-----

[!] <The Bat!> uses "Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Instructions Set" to improve the speed of AES algorithm, that is used in TLS and S/MIME. Intel AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning with the all new 2010 Intel Core processor family based on the 32nm Intel micro-architecture codename Westmere. To test whether your CPU supports the new instruction set, run The Bat! with /AES_BENCHMARK command line parameter, which must be the single command line parameter, and it must be case-sensitive. It will also show the performance difference between the old and new instructions.
[!] Instant Counters: The Bat! displays the number of messages in accounts and folders immediately upon start-up 
[!] Faster start-up time for multi-core processors.
[!] Increased speed of The Bat! start-up. The Bat! now performs time-consuming start-up routines (like loading of plug-ins, parsing of interface definition files) in parallel. The performance boost is noticeable on old single-core CPUs, because disk and processor operations now run simultaneously. On multi-core CPUs and multiprocessor systems the boost is even higher because processor operations are combined. Besides that, we've done optimizations in slower parts of code by implementing fast algorithms, which increases speed regardless of number of CPUs or cores, by 0.5 to 4 seconds, depending on processor speed.

[*] If a mail server was ill-configured to have different self-signed TLS certificates to send and receive mail, and these certificates had the same "Subject" but different key data, and the user have added the first certificate to the Trusted Root CA address book, the second certificate gave "Signature match failed" error, because The Bat! first uses certificates from address book and then from TLS sessions, and since these certificates had different "Subject" (which is prohibited by X.509), The Bat! did use key data from first certificate as though it was the second certificate. The "Signature match failed" error gave no clue to the user of how to resolve this problem. Now The Bat! have workaround for such ill-configured servers. In case of "Signature match failed" error during a TLS session, The Bat! tries to verify the certificate again, but in this time certificates transmitted in the TLS session have priority over the certificate from the address book. This avoids the error above mentioned.

[-] (#0007118) MicroEd: Usage of subpatterns when replacing text using RegExp was broken
[-] (#0007128) /EXPORT and /IMPORT commands were not working for Address Book (LDIF) properly
[*] Message View and Message Header PopUp menus reworked


4.0.22
------
Interface Improvements
[+] Possibility to choose background colour for Image Viewer
[+] "Resend to..." command for attachments in the message preview pane
[+] It is now possible to extract attachments from multiple selected messages using the "Attachments|Save all..." commands in the main menu and message list menu
[*] Keyboard layout indicator in input password dialogue
[*] Password input dialog now displays the "Caps Lock" status.
[*] Easier registration key input for unregistered version of The Bat!

S/MIME Internal Implementation
[*] When using S/MIME internal implementation and a user removes a self-signed certificate with private key from account, The Bat! also deletes this certificate from Trusted Root CA address book.
[-] (#0006784) Signing certificate wasn't saved as default while signing (using internal S/MIME) 
[-] (#0004656) When signing a message with S/MIME internal implementation, and the "OK" button was inactive because the user had the only one self-signed certificate, after clicking "View" and adding this certificate to the "Trusted Root CA" address book, the "OK" button was still inactive. The user had to click "Cancel" and then try to sign the message again.

Secure Connections
[*] During the TLS handshake, The Bat! first looks for certificates in the address book, and then, if a required certificate was not found there, in the list of certificates transmitted from the server to the client during the TLS handshake. It allows the user to add proper certificates to the address book to override the troublesome certificates that might have been transmitted by the server.
[*] Better logging for certificate chains in TLS connections

Templates
[+] %MEMO template macro for including the original message's Memo text
[+] New syntax of %ABnnnEMAIL macros: it is now possible to retrieve secondary email addresses on an address book entry by passing a number as the first parameter, e.g. %ABOTOEMAIL(1). The second parameter can be used for setting the default value.  %ABnnnEMAIL[="Default Value"] work as before and in the same way as %ABnnnEMAIL(0, "Default Value")
[-] %CLEAR macro did not work in HTML/Windows Editor
[-] (#0006987): %ISSIGNATURE pasted many times in HTML 
[-] (#0007004) Links (http or mailto) does not reformatted to clickable when pasted from a Quick Template

Submission Forms
[+] possibility to filter lists of choices 
[-] If a submission form preview couldn't sign or encrypt the form contents, an empty error box was shown.

Protected Environment
[-] When using the runas.exe provided by Windows for running single applications with different user credentials, The Bat! has the "Default Application Data Folder" grayed out.

Other bugfixes
[-] There could be AVs in POP3 session.
[-] Access Violation could randomly occur when an address book entry was deleted


4.0
---

Security has always been the RITLabs' characteristic feature. This credo was not forsaken by The Bat! 4.0 developers - they introduce the URL manager for background retrieval of the HTML images. Its appearance is caused by malicious codes penetrating PCs through graphic elements of the HTML messages more and more frequently. New manager blocks the suspicious images and lets the safe ones through. URL Manager controls the retrieval of messages not by folder or addressee, but by particular hosts or URLs.

