* Renamed File Exist Rules menu entry to File Transfer Rules.

* Added New File Exist Rules Option "Request file size/date prior to transfer" for servers that support MLSD and their content doesn't update often. The size & date from the directory listing is used. Unchecking this option can give a speed increase provided you can achieve the desired results.

* Re-factored and replaced some internal text routines for an increased performance. This is most noticeable during directory listing and navigation.

* I've completed the task scheduler. In my opinion the scheduler is extremely robust, if FlashFXP crashes during a scheduled task then FlashFXP will automatically restart after 60 seconds and attempt the scheduled task again.

* Added file list right click "New File" feature to create a new local / remote file, the file is created and then open in the default application for that file type. The remote file created locally and then uploaded on edit using the remote editing behavior.

* Major changes to the Site Manager UI and some new features.
* The list command is now a drop down box, allowing the following selection, (auto detect), LIST, MLSD, STST -al.
* The character encoding now has a new "use global setting" selection.
* New Copy URL fields so you can copy a file url link as http://
* Selecting a group now allows you to reset the selected group totals.

I still have a few things to work out in the Site Manager, I'm debating a per site skip list.

* The queue has been adapted so that you can synchronize One Way or One Way w/ Delete, which would delete orphan files on the destination that don't exist on the source.

* In addition to defining selective transfer rules per scheduled task, you can also define them per queue item. So that different queue items within the queue can also have specific rules. This provides tons of flexibility.

* The error handling component has been updated to provide improved bug reports that will aid in fixing any issues that may come up.

... I'm sure there's more but right now I'm drawing a blank.

* Major overhaul of the Skip List, The new skiplist allows you to define a scope to apply the file pattern to. For example you can separately match the a file name, a folder name, a file path, a folder path.

This allows much more flexibility so you can skip a folder named ABC but allow a file named ABC. or skip all files/folders in a specific area. This makes it extremely easy to skip .svn folders.

The skiplist now consists of global and per site skiplists. This allows for much more flexibility. At one point "selective transfer rules" were used for this but now you can set it and forget it with personalized skip lists.

* Updated SFTP engine.

* Transformed a few more dialogs to the new interface style.

* Updated the background toolbar image list to include 43 different background designs.

* Many performance optimizations. Compared to 3.6 final the new version feels like I upgraded my computer hardware. Everything seems faster.

* Added new navigation button to toggle the treeview visibility, this button is now the left most button.

* Compared the Site Manager dialog improvements.

* I think the only thing we're missing now is user defined shortcut editor. How many of you would like to see this in the next release? I was going to wait, but if you can convince me....maybe

What else should I add into the next release? let me know.....
