Where can we find a file "What's new in 6.20"?

Although reading through the beta releases will give you the most in-depth list of all the changes since 6.10.0000

hmm no that's only one thing new in 6.20 actually. You'll find a little recap here of the main changes, followed by the full in-depth beta history if you want to know it all (yes, it is a long list

)

I agree with Adequat, people looking into the new XYplorer release would like to know "what's new" (in other words why should i download this new version).
While I am sure its around somewhere, its not very obviously visible. I would expect it to be near the download link.

I always put a short list in the History.txt file that can be downloaded.

Code: Select all

v6.20.0000 - 14.08.07 09:15
    = NEW OFFICIAL RELEASE. Main changes since last release:
  +++ The Catalog now is a full-blown "Open-With-Panel" where you can 
      one-click-open any files with any application without changing or 
      referring to the registry.
  +++ Image Preview: now you choose between Speed and High Quality Image 
      Resampling.
  +++ Easily select between three different search modes: Standard, 
      Boolean, Regular Expression.
  +++ New "Len" column shows the length in characters of each filename: 
      easily spot over-long filenames that might make trouble when burning 
      CD-ROMs.
  +++ New toolbar button to "Hide Folders in List". For those moments, 
      when you just need to see the files.
  +++ Customizable keyboard shortcuts for touching filestamps: Set 
      Modified/Created/Accessed Date to Now.
  +++ Instant preview of Office 2007 file types.
  +++ Notable general performance speedup.

I agree that it would not harm to have sth like this on the main website, too. I'll add that... thanks for a good idea and more work to do!

Very nice

..but I have to be a PITA I guess, so a few remarks:
- I would add something on the main page of the site too, even as little as a link to this new page on the version number.
- Either each time, or only once after the first "What's new?" title, I think you should really mention that those are are only the "highlights" from last version, and maybe link to the full history. Because, as you know, there much more each time than those changes you listed, and you should state that clearly I think.

Agreed & done.

Looks good! I think that was something that should have been done before, and may help with marketing as some users only use "official" vers and thus want to know how product has been updated...

Nice.
