+== 1.23 (r4724) to 1.24 (r4977) - Status: 2022-04-02 ==
+[[PageOutline]]
+
+
+=== Mode ===
+
+- Added mode ''ASSEMBLER''. (Since v1.22 mode settings are in
+  myepm\bin\NEPMD.INI, imported from bin\defaults.cfg, and highlighting
+  settings are in hilite\assembler.)
+
+- Added ''Shebangs'' and ''Signatures'' setting keys.
+
+- Added ''BIN'' as fallback mode beneath ''TEXT''. Added recognition of
+  binary files.
+
+- Added Shebangs for ''files without extension''.
+
+- Added signatures for the extensions ''inf'', ''hlp'' and ''ini''.
+
+- Added mode recognition for ''temp. epmkwds files'' and for installed
+  ''.hil files''.
+  
+
+=== Search ===
+
+- ''Completely reworked''.
+
+- Added ''synchronization'' between menu, dialog, Preferences menu and saved
+  last search arg.
+
+- Added option l for ''Loaded files''. That additional option is configurable
+  in the menu for temporary changes and in the Preferences menu for permanent
+  changes.
+
+- Allow for exclusion of ''literals'' (option ") and ''comments'' (option ;).
+  These additional options are configurable in the menu for temporary changes
+  and in the Preferences menu for permanent changes.
+
+- Added ''history''. The dialog can be opened via ''Search -> List history''.
+  It allows for restore previous search args and for exchange the search and
+  replace entries of the Search dialog.
+
+
+=== Shell files ===
+
+- ''Completely reworked''.
+
+- The command history can be found either by typing the Newline key at an
+  empty prompt or in the ''Bookmark'' dialog.
+
+- Hints: To navigate through previous shell commands, use Ctrl+Up and
+  Ctrl+Down. To enter a command to the shell, type it at any prompt and
+  press the Newline key. For a previous prompt, the old one is restored.
+  
+- Hint: To change a directory alternatively to cd (or cdd), support for
+  folder drag and drop was added.
+
+- Allow for ''quiet'' shell start per option: ''Run -> Configure command
+  shells''.
+
+- ''Fixed save'' and ''ask on close'' of modified shell files.
+
+- Improved ''restore'' of shell files and fixed line deletion.
+
+- Added extracting of the shell ''environment''. An .env file is now saved
+  with the shell file. A shell file is now completely restored to continue
+  where it ended before. That applies also for shell files on Restart, if
+  configured.
+
+- ''Discard changes'' and ''Auto-save changes on Restart'' can now be
+  configured via ''Preferences -> Save and Restore -> Read-only and modified''.
+
+- The ''prompt'' can now be ''configured'' via setting key. (Use export and
+  import for that.) After shell start, the PROMPT environment variable can
+  be used for that.
+  
+- The ''Shell'' toolbar button opens now a shell in a new window if the
+  ''Ctrl'' key was pressed.
+
+
+=== Save ===
+
+- ''Completely reworked''.
+
+- Fixed ''longname'', ''FAT'' and ''non-FAT'' handling.
+
+- Fixed ''mode redetermination'' for !SaveAs.
+
+
+=== Discard changes and .modify ===
+
+- Reworked. Configurable via ''Preferences -> Save and Restore -> Read-only
+  and modified''.
+
+
+=== Menu ===
+
+- ''Eased operation'' by avoiding many submenus of menu items, mainly in the
+  ''Preferences'' popup menu.
+  
+- Update ''encoding'' menu item texts immediately.
+
+
+=== Code ===
+
+- Added ''!NepmdReadFilePart''.
+
+- Added ''!NepmdSaveOld'' from the samples.
+
+- Reduced ''string area size'' of EPM.EX and NEWMENU.EX. The limit of 64 KB
+  was almost reached.
+
+
+=== Make ===
+
+- Added ''lib'' and ''runlib'' pseudo targets.
+
+- Fixed ''make doc''.
+
+
+=== File lists ===
+
+- ''Fixed conversion'' of old (up to 1.22) ''history lists'' to the new format
+  and activated this on installation. (This won't process if keys with the
+  newer format already exist.)
+
+- ''Fixed unwanted closing'' of epm /m windows if ''Auto-save last rings'' is
+  active.
+
+- Improved recognition of ''*.epm text files'' to distinguish them from
+  file lists.
+
+
+=== Find definition ===
+
+- ''Fixed'' parsing of Grep output for ''mode E''.
+
+- Fixed an ''endless loop''.
+
+- If ''Find in filemasks with grep.exe'' is selected (maybe per default) and
+  grep.exe wasn't found, switch to ''Find in filemasks''.
+
+
+=== Alt_1 ===
+
+- Fixed processing for ''modes without !SearchPath'' set.
+
+
+=== Settings ===
+
+- Reenabled settings ''import''. It was erroneously disabled in 1.23.
+
+- Added workarounds for font size changes via Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to avoid an
+  EPM bug.
+
+
+=== Startup and Edit ===
+
+- Improved ''stability on Restart''.
+
+- On ''crash during Restart'', a message box pops up to allow for ''loading
+  the last rings'' again.
+
+- Improved ''stability on Restore'' by better handling of the automatically
+  loaded file.
+
+- The workaround for ''wrong arg parsing'' of the EPM executable needed
+  another change. Due to timing issues, previously processed args were passed
+  instead in rare cases.
+  
+- Removed debug ''speaker beeps'' on args mismatch.
+
+- On trying to load the ''file on top'' again, the loaded file is now
+  ''refreshed''.
+  
+- Retrieve EPM ''windows outside of the current desktop''.
+
+
+=== Miscellaneous ===
+
+- More workarounds for ''unwanted focus change''.
+
+- More workarounds for ''unwanted scrolling''.
+
+- More fixes for ''Undo''.
+
+- Fixed an endless loop in ''C syntax expansion''.
+
+- Extended workaround for ''empty !RingMore dialog''.
+
+- Fixed ''directories'' configuration.
+
+- Fixed previously ''exchanged encoding menu items''.
