   • TimeSpanFromStr: may incorrectly parse string if without days.
   • Process triggers: if 'Already running' selected, the macro runs before initializing QM extensions and user startup functions.
   • Keyboard triggers: don't work repeated triggers with modifier keys.
   • And more.
7. What can be incompatible with previous versions:
   • If you have functions with same names as the new functions, will need to rename or delete them.

Compatibility with previous Quick Macros versions

1. Unicode. If QM is running in ANSI mode, you will not have compatibility problems. It is running in ANSI mode if you upgraded QM from an older version. It is running in Unicode mode if you did not use QM before, or uninstalled it before installing new version. You can switch mode in Options. It is recommended to use Unicode. After switching to Unicode mode, you should convert your old macros that contain international characters. The Convert button helps you to do it. Read more.
2. This QM version does not run on Windows 98/Me. Exe files created with it too.
3. QM user interface. Changed some control types, ids, positions, etc. If you have macros that interact with them, they may stop working. Changed code editor control type. Read more here.
4. Added some QM extensions that previously were available in the forum. You should delete downloaded extensions. While not deleted, QM shows warnings.
5. QM item icons. Everything will work but some icons in menus, toolbars and dialogs will be different than before. Read more.
6. Updated WINAPI reference file. Removed some rarely used declarations.
7. New functions. If you have functions with same names, rename them. On name conflicts QM shows warnings or errors in output.
8. Changed behavior of some functions in some specific cases. With rget, rset, slightly changed behavior when a data type is explicitly specified. With str.escape, flag 2 now is ignored. With out, if text begins with <>, it is interpreted as containing formatting tags (colors, links, etc), and found tags are removed.
9. win, child, acc, htm. Changed search order. Now at first retrieves visible windows/controls, then hidden. win and child may find another control if matchindex is specified. Retrieved arrays of handles also may be ordered differently. This may happen only if some of matching windows or controls are hidden. Use window/control finder dialogs to fix the code.
10. Now uses different way to get paths of special folders. Normally this should not change anything, but if previously some paths were incorrect or could not be retrieved, now they will be correct.

QM 2.2.1 (January 1, 2008)

Exact version: 2.2.1.5

Summary: Many bug fixes. New functions, new options in existing functions. Better reliability of keyboard and clipboard commands.

1. Fixed 2.2.0 version bug: QM does not run on Windows XP without SP. QM-created exe files too.

26. Log loaded dlls and type libraries.
27. The Find dialog supports AND and OR.
28. Changed double to string conversion (str operator = and other operators). Now the string never has decimal point at the end. The string can have more digits (better precision). The exponent sign is uppercase. The exponent does not include 0 at the beginning. If previously the string could look like 1.e+016, now it looks like 1E+16.
29. Toolbars: /bsiz works with all styles, and added minwidth.
30. Other bug fixes and optimizations.

QM 2.2.0 (June 25, 2007)

Exact version 2.2.0.11

Summary: Runs well on Windows Vista. New winapiqm.txt. Macros can run in separate process. New functions, enhancements and new options in existing functions and other features.

1. QM now is compatible with Windows Vista, 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Read about it here. Also you may want to read about creating exe files for Vista.
2. Updated winapiqm.txt reference file (WINAPI). Also, in the QM forum you can find and download another reference file that contains more declarations.
3. Enhancements related to reference files: 1. Not error to explicitly declare something that is implicitly declared using a reference file. 2. Removed "optional" settings from Options (now everything from WINAPI is always available). 3. Reduced memory usage. 4. Can include other files. 5. Can log extracted declarations.
4. Enhancements related to user-defined types: 1. Anonymous types within types. 2. Base type without member name.
5. Enhancements related to keyboard and mouse triggers: 1. Can be used low level hooks (optionally), which make triggers more reliable and allow to use system hot keys. 2. A trigger key can be pressed repeatedly without releasing modifier keys.
6. New functions: interface IStringMap, RunConsole, lock, str.dospath, str.addline, ReceiveMail, #exe addfile, ExeExtractFile, ExeGetResourceData, variable _win64.
7. More options in: Dir.GetSize (can get folder size), str.findreplace (replace null char), mes (Vista shield icon), opt keymark, rset (delete key if empty), web, wait (multiple handles), shutdown (thread handle/id), str.expandpath (unexpand), EnumQmThreads (thread name), OnScreenDisplay (wrap), newitem (encrypted), run (run as admin), _getactive (ROT moniker), toolbar hook (WM_INITDIALOG), Dir.FileName (DOS format), ShutDownProcess, EnumProcessesEx, win (matchindex, exename), child (matchindex), acc (matchindex).
8. Small changes in: rget (ini files), wait x H (returns -1 on error), Speak (changed implementation; some changes in behavior with flag 2), wintest (class is not required for hidden windows).
9. Several new dll functions exported by qm.exe.
10. Macro and function properties: "Run in separate process", "Run As".
11. Popup menus: Expandable file folders, bitmaps and more.
12. Special folders: 1. Can be used CSIDL constants. 2. Environment variables are expanded recursively.
13. Better supports ActiveX controls. In the Type Libraries dialog added Controls view.
14. Make exe: 1. Can be specified custom manifest file. 2. The macro can be in a folder or not. 3. Adding files to exe (see #exe addfile, ExeExtractFile, ExeGetResourceData).
15. For compatibility with Windows Vista and some programs, key and clipboard commands now use different synchronization methods than in previous versions. In most cases, these commands will work as well as previously, but some macros may require some corrections (wait, err). Also, after copy/paste commands, the clipboard contents now is restored immediately.
16. Pasting (outp and str.setsel) now works in console windows too.
17. These features are no longer supported in exe: wait x KF (wait for key-down and eat), share (shared memory). They can be used only in QM. In exe they would cost too much, especially on Windows Vista and 64-bit.
18. These features are now supported in exe: shutdown -1 (exit exe), Exit (exit exe). Fixed shutdown -7 bug.
19. In exe, all text and function names now are encrypted.
20. Now maximal text length is 4 MB for menus, toolbars and TS menus. For other items it remains 32 KB.
21. A global hotkey to show Threads dialog can be specified in Options.
22. Menu Edit -> Wrap Lines.
23. Options -> Files -> Always Add These Shared Files.
24. Toolbars: 1. Some changes in hook functions (WM_INITDIALOG, etc). 2. New toolbar options /glass, /font, 1-pixel border. 3. Setting text color does not disable visual styles. 4. If you use GetWindow or other Windows API function to get toolbar owner window, you should change it to GetToolbarOwner, because GetWindow will return incorrect result.
25. File triggers: DOS filenames are no longer returned for Added and Modified events. You should modify Include/Exclude fields that contain DOS filenames.
26. Other enhancements and bug fixes.

20. QM now works better on computers with multiple user accounts. QM now is installed for all user accounts. The default place where QM now saves various files is the My QM folder in My Documents (previously - QM folder), that is, separate files for each user. Some files are moved from QM folder to My QM folder.
21. My Macros window. View all triggers in one list.
22. Menu File -> Sort.
23. Windows XP visual styles (themes) applied. Possible problems
    In user-defined dialogs (created in QM Dialog Editor), lines become invisible. To make them visible, replace them with Static controls with SS_ETCHEDHORZ or SS_ETCHEDVERT style. To do it quickly, use Find dialog. Check Regexp. In first edit field enter ^( \d+ )Button 0x\d+7 0x\d+( .+ ""\r\n). In second edit field enter $1Static 0x54000010 0x20004$2 (for horizontal lines) or $1Static 0x54000011 0x20004$2 (for vertical lines). Replace all found lines in dialog definitions.
