  +++ List: Added Tiles view. Extra large icons (48x48), 4 info lines:
      Name, Type, Size, Modified Date. Hard column width 250 pixels.
      This is the base. The future will bring enhancements.
    * Tweak IconFile (to load custom app icon from a stand-alone icon 
      file) now supports XY Variables (e.g. <xyicons>) and Environment 
      Variables.

    + Type Ahead Find: The max interval to interpret two consecutive 
      keystrokes as belonging to one string defaults to 750 msec. Now 
      you can alter this value via the tweak() function (or by tweaking 
      the INI directly):
        tweak("TAFTimeout", 1500);  // set it to 1500 msec
        echo tweak("TAFTimeout");   // get current value
      Valid values are between 250 and 5000.
    + Catalog: Now when you drop *files* (as opposed to folders) to a 
      Category, the default "Action on click" is "Open Item". Before it 
      was "Go to Location".
    ! Tab Bar: The second click of a dbl-click on the "Plus" (New Tab) 
      button was processed *as* a dbl-click on whatever was under the 
      mouse now, which it should not. Fixed.

    * Highlight matches: As a tribute to Mick Jagger this setting is now 
      turned on by factory default.
    ! The experimental TAFMatchAnywhere=3 tweak (v12.70.0003) crashed 
      the app when opening config. Fixed.

    > Here are some tweaks to play with:
        TAFMatchAnywhere=0 Match at beginning
        TAFMatchAnywhere=1 Match anywhere
        TAFMatchAnywhere=2 Match at beginning, if no match then match anywhere
        TAFMatchAnywhere=3 If Len(Pattern) = 1 Then match like 2 Else match like 1        
      FYI, the last one matches my personal needs best.

v12.70.0002 - 2013-07-25 13:12
    + Drag and Drop: Added tweak to simplify and thereby quicken the 
      preparatory processes before a drag is started. The effect is 
      notable only when dragging a huge number of items from a very slow 
      device.
        SimpleDrag=1
      If enabled you will not get items like "Create Shortcut(s) Here" 
      anymore in the right-mouse drop context menu when dragging stuff 
      from XY to another app.
      Tip: This tweak is accessible via the non-documented tweak() 
      command:
        tweak("simpledrag", ""); // toggle
        tweak("simpledrag", 1); // on
        tweak("simpledrag", 0); // off
        echo tweak("simpledrag"); // get state      
    + Type Ahead Find: Added tweak to turn off the Windows standard 
      behavior that a quickly repeated first character will cycle 
      through matching items:
        TAFNoRepeatCharCycle=1
      Now a quickly repeated first character will simply add up to a 
      multi-character pattern just as if you typed two different 
      characters.

    * Type Ahead Find: Now you can press * (asterisk) as end-of-pattern 
      marker. Using this you can find "aa" by typing "aa*". Before it 
      was not possible to find "aa" because repeated letters are treated 
      as individual patterns by common Windows standards.
      Note that * is NOT a wildcard in this context, and of course it is 
      not part of the pattern.
      Note that "a*a" will work as well, so * could also be called end-
      of-repeated-character-counts-as-new-pattern-mode marker.
    ! Menu Favorites | Add Last Tags: After adding tags via "Add Tags by 
      List..." the last used tags were not updated. Fixed.
    ! Highlight matches: Did not highlight patterns with uppercase 
      letters. Fixed.

v12.70.0000 - 2013-07-23 12:00
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main developments since last release:
  +++ Color Filters by Length. Now you can color-code overlong filenames 
      (longer than 260 characters).
  +++ Type Ahead Find 2.0. Now you have commands to jump to the 
      next/previous match, a status bar message showing the typed 
      pattern, and live highlighting of the matches right in the file 
      list.
  +++ Line Number Selection. A revolutionary new way to toggle select 
      files. It's like checkbox selection without the checkboxes.
  +++ Extended Reporting. Custom reporting now supports the complete set 
      of file metadata. So you can pick out whatever info bits you need 
      and export them in a fully customizable format.
  +++ Licensing. Now you can upgrade your Standard License to a Lifetime 
      License at a 20% discount. And the Lifetime License is back!

    + SC get got a new named argument "propertyindex".
      Syntax: get("propertyindex", propertyname)
        propertyname: Name of the property.
                      It's identical to the column header in Details 
                      view, and has to be in the system locale (e.g. in 
                      German in a German Windows).
        return:       The numerical index of that property.
                      Or "-1" if the propertyname is not found.
      Note:
        The return varies from Windows to Windows, and from system to system.
      Usage:
        Make scripts using extended properties (SC property, SC report 
        with "prop:") portable and working under different Windows versions.
      Examples:
        text get("propertyindex", "besitzer");    // -> might return "8" in a German XP
        text get("propertyindex", "orientation"); // -> might return "254" in a English Win7
    * The "About XYplorer" dialog does not use the custom font size 
      anymore because the layout broke just too much on higher sizes.

