What's new

v3.1.1 [Oct 2, 2013]
- Bug fix/change: Added pause-retry if the Windows shell denies access when overwriting files
- Bug fix: Log window was not recording error cause on individual items
- Bug fix: Auto "power off" not working intermittently
- Bug fix: Icons now sharper on tool windows under higher DPIs
- Change: Images now used for ads in free version
- Other minor updates & fixes

v2.1.0 [Oct 29, 2012]
The latest release (codenamed Perky Pike) is now offered as a "portable download" as well as a traditional installer based application. This means that you can copy it onto a USB stick and run it on any computer.
The other big change in this release is the ability update language files yourself. Previously, language translation text (such as Spanish text) was embedded in the application itself. Many users emailed to offer their services in helping to translate the user interface into other language. Sadly, it was not practical to maintain multiple language translations in this way. The alternative was to "open up" the language translation data, so that anyone can update or create new language packs themselves.
