We plan on releasing 3.0 (Hi-Res) by the end of the month which hopefully
will make for a very Merry Christmas for all!
Here is a should-be-complete list of changes from 2.1:

* Added "Toggle font" (last 2 fonts used) ButtonAction (Yanoff+)
* Added "Sort NGs by PDB Name" option (undo for "Alphabetize NGs")
* Changed MID intro token to standard URL format ("news:MID", not "<MID>")
* Eliminated redundant drawing (highlighted text flashes when entering
article)
* NOTE: "Code Diver" causes (not unexpected) crash on v > 3.0 (built-in
Hi-Res)
* Widened the server names in the "Server Select" dialog
* Added defensive code removing Alert Log "Logging Prefs" button if already
open
* Added option to set all NGs' threading values if "Conduit" Poll Pref mods
Y->N

* Added defensive code removing new Poll Prefs options for "Conduit" users
* Added "Forward" and "Forward w/ quote" article actions.
* Do not store MID in History DB for hard-killed articles (think about it)
* Added Misc pref to highlight chars on last line of next-to-last page
(Yanoff+)

* Hex ASCII now also reports number of characters

* Always repair malformed/repeated "Re:" subjects (e.g. outgoing messages)
* New server pref "Supply Outgoing MIDs" (generates & send or let server do
it)
* Sent MID format is now: "<yf[+/-][date (hex)]%[username]@[hostname]>"
* If body save fails, poll aborts (rather than repeated head-only saves)
* Received reports that 'LightSpeed' causes occasional "snowy screen"
* Complete Hi-Res screen and Font Hack (inc. Fonts4OS5) support (Yanoff+)
* Non-square/resizable (HandEra/Sony/Tungsten) screen ("DIA") support
(Yanoff+)
* Fixed crash parsing unknown EHLO values (e.g. comcast.net) when sending
email
* Fixed post-poll crash if poll started inside NG with 0 articles
* Fixed crash on article list screen whenever scoring is turned on
* 99% Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval (GNKSA) compliance (header editing)
* Article font applies to message creation screen now, too
* Rewrote table code to reclaim yet more wasted (inter-column) pixels
* Contracted "To:" and "Sub:" to "T:" and "S:" on message editing screen
* Bad "T:" portions highlighted to indicate crossposting not allowed in
Yanoff-
* Added width and 1 line to field on "Headers" screen
* Added width and 1 line to signature field on "Server Prefs"
* Scrollbar works in signature field even when focus is on other fields
* Scrollbar works in Compose window even when focus is on "T:" or "S:" field
* Enabled all soft buttons on the article list screen for all users
