1700.0.1

Fix

Windows printing update: selecting a WSD printer device from the printer dialog now works properly. Previously, nothing was getting output at all.

1700.0.2

Fix

XTREE: the $RESETCFG command (selected from the context menu) was also making the row-index column visible. (This column maintains the original row numbers to allow row number indexing independent of sorting; normally it is hidden though as it has little or no meaning to the user.)

1700.0.3

Fix

Sorting: very large sorts were triggering a spurious error message and aborting. The problem was introduced around 6.5.1688; not noticed until now because it only affected sorts requiring more than the MALLOCLIMIT, which with today's copious memory availability, is mostly a non-issue.

1700.0.4

Fix

Windows high DPI refinement: when using the -dpm command line switch, moving the main window between monitors with different DPI values now works more smoothly, maintaining visual sizes of the various parts of the window better.

1700.0.5

Fix

Windows main window system font sizing refinement: some fonts (particulary Courier) were not always resizing properly as the main window size was changed, sometimes resulting in the first and last column(s) getting clipped. Note that we strongly recommend using another font for the main window system font, such as Lucida Console or Consolas, as they scale and generally appear better.
