----------
0.32
- Added: ML now filters mission names for dots and removes them with underscores, else TDS might not load all necessary assets

- Fixed: Installing missions in zip (since 0.31) and arc-format resulted in modifying hardlinked files instead of overwriting them, which change and modify original game installations

- Fixed: Updating user.ini for Thief 3 FMs failed if user_patch.ini contained lines starting with semicolons




22.12.2010
----------
0.31
- Added: New function for extracting zips, making installations with ML twice as fast as GL.

- Added: ML now checks for operating systems to ensure that symlinks are only used on Vista and above

- Fixed: T2X is now correctly detected when the refresh button is pushed

- Fixed: ML could sometimes fail if the VP3-codec installer was cancelled during T2X installations

- Fixed: ML sometimes created symlinks even though all folders were located on the same drive

22.12.2010
----------
0.30

20.12.2010

----------
0.29a
- Fixed: Importing savegames would fail if there weren't any to import

- Fixed: The run-option for Thief 2 was always set to original




19.12.2010
----------
0.29
- Added: Support for IBT-compressed T3FMs

- Added: Support for native win api calls for creating hard links, allowing Win2000 and Wine users to run ML without the need for having fsutil and making the turbo function unnecessary which thus was removed. This also speeds up ML tremendously.

- Added: Replaced command line oggdec with faster and slimmer oggdec dll

- Added: Option to import DarkLoader and GarrettLoader saves

- Added: Option to use key binds of original game instead of those within savegames




13.12.2010
----------
0.28
- Added: ML now supports T3-FMs containing compressed IBTs

- Added: Should the savegame folder be changed then ML automatically transfers all saves from the old folder to the new one

- Added: A progress bar gives feedback about installation status

- Added: During T3Ed-installation ini files are copied and not hard linked any more.

- Fixed: Updating savegames in arc-format didn't work

- Fixed: Savegames in 7z and zip-format weren't extracted if the save-folder of the FM already contained files




10.12.2010
----------
0.27
- Added: ML now backs up savegames. Check out the readme for more information.

- Added: Support for arc, zip and 7z compression for savegame backup

- Added: ML now memorizes whether you checked turbo during its sessions

- Fixed: Pushing the "Refresh"-button threw an error.

- Fixed: install.cfg didn't include standard path to res-files making T1/G/2 missions crash after installation if no Enhancement Pack was present

- Fixed: "Install"-button now doesn't throw an error if it's clicked and no mission is selected.




06.12.2010
----------
0.26
- Added: installation support for T3Ed

- Added: ML now includes standard paths for the Enhancement Pack for install.cfg-files. This doesn't mean that EP is explicitly supported.

- Fixed: ML didn't create an install.cfg for T1/G/2 for original installs leading to malfunctions and crashes

- Fixed: T3-FMs in arc-format errored out during install if they didn't contain a user_patch.ini




05.12.2010
----------
0.25
- renamed "Game path" to "Game Folder" to make the purpose of the input box more clear

- Added: Turbo-Mode for installation. Check out the readme for more information.

- Added: "Run"-options that apply only to T1/G/2 are invisible now when choosing T3

- Fixed: "Run"-options for T3 where enabled when ML was started with T3 being the start-up option

- Fixed: ML didn't set up T3-FMs properly since 0.23 which resulted in crashes upon T3 loading the FM

- Fixed: ML now correctly reads the path for an installed Thief 2 from the registry (Complete Edition Version)

- Fixed: Using the browse buttons for specifying the mission and mission install folders always resulted in ML starting to open the browse window in the game-folder

- Fixed: ML always chose the widescreen-executable as standard exe if no others were detected, even if a widescreen one wasn't available




04.12.2010
----------
0.24 
- Added: ogg and mp3-files in T1/G/2-FMs are detected and converted automatically. ogg2wav option was removed.