Large-scale innovations were made in The Bat! 4.0 folder tabs. Now users are armed with Favorite sets of folders and addresses which allow grouping the folders according to various criteria regardless of their mailbox positions. Users with large and sophisticatedly structured message bases shall appreciate this quick message access option. One can add his working projects to different Favorite sets, view his most important folders using Favorites or even read the new messages from virtual folders added to Favorite sets. Each Favorite set may contain folders (including virtual ones) and Address History, which is also a The Bat! 4.0 novelty.

Address History gives users the possibility to track messages for each of the correspondents. Users may quickly find messages from a particular person, find out when this person replied or wrote a message for the last time, etc. The setup wizard collects initial information from the existing message base, so users can start navigating the Address History right away. Address History is totally adjustable - unnecessary correspondents can be deleted from this view mode, addressees can be divided into groups for the user's convenience. When the Address History is enabled, the list of the recorded correspondents can be accessed on the Addresses tab of the folder pane in the main program's window. It can also be combined with the Favorite sets.

In The Bat! 4.0 users will find an improved convenient interface. The main windows of the program have a modern look. Headers and free spaces of the windows have nice gradient background, unnecessary borders around graphic components were removed, avoiding visual clutter. The account section of the status bar has its own customizable popup menu, the status bar itself having an option to show/hide the account log.

The MicroEd text editor is improved. Now it supports Unicode, which means that one message can contain symbols from various sets (Latin, Cyrillic, hieroglyphic sets, etc.). In the new version any system fonts can be used for writing messages. Work with the editor is handier; the text search is equipped with new options.

The developers highly improved the internal image viewer. Now it allows viewing all the attached images in selected messages navigating between them. The viewer supports rotate, advanced resize and zoom algorithms and full screen mode.

Among other novelties the following ones should be mentioned:
-	%EMAIL% environment variable which simplifies The Bat! support and maintenance;
-	smart security buttons in PGP and S/MIME messages;
-	addressee's name capitalization thanks to a new %TOFName macro processing algorithm;
-	Outlook's attachment TNEF format support;
-	work with JPEG images with CMYK and YCCK color schemes;
-	five times faster message sorting, less memory consume due to fixed memory leaks.

You will then be able to open these drafts for further editing. To update The Bat! via the MSI (thebat_pro_X-XX-XX.msi), you don't even need to close The Bat!. Just run the MSI and follow the instructions.

[*] The Bat! should now be compatible with Windows Vista
[*] When an attach is open from a preview pane, its original name is used 
[*] Previous versions of The Bat! did use THEBAT.IPC file (located in the same directory with thebat.exe, e.g. C:\Program Files\The Bat!) for interprocess communication.

The Bat! now uses THEBAT.IPC under Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95 only. Under Windows NT-based operating systems The Bat! used named pipe "\\.\pipe\The Bat! 0 CmdLine", where 0 is the current session ID (i.e. 0 - first logged user, 1 - second logged user and so on).

* More diagnostic information is given when reporting error in displaying html.
* The Bat! issues 'RSET' SMTP command after each message sent to prevent subsequent message to be send to addressees of a previous message on some odd servers.
- Specials| Create Filter (Shift-Ctrl-F) didn't work when message auto-view was turned off.
- The Bat! didn't support the SMIMEEncryptionKeyPreference S/MIME attribute and thus was unable to verify digital signatures made by Outlook XP.
- SmartBat contents wasn't saved when exiting The Bat! with open SmartBat.
- Fixed some incompatibilities with RFC2797 (Certificate Management Messages over CMS). 
- There was an action in sorted/office filters which was logged as an error and caused an exclamation sound.
- Fixed a bug of Beta/2 with S/MIME internal implementation. It didn't check correctly the signatures.
- Fixed a bug in "Message Redirect" command with inserting the redirector's Reply-To information into the redirected message if the original message didn't have the Reply-To field set.
- Removed flickering in the About box when the credits are scrolled.
- Attachments were not deleted from the attachments directory when they were deleted from the Trash folder.
- TLS error messages weren't logged.

- It was impossible to change a directory for account or for mail attachments under Windows 95, 98 and ME.
* When changing a directory for an account which had a different attachment directory, the files from the attachment directory are copied, not moved, to the new location, to prevent moving of system files if the account directory has been set to a system folder by a user's mistake. After changing an account directory, the attachment directory resets to default, which is the "Attach" folder inside the folders of account; the old separate attachment directory is left in place.
- Spell checking - suggestion dialogue was not remembering the last chosen position.
* When a connection to SMTP was broken due to socket error, and the connection type was TLS, the error message wasn't logged.
