[+] Bookmark properties / Send e-mail: E-Mail addresses can be selected from a pre-defined list
[+] Bookmark properties / Options: Bookmarks can optionally be opened in the "Text" tab or in the "Analysis" tab of the internal browser
[+] Bookmark properties / Actions/Alert on error: New option "Alert after X errors in a row"
[+] Check FTP folders: The directory listing is converted in a new format and the sub folders and files are sorted. This makes monitoring FTP folders much easier.
[+] Folder properties / Assign bookmark properties: New option "Apply settings to subfolders"
[+] Export/Import from Excel: New field wswid that is written when exporting bookmarks. This makes it now possible to export bookmarks, change the URL and re-import bookmarks. Before that change, the URL was used to identify a bookmark. If the field wswid is available, then this field is used to identify a bookmark.
[+] Export/Import from Excel: New fields, amongst other things fields to ignore updates via black/whitelist
[+] Send e-mails: Advanced rules for sending (optional, can be used as alternative to send e-mails after each check run)
[+] Send e-mails: Global black list to suppress e-mail sending. If a page contains a defined entry of the global black list, then an e-mail is not sent. For example if a page contains the text "could not connect to database".
[+] Send e-mails: New option "Send before other e-mails". With that option enabled, e-mails will be queued and sent before other e-mails.
[+] Send e-mails: BCC (can be entered in program configuration)
[+] Send e-mails: HTML e-mails optimized and size reduced
[+] Send e-mails: size reduction when sending e-mails in text format and changes attached
[+] Virtual folders: New variables {added_age_hours} and {added_age_days}. These variables can be used to create for example a virtual folder "Recently created" that shows all new bookmarks that were inserted within the last 5 hours.
[+] Scripts: New built-in function "FileExists"
[+] Internal Browser / Open with external program: Optional command line parameters can be specified
[+] Internal Browser / "Text" tab: The "Text" tab can now also show the new or old version of the checked page when they were opened in the "Page" tab before clicking the "Text" tab.

[+] If an AutoWatch countdown is active while the system turns into hibernation, WebSite-Watcher will wait at least 15 seconds before the next AutoWatch check is started after the system returns from hibernation. This gives Windows some time to re-establish network connections before the next AutoWatch check run is started after hibernation. The default value of 15 seconds can be customized via the program tweak "MinAutoWatchSecondsAfterHibernation".
[+] program configuration / new tweak "ReopenTabsAfterCrash=0": If WebSite-Watcher crashes, then the next start will show a dialog to re-open the last opened browser tabs. This tweak suppresses that dialog and don't re-open browser tabs.
[x] Bookmark properties / RSS / Ignore articles older than: The minimum number of days is now 1 (30 in previous versions)
[-] Some conflicts with "Open in external browser" (Shortcuts Ctrl+F11 and Ctrl+Shift+F11) fixed. By default, Ctrl+Shift+F11 is now Ctrl+Shift+0, if you have customized your shortcuts, then this change doesn't affect your shortcut configuration.
[-] WebSite-Watcher could (in rare cases) falsely report the error "incorrect file size" when checking web pages
[-] Some special Unicode characters were not decoded correctly
