Remarks

When this version is first launched, the old settings will be converted to the new settings. The old settings will remain, but selecting the Delete Old Settings command will clear the old settings at anytime later. This version might not be compatible with old plug-ins and macros. Specifically, plug-ins and macros that depend on the registry information listed in the Technical Information below might not work anymore. Please verify if this version works with your plug-ins and macros, and please let us know if there are any issues at the beta forum or by emails so that we can resolve those issues. If you are using Aye Wong’s MacroPopupMenu2, please download and run a new macro called PopupMacros.jsee. If you are using a macro to set the current macro temporarily, please rewrite it by using the new ExecuteMacro method (refer to the PopupMacros.jsee macro as a sample).
