    * Custom Copy | Overwrite Prompt: If the two files were the same size but had 
      different contents, the label would be red, indicating a potential issue. However, 
      there is no problem. It's fine. If the contents were the same, there would be no 
      reason to copy the file. Therefore, the label is now blue.
    * XYcopy: Updated to 2.10.0290.
    ! Hover Box: Since 20251001, the target in a Hover Box for Junctions and SymLinks has 
      been labeled "Mount Point Target" instead of "Junction Target". Fixed.

    + Virtual Folders: Since their invention (v23.90.0411 - 2023-01-10 19:53), the rule 
      has been: "You cannot drag items into a VFO." That's no longer true. Now, you can. 
      You can even drag items onto folders in the Path column of a Virtual Folder.
    ! Custom Columns #1-10: Custom Columns with Trigger=Click were not refreshed on 
      Refresh Column, the Click symbol just remained in place. Fixed.

    + Added tweak to update the taskbar when moving the app window to a new monitor.
        UpdateTaskbarOnMonitorSwitch=1
      Previously, the taskbar updated automatically, which involved a brief, distracting 
      flash of the app window. Now, you must opt in to refresh the taskbar. However, 
      depending on your system settings and Windows version, Windows may handle this 
      automatically, so it might not be necessary.

    ! Overlong Items: Copying overlong items to the clipboard could lead to fatal memory 
      corruption resulting in a crash sooner or later. Fixed.
    ! Overlong Items: Dragging overlong items from a volume that supports 8.3 names 
      (typically C:) automatically converted the long path into the 8.3 format, also known 
      as the DOS short name, e.g. "long path.docx" -> "LONGPA~1.DOC". Fixed by actively 
      reconverting the short name back to a long name.
    ! Info Panel | Preview | Text Files: The "Decoded as:" information was incorrect when 
      the default system code page was not 1252. Fixed. Now, for example, it shows "System 
      Default 1253 (ANSI - Greek)" when the default system code page is Greek and no other 
      code page is selected for the Preview Tab.

v27.20.1004 - 2026-02-26 17:00
    * Updated the help file.
    ! Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Flexible tab width: If "Flexible tab width" 
      was off and the difference between minimum and maximum tab width was smaller than 38 
      pixels (at 100% screen scaling), then "Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs | Show 
      X close buttons on tabs" did not work for the right-most tab when set to "All tabs" 
      or "All tabs on hover". Fixed.
    ! List: Fixed another bug related to selecting multiple items with the keyboard.
    ! Scripting | Associative Arrays: An array created by the array() function could not 
      later be used as an associative array. Fixed. Now this works as expected:
        $a = array(); 
            $a[0] = "dog";
            $a[1] = "mouse";
            $a["pussy"] = "cat";
            $a[2] = "horse";
            echo "It is a $a[0]! (dog)";
            echo "It is a $a[1]! (mouse)";
            echo "It is a $a[2]! (horse)";
            echo "It is a $a[3]! ($a[3])";
            echo "It is a $a['pussy']! (cat)";
            echo "It is a $a['fuzzy']! ($a['fuzzy'])";
    ! Bytes Formatting: Fixed a slight rounding error with exabytes (EB).

v27.20.1002 - 2026-02-20 18:12
    + OneDrive: Added experimental tweak to support OneDrive For Business. 
      Conditions to show the OneDrive For Business folder.
      - Windows 10 or later.
      - Enable "OneDrive folder" in Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in 
        Tree and List | Select Items...
      - Set new tweak (see https://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=tweak):
        OneDriveAccount=1
      If no OneDrive For Business account is found, the personal OneDrive folder is shown 
      instead if there is one.
    % Hover Box: The maximum size (bounding box) was limited to 80% of the screen height 
      (work area = screen height excluding task bar). Now it's 100%.
    ! Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Show thumbnails in tiles views: In Small 
      Tiles view, custom folder icons (e.g., from desktop.ini) had rugged edges when the 
      tiles weren't a standard size. Fixed. For example, the icons in 64x64 tiles are now 
      drawn at 48x48.
      Note that you can tweak back the old behavior: ThumbsIconsSameSize=1. The bug here 
      actually was that the tweak was ignored (seen as always ON) in Small Tiles view.

    + Toolbar | Bookmark Buttons: You can now display them without text. In "Rename 
      Bookmark..." (from the button's context menu) simply clear the edit box to display 
      only the icon. Previously, if no caption was specified, one was automatically 
      generated from the location.
    + Using arrow keys to jump to the next item while the hover box is showing now even 
      works if the current hover box is right under the cursor.
    ! Menu Go | Up: When parent folders were hidden in the Maxi Tree (e.g., due to "View > 
      Show Items > Show Hidden Files and Folders" being off), going up would lead to the 
      first visible parent being listed unnecessarily and very briefly (just visible as a 
      flash) before listing the actual destination. Fixed.

    + Hover Box: The status section for text files now shows the line endings if they are 
      not DOS (CRLF), which is the normal case on Windows.
        DOS       = CRLF      (normal case, not shown)

        Mac       = CR

    ! Rename: Attempting to rename a hard drive without administrator privileges could 
      result in a lockup situation where the application had to be terminated in Task 
      Manager. Fixed. Now, the error message appears in the status bar instead of a 
      message box.
