• Introduction of the unit testing framework (google test and google mock)
• Preliminary support for VS2013
• Additional stats in the status dialog
• Possibility to disable inquiry at startup regarding shell extension registration
• Shell extension options "Copy To/Move To/MoveTo Special" now allow choosing directory manually

• Bugfix: incorrect shutdown of application.
• Bugfix: Fixed serialization problem (data streams were opened in text mode instead of binary).
• Bugfix: Fixed potential problems with file handle leaks in certain situations when copying files.
• Bugfix: got rid of some deadlocks when handling progress info.
• Bugfix: dereferencing NULL pointers caused crashes and deadlocks in some cases.
• Bugfix: wrong handling of multiple input paths (task copied the first file over and over).
• Bugfix: Crash when double-clicking on 'All' task in mini view.
• Bugfix: wrong calculations of the processed/total size.
• Bugfix: unhandled exception when loading task data from file.
• Bugfix: 100% of a processor used by the clipboard monitoring thread.
• Bugfix: Fixed potential problem with constant re-reading drive id.
• Bugfix: restored resume functionality.
• Bugfix: importing paths from file didn't work properly.
• Bugfix: task stopping (pause/cancel/kill) did not work properly when in copy files phase.
• Bugfix: potential problem with auto-continuation of operation when enough space on disk appears (when showing 'not enough space on disk' dialog).
• Bugfix: filtering incorrectly shown in status dialog.
• Bugfix: Fixed incorrect memory management in drive detection mechanism.
• Bugfix: Fixed problem with language not being read at startup when no configuration file was present.
• Bugfix: shell extension controller returned pointer to unallocated memory.
• Bugfix: fixed an infinite loop when iterating over files in a directory in some cases.
• Bugfix: exiting CH while copying data caused status to be changed to finished; this prevented auto-resuming at the next launch.
• Bugfix: Tasks loaded at startup did not start automatically when the status was right.
• Bugfix: invalid priority was set for the thread in custom copy dialog.
• Bugfix: deleting files while moving was not working.
• Bugfix: corrected fast-move operation to skip fast-moving when path already exists or access denied (i.e. different volumes).
• Possible fix for problem with activation context when launching CH (exception thrown from CMainWnd::OnCreate() caused Create() to fail).

• Added Dutch translation made by Jurgen@CH-CF.
• Updated German translation by White-Tiger.

• Rewritten major parts of the copy engine for improved performance and reliability(!)
• Improved storing/loading operation progress mechanism.
• Improved support for x64 architecture.
• Removed unused option "Copying/Use auto-complete files".
• Improved responsiveness for operations on tasks.
• Various code cleanups.
• Reduced amount of information stored in the task description files.
• Changed task identification from time(NULL) to an uuid string.
• Rewritten internal configuration system to use boost::property_tree.
• Changed the way temporary files are handled - now there are 4 files per task -> .cht with strict task definition, .cht.rstate with rarely changing contents, .cht.ostate with often changing contents and .cht.log with log file.

• Removed functionality creating n copies of the original file - it made code more complicated, preventing core code from rewriting (hopefully nobody uses it).
• Removed option 'auto-resume on error' - wasn't really used, did not work properly.
• Removed configuration option "Create log file" - most of the logging was done without taking this option into consideration.
• Removed 3 not implemented (anymore) configurations settings:
  • "Show visual confirmation dialogs"
  • "Use timed confirmation dialogs"
  • "Time of showing confirmation dialogs"
• Removed 'advanced' button from status dialog (along with rename input paths functionality which was rather useless).
• Improved shell extension support:
  • renamed 'shell extension' to 'integration with system'
  • enabling integration will automatically check for compatibility (previously only after ch's restart)
  • on startup, when integration is disabled, notification dialog box will allow to enable it again.
• Changed the way shell extension communicates with CH from binary protocol to XML.
• Rewritten most of the shell extension code to allow more fine-grained control of the items that appear in menu (also to possibly add new options in the shell menus).
• Replaced buffer type detection algorithm with the one that should work reliably on any system.
• Disabled enforcing drive detection mechanism - some fixed drives (i.e. TrueCrypt volumes) does not report physical drive location.
• Improvements in scanning directory subtask.
• Added new subtask class handling fast move operation before scanning directories for files.
• Updated installer script to the newest version of InnoSetup (unicode).
• Lots of refactoring.

• Feature: Added two new task options to allow changing the generated name for the file in case copy is done inside single directory.
• Feature: Added support for very long paths.
• Feature: Added portable mode in case configuration file is found in the executable directory.
• Added command-line option '--ImportTaskDefinition' allowing launching operations copy/move operations.

• Internal project changes and cleanups not visible to end-users.
• Bugfix: crash at startup (problem with activation context).
• Updated about box with better contact alternative.
• Bugfix: clipboard monitoring did not work in Windows 7 x64.
• Bugfix: crash at startup (rare, but long standing problem with corruption of task files).
• Bugfix: input paths were ignored if did not exist (often causing task to end with success while it should not).
• Bugfix: importing paths in custom copy dialog did not work.
• Bugfix: fixed an endless loop when searching for files.
• Fix: Copy Handler at every startup tried to write "Start with system" setting to registry, whether it was needed or not.
• Updated russian translation by Alexander Polukhin.
• Applied patch by eegee for displaying time to finish in main copy dialog.
