Major improvements:
24.2.2010: Check the domains of mail addresses (DNS lookup for MX record)

Minor improvements:
7.12.2009: Include PARSETEST4 section in general release (convert characters >80H to %XX, for "international" URLs)
19.12.2009: For "international" characters in local files: Use Unicode for local directory search, URL launch in browser, read/check local files
20.12.2009: But not for Windows 95/98/ME

16.1.2010: attempt at decoding .jar files for APPLET ARCHIVE thanks to http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/cpp/cpp_mfc/article.php/c4049/
However:
- only one .jar archive per applet
- no unicode in file names
- name of archive must end with .jar
- .jar file must be internal, or the class link will remain broken
- .class "in Jar" property isn't saved in .XEN file (which prevents standard access in favor of waiting for .jar lookup)
24.1.2010: added <video src=
27.1.2010: improved list control divider double click (title is the minimum)
26.2.2010: improved extra text in domain mail check

18.1.2010: fixed title line of tab export
20.1.2010: Don't assume URLs to be UTF-8, use current charset instead

20.1.2010: Corrected exotic URLs in sitemap
26.1.2010: Fixed % in file: URLs, only convert %XX
27.1.2010: "Conversion to lowercase" option uses codepage for conversion 31.1.2010: Fixed bug in report (max size + max size url), probably introduced on 15.1.2010

3.4.2010: prevent reentrant calls to vDoIdle(); set fileNotFound status if tmp URL content file deleted by antivirus software
10.4.2010: replaced "> 80X" with ">= 80X" in vAnsi2EntityEscaped()
30.4.2010: changed user agent with "/" as requested in http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.43 and http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.8

However:
- only one .jar archive per applet
- no unicode in file names
- name of archive must end with .jar
- .jar file must be internal, or the class link will
remain broken
- .class "in Jar" property isn't saved in .XEN file
(which prevents standard access in favor of waiting for .jar lookup)

20.12.2008 (1.3)
