List of changes (version 7.55 - 7.50a)

(17.06.10) Release Total Commander 7.55 final

• (16.06.10) Fixed: Internal unpack function didn't ask to overwrite target if the target directory allowed to write, but not to list the directory contents
• (16.06.10) Fixed: Do not use CONNECT_PROMPT option for UNC servers in the form \\server, only for shares
• (16.06.10) Fixed: If PromptForUser=1, do not call connect function if already connected (check via WNetGetUser)

(15.06.10) Release Total Commander 7.55 final (pre2)

• (15.06.10) Added: Call network connect function with CONNECT_PROMPT option to prompt for user name: wincmd.ini [Configuration] PromptForUser=1
• (15.06.10) Fixed: FTP: When "Send commands" also contained a CWD command, reconnecting to an ftp server via history went to that directory instead of the directory in the history
• (14.06.10) Fixed: Problems with tabs when an ftp connection was saved with "@" character in its name (TC tries to reconnect on each tab change)
• (13.06.10) Added: "cd" command in button bar and user menu: When parameter /user: is added without giving a user name, call connect function with CONNECT_PROMPT option to prompt for user name
• (13.06.10) Fixed: Look for key file also under %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista/7 if TC is installed in "Program files" dir (reason: some older mail programs may store the key there!)
• (13.06.10) Fixed: FTP Upload: File was appended instead of overwritten if the connection was lost before starting the transfer (e.g. timeout)

• (08.06.10) Fixed: With VistaDelete=1, it was no longer possible to move the delete process to the background
• (08.06.10) Fixed: FTP client: Don't show time for [..] updir item (was shown as 1.1.1601)

• (08.06.10) Fixed: FTP: Support HASH command also when neither SHA-1 nor MD5 is the default -> use OPTS HASH command to set used method

• (01.06.10) Added: HTML Help: All links to external web pages now open separately in the default browser
• (01.06.10) Fixed: Tree view in one of the two main panels: F7 created dir on Desktop instead of in the directory under the cursor (only works in real directories)
• (01.06.10) Fixed: Play just a default beep in Lister when user presses Ctrl+C and nothing is selected (Reason: Some translation programs seem to send Ctrl+C to Lister!)

• (30.05.10) Added: Support HASH command (MD5 and SHA-1 only) if announced via FEAT command
• (30.05.10) Fixed: Call Application.Terminate instead of Halt when user clicks on "No" in plugin exception dialog to avoid double error
• (30.05.10) Fixed: FTP: Make sure the reconnected path is the same as before when continuing a transfer

• (28.05.10) Added: Synchronize dirs: Allow to open "compare by content" via right click menu or Ctrl+F3 even when file exits on only one side (was requested to compare file with user-chosen other)

• (23.05.10) Fixed: Could not abort reading of extremely long directory via port connection (when server sends WAIT commands)
• (23.05.10) Fixed: TC hangs when trying to unpack 0 byte file created by packer izarcc (reason: compression is set to bzip2, but no data present)
• (21.05.10) Fixed: TcUsbRun.exe not adding menu items to insert notification dialog on Vista x64 -> need to write to 64-bit registry branch
• (21.05.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Main window could become accessible when synchronizing via port connection
• (21.05.10) Fixed: Synchronize dirs: Copying was aborted immediately when trying to sync after aborting compare by content (so some [?] results remained)

• (11.04.10) Fixed: Custom columns view: In search results view (after 'feed to listbox'), TC did not pass the DOS 8.3 names to non-Unicode plugins even if the files had Unicode names where Windows converted the accented chars to unaccented instead of ?
