This is a beta release. It may be unstable. Some text may not be translated yet. Use at your own risk!

Download manually, or use Help > Check for Program Updates (if beta versions are enabled in Preferences / Internet / Updates).

The movie player plugin now has a "loop" button.
The Show VIEWERCMD=selaspect command now accepts fractional aspect ratios (e.g. 1.78) as well as x:y style ratios (e.g. 16:9).
The Show VIEWPANECMD command now supports "selaspect" like Show VIEWERCMD does, to set a fixed selection aspect ratio in the viewer pane.
In the viewer, reduced GPU usage when animating on zoom.
Fixed issues with Show VIEWERCMD=zoom command.

Added an option for toolbars to auto-collapse their labels. This only works on horizontal toolbars (Lister/Viewer). When enabled, if a toolbar isn't wide enough to show all its buttons, button labels will be hidden to try to make room before they spill into the overflow menu. This option is per-toolbar (enabled via Customize/Toolbars). You can also override it for individual buttons.
When any updated version of Opus 13 is run for the first time the default toolbars and context menus are now updated automatically with any new buttons (as long as they haven't been modified by the user at all). So if you never modify the default toolbars you'll now always have the latest versions.

The HttpRequest script object now supports local unix sockets (on Windows 10 and above). Use http+unix:// as the protocol followed by the path to the .sock file. Note that OS limitations mean the socket file path can't use unicode characters (ASCII only) and can't be longer than 107 characters.
Added Control.hwnd script property.
The evaluator GetInfo() function now works in the viewer. Currently the available information is:
- slideshowspeed: returns the current slideshow speed in seconds.
- selectaspectratio: returns the current selection aspect ratio as a fraction.
Evaluation "button_rect" value now has midx/midy members.

Code editor search & replace dialogs no longer fade or hide on focus loss.
Made a change to increase compatibility with Dropbox if it's using the Windows Cloud Files API
You can now add gaps to the Favorites list as well as separators (basically they act the same as separators but don't draw the line).
Fix for rendering corruption when wildcard field edit control bubble tooltip disappears.
Fixed the "Hide windows context menu items" flag not being respected for context menu items in submenus.
Fixed inconsistency in column order/naming in Evaluator Groups Preferences page.
Drag&drop with the right mouse button is now possible even if all the normal drag&drop actions have been removed in filetypes.
Fixed layout issue with Delete progress indicator dialog and unattended mode.
Possible fix for crash ID 716