    + Licensing: The Lifetime License is back! I found a way to offer it 
      in a robot-proof and unmistakable way, which again allowed me to 
      adjust its price to better match its actual value, i.e. the price 
      has been increased.
    + Licensing: Now you can upgrade your Standard License to a Lifetime 
      License at a 20% discount. On 2013-07-17 already, but forgot to 
      mention it here.
    * Updated the help file.

    + Menu Help | Online Support: Added "Upgrade License".
    + SC selectitems enhanced. Added a "pane" parameter which allows you 
      to select items in the inactive pane without switching focus first.
      Syntax: selectitems itemlist, [ignoreextensions], [focusfirst=1], _
                  [mode], [pane]
        pane:
          a = [default] active pane

    + Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find: Added 
      "Highlight matches". Tick it to highlight the current Type Ahead 
      Find matches in the List (it's not implemented in the Tree).
      That's the TAFHighLight tweak gone GUI.
    * Type Ahead Find: Better highlighting. Now it's hard-coded to black 
      on yellow independent of any other colorings active at the same 
      point. So it is always well readable.
    * Type Ahead Find: Now the highlighting can be removed by ESC.

    + Tweak to highlight Type Ahead Find matches in the list. Especially 
      nice is that you now see which column is matched in case you 
      ticked Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Type Ahead Find | 
      Use sorted column.
        TAFHighLight=1
      The highlighting itself works like with Spot and Jump.
    * Type Ahead Find: Better Status Bar feedback.
    * SC hash enhanced. Now you can show progress and break out by ESC.
      Syntax: hash([algo=md5], [string], [flags])
        flags: (binary field)
          0: [default] String is data to hash.
          1: String is a file spec whose contents to hash.
          2: Show progress and allow break out by ESC.
             Only applied if "1" is also set.
      Example:
        text hash(,,3); //md5 of current list file, with progress
    * Display Hash Values: Improved progress and break out by ESC. Now 
      it also works with CRC-32.

      Bar and you can abort the operation by ESC.
    * Type Ahead Find: On successfully repeating a pattern you now get a 
      Status Bar message showing which pattern has been matched.

      font sizes, and/or under non-standard DPI settings the line height 
      of the Commands list was too small. Fixed.

v12.60.0009 - 2013-07-18 16:41
    + CKS | Miscellaneous | Focus Functions: Added "Next Type Ahead 
      Match" (#1075) and "Previous Type Ahead Match" (#1076). They 
      repeat the last used Type Ahead Find pattern in forward 
      respectively backward direction.
      Usage: Serves nicely to quickly repeat a multi-character Type 
      Ahead Find pattern.
    + The last used Type Ahead Find pattern is now stored between 
      sessions. It's one global last pattern for all panes, tabs, 
      folders, lists, etc.
      Usage: In connection with the new commands added above this can be 
      extremely useful when you need quick jumping to files of a certain 
      name in different locations.
    + SC get got a new named argument "menucaption".
      Syntax: get("menucaption", command_ID, flags)
        command_ID:   Command ID.
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Append the currently assigned KS, separated by a TAB.
          2 = Strip accelerators.
        return:       The command's menu caption in the currently loaded 
                      language.
      Examples:
        echo get("menucaption", 800, 1);  //&Dual Pane  F10
        echo get("menucaption", 800, 3);  //Dual Pane  F10
    ! Zip Support: Support for custom extensions was not perfect yet. 
      Fixed.
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.34.

    + Zip Support: Added tweak to add more extensions to extracting from 
      and adding to zip folders. Example:
        ZipFldrCustomExtensions=cab.zop
      Note that the extensions must be known to the registry as 
      "CompressedFolder" and, of course, the file format must be 
      supported by the ZipFolder technology.
    + Zip Support: Added tweak to add more extensions to Zip View. 
      Example:      
        ZipViewCustomExtensions=cab.zop
      Note that the extensions must be known to the registry as 
      "CompressedFolder" and, of course, the file format must be 
      supported by the ZipFolder technology.
    * Tooltips: The visible time for the major tooltips (Tree, List, 
      Catalog, Status Bar, Toolbar, Tabs) is not controlled by 
      "Configuration | File Info Tips | Visible time in milliseconds".
      Note that changing "Initial delay in milliseconds" and "Visible 
      time in milliseconds" will not take effect for every tooltip 
      without a restart.
    ! Scripting | HereDoc: Parsing issue with unclosed quotes in radical 
      HereDocs (<<<#HD) and block quotes (/* ... */). Fixed.
