Version 2.0.beta.5 xx-11-2010
                         !Fixed: Broken columns menu
                         !Fixed: Do not crash when invoking context menu
                         !Fixed: Area of columns heads was too big.
                         +Added: Columns can be made invisible now (really!)
                         +Added: {Enter}|{Newline} triggers OK in AddManyPDFs
                                 dialog
                         +Added: Plugin script mechanism giving access to
                                 the complete PDFMergeNX environment. Scripts
                                 are executed within PDFMergeNX context,
                                 allowing the user to create powerful custom
                                 functionality. Requires documentation.
                         +Added: Let PDFTOPPM/NCONVERT optionally render 
                                 the preview files for PDF files (faster)
                                 (Previews for PS files are still rendered
                                 by GhostScript)
                         +Added: Text tool: Show embedded text of the current
                                 page in the default editor
                         +Added: Framework for supporting multiple paper 
                                 formats (incomplete)
                         +Added: Read and write current default paper size 
                                 of GhostScript
                         +Added: Edit-Button to manually edit ePDF profiles
                                 (enable support for features not supported
                                 by ePDF but supported by GhostScript)
                         +Added: Limited support plain text files via text2pdf
                                 (as suggested by Steven Levine). The only 
                                 option supported currently is paperformat
                         *Changed: "Slow" preview is antialiased now (nicer)
                         *Changed: Hardcoded A4 format replaced by new
                                   paper format variables
                         !Fixed: Toolbar buttons in the preview windows did 
                                 not draw properly when pressed
                         !Fixed: Switching ePDF profiles only worked if
                                 PDFMergeNX was restarted.
                         !Fixed: MPF-Export was broken in Beta.4
                         !Fixed: Another 2 issues with blanks in filenames
                                 (splitting and printing partly works now)
                         !Fixed: The D'n'D support for fonts was broken
                                 some time ago.
                         !Fixed: 2 typos ("otherweise" in IPB_ErasePDF(),
                                 "ERR_XPDFMissingComoponent" in _InitXPDF())
Version 2.0.beta.4 04-07-2007
                         +Added: Chosen bookmark option is saved accross 
                                 sessions
                         +Added: Extended MPF file format by also storing the
                                 mark/unmark status (plus add a reserved field
                                 for future bookmark level)
                         +Added: Detect if PDF file has bookmarks already
                                 (currently these are discarded!)
                         +Added: Create bookmarks by translating filename parts
                                 into bookmark heading using a translation file
                         +Added: Fix wrongly encoded Umlauts in PDFs metadata
                                 (German ones only for now, others will follow)
                         *Added: History added for mask to add many PDF files
                         *Added: Button to erase single items from the history 
                                 of PDF metadata
                         *Added: Implemented Undo for captured metadata (the
                                 previous behavior was odd because the abort
                                 button seemed to offer undo capabilities
                                 which simply did not exist).
                         *Changed: Streamlined and optimized history routines
                         *Changed: We detect nonexistent files on our own,
                                   this is much faster than letting GS or
                                   PDFInfo fall over and analyze their failure
                                   afterwards
                         *Changed: Move Bookmarks into the main menu
                         *Changed: Completely rewrote the automatic versus
                                   manual filename creation stuff
                         *Changed: Test the XPDF update to 3.02 level
                         *Changed: Temporary files are hidden during all
                                   load operations
                         *Changed: Duplicate history item detection is
                                   not case sensitive anymore
                         *Changed: Duplicate history item detection recognizes
                                   root directory regardsless of trailing 
                                   backslash
                         !Fixed: Several issues with blanks in source names
                         !Fixed: Several issues with blanks in target names
                         !Fixed: Bookmarks were not created if target path did
                                 not exist, so we create it before distilling
                         !Fixed: Removed "random" feature in _ExportMPF()
                         !Fixed: The "Broken" and "Bookmark" bitmaps in
                                 preview were not working.
                         !Fixed: The OK-button in the Add-Many dialog is 
                                 disabled as long there is no valid directory
                                 entered in the path field.
                         !Fixed: PDF metadata of "newly" discovered files
                                 are also refreshed (not only the thumbnail)
                         !Fixed: Current PDF metadata was not saved to
                                 history
                         !Fixed: Some printing fixes (still not working 
                                 properly)
                         !Fixed: If PDF files should be erased, remove garbage
                                 only if "Apply to all" is enabled.
