 Version 3.5
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Portable version of AVCutty

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.4
--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.3
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Progress information while generating AVI scene files: counter

  including the selected scenes with a right-click and using
  the menu function 'new group with marked scenes'
- Capture dialog: better message when entering an incomplete path
- Save AVI files dialog: Possibility to insert the group name into
  the generated filename (using %G).
- Manual scene cut dialog: Now you can play the scene including
  the audio part (using the spacebar or the play button)
- When adding a new group, the "edit group name" mode is
  automatically activated.  

- Hint: Generating all scenes of one group:
       - Activate the group in the scene list
	   - Select all scenes in the group (CTRL + A)
	   - Open the dialog "Save AVI files"
	   - Check the option "Only work on selected scenes"
	   - Start the AVI file generation
	   
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Saving scene AVIs: AVCutty now generates one AVI file for each group
  of scenes when using the function 'save all scenes in one AVI file'.
  The name of the corresponding group is used as filename for the AVI.
- The function 'signal sound' uses the Windows standard sound.
- Scenes with the state 'ready' will be marked with a little green
  rectangle in the storyboard.
- Some internal changes and fixes.
- New option 'Export only scenes with state 'ready'': If this option
  is set, only the scenes with state 'ready' will be saved into AVI
  files.
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- Set scene state in the dialog "scene properties"
- Remember the column widths of the scene list
- New option in "generate scene AVIs" dialog: signal sound when finishing

  active group"
- New shortcuts "1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8" and "9" for setting

  keys 2->9 while playing a scene. When no scene is playing, you can
  use the keys 1->9)
- New shortcut "Y" in trim dialog: "Merge actual scene and previous
  scene"
- New shortcut "X" in trim dialog: "Merge actual scene and next scene"
  the operation or asking for an user action.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.0a
--------------------------------------------------------------------

- New column in the scene list: For each scene it is possible to set
  a state flag. The flag can be used to mark the trimmed scenes as

- Correction in the device selection of the capturing dialog
  (corresponding AVCutty/DirectX message: AddPreviewGraph()/E_INVALIDARG)
- The representation of the selection rectangle in the storyboard
  was changed.
- New option for saving scene AVIs: It is possible to delete the source
  AVI files after generating the scene AVI files (including an extra
  verification dialog before deleting).

  a BMP file, it is possible to include the datestamp of the video frame
  into the file name.
- Better support of shortcuts when renaming a scene group (keys <F2>,
  <Return> and <Esc>)
- Now it is possible to select "overwrite all"/"skip all", if a scene
  AVI already exists.
- Scene index: #PURESRCFILENAME returns the filename and not the path.
- Some changes to enhance the usability.
- Some internal changes and fixes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
 Version 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
 
- Much has changed in AVCutty v3.0. So, here only some of the new features:
  
  + Completely redesigned user interface
  + Scenes can be sorted hierarchically in groups
  + When saving the scene AVIs, the group hirarchy will be 'saved' as
    directory structure  
  + Different views in the main window. E.g. 'Storyboard"
  + Much more fexibly possibility to name the scene AVIs
  + Saving single scene AVIs (Dialog 'Scene properties')
  + "Batchmode" for editing 'Comment' and 'Desination filename' of scenes
    (Select multiple scenes and open 'scene properties'. Use '%' as
	placeholder for already entered text)
  + Extended scene index
  + Many smaller options and optimisations

  Not all 'nice to have' features are included yet. The new possibilities
  cause new wishes. ;-) They will come with the next updates...
