+== 1.20 (r3543) to 1.21 (r3918) -- Status: 2020-03-16 ==
+[[PageOutline]]
+
+=== Status bar ===
+
+- Added special color for ''read-only files''.
+
+
+=== Installation ===
+
+- ''Moved EPMBBS files'' to samples package.
+
+- ''Renamed package ids''. The installation works with old and new id names.
+  Old id names were changed on the first start now, when the WarpIN database
+  is unlocked.
+
+- Use ''rwIni'' functions, if installed and if possible.
+
+- Added deletion of ''myepm folder icon EAs'' and avoided its setting.
+
+- Fixed update behavior for ''object titles''.
+
+
+=== Search dialog ===
+
+- Enabled ''T'' and ''B'' settings.
+
+- Changed the ''font'' of both entry fields to that of the edit window.
+
+- If a mark exists in current file, activate ''Marked area'' and ''Start at
+  top''. Made that configurable by Preferences -> Appearance -> Windows and
+  dialogs -> Search dialog.
+
+- Improved ''focus'', e.g. when switching EPM windows while the Search dialog is
+  on top.
+
+- Many more fixes.
+
+
+=== Settings ===
+
+- Added setting for ''mode-specific'' or general ''tabs and margins''.
+
+- ''Replaced all remaining EPM settings'' with NEPMD settings, including
+  configurable cursor and pointer styles.
+
+
+=== Cursor highlighting ===
+
+- Added ''cursor highlighting'' for many cases.
+
+
+=== Window and object functions ===
+
+- Added procs as ''wrappers for C functions''.
+
+- ''Replaced REXX commands'' with that.
+
+
+=== Popup menu ===
+
+- Open ''popup menu at the cursor position'' with Alt+Sh+F10.
+
+
+=== Environment extension ===
+
+- Fixed ''BeginLIBPATH ''handling. Now it can be extended by the pseudo env var
+  within a command window.
+
+
+=== Config file ===
+
+- Remove ''multiple spaces'' within the value part, except for color defs.
+
+
+=== File ===
+
+- Path-changing commands now change to the root dir of a drive before
+  changing that drive. That ''keeps the previous dirs on previous drives
+  unlocked'', so that it can be deleted or renamed. Previously the old dir
+  was locked until EPM was closed.
+
+
+=== Unwanted scrolling ===
+
+- Added ''workaround'' for more cases.
+
+- Fixed ''small vertical window scrolling'' on position restore. Now the scroll
+  position is saved and restored exactly, including fractions of font
+  heights.
+
+
+=== Search ===
+
+- Fixed ''search direction'' processing.
+
+
+=== General ===
+
+- Fixed handling of ''double quotes'' for defcs and defprocs.
+
+- Allow for ''special chars in filenames'' by adding missing enquoting.
+
+
+=== !RecompileNew ===
+
+- Many ''improvements'', with checking for different .E files and faster .E
+  file processing, except for the initial check.
+
+- Added new markers: 'I' = information, '=' = equal .E file.
+
+- Now user .E files, marked with '=', can be safely deleted.
+
+- At ''first startup'', if user .EX files were found, ask to execute
+  !RecompileNew.
+
+- Added line-wise comparison with diff.exe for source files, if a md5
+  check has found different files. That allows for ignoring ''$Id $'' (RCS
+  keyword) lines, as being used in the source files.
+
+
+=== !NepmdInfo ===
+
+- Added ''version check via version.cfg'' on the netlabs server.
+
+- Improved ''processing'', added missing select event.
+
+
+=== EAs ===
+
+- ''Preserve EAs and datetimes'' for Move and Encode.
+
+
+=== Open URLs ===
+
+- Improved ''dialog actions''.
+
+- Changed to use a ''temporary WPS object''. This supports long URLs.
+
+
+=== !DosUtil ===
+
+- Added functions for ''datetime difference'' calculation and validation.
+
+
+=== Keys ===
+
+- ''Disabled !RefreshMenu'' in !SwitchKeyset, if not required. That results in a
+  speed improvement on file switching. Unfortunately it's still required
+  for different keysets (e.g. for SHELL files) to keep the mnemonics in the
+  menu right.
+
+
+=== Assist ===
+
+- Made scanning for multi-line comments on cursor movement ''much faster''.
+  A simpler method is used to bypass the MLC array creation. That array
+  is used, if it exists, what is the fastest method. Now ''stuttering
+  cursor scrolling'' shouldn't happen anymore.
+
+- LocateMLC: Replaced previous complex implementation, that already was a
+  binary search, by a clean ''binary search''. This seems to be a bit faster
+  again.
+
+- Improvements for ''literals''.
+
+- Fixed ''cursor movement'' when repeatfind is used.
+
+- Fixed ''length of highlighted string'' for !MatchFindOnMove.
+
+
+=== Alt+1 ===
+
+- Fixed Alt+1 for <filespec>:<linenum> <string containing a : (colon)>. Now
+  linenum is correctly parsed.
+
+- Added <filespec>:<"search word"> or <filespec>:<searchword>, with
+  allowing for cursor placement on <searchword>.
