8.3.0

• ~ Changed the command line argument from specifying 'the path to the Config.ini' to 'the path to the general data directory containing the Config.ini and log.txt'.
• + Multi-dimensional tiling of the master area. The user may now specify X and Y dimensions independently up to 9 x 9.

• + 'View margins' allowing a layout to occupy a limited space of the monitor.
• + 'Single window action', which allows to close or maximize windows based on rules.
• + 'Reload' hotkey, which reloads the whole script.
• + Re-Setting the 'Reload' and 'ExitApp' hotkey in 'Config.ini'-

• - Removed the configuration variable Config_viewCount.
• - Removed the explicit listing of commands in the Bar_cmdGui.
• - Removed the default rules for Gimp, since from version 2.8 onwards Gimp can use a single application window instead of three and more.

• + feature #005446: Reload function (reloading bug.n without changing the current association of windows to views/tags)
• + workaround bug #018364: (Evernote: new note) Introducing the configuration variable Config_onActiveHiddenWnds to set the behaviour of bug.n for already existing but hidden windows on redraw

8.2.0

• - Config_addRunCommands (the 'Run' item in 'command GUI').
• - Config_sessionFilePath
• - Config_topBar (replaced by Config_verticalBarPos.

• + Default rules
• + Config_hotkey (setting hotkeys in 'Config.ini').
• + Config_horizontalBarPos (The horizontal position of the bar: center, left or right side of the monitor or an offset in pixel (px) from the left (>= 0) or right (< 0).
• + Config_verticalBarPos (The vertical position of the bar: top or bottom of the monitor, tray = sub-window of the task bar.
• + Config_barWidth (The width of the bar in pixel (px) or with a per cent sign (%) as a percentage.
• + Config_singleRowBar (If false, the bar will have to rows, one for the window title and one for all other GUI controls.
• + Config_spaciousBar (If true, the height of the bar will be set to a value equal to the height of an edit control, else it will be set to the text height.
• + Config_syncMonitorViews (The number of monitors (2 or more), for which views should be activated, when using the accordant hotkey. If set to 1, the views are actiated for all monitors. If set to 0, views are activated independently (only on the active monitor).
