And what about what changed from 1.91 to 1.92 ?
I'm sure there must have been an annoucement on the forum but I think it isn't there now.
I did download version 1.92 but never installed it, and because I have the .exe version of the release I cannot (?) access the whatsnew.txt inside.
Also there is an "History" page on the XnView site but it's more of a "What's New" page.
Anyway, for someone (me) who is upgrading from 1.91.6 to 1.93.4, all that is in between may be history but it's all new. New features, new changes and fixes and the odd new
, to keep things interesting
(I can only joke about this because I know bugs in XnView don't survive long. Thank Pierre for that.)
