* When a global setting is changed, it will now be automatically applied to all other running instances. Previously, each instance held an independent copy of the global settings, and the global settings file was completely overwritten when an instance closed. If a global setting was changed while multiple instances were opened, the change would not affect the other instances, and might not be permanent depending on the order that the instances were closed.
* Added the ability to open files with unicode characters in their filename.
* Print: added the ability to control the Line Spacing.
* Added support for unicode characters in command line parameters.
* Unicode surrogate pairs are now supported.
* Added tools to open the next/previous file in the folder (alphabetically, includes only files with the same extension). These tools do not appear on a menu. The hotkeys are Ctrl+Alt+F11 and Ctrl+Alt+F12.
* Numerous improvements to the Spell Checker. Download the latest version of the Spell Checking Module from Gammadyne.
* Large speed improvement when saving a large document with many paragraphs. Also improved speed of the "Delete Line" tool.
* A file can now be dropped on DocPad's window caption, causing the file to be opened.
* Larger files can now be opened. Files are opened slightly faster.
* Discard Paragraphs Containing: added support for unicode.
* Statistics: added the "Reading Time" stat.
* Statistics: Sentences that are less than 3 characters are no longer counted.
* The "Redo" tool can now appear on the toolbar, although it is hidden by default.
* Fixed: Associate File Type: this was not always reporting the existing association, and prompting if it should be changed.
* Fixed: rarely, balloon help was not appearing promptly, or not at all.
* Fixed: the /last command line switch was not working (since 16.0).
* Fixed: executables were signed with a revoked SHA1 cert. Because the SHA256 cert is valid, this would only be reported to the user on systems prior to Win7.
