: Increased the max from 
      8 to 12.
    * Factory Defaults: Overall spacing increased from 4 to 8 (Configuration | Colors and 
      Styles | Styles | Overall spacing). Some buttons were also removed from the toolbar 
      to make the app look lighter and more up to date.
    ! MLS: Removed three unnecessary translations.

v27.90.0038 - 2025-08-29 17:16
    + Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Sort: Added option "Treat hyphens and 
      apostrophes like normal characters".
      Background: Unless it's a binary comparison, Windows's string comparison treats 
      hyphens and apostrophes in a special way that might not produce the desired sort 
      order. Now you are in control. For example:
        Not ticked:         Ticked:
          File.txt            File.txt
          File'A.txt          File'A.txt
          File-A.txt          File'C.txt
          FileB.txt           File-A.txt
          File'C.txt          File-C.txt
          File-C.txt          FileB.txt
      Remarks:
        - This setting only affects the Text and Natural sort methods.
        - And it only affects sorting in the main file list. Not in the folder tree and 
          not anywhere else.
        - Ticking this setting will slow down sorting a tiny bit, so if you don't need it, 
          don't tick it.
    ! Main Menu: Checkmarks in a submenu are not always updated when using the integrated 
      menu bar on the toolbar. Fixed.

      "XYplorer Style (Rounded)" the focus rect was not drawn rounded when Full Row Select

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

    + 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.
