What's new in the latest version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2.5 beta:
~~~~~~~~~
[!] DescEdit no longer supports versions of FAR earlier than 1.60.
[+] Now new descriptions are created (and archive descriptions are
    extracted) for all selected files, not only for the current
    file.
[+] Added possibility to copy and paste descriptions. This allows
    to duplicate the same description for multiple selected files.
[*] DescEdit now honors the FAR option "Set Hidden attribute to new
    description lists." (Requested by Sergeii Golovatov
    <sgol@ee.saog.ac.ru>).
[-] Fixed problems with showing the error message about incorrect
    path to MultiArc. (Reported by Sergeii Golovatov)
[-] Some strings were missing from the Russian .LNG file supplied
    with version 2.03. (Reported by Sergeii Golovatov)
[-] DescEdit couldn't locate the file description correctly if
    it was separated from the file name with the tab character.
    (Reported by Sergeii Golovatov)

2.03 beta:
~~~~~~~~~~
[!] The source code of the plugin is now available under LGPL.
[*] Now the plugin works correctly when MultiArc is located not in the
    adjacent directory but in some other place. A setting to explicitly
    specify the path to MultiArc has been added. If MultiArc is not
    found, an appropriate error message is shown.
    (Reported by Ivan Sintyurin, 2:5020/278.22)
[-] No error message was shown if the plugin failed to create or
    update the description file (for example, when it had the Read-only
    attribute set).
[+] New option "Prompt for description file". When this option is enabled
    and multiple description file names are specified in the
    configuration dialog, a menu is shown allowing to specify the
    description file to be used.

2.02 beta:
~~~~~~~~~~
[-] Fixed crash when setting the "Extract descriptions from archives"
    checkbox and trying to extract the description from an archive in the
    same FAR session. (Thanks to Ivan Sintyurin and others.)
[-] Fixed crash when no description files were specified in the plugin
    configuration. Now it is mandatory to specify at least one file.
[-] Fixed duplicate hotkeys in the Russian configuration dialog. (Reported
    by Ivan Sintyurin, 2:5020/278.22)
[*] Changed the defaults of some settings to more reasonable values.

2.01 beta:
~~~~~~~~~~
[-] Fixed crash when invoking DescEdit on a directory. (Reported by Slava
    Shalisko, 2:5030/682.12)

2.0 beta:
~~~~~~~~~
[!] The code of the plugin is rewritten using the FAR+Plus C++ classes
    library (soon to be released as a separate product)
[+] Added capability of extracting descriptions from archives.
[+] Now you can specify multiple files in the Description file field,
    separated with commas.
[-] Fixed a bug: if the files.bbs line for a file contained only the
    file name, a new description was created when DescEdit was invoked
    on this file. (Reported by Mike Lykov)

1.3 beta:
~~~~~~~~~
[*] Switched to Visual C++ 6.0.
[*] Now DescEdit works correctly with FAR 1.60. Under this version of
    FAR, it uses the new editor plugin API. Instead of adding
    descriptions to the description file on disk, it modifies the
    description file in memory after it is loaded into the editor.
[*] Now DescEdit updates the panels after changing descriptions.
[*] DescEdit now supports short file names. If the panel is set to
    short file names mode, or if the option "Always use short
    filenames" is set, DescEdit creates new descriptions with short
    filenames.
[*] DescEdit can be activated when multiple files are selected. It
    ignores the selection and always works with current file.
    (Suggested by Andrew Rogov, 2:5080/128.15)

1.2 beta:
~~~~~~~~~
[*] Switched from Borland C++ to Visual C++. The .DLL is now 1/3 smaller.
[*] Now DescEdit works correctly with FAR 1.52.
[*] Now, if after editing descriptions the description file has zero
    size, it is deleted. (Suggested by Alex Kapralov Jr., 2:5030/614)
[*] Added special tokens which can be used in default descriptions:
    %S - file size, %D - file date, %T - file time. (Suggested by Artyom
    Astafurov, 2:5030/654.666)
[-] Now DescEdit doesn't run when invoked from plugin panels. It didn't
    work correctly, anyway.

1.1 beta:
~~~~~~~~~
[-] Fixed a very stupid bug because of which the configuration dialog
    did not function.
[-] Now help is shown correctly when the console width is 80 characters.
[*] Now DescEdit understands filenames which are enclosed in quotes in
    files.bbs, and adds quotes for filenames containing spaces.
