I'm pleased to announce the release of XWP v1.0.9. It contains over 30 bugfixes
and enhancements from Paul Ratcliffe, myself, and others. Special thanks go to
Mensys for sponsoring some of these improvements.

Among the changes:

- Split View is now fully functional. Both panes should update properly
and all of the menus should work.

- You can now (successfully) set the default view for any file or folder
from its 'Open as' menu using Shift+MB1 on the desired view.

- ACPI shutdown should not leave filesystems dirty any more.

- XFix has been thoroughly revised to make it safer and easier to use.
Handles are no longer deleted immediately and any problems caused
by a pending deletion are flagged so they can be corrected. A new
Auto-Protect feature prevents deletion of any handle the WPS might
require. XFix's help panels have also been completely revised.

The base package plus NLS support packages for German and Dutch can be
downloaded from:
