Changed status now shown in tray notification window instead of splash text
Changed tray menu behaviour (e.g. open only when clicking right mouse button)
Changed forced message boxes and GUI to always be on top if enabled in options
Changed Exeinfo PE as replacement for PEiD; PEiD is now only used if file is executable but cannot be recognized by Exeinfo PE
Changed unix file tool handles file detection for common and non extractable filetypes (speed improvements)
Changed order of file scans (if .exe Exeinfo PE first, else TrID)
--> speed improvement, better detection success rate

or manually when clicking on tray icon (experimental)
Changed appendext option now changes the extension of all files scanned by TrID
Changed translation files, removed %s variables and introduced numbered placeholders, that can be switched to
fit a language's word order; added %name shortcut
Changed inno setup extraction to rename ',1' files to avoid extracted programs not finding some files
Changed settings directory: if UniExtract detects insufficient write permissions to its directory,
all settings are stored in %APPDATA%; this way multiple users on the same local system can
also have different preferences
Changed .exe extraction: UniExtract will now terminate with a NOTPACKED error instead of using
generic 7z extraction, which produces useless files
Changed success evaluation: if files were overwritten the extraction was often evaluated as failed
Fixed ressource usage/speed, source code cleanup
Fixed minor bugs and cosmetic issues
Fixed message boxes (more information displayed, silent mode compatibility, correct icons and buttons)
Fixed error detection, error messages now include more details
Fixed context menu integration for limited users (HKCU instead of HKCR)
Fixed general filetype detection (more identification tools, speed improvements, detect more formar unsupported files)
Fixed image file extraction (better detection, extracting without conversation to .iso first)
Fixed extraction of Microsoft hotfix files (newer versions of 7z do not recognize these files correctly)
Fixed general success evaluation (e.g. when overwriting files or aborted by user)
--> checks console output of helper binary, not possible for all extraction methods
Fixed MSI Administrative Installer extraction
Fixed Stuffit extraction failure message although extracted correctly; overwriting existing files
Fixed extraction failure for several .msi, Inno Setup and upx packed files
Fixed output directory field is now autofilling correctly when using drag and drop (optional)
Fixed detection/extraction behaviour for Generic PC disk image (check 7zip first)
Fixed UniExtract now tries to close helper binaries (stop extraction) on exit via tray menu
Fixed NSIS extraction overwriting existing files; UniExtract still creates not useful output files for some custom NSIS installers
but all content is now kept in output directory
Fixed helper binaries execution failing if %comspec% environment variable is unset
Removed obsolete msi2xml binaries, unneeded lzma binary (source)
