-    * Bug fix: Search dialogs were sometime incorrectly placed. +
-  * Authentication banner, if any, is shown during authentication. +
-  * New functions for queue management: //Suspend//, //Resume//, //Suspend All// and //Resume All//. +
-  * Unix-style approach to Daylight saving time (client does adjustment) is made default. This can affect interpretation of timestamps of your files. Use function //[[task_synchronize_full|Synchronize]]// with option //[[ui_synchronize#synchronize_options|Synchronize timestamps only, not files]]// to resolve it. +
-  * Button //Calculate// on Properties dialog calculates also total number of files/directories/symlinks. The button newly also does not show up, when all selected directories are actually symlinks. +
-  * Several changes to synchronization: +
-    * Added new option //Selected files only// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. It limits the synchronisation to files selected in either panel only. +
-    * Removed option //No confirmations// for functions //Synchronize// and //Keep Remote Directory Up To Date//. Confirmations are now disabled always. +
-    * Directory number limit for function //Keep remote directory up to date// can be overruled. +

-    * New scripting options ''include'' and ''exclude'' to set include/exclude masks. Only one of the two can be set at a time. +
-    * ''Ctrl+C'' during script file processing breaks whole script, not only current command. +
-    * During synchronisation names of directories where change happened are displayed only. +
-    * Bug fix: Script file loading errors were displayed in message box instead of console. +

-  * New file selection command //Restore Selection// which restores file selection before last file operation. +
-  * Characters not allowed in Windows file names are now replaced by ''%XX'' (where ''XX'' is hexadecimal representation of character ASCII code), instead of underscore (''_''). +
-  * Increased chance that files information on overwrite confirmation message are properly aligned (English version only). +
-  * New optional file selection mode in Norton Commander interface, where mouse behaves as in Windows Explorer and keyboard behaves as in Norton Commander. +
-  * Files dropped on newly created desktop icons, associated with particular stored session, are uploaded. +
-  * File mask ending with slash matches directories only. This is particularly useful for include mask to match any directories using mask ''*/''. +
-  * When appending (including alternative resume), the target file is not deleted, when transfer is canceled by user. +
-  * Custom command parameters are escaped for remote commands. For ''!?prompt[\]?default!'' pattern, escaping can be avoided using optional slash (''\''). +
-  * Added hint links to several dialogs. They open popup hint describing syntax of masks and custom command patterns. +
-  * About dialog redesigned. URL links can receive focus, to allow opening the URL using keyboard. Additional URL link can be associated with translation. +
-  * Confirmation of overwritting read-only files can be suppressed the same way as overwrite confirmation, i.e. by disabling confirmation for synchronization, background transfers or in script. +
-  * When saving location profile, existing profile can be overwritten (names of existing profiles are provided for selection in drop down menu), giving limited ability to edit profiles. +
-  * When one of the directories of location profile does not exist anymore, the latter is opened, before error shows up. +

-  * Empty proxy password is not "saved" to reduce session data size. +
-  * When reloading directory content, file panel tries to preserve its position. +
-  * When checking //Never ask me again// checkbox, all answer buttons are disabled except for the positive one, to avoid confusion. +
-  * More informative error message when setting permissions of uploaded directory fails. +
-  * File masks can be separated also by comma (in addition to semicolon)+
-· * Dialog for entering deselection mask has //Deselect// title now. +
-  * It is now possible to specify both password and private key on Login dialog (server may require double authentication). +
-  * Confirmation is required before stored session is deleted. +
-  * Too long authentication prompts can be revealed also using keyboard. +

-  * Obsolete temporary directories are no longer checked, when WinSCP is run for service task (such as registration for URL handling). +
-  * Bug fix: When using MS Virtual Desktop Manager, the main window of WinSCP was enlarged, when its virtual desktop was activated. Other associated issues are pending. +
-  * Bug fix: Stored session name was not recognized in URL's containing path suffix. +
-  * Bug fix: When remote file was opened (not edited) in an external application that opens multiple files in window (process), WinSCP incorrectly suggested to enable support for this kind of //editors//. Now it suggests to configure the application as an external editor. +
-  * Bug fix: Wrong default action was highlighted in remote file context menu when resolving of symbolic links is turned off or impossible. +
-  * Bug fix: When directory was removed its cache was not, making it possible to enter no longer existing directory by typing its path manually. +
-  * Bug fix: SCP fallback was not working in 3.7.5. +
-  * Bug fix: Include mask was not saved in configuration. +

-    * The check can pass thru HTTP proxy server. +
-    * To allow new features, WinSCP sends to the server its current version and UI language. +
-  * Several changes to custom commands: +
-    * Custom commands that does not work with files selected in file panels (no ''!'', ''!&'', ''!^!'' patterns) are now officially supported. Such commands can be executed anytime, even if no file is selected. Also they are executed only once, despite several files being selected. Options //Apply to directories// and //Execute recursivelly// cannot be configured for them. Command //Disk Space Usage// added as an example (''df''). +

