v16.30.0006 - 2016-03-01 15:36
    + Portable File Associations: Now you can state the name of the executable 
      (with or without ".exe") of registered applications and the PFA will work.
      Examples for PDF-XChange Viewer (both are functionally identical):
        pdf>PDFXCview
        pdf>PDFXCview.exe
    * Preview Pane: Changed its color from Window Background to Button Face. 
      Looks and feels better, especially when nothing is being previewed.
    ! Preview Pane: Fixed some glitches.

To download the latest BETA version choose a download package: (1) Installer Package, (2) No-Install Package.

Note that BETA versions are work in progress and might contain fresh bugs. You have been warned.
It's a good idea to backup your complete XYplorer settings (menu File | Settings Special | Backup Application Data Folder...)
before running a new BETA version. This will also help in fixing any fresh bugs.

    + Added experimental "Freeze Info" toggle to the context menu of the "Toggle 
      Info Panel" Status Bar button. Tick it to freeze the current IP info and 
      all previews (IP, PP, FP).
    ! Preview Pane: Fixed some more glitches.

v16.30.0009 - 2016-03-02 15:34
    + Miscellaneous | Preview: Added toggle "Freeze Info and Preview" (#1079), 
      default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F11. Tick it to freeze the current IP info and 
      all previews (IP, PP, FP).
      So the experimental "Freeze Info" from v16.30.0008 has gone official now.
      Note that the default shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F11 has been taken away from 
      "Miscellaneous | Preview | Snapshot Video Preview".
    + Preview Pane: Now it conforms to Configuration | Styles | Borders.

v16.30.0010 - 2016-03-02 20:55
    + Freeze Info and Preview: Added the command to the context menu of the 
      image preview in IP and PP.
    * Status Bar: Now right-click pops the same menu as the Toggle Info Panel 
      button on the Status Bar.
      Before, right-click did something really strange and disturbing: Last 
      Size/Minimize Info Panel (or show Info Panel if hidden).
    ! Preview Pane: Did not preview the targets of LNK files. Fixed.

v16.30.0011 - 2016-03-03 13:22
    * Toolbar: New icon for "Show Catalog".
    - Toolbar: Removed the "Preview" button.
    * Floating Preview: From now on, files of the "Text" category are previewed 
      in the Floating Preview just as probably expected. Before, those files 
      were previewed in XY's native Quick File View.
      FYI, I personally find that the Quick File View does a slightly better job 
      here, but consistency won the bid in this case. And to force Quick File 
      View there is always Ctrl+Shift+Q.
    ! List: Dragging items by grabbing the icon did not work anymore since 
      probably v15.70.0131. Fixed.
      Note that you cannot grab items by the icon when "Configuration | Mouse 
      Down Blow Up | On file icons as well" is ticked, of course.
    ! Preview Pane: Fixed some more glitches.

v16.30.0012 - 2016-03-03 20:27
    * Menu File | Quick File View: Changed the default keyboard shortcut to 
      Ctrl+Q.
    - Menu File: Removed command "Preview" which opened the Preview tab on the 
      Info Panel (and the Panel itself if necessary). This IP preview is not as 
      important anymore given the many other previews we have now. It does not 
      merit a keyboard access anymore.
    - Removed the PreviewRawIfNoneBetter tweak (originally added 20031120). It 
      was not appropriate anymore.
    - Removed Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Mouse | Click on status bar 
      toggles info panel. The setting is kept as a tweak (ClickSBToggleIP).
    ! List: Files in C:\Windows\Fonts would not get the correct shell context 
      menu. Fixed.
    ! Preview Pane: Fixed some more glitches.