- Fixed: ML aborted an installation if a T3-FM didn't contain a user_patch.ini

- Fixed: non-T3-FMs weren't extracted if they used the arc-format

- Fixed: ML stored T3-relevant values in the dead-end reg-key HKCU\Software\ION StoRM\Thief - Deadly Shadows and never removed them. You can delete the whole key since the one that T3 uses actually sits under HKLM




02.12.2010
----------
0.23
- Added: ML now shows a message during FM-install. It's not pretty. It's not here to stay. Just a quick dirty implementation until I have time adding a progress bar.

- Fixed: Forgot to remove some test messages in the last version which would bug the user for no apparent reason.




02.12.2010
----------
0.22
- Support for rar-compressed FMs has been canned, because it doesn't add any value to ML. Zip is supported because it is the standard format for FMs. 7-zip and Freearc-compression is supported because both are the best end user compressors around. Rar is neither used by FM-authors for archiving, nor does it provide compression that could rival 7z or arc.

- Added: ML now has tooltips for all buttons and boxes

- Added: ML now checks if the FM is installed into the game directory and aborts if that is the case

- Added: ML now properly updates user.ini in T3-FMs with values from user_patch.ini. In the previous version ML merely appended the patch file as a crude workaround which worked for quite a few missions, but of course not all of them.

- Added: ML now copies over the user options for T3-FMs from the original install folder.

- Added: ML replaces Thief3's executable just as Garrettloader does to avoid problems in case you don't have the right version.

- Added: option to convert ogg-files in T3-FMs to wav-files for those who have problems with ogg

- Fixed: extracting arc-files didn't work




30.11.2010
----------
0.21a
- Pure maintenance release: one upack-compressed dll caused a R6002 crash during runtime




30.11.2010
----------
0.21
- Added: Support for separate saves for T3 FMs. They are stored in a directory called "SaveGames" within each installed FM-directory. They also don't interfere with those of the original game. However, they are still deleted upon uninstall, so you need to back them up manually if you want to keep them!

- Fixed: trying to play an FM after restarting ML caused the game executable to crash

- Fixed: T3-counter only incremented after ML restart making it impossible to run all installed T3-FMs but one

- Fixed: on some systems ML would crash with a floating point error if run a second time after having used its T3-functionality

- Fixed: uninstall didn't work for T3-FMs

- Fixed: uninstall-button wasn't available upon program start until the game was switched

- Fixed: Full install didn't work for T3

- Fixed: ML ignored user_patch.ini which lead to crashes in some cases




25.11.2010
----------
0.20
- Added: Support for Thief 3 FMs

- Added: ML now checks if the Thief-directory and the FM install folder are located on the same drive and refuses installation if they aren't

- Added: Modernloader should now recognize TafferPatcher's Thief2.exe

- Added: The Thief 2 executable of "The complete Editon" is detected now (no widescreen detection since it can't be patched)

- Fixed: ML's install.cfg contained the variable cd_path which caused the game to ask for the disc in some cases

- Fixed: Uninstallation performed re-install and uninstall at once




23.11.2010
----------
0.11
- Added: ML removes executables that are entered into the game path. It's the path to the game, not to its executable, so pay attention!

- Fixed: ML's custom darkinst.cfg killed Enhancement Pack's functionality

- Fixed: Installations were allowed even if no path to a mission install-folder was specified.




22.11.2010
----------
0.10
- Added: Support for Thief 1 and Thief Gold added

- Added: multiple mission folders. You can sort your missions now by assigning each game a different source folder for missions. You don't have to, though.

- Added: Separate FM install folders. Now you can specify a different folder for your FM installation.

- Added: Game-separated folders. You can specify a different FM install and source directory for each game.

- Added: ddfix-files are being installed automatically if you choose original install. The separate ddfix-option has been removed for the install section

- Added: added mission list refresh button

- Added: Uninstall button for FM-installations added.

- Fixed: original cutscenes instead those of the FM were played if there were any

- Fixed: Executable scanning would sometimes screw up under certain conditions




18.11.2010
----------
0.02 
- Fixed: fixed path browse buttons

- Fixed: fixed a bug that wouldn't allow for spaces in the thief mission folder name
