[!] DN is now using extended (AT) keyboard so this version is not possible
to run on old machines...
[!] Code is optimized for 286+ CPU, so now works slightly faster, but is not
able to run on 8086-based computers.
New HotKeys
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
[+] 'Hotkey Overview' topic added to 'Help on Help'

[*] Date in DBF Viewer is shown accordingly to Country setup
[*] Shift+F2 hotkey for saving changes in Hex mode in Viewer and Disk Editor
[-] Some bugs in DBF Viewer causing Share Violation and 'forgetting'
temporary files in the TEMP directory
[-] Structure of empty database files is displayed without dropping to
hex-view mode.
[-] Fixed bug, caused crashes while viewing files with more than 128 tab
characters in a row.
[-] While Tracking Viewing History, file could be truncated (by another
process), and DN tried to achieve unexisted data beyong end-of-file,
displaying "dirty memory dump".
[-] Fixed crash when trying to scroll down emty file by mouse.
[-] Fixed bug with loosing last character on line while scrolling up
UNIX-style text files (0A as a new-line character)

▀▀▀▀▀▀
[!] Confirmation about modifing files with Read-Only attribute is now asked.
[+] "Optimal Fill" in local editor options.
[+] Tab size in Editor Setup
[*] Alt-G hotkey came back - 'goto line number'.
[*] Improved speed of Vertical Block Sorting.
[*] It is now possible to save large blocks in editor
[*] Autobrackets facility is working only if the cursor character is space
or the cursor is beyond the end of the current line.
[-] Bug with moving block in "freshly" edited line
[-] Heap memory blocks have not been allocated correctly - it caused
memory losses.
[-] The first line of text file might have been lost while loading within
invalid XMS/EMS environment.
[-] Fixed autowrap - DeltaX allways corresponds to Left Side.
[-] AutoWrap/AutoIndent local and global setting might have been ignored.

Archives
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

[-] Fixed bug, which caused to determine wrongfully some files as ZOO or ARC
archives.
[-] TDRs being extracted from archive for viewing no more stay in temp dir
unerased.

was always tuning ARJ's settings, instead of "Archive Type" checkbox
value of "Archive Files" dialog.
[-] RAR archives with dot-ended directory names (e.g. 'DN.\*.*', created
using 'rar a -r dn dn.' command) are now viewing OK.
[-] Fixed "Swap when unpack/del/test" option in archiver setup. Now an
archiver can be safely called without swapping DN (but in shorter
memory space), and it significally improves the speed of archives
processing.

system crash, until desktop file was not erased from elsewhere.

archive date ('..' entry) became undefined.

large drives and archives/TDRs.
