Added Show VIEWERCMD=acceleration and Show VIEWERCMD=scalemethod commands, which let GPU acceleration and the scaling methods be modified for the current viewer without having to change the global Preferences. These commands have also been added to the default Viewer toolbar (reset to Factory Defaults or find them in Customize / Default Toolbars).
The Show VIEWERCMD=selectregion command now lets you specify the size of the region to select:
- As a percentage, e.g. Show VIEWERCMD=selectregion,100%
- As a width, e.g. Show VIEWERCMD=selectregion,1024. The height will be calculated automatically from the aspect ratio of the image.
- As a size, e.g. Show VIEWERCMD=selectregion,1024,768. The selection will be centered in the image.
- As a full rectangle specified as x,y,w,h; e.g. Show VIEWERCMD=selectregion,0,0,1024,768.
The Show VIEWERCMD=backcol command can now be told to allow a checkerboard background behind the image while changing the remainder of the background color. For example, Show VIEWERCMD=backcol,#000000,allowcheckerboard.

Numeric string comparisons now ignore thousands separators (so, e.g. "10,000.txt" will sort after "12.txt")
Matching brace highlighting in the script editor now takes comments into account.
Fixed occasional distortion in GPU viewer when panning a magnified image.
Changed how the codepage name lookup table is built for the StringTools Encode/Decode script functions.
Cursor position is now preserved when the FAYT is bumped to a new tab due to searching in a locked tab.

Fixed viewer not allowing selection grab handles to be clicked without Shift key down if left button action was set to 'next image'.
Fixed evaluator error from FileDate() command when used in an inline insert code.
Errors in inline evaluator codes in functions now (e.g. Select {=banana()=}) are now shown in the button editor log as well as the global log.
Possible fix for crash ID 765
Updated to unrar64.dll 7.23.