-  * Functionality of SFTP server bug //Does not use UTF-8 for SFTP4 and newer// workaround extended. It is now titled //Server does not use UTF-8//. By setting it to //Off//, usage of UTF-8 can be forced even for SFTP3 and older (useful for servers using MBCS natively). Thanks to [[&url(tommy)|Tommy Wu]]. +
-  * Function //Keep remote directory up to date// can handle subdirectory addition and removal. +
-  * Function //Synchronize// can optionally synchronize timestamps of existing files only, instead of actual files (SFTP only). +

-  * Transfer queue list distinguishes process of "transfer size calculation". +
-  * Confirmation messages unified to always show //Cancel// button. Previously some contained //Abort// instead. +
-  * Improved error reporting for //Keep remote directory up to date// function. +
-  * Function //Keep remote directory up to date// can perform full synchronization on start. By default user confirmation is required. +
-  * Confirmation of transfer resume can be suppressed the same way as overwrite confirmation, i.e. by disabling confirmation for synchronization, background transfers or in script. +

-  * Confirmations during background transfers can be supressed from //Background tab// of Preferences dialog too. +
-  * Both compare directory criterions (//Compare by time// and //Compare by size//) can be unselected making WinSCP select only files not existing in the opposite directory. +
-  * Functions //Synchronize// and //Keep remote directory up to date// do not delete files by default. This affects fresh installation only! +
-  * Server host key fingerprint verification box re-formated. It also shows key type now. +
-  * When synchronizing and comparing directories, the time difference of one second is ignored (for compatibility with FAT file systems). It is also ignored when transferring newer files only. +
-  * New scripting command ''call'' to run arbitrary remote shell command. If the current session does not support this (SFTP), separate shell session is automatically opened. Alias for the command is ''!''. +
-  * File masks can be directory specific, where meaningful (text file mask, exclusion masks). For example mask ''*/public_html/*.php'' matches only PHP files in directory ''public_html''. It does not matter what slashes are used, the mask always matches both remote and local directories. +
-  * Lines beginning with '';'' or ''#'' are ignored in script files (can be used for comments). +
-  * When connected to Vandyke VShell server for Windows, the remote directory tree shows list of drives on the server (implemented support for SFTP extension ''fs-roots@vandyke.com''). +

-  * Back/forward menu is preserved when switching sessions. +
-  * Reverted 3.7.2 change "File panel reflects change of system icon font in run time". It caused file panel fonts to be extremelly large on some systems. +
-  * When the same file is downloaded to editor again and support for editors that open multiple files in one process is enabled, the file is downloaded to the same temporary directory as before. This allows editor to reload the updated file (if supported by the editor). +
-  * Optional remote file panel column //Link target// showing target of symbolic links. +
-  * Context menu for "name" column header of file panel has item //By extension// to sort the column by file extension. +
-  * Logging level can be configured from GUI (on //Logging tab// of Login and Preferences dialog). +
-  * When changing permissions of one directory, the checkboxes cannot be toggled to "undefined" state unless //Recursive// options is checked. +
-  * Progress dialog shows //Time left// instead of previous //Time estimated//. +
-  * Checkboxes on permissions box toggle in order: unchecked, checked, grayed. +
-  * Existing target file is removed before resumable transfer to verify that user has sufficient permissions as soon as possible (SFTP-only). +
-  * When downloading to or uploading from the temporary directory (e.g. when editing files), user is not bothered with full path. +
-  * When uploading from editor using background transfer, the confirmations are always suppressed despite settings of background transfers. +
-  * Fallback to pre-3.7.2 method of detecting existence of remote directory, in case the server does not support ''SSH_FXP_LSTAT'' request (FTPshell Server).  +
-  * WinSCP is no longer sending SFTP extensions ''winscp@winscp.sourceforge.net'' and ''software@generic-extensions''. Instead ''vendor-id'' is used as proposed by SFTP version 6. +
-  * Smarter queue visibility toggling. +
-  * Link to logging configuration from log window toolbar. +
-  * Internal editor window never falls off the desktop work area. The same is true for default (fresh installation) position of main window. +
-  * Session name cannot contain some special characters. Especially slash ''/'', that caused problems when parsing URLs. +
-  * New //No to all// button on confirmation message, where user can select between appending source file and alternate method for transfer resuming. It makes WinSCP resume transfer whenever it finds smaller file in target directory with the same name. +
-  * New //No to all// button on confirmation message for alternative method of transfer resume. +
-  * Bug fix: Command //File(s) > Move to// was not disabled for SFTP version 1 and older. +
-  * Bug fix: It was not possible to change local drive using drop down menu, when the last used path on the drive was removed. +