Version 2.0.beta.3 19-01-2007
                         +Added: Option to store the target directory only
                                 in history
                         *Changed: Added a history to source directory and
                                   target directory
                                   
Version 2.0.beta.2 28-11-2006
                         *Changed: Behaviour to ensure the correct targetname
                                   is passed to ePDF (we "persuade" ePDF to 
                                   always use our PostScript filename)
                         !Fixed: Beta.1 was severely broken (name of ressource
                                 DLL still hardcoded in several places)
                         !Fixed: Beta.1 bug: Wrong ressource number for 
                                 "Erase PDF"
                         !Fixed: Beta.1 bug: Toggle preview button was 
                                 always initialized as on 
                         !Fixed: Beta.1 bug: Cancel button in PDF-Info
                                 dialogue was broken
                         !Fixed: PDMergeNX aborts properly when ePDF.INI
                                 is not found
                         !Workaround: Passing a "&" to ePDF is not possible
                                 - for the time being it is translated to "+"
Version 2.0.beta.1  20-11-2006
                         +Added: Started to implement the online help system
                                 (opens the appropriate pages in the manual,
                                 no separate help file planned).
                         +Added: The default font and color of the GUI may 
                                 be changed via D'n'D from the font palette. 
                                 All child windows inherit this font and color.
                         +Added: Capture metadata also became a toolbar
                                 button
                         +Added: ePDF distiller can also be configured
                                 in PDFMergeNX settings
                         +Added: IBM-858.UnicodeMap is now also on shown
                                 on the components page
                         +Added: Open ePDF properties from within PDFMergeNX
                         +Added: Option to automatically reorganize (sort, 
                                 remove duplicates) ePDF's history of PDF 
                                 metadata
                         *Changed: Moved all bitmaps into a separate ressource
                                   DLL (buttons may be customized now)
                         *Changed: Add support for both 96dpi and 120dpi
                                   systems (including a 96dpi ressource DLL)
                         *Changed: New components page using a container
                                   instead of lots of entryfields with a
                                   simple error indicator
                         !Fixed: PDFMergeNX does not care about / or \ when
                                 it is looking for the temporary directory
                         !Fixed: Missing hint on Down button
                         !Fixed: PATH_TO_XPDF did not add an eventually 
                                 missing trailing backslash
                         !Fixed: Flip button down bitmap resource number 
                                 was wrong
                         !Fixed: ZIP filelist was left over in temporary
                                 directory
Version 1.9.alpha.9 06-10-2006
                         +Added: Progress bar for "Add Many" dialogue
                         +Added: Another attempt to make PDFMergeNX more
                                 intelligent regarding the setup of the
                                 XPDF components.
                         +Added: Options to choose where to read .xpdfrc
                                 from (%HOME% or %PATH_TO_XPDF% or PDFMergeNX
                                 directory).
                         *Changed: Rearranged properties dialogue in a more
                                   logical way.
                         *Changed: PDFMergeNX adds a line of comment to
                                   .xpdfrc in case it has to recreate it.
                         *Changed: Rewrote font detection routine
                         *Changed: As JPEG2PS did not work as I had expected
                                   I switched to NCONVERT.EXE. Disadvantage:
                                   It is slower (2 conversions instead of 1).
                                   Advantage: Virtually all kinds of image 
                                   files are supported now (officially
                                   BMP GIF and PNG were added)
                         !Fixed: Some omissions in the german NLS file.
                         !Fixed: Opening the PDF info window of a PDF/PS
                                 files without fonts crashed PDFmergeNX
                         !Fixed: Now XPDF executables are (almost) always
                                 called with the -cfg parameter pointing to
                                 our .xpdfrc file in PATH_TO_XPDF
                                 Note: The current concept of the "Ignore 
                                 XPDF encoding" option is now nonsense
                         !Fixed: Mark/Unmark now enables/disables the "Merge"
                                 button correctly
                         !Fixed: The splitbar still could get into an 
                                 invisible area making the container 
                                 unusable.
                         !Fixed: Creation of local PATH_TO_XPDF did not work
Version 1.9.alpha.8 26-09-2006
                         +Added: Splitting of PS files (using psselect.exe
                                 from the PSUtils package) is now possible 
                                 without the workaround to produce a 
                                 temporary PDF file
                         +Added: Updated manual and added chapters about
                                 bookmarks and distiller options.
Version 1.9.alpha.7 13-09-2006
                         +Added: Flip PS page upside down
                         +Added: Read PS page size in points
                         +Added: Option to keep PS equivalents after
                                 PostScript conversion or splitting and
                                 delete original PDF files
                         +Added: Updated manual and added crucial chapter
                                 about possibly destructive import options.
                         *Changed: Empty manual chapters were removed, so 
                                   the user does not have to find out was 
                                   is there and what is missing.
Version 1.9.alpha.6 08-09-2006
                         +Added: Archiving functionality (pack all source
                                 files plus .mpf file into a ZIP archive)
                         +Added: "Add many PDFs" dialogue: Option to load only 
                                 files not already present in the file list
                         +Added: "Add many PDFs" dialogue options are stored
                                 across sessions
                         +Added: Updated German language file
