[Feature] - You can launch an item as an administrator by holding Ctrl+Shift as you launch it (or adding /runasadmin to the result in alias list)

[BugFix] - When launch history reached max, new items were not being added.

[BugFix] - Changing skins preview while options dialog was open sometimes showed larger window than it should.

[BugFix] - Farr was showing more results than it should if an alias used the dosearch action.

[MinorFeature] - some options moved to new tabs in options.
[BugFix] - Moving and deleting items in one of the option lists could on rare occasions lead to an error when loading the ini file on next run (would report bad ini file and reset to defaults).
[BugFix] - When option to use numpad keys to launch was set, numpad keys could not be used for memo/html mode typing of numbers (which hindered their use in calculator plugins for example).
[MinorFeature] - Using the paste special alias command now pastes \r\n when the \n constant is found in the paste text.
[Feature] - You can now customize the result background color for the main results window.

Version 2.75.01 - July 26st, 2009

Version 2.71.01 - July 12th, 2009

[BugFix] Icons for shortcut links with custom icon settings were not being shown properly due to change in v2.70.01; hopefully now this is fixed and the previous x64 shortcut/icon fixup stuff is still working.

Version 2.70.01 - July 7th, 2009

[BugFix] Using the igo alias multiple times could result in an error about "Resource In Use" for users with old versions of Internet Explorer 6 installed.
[BugFix] Attempt to fix icon display and launching for some .LNK shortcuts (especially x64 programs on x64 OS); let's see if this breaks anything for other users.
[BugFix] Clarified the statusbar display during initial searching.
[MinorFeature] Program now checks file existence of previous launch history on startup which should avoid the delay on first search.

Version 2.68.01 - June 29th, 2009

[MinorFeature] Plugins can now call resolve:filename to have FARR fixup the location of a file if the drive letter has changed.
[MinorFeature] Toolbar buttons that try to perform a restartsearch by invoking the FindAndRunRobot.exe are now simply passed along directly to the running process.'
[MinorFeature] Toolbar button links are now resolved if they refer to files whose drive letters have changed (portable use).
[BugFix] Calling setsearch and window.show from a plugin was causing hidden window to appear but search text to be ignored. Hopefully the fix won't break anything -- let me know if it does.

[BugFix] On IE6 and earlier, repeated plugin calls that use html view (jscalc,czbpack plugins) could hang. Thanks JoTo!

[BugFix] Variables weren't being replaced in the #filecontents command.

Version 2.61.01 - May 25th, 2009

[BugFix] Autofixing of missing paths was changing root drive letters to a valid drive; now only more specific search paths which are found on moved drives are fixed.

[MajorFeature] - New UserVariables tab in options, allows aliases and plugins to read custom values set by user in this area. This is an easy way to provide options that are independent from the plugin and alias files, such as user logins, etc. Aliases and plugins can also create default values which will be initialized in the UserVariables tab on first use.

Version 2.30.01 - August 5th, 2008

Version 2.23.01 - July 19th, 2008

[MinorFeature] - Added alert alias launch string to help debugging aliases.

[BugFix] - The addnote alias was incorrectly referring to the helper addnote.exe file.

[MinorFeature] - A plugin can now ask FARR to resolve virtual folder paths.

[BugFix] - Statusbar message sometimes got stuck saying "Searching plugins.."

Version 2.18.01 - July 5th, 2008

[BugFix] - Mousewheel scrolling of html view from edit box was not always working; new method seems to be more reliable.

[BugFix] - The showfile launch command was not properly identifying html files as such.
[BugFix] - FARR was sometimes refusing to follow far:// links in a file url fetched by file://
[BugFix] - Create duplicate alias command was not working.
[BugFix] - Disabled items on result pop-up menu were sometimes not shown as disabled; they are now hidden.

[BugFix] - Tab autocomplete behavior has been improved.

Version 2.12.03 - June 25th, 2008

[Feature] - Redesigned the Options dialog to use an OptionTree.

[Feature] - Added option to choose whether to use the old or new launch method.

Version 2.11.01 - June 21st, 2008

[MinorFeature] - New aliases are now always added at the END of the list (makes it easier to find new ones; you can still drag+drop to re-order).
[Feature] - Changed the way partial alias matches are displayed and launched. If there is only one result in an alias, then its single result contents is displayed in results (icon and launch file), and it is treated exactly like a match on that contents item. If there are multiple results, the alias name is shown along with a hint about contents, but now the icon from the first result is used for the alias display. This also allows you to simply hit enter to launch a single-result alias is matched partially.

Version 2.10.01 - June 18th, 2008

[Feature] Disabled skinning of all but main form -- necessary change for now to support some html view browser activex dialogs.
[BugFix] Fixed htmlviewurl to decode urls that use %20% and similar encoding strings.
[Feature] - Created a new subdir under FARR dir called MyLocalData\ which is now the recommended place for installed aliases to save data that should not be overwritten on updates (the TiddlyWiki aliases use this directory for example).

[Feature] Mouse buttons for back,forward,refresh,stop now work properly in the embedded web browser.
[BugFix] Attempting to fix DLL error on windows shutdown.
[BugFix] Attempting to fix secondary DLL error on windows shutdown due to some plugins.

[Feature] Disabled ActiveX loading in the embedded web browser for security purposes. Unfortunately this prevents any flash pages from being displayed.

Version 2.05.01 - June 9th, 2008

[MinorFeature] Directory browsing now lists files in alphabetical order without differential scoring.
[BugFix] Files named ".BLAH" where showing as "BLAH" in results without the leading period.

[BugFix] Dragging and dropping an item in options tabs onto itself resulted in deletion of the item.
[BugFix] After doing explicit directory browsing, if you cleared search window the default results would show with full paths.

Added showfile command to show contents of a file into text memo results.
[bugfix] All keyword modifiers are now forced to lowercase since mixed case resulted in failure to match when searching.
You can now use PgUp, PgDn, ArrowUp, ArrowDn to scroll result memo view.
[bugfix] Using dashes in search should work now as long as it isn't of the form [SPACE]-WORD which will be treated like a work to exclude from search.
[bugfix] Virtual folder replacements now intelligently handle \ directory separators, so you can write for example %FARRDIR%\scripts or %FARRDIR%scripts. This bugfix also fixes the case where cpanel items were shown twice.