v16.30.0013 - 2016-03-04 17:57
    + SC get got a new named argument "listofcommands" which returns the list of 
      all commands.
      Syntax: get("listofcommands", [flags], [separator=CRLF])
        flags: (bit field)
          1 = Prepend Command IDs, separated by a TAB.
          2 = Append Keyboard Shortcuts, separated by a TAB.
        return:       The list of all commands.
      Examples:
        text get("listofcommands");
        text get("listofcommands", 3);
    + SC ThumbsConf enhanced. Added argument to customize the separator.
      Syntax: thumbsconf([settings="ShowCaption,ZoomToFill,Style,Padding"], [separator=","])
        separator: Separator between values (input and return), defaults to comma.
    % Raw View: Raw viewing files in ASCII mode got a lot faster for files with 
      long lines.
    * Quick File View: Now the top and bottom lines of binary files are shown. 
      Before, only the top was shown but sometimes also the bottom has some 
      interesting information.
    ! Scripting: If a function returned a parameter variable by reference, and 
      the passed variable was a global, the variable was not set on return. 
      Fixed.

    * EXIF date in Photo Data of Floating Preview and Tiles View now has seconds 
      resolution. Before, it was only minutes.
    ! Fixed a couple of bugs concerning the creation of new items in protected 
      locations.
    ! Attempted to fix a bug where a newly created item was listed two times.

    ! Scripting: A perm variable that was newly created in a user function was 
      not visible afterwards in the calling script. Fixed. This works now as 
      (probably) expected:

        function test() {
          perm $value = rand(0,1000);
          echo "Test set value to $value";
        }
        test(); echo "Script sees value of $value";

    ! Menu Edit | New Items: Fixed a Win10 specific bug where the 
      auto-inline-rename-box was opened for the wrong item.
    ! Opening multiple files by Enter did not work correctly in the Home 
      Edition since 20150419. Fixed.

    * MLS: Some controls in various places have been widened a bit to make space 
      for Russian and maybe other languages.
    ! Tiles Views: With file dates shown as age, the age shown in the tiles data 
      could get out of sync with reality after a list refresh. Fixed.
    ! Custom Copy: When the process errored out for whatever reason then 
      "Preserve Item Dates" did not preserve all dates of all created target

v16.40.0002 - 2016-03-12 12:56
  +++ Tree: Experimentally added a "Links" folder to the top of the tree. It's 
      functionally quite similar to the "Favorites" folder in Explorer and shows 
      the same items: all and only LNK files located in %userprofile%\Links 
      (any other things in this location are ignored).
      Like in Explorer the "Links" folder can feature LNKs to folders and also 
      LNKs to files:
      - On clicking a folder LNK you jump to that folder in the Tree.
      - On clicking a file LNK you jump the file's folder in the Tree, and then 
        to the file in the list (Explorer is different here: it will open the 
        file).
      More properties:
      - You can drop items on folder LNKs (but not on file LNKs).
      - You can drop items on the "Links" folder itself to add them as folder 
        LNK or file LNK.
      - These LNKs are not stored in the Mini Tree. So you either see all 
        ("Links" expanded) or none ("Links" collapsed). Mini Tree always starts 
        with the node collapsed. Might be changed later.
      Other Remarks:
      - Other than in Explorer, the "Links" folder is positioned below the "This 
        PC" node, not above it.
      - In Explorer you can manually sort the items. This is currently not 
        supported in XY.
      - There is no GUI toggle yet; the Links folder is currently always shown 
        in Maxi Tree. In Mini Tree you add by going to "Links" (might not work 
        in non-English Windows).
  +++ Tree: Now the special folder "Downloads" can be shown in the Tree right 
      under "This PC", just like "Desktop", "Documents", and "<User>".
    + Configuration | Tree and List | Items in Tree and List: Added option "Show 
      Documents folder". Tick it to show the special folder "Downloads" in the 
      folder tree.
      Note: This folder is available only from Vista onwards.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "INetCache" (#571). 
      Remnant of long gone days.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "Network Shortcuts" 
      (#572). Also pretty useless.
    - Favorites | Special System Folders: Removed item "Favoriten (All Users)" 
      (#562). Returned the same path as Favorites | Special System Folders | 
      Favoriten (#555), so it was useless (Win8.1, and probably later).
    * MLS: Internally updated to version 8.73.
      > TRANSLATORS: Please wait until Reference_8.73.lng is uploaded.
