How can I find all new config parameters of TC 9.50 beta?

[MaxX]

I have 9.22a final installed for now.
Does internal help contain ALL new features?
How can I find all of new config parameters of TC 9.50 beta? (Added after 9.22a final)

[sqa_wizard]

Just open "history.txt" file in an editor and search for lines with "Added:" and "wincmd.ini".

Another comfortable way I use: TC Changes Viewer
Just "Search - Find" with :

Code: Select all

Find what: "wincmd.ini"
 [x] Additions
 [x ]Match whole word only

Press "Find All" button

@ sqa_wizard: Thanks a lot for the tip! Nice tool, this TC Changes Viewer. Tell me: why did I not find it myself? No, don't tell me...

I agree, nice Tool - nice tip.
Thank you.

I'm getting the error for 'TC Changes Viewer':

Run-time error: '339'

Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not
correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

I've run it as an admin and as an elevated admin.
This exists: "C:\Program Files\Total Commander\HISTORY.TXT"
Is 'TC Changes Viewer' still viable?

Many thanks, Stephan2.
I got MSCOMCTL.OCX from nsp's link there
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10019
..that downloaded an exe.
His other link lower down downloaded an msi file that wouldn't respond to Ctrl PgDn in TC.

I copied (as an admin) the ocx file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ - then tried 'TC Changes Viewer' again, and it worked immediately.
All I had to do was fix the ultra-tiny font in Options, and it is now fine.
Thx.
