• ACPI shutdown could leave file systems dirty. Bug 1167 [sl]

• Splitview failed to update its display when new files or directories were added. Bug 2 [rw]

• Shift+MB1 on an item in the 'Open as' menu now sets the default view for files and folders. Bug 4 [rw]

• Splitview now supports all the standard settings for folder background bitmaps (i.e. Normal, Tiled, and Scaled). Bug 277 [rw]

• The 'Restart Desktop' dialog failed to save its settings. Bug 278 [rw]

• Selecting an item from the 'Sort' menu would sort the folder twice. Bug 473 [rw]

• In Tree view, 'Copy filename' would copy the wrong folder's name. Bug 494 [rw]

• The 'Open as' menu for disk objects sometimes showed an incorrect default view. Bug 1193 [rw]

• If the Desktop's default view were changed, it couldn't be reset to Icon view. [rw]

• The 'File attributes' submenu didn't work when accessed from a folder menubar's 'Selected' dropdown. [rw]

• 'File attributes' and 'Copy filename' now work for menus popped-up by other WPS add-ons (e.g. Object Desktop or Dragtext). [rw]

• Sorting non-file objects by a file-system criterion (e.g. size) left them in no order; they are now grouped and sorted by title. [rw]

• When sorting by extension, filenames that begin with a dot are now treated as names, not extensions. [rw]

• When a Splitview window first opened, subfolders in the Tree window failed to show a '+' next to them. [rw]

• To ease drag-and-drop in Splitview windows, you can now drop objects between existing objects; also, MB2-down no longer brings the window to the top. [rw]

• Splitview now displays folder menus and statusbars based on your global settings, and not the settings for the folder you've opened. [rw]

• Many items in Splitview's 'View' and 'Selected' menus didn't do anything; all items in the menubar should now work as expected. [rw]

• Trashcan can now be opened in Splitview. [rw]

• XFix has been thoroughly revised to make it safer and easier to use. File handles are no longer deleted immediately but are marked for later deletion. Handles that would become invalid if another handle is deleted are flagged so the problem can be corrected. A new "Auto-Protect" feature prevents you from accidentally deleting handles the WPS needs to operate. The help entries for xfix have also been rewritten.

• Numerous changes have been made to streamline the build system and fix minor errors. [rw]