+
+
+=== Preferences menu ===
+
+- Changed ''Configuration presets'' to ''Basic configuration''.
+
+- Added sections ''Presets'' and ''Main items''. Added items to it to
+  control main settings more easily and to give visual feedback on
+  switching presets.
+
+- Added ''Edit window'' -> ''Click only gives focus'' as replacement for the
+  const.
+
+
+=== Menu ===
+
+- Avoid menu item 'Restore file...' for non-backup .Tree_Dir files.
+
+- Disabled common popup menu items for .Tree and .Tree_Dir files.
+  Previously, the Alt+1 menu item appeared twice and !TagScan didn't
+  make sense for these files.
+
+- Fixed disabling for advanced marking menu items.
+
+- ''!PopupMenuItemsOutsideMark'': Added diabling of advanced menu items
+  if CUA marking is active.
+
+- Fixed ''menu item id exhaustion'' after !RefreshMenu.
+
+
+=== Backup ===
+
+- Improved Backup to ''avoid backup file creation'' when useless.
+
+- Added ''Restore'' and ''Compare'' commands.
+
+- Added ''Restore'' and ''Compare'' menu item to popup menu for .Tree files.
+
+- Added EAs ''EPM.PREVPATH'' and ''EPM.BACKUPDATETIME'' for later file
+  restore and later cleanup of backup directory.
+
+- Fixed ''.Tree'' popup menu behavior to take the line under the mouse
+  pointer.
+
+- Added ''automatic mode selection'' for backup files on load via EA
+  recognizing. The previous mode is now saved as EA EPM.PREVMODE.
+
+- Changed getting ''mode for backup files'' without requiring
+  EPM.PREVMODE EAs. It is now checked if a tilde and a number is
+  appended.
+
+- Fixed processing of ''virtual files''.
+
+
+=== Move expression ===
+
+- Extended to ''process mark'' if it exists.
+
+- Improved ''string determination''.
+
+
+=== Modes ===
+
+- ''Syntax expansion'': Completely reworked ''C'' mode, many improvements for
+  when coding styles have changed. Added CFunctionCodeStyle.
+
+- ''SCRIPT'': Fixed highlighting definitions.
+
+- ''PHP'': Improvements.
+
+- ''IPF'': Find headings spanned over multiple lines.
+
+- ''PASCAL'': Several improvements.
+
+- ''SHELL'', ''.DOS'', ''.Tree'': Made 'Directory of' line editable for DIR
+  commands, like for '.DOS dir' files.
+
+- ''SHELL'', ''.DOS'', ''.Tree'': Control the cursor position.
+
+- ''SHELL'', ''.DOS'', ''.Tree'': Use SHELL highlighting for .DOS files.
+
+- ''All modes'': Replaced LINECOMMENTOVERRIDEMULTI by MULTILINECOMMENTENDPRIO.
+  This is only used for TeX's pseudo-MLC env \iffalse ... \fi.
+
+- ''Tags'': Fixes for ''TeX'' and ''LaTeX'' commands.
+
+- ''Assist'': Find more ''TeX'' keywords.
+
+- ''TEX'': Added verbatim environment to the multi-line commands.
+
+- ''Syntax expansion'': Fixes for ''REXX''.
+
+- ''FindDef:'' Added mode REXX.
+
+- ''REXX'': Improved bracket matching when pressing !BackSpace repeatedly.
+
+- ''REXX'': Added rwIni keywords.
+
+
+=== File and Mode settings ===
+
+- Completely reworked, with calls to ''generic functions''.
+
+- Fixes for ''Coding style settings''.
+
+- Added ''menu item''.
+
+
+=== Format submenu ===
+
+- Split ''Line breaks'' into ''Line ends'' and ''Line wraps''.
+
+- Added menu items for ''DOS and Unix line ends''.
+
+
+=== Encoding ===
+
+- Added new commands.
+
+- Completely reworked ''encoding menu items''. That includes a predefined list,
+  similar to the spell-check menu items and many helpful menu items and
+  options.
+
+
+=== Mouse ===
+
+- Improved ''double click'' behavior.
+
+
+=== Attributes ===
+
+- Added workaround to avoid access to the unwanted first ''undo state'' after
+  loading a file with attribute EAs.
+
+
+=== Bookmarks ===
+
+- Added ''compatibility'' for old bookmark commands. That makes the toolbar
+  commands from MAKEACTN.E work again.
+
+- Changed ''bookmarks dialog'' to display column instead of index.
+
+- Extended ''bookmarks dialog'' to optionally add EPM.POS, undo and stack
+  positions. This behavior can be toggled via dialog button and is saved
+  per window non-permanently.
+
+
+=== Spell-check dictionaries ===
+
+- Catch errors of ''wget'' and ''unzip'' on download.
+
+- ''Dialog'' improvements.
+
+
+=== Associations ===
+
+- Added fix for user-defined groups of associations.
+
+
+=== Compile ===
+
+- Removed ''double call of wis\makefile'' in many cases. (There exist still
+  a few.)
+
+- Fixed ''backslash handling'' for C-included files by htext files.
+
+- Changed ''clean'' makefile target to clean both debug and release, as
+  documented in MAKEFILE.INF.
