Nexus Ultimate just updated me to ver 11.2, so I naturally wanted to see the changelog, to see what was new.

But, I can't find it.

Can someone please tell me where it is?

And, if it does not exist, how is that possible?

Thanks.

Usually it takes about 3 days for Cnet to update their Winstep listings, so new releases can't be announced on the Winstep web site until they do (although they are made available to existing users via the Winstep Update Manager).

This time Cnet updated their listings in less than 24 hours, which caught us with our pants down. :oops:

Anyway, new releases always update the history files, which can be found on the Winstep folder in Program Files. For Nexus Update, the changelog is the following (in relation to v10.9):

--------------------------

Version 11.2 build 948 - March 14, 2011 - Official Release



New Features:


* Added Greek language file.

* Added Finnish language file.

* Added Croatian language file.

* Added Indonesian language file.

* Updated Polish language file.

* Updated French language file.

* Updated Farsi language file.

* Updated German language file.

* Non-square icon images and document thumbnails are now displayed with the proper
aspect ratio.

* Added an automatic retry after 30 seconds if Weather.com returns an 'unknown error'
when polling weather data.

* URL files (such as shortcuts to Steam games) now show the correct icons.

* The 'Delete Item' explosion animation is now smoother and twice as fast.

* Glass blur for semi-transparent backgrounds on Vista and 7 is now enabled by default.

* Moved dock's 'Lock Position' Nexus menu setting to the 'Screen Position' sub-menu.

* Changed UI background color so buttons no longer have ugly white border under Vista/7.

* Added support for the new NOOA Weather module METAR URL

* The My Computer (Drives) Shelf tab now updates automatically when adding and removing
drives.

* Besides the already existing right-click option, you can now also customize the image
displayed by a system tray expand icon by dropping an .ICO, .PNG or .TIF file into it.

* You can now use CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to switch Shelf tabs via the keyboard,
provided the Shelf has the focus.

* Languages in the About tab of Preferences are now sorted in Alphabetical order.

+++ Beta 2

* Set the Tab order of all dialogs.

* It's now possible to 'Browse', via the right click context menu, the contents of
virtual folders in Internal Commands (e.g.; My Computer).

* Added support for the new Help system.

+++ Release

* You can now drag files over taskbar window thumbnails - after half a second the
associated window is restored and brought to the foreground.

* Added support for RocketDock skins with negative margin coordinates.

* Re-organized the Advanced dialog in the Advanced tab of Preferences.

* Added a 'Thumbnail File Types' button to the Advanced Settings dialog from
where you can set which document, video and image files generate thumbnails.

* Changed the default clock and recycler module images so they are no longer
NeXT based.

* Improved usability of task window thumbnails in the dock.

* Right clicking on a folder in an Explorer window and selecting
Send to -> WorkShelf, now automatically creates a new tab in the Shelf displaying
the contents of that folder.

+++

* Added two extra messages to help troubleshoot when registration fails for some reason.

* Added troubleshoot warning that pops up if Comctl32.ocx is not installed correctly.

* Optimized handling of RocketDock backgrounds with negative coordinates.

* Theme wallpapers that are not set to tile are now automatically set to stretch.


Changes:

* Edge bump activation when dock are visible is now turned off by default.



Fixes:


* Fixed problem preventing the application from being registered with
a serial number.

* The 'Exit' button in Preferences was not being translated when
switching languages.

* If the dock was set to 100% transparent with opaque icons and the dock background
skin was already semi-transparent, mouse movement over the dock and drag & drop
operations could become erratic.

* Selecting the first monitor in the Monitors right-click menu was not docking a
dock to the selected monitor but instead toggled the dock position lock.

* Fixed issue where deleting a Shelf tab in the Content tab of Shelf Properties
was not updating the currently selected tab view.

* Selecting 'Shelf Properties' from the Shelf's body context menu was opening
the tab properties dialog instead.

* Application was not being high DPI virtualized on Vista/7 with high DPI (150%)
when starting up.

* Fixed crash when mousing over a module if the current mouse over effect was
'Sonic boom' and the modules icon cache had been disabled in Performance Settings.

* Customized system tray expand buttons images were not being shown unless the
dock was also set to display the currently running applications.

* The Shelf's body context menu displayed 'Exit Ultimate' twice.

* Fixed some major issues with high DPI virtualization on 7 and Vista.

+++ Beta 2

* The right click 'Insert New Dock Item -> NextSTART Hotspot' method was not
working properly on docks.

* The Effect 'Settings' button was sometimes enabled when it should not be.

* Editing a virtual shell folder with the Item Properties dialog would break the
ability to browse it's contents via the context menu.

+++ Official Release

* Under XP non-square image and document thumbnails displayed white borders.

* Hotkeys were being activated even if the Shift key combination wasn't an
exact match (for instance, CTRL+1 would also activate if the user pressed
CTRL+SHIFT+1)

* When moving a dock from one quadrant of the screen to another, so that
the background would flip or mirror, under Vista/7 the 'glass' region
wouldn't always update to overlap the new background.

* Added missing icon to Weather.com's icon set.

* When switching to a new theme, a collapsed Shelf would not properly update
the glass blurred region.

* Fixed some minor issues with the size and position of the 'number of instances'
text that overlaps the icons of running applications in groupped mode.

* Windows preview thumbnails sometimes lost their 'Always on top' status just
before Aero Peek, which could cause windows to overlap the thumbnails.

* Groupped task icons could sometimes not display the number of running instances.

* The 'Enable Send to Nexus Ultimate in Explorer Menus' setting said 'WorkShelf'
instead of 'Nexus Ultimate'.

+++

* Fixed ugly system tray icon.

* Since beta 1, Ultimate was crashing after displaying the uninstall survey.

* Fixed an issue that could cause Ultimate to stall for a while after installing
a new font if another application was not responding to broadcasted messages.

* Fixed bug that could cause icons on vertical magnifying docks to appear cropped.

Thank you much, I now see it in the History.txt file. I am so used to finding these on developer's web sites that I did not think to look in the Programs folder. Much appreciated!

Thank-you!

The old animation bugged me so much I switched it off. I'll have to take a look at how it looks now.

I see that you have put an incredible amount of work into this. Keep up the good work!
