Most of these changes are to the RichEditBox control, including new and enhanced properties and methods. Most of the RichEditBox changes are to handle the byte order mark (BOM) correctly for Unicode text files. The need for these changes is explained in http://hmgforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4031.
This change set also includes enhancements to GetFile() and PutFile(), which were discussed in http://hmgforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4009, and the CHM file help system, which was discussed in http://hmgforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3999.
Below is a condensed version of the change log in the root directory, Changes.txt:
