RELEASE NOTES:
--------------

Version 2.8.0 (2016-04-19)

NEW FEATURES:

- drag & drop support for the password boxes in the main window and in the "MP
  Password Generator" dialog, as well as for password lists: a drag & drop
  operation can be started by left-clicking on the password security bar below
  the password box and holding the mouse button; in the password list window,
  text can be directly dragged from the password list itself; the password(s)
  (or a selection thereof) may be dropped to any application registered as a
  drop target; conversely, the password boxes can act as drop targets and
  receive text from other applications
- new option "Position Automatically" in the "Quick Help" window (available
  in the context menu of the text box): if activated, the window is positioned
  below the "Quick Help (?)" button whenever it is made visible (this used to be
  the default setting); otherwise, the window position will not be changed, and
  will be saved in the configuration .ini file

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS:

- update check on start-up is executed in a separate thread (with low priority)
  rather than in the main thread to avoid latency times for the user
- new cube-shaped program icon, now also available in "extra large" size
  (256x256 pixels)
- activated "auto complete" feature in drop-down boxes in main window

FIXES:

- in the "Create Trigram File" dialog, clicking on the Browse button ("...")
  next to the source file box opened a "Save as" dialog rather than an "Open
  file" dialog
- fixed some issues concerning the "Always on Top" option
- "About" window was not sized correctly for higher DPI settings (>96 dpi)
- profiles deleted by the user were not removed from .ini file if settings were
  saved during runtime (before exit)
- fixed fatal error when user attempted to generate passwords with "Format
  password" checked but empty box
