* New modern Ribbon interface. Major advantage being easy discovery of the huge 
array of useful helpers buried in the right-click context menus are now 
available to other than power-users!
* Select, Copy, Move and Delete Delimited field filters now use a powerful new 
field editor to determine which fields to operate on.
Use field number, field ranges like 4 .. 10, Excel column names like A5 or A5 
.. B6, as well as field names from the file.
Field names do not have to be in order – TextPipe will figure out where they 
are in each file and automatically use them.
* New filter to Extract Delimited fields – simply list the fields you need, and 
TextPipe will extract them.
* Extract field names from files directly in the file grid – just highlight the 
files, right-click and choose 'Extract field names to clipboard'. TextPipe 
puts a sorted field list on the clipboard.
* Match entire lines/records of CSV, Tab or Pipe data and output to a new 
format simply. Match an unlimited number of fields, use custom delimiters 
too. Perfect for mainframe data with thousands of columns.
Filters Menu \ Replace \ Match CSV/Tab/Pipe record.
* Easily generate patterns for CSV, Tab or Pipe-delimited entire record 
matches. When using an EasyPattern match, right-click the Find What field and 
choose 'Insert EasyPattern \ Line Patterns \ CSV record'. Also Tab record and 
Pipe record. Matches up to 50 fields.
* Mainframe copybook filter now gives exact line and columns position for 
errors, and displays the current line/column when editing.
Mainframe copybook filter now handles single-field REDEFINEs better.
Mainframe copybook filter now allows ':' as part of fieldname.
Fixed ASCII warning detection logic with zero byte files.
* Easily compare results in Excel, by taking advantage of our Excel-style 
column naming in replacements.

So now instead of having to use $1$, $27$, $26$ to identify matched fields, 
you can now use Excel-style column names like  @col_A@, @col_AB@, @col_Z@. 
These new names are now available for every search/replace throughout 
TextPipe. You can also insert excel-style column names easily using the 
right-click menu on pattern replacements – right click, Insert match 
subexpression \ Excel column numbering \ @col_A@
* New Sort by UTF-8 (case sensitive and insensitive).
* Filters can now be paused by clicking the [Go > ] button e.g. to receive a 
skype call.
* Increased filter history from 10 to 36 entries.
* New warning if the filter being opened is already open in another window.
* New button that allows defaults for each filter type to be set under user-
control rather than auto-magically. This prevents hard-to-debug issues with 
pattern match options that are normally hidden.
* Moved filter text search to new location at top of filter tree, normally 
hidden.
* Renamed 'Repeat Subfilters X Times' to 'Run Subfilters X Times'.
* Fixed Changing 'Include comment filters in log' not flagging the filter as 
changed.
* Now checks for 'zombie' filters that follow a T-filters' secondary output 
filter – these filters do nothing.
* New install option to pin to taskbar. 
* Filter log filename can now include macros like @fullInputFilename@ and 
@filterName@, allowing log files to be grouped and named with their filters 
like 
  @filterPath@@filterName@.log    or
  %HOMEPATH%\log\@filterName@.log
* Changed macro @FILTERFILENAME@ to exclude the path, to be consistent with the 
naming of other macros and to generally be more useful.
