+[[PageOutline]]
+
+=== Find definition ===
+
+- Reworked and extended. After configuring the toolkit dir, the search for
+  mode C finds not only function prototypes, but also ''#defines'', ''structs''
+  and ''typedefs''.
+
+- Allow to specify the ''search type'': Find in includes, find in filemasks,
+  find in filemasks with grep.exe, find words in current file.
+  
+- Modes ''C'', ''E'' and ''REXX'' are currently supported.
+
+
+=== Keyword help ===
+
+- ''Reworked''.
+
+- Allow to specify a ''mode'' instead of extensions.
+
+
+=== Syntax expansion and coding styles ===
+
+Improvements mainly for ''mode C''.
+
+
+=== Load and highlight found strings ===
+
+- Many ''fixes''.
+
+- Added ''!GoToLineStr'' and ''!DialogLoadFile''.
+
+- The ''Ctrl key'' has to be pressed together with selecting buttons to open
+  files in a ''new window''.
+
+- Improved ''!ScrollAfterLocate''.
+
+
+=== Startup ===
+
+- Workaround added for ''improper arg parsing'' of the EPM executable. Now
+  the args from the loader are submitted when required.
+
+- Improved ''screen updates''.
+
+
+=== Edit ===
+
+- Added support for the ''Ctrl key'' to open a file in a new window.
+
+- Added ''@!FileList'' option instead of a filename. The contained lines in
+  such a file list are processed as if they were execued submitted to EPM
+  consecutively. That allows for submitting longer lists that otherwise won't
+  fit into a OS/2 command line (259 resp. 1023 chars).
+
+- Completely ''reworked''.
+
+- Fixed ''parsing'' of '=' char and quotes.
+
+
+=== Search dialog ===
+
+- Display changed search settings of the Preferences popup menu immediately
+  in the search dialog.
+
+- Select also those options properly that were added to Warp 4, e.g. ''t''
+  and ''b''.
+  
+- Added ''o'' = automatic case option to open the Search dialog with the
+  mode-dependent case value. Made this option default.
+
+- Split into ''Search dialog'' and ''Replace dialog''. The new Search
+  dialog is just a Replace dialog with emptied Replace field. It also
+  ensures that the Change actions are disabled, as long as the replace
+  field remains empty. Changed key definitions a bit for that.
+
+- After search, set the ''focus'' to the edit window to make its accelerator keys
+  work for !FindNext etc. Ctrl+F resp. Ctrl+R (or Alt+F6) can be used to set 
+  the focus to the search dialog.
+
+- Many more ''fixes''.
+
+
+=== !NepmdInfo ===
+
+- Display the data for the ''correct loader executable''.
+
+
+=== URLs ===
+
+- Improved URL recognition.
+
+
+=== Alt+1 ===
+
+- Added support for pressed ''Ctrl key''. Ctrl+Alt+1 now opens a file under
+  the cursor in a new window. Added the same for Ctrl+MB_1_double-click.
+
+- ''Reworked''.
+
+- Avoid searching an ''entire volume'' in some situations. The search in a
+  tree has now limited and variable depth, depending on the depth of the
+  start directory.
+
+
+=== !ShiftLeft and !ShiftRight ===
+
+- Avoid ''removing chars at the left''. Suggested by Lars Erdmann.
+
+- Handle ''block mark'' correctly.
+
+
+=== Menu ===
+
+- ''Configuration presets:'' Added checkmarks.
+
+- Improvements of the ''Preferences'' popup menu. 
+
+- Configure extended ''scroll position options''.
+
+- Configure Search dialog: Optionally automatically activate ''Marked area''
+  if a multi-line mark exists.
+
+
+=== Syntax highlighting ===
+
+- Renamed ''mode'' dir to ''hilte''. Renamed contained .ini files. Mode settings
+  were moved to NEPMD.INI.
+
+- Use ''red error messages'' in SHELL.
+
+
+=== Tags ===
+
+- Many ''fixes''.
+
+- ''Mode C'': Use a slower, sloppier method if the first pass hasn't found
+  anything.
+  
+- ''Mode E'' additions.
+
+
+=== !RecompileNew ===
+
+- Ignore all ''RCS keywords'' in file comparison.
+
+
+=== Assist ===
+
+- Support ''LaTeX environments''.
+
+- ''Many fixes''.
+
+- Improvements for ''mode E'' with parentheses.
+
+
+=== Spell checking ===
+
+- Many ''fixes''.
+
+
+=== Position restore ===
+
+- Added again many improvements to avoid ''unwanted scrolling''.
+
+- Added procs for pixel-wise scrolling.
+
+
+=== Tree listings ===
+
+- Improvements for the ''popup menu''.
+
+- Added ''list'' keyset.
+
+
+=== Mode ===
+
+- Saving files now saves the EPM.MODE EA, if mode determination for the new
+  name won't lead to the previous mode. That is useful for SHELL files.
+
+
+=== Format ===
+
+- Simplified soft wrap commands.
+
+
+=== Code ===
+
+- Reworked ''file switching'' and ring commands at file loading.
+
+- Changed ''!NepmdQueryConfigValue'' and ''!NepmdWriteConfigValue'' to handle
+  both string and binary values.
+  
+- Added ''!NepmdGetNextProfileApp'' and ''!NepmdGetNextProfileKey''.
+
+- Allow for ''aligning of messages in TMF files'' by stripping spaces.
+
+- Changed ''line comment string for TMF files'' to ";--" in column 1.
+
+- Reworked ''initialization''.
+
+- Make: Added support for 4os2 and touch again.
+
+- Make: Extended pseudo targets for .inf files.
+
+
+=== Installation ===
+
+- Mark the EPM executable mp unsave on ''SMP systems'' during installation.
+  That avoids crashes and display isses on scrolling. Standard EPM bug
+  reported by Andy Willis. Now EPM is usable on SMP systems again.
+
+- Added ''ArcaOS folder icons'' by David Graser and use them automatically
+  for ArcaOS.
+
+
+=== Settings ===
+
+- Allow for changing font size with Ctrl+- and Ctrl++.
+
+- ''Split mode settings'' into hilite and mode settings. Renamed mode
+  directory to hilite. Added !SetHighlightMode setting. It allows to change
+  the highlighting without changing the mode. That is used for files of mode
+  TEXT with filemasks .TREE* and .DOS*.
+
+- Added support for ''<mode>:<filemask>'' (instead of <mode>) setting keys.
+
+- Improved ''export'' of settings.
+
+- Improved ''import'' of settings from .cfg files. Now ''E-style escapes''
+  \### and \x## are supported. Lines may now be ''split''. If the first non-blank
+  chars of a line are '+++', the line is appended on import.
+
+- Improved support of ''EPMKWDS.*'' files for highlighting.
+
+- Moved ''mode settings'' from MODECFG.E and <mode>\DEFAULT.INI to
+  DEFAULTS.CFG (NEPMD.INI).
+
+- Improved templates to ease ''tool options configuration'', e.g. for wget.
+
+- Fixed setting source for ''virtual files''.
+
+- Reenabled ''empty values''. Fixes e.g. persistent switching to standard EPM
+  keyset.
