v25.40.0004 - 2023-12-22 12:28
    + Searching for Labels: Since there are soft labels, we need a way to search for 
      labels regardless of their current value, i.e. by their index. This can now be done 
      by passing the index in quotes and prefixing it with a #, e.g. lbl:"#1".
    
      Pattern                   Matches
        Quick search:
          lbl:red               all items where the label matches *red*
          lbl:#1                all items where the label matches *red* (if label #1 is "Red")
          lbl:"#1"              all items with label #1
        Fast database search, including Catalog | Click and Search | Labels:
          This PC?#1 /L         all items where the label matches *red* (case-insensitive)
          This PC?"#1" /L       all items with label #1
        Bizarre fringe cases:
          lbl:#0                all items where the label matches *#0*
          lbl:"#0"              all items without a label
          lbl:#                 all items where the label contains a number (= matching *#*)
          lbl:"#"               all items where the label is a 1-digit number (= matching #)
      BTW, Live and Visual filters already support this syntax. These patterns will match 
      a label #6:
        lbl:"#6" 
        Label:"#6"
    + Catalog | Click and Search | Labels: Now items pointing to soft labels are correctly 
      configured to point to the label index instead of the caption being or containing a 
      variable (which did not find anything).
    * Interface Translation Tool | View | Validate Spaces: Changed _ to ~ as visualizer 
      for spaces. Better countable.
    ! Network: A change in v20.70.0012 - 2020-02-06 20:42 has prevented the login dialog 
      for admin shares. Fix #2.

    + SC array: You can now pass a single variable to the array() special function. For 
      example, this will now work as you probably expected:
        $values = "vampire,cow";
          $arr[] = array($values);
          echo $arr[0]; //vampire

      Can anyone confirm or deny this? Refresh the Network listing and check the debug log

v25.40.0011 - 2023-12-25 14:34
    + SC get got a new named argument "network" to return network items (items to be 
      listed directly under the Network node) using various methods.
      Syntax: get("network", method)
        method: 0: Shell
                   Works everywhere, but is not the fastest.
                1: NetServerEnum
                   Works fast if it works.
                2: WNet
                   Works great on Win8 and earlier, but needs SMB1 and hence fails on 
                   Win10 and later.
      Remarks:
        - This feature is mostly for debugging and determining what works best on your 
          current system. You can then change the default network enumeration method with 
          tweak NetworkEnumeration (see below).
        - The "networki" variant adds some information to the bottom of the list, including 
          the time.
      Examples:
        text get("network", 0);   //Shell
        text get("network", 1);   //NetServerEnum
        text get("network", 2);   //WNet
        text get("networki", 1);  //NetServerEnum with timing and info
    + Unofficial SC tweak enhanced: Added key "NetworkEnumeration" to select the default 
      network enumeration method.
      Examples:
        tweak("NetworkEnumeration", 0); //Shell (factory default)
        tweak("NetworkEnumeration", 1); //NetServerEnum
        tweak("NetworkEnumeration", 2); //WNet
        tweak("NetworkEnumeration");    //show current value in status bar

      cache file format from binary to standard INI (UTF-16-LE with BOM), from

    + Highlight Hovered Items: The HighlightHoveredItemsProps tweak got another value to 
      show the highlight with rounded corners.
        HighlightHoveredItemsProps (bit field):
          1: Border at the bottom only (effect only in the file list).
          2: Rounded corners (effect all over the place); overwrites bit 1.
             Roundness is controlled by tweak LabelRoundness, but limited to 6 pixels 
             (else it looks funny).
      So to get rounded corners on the hover highlight, tweak it like this:
        HighlightHoveredItemsProps=2
      FYI, it's the new factory default.
    ! Roundness: A maximum roundness of 100 could cause a slight drawing error due to a 
      rounding error. Fixed.
