[New Features]

• Add a tool: Risingware i-Desktop
  Add a Windows desktop replacement extending your current desktop and containing more shortcuts to end clutter. With this tool, you can:
  - Customize desktops to house shortcuts by category. Each desktop can be set with a distinct banner and background.
  - Customize shortcuts which can be created by dragging and dropping files or applications here.
  - Initialize an embedded tool of Risingware Exp+.
• Add options for system layout
  - To render a simpler UI, Exp+ now provides three options for program layout, File Manager Mode, Web Browser Mode, and Export Mode, which blends the former two and is the only one choice before.
  - You may switch the system layout in General pane of Exp+ Setup Center window or access one of these from Risingware i-Desktop, the new tool.
• Add flexibility to set which panes in Navigation Panel to display
  Under Export Mode, you can go to Exp+ Setup center and set which panes in Navigation Panel to display.

[Improvements]

  Add a blank page as a setting option besides the Start page to be opened when closing out all tabs to improve the performance of this task
• Improve access to Help file
  - The Exp+ help file has been embedded to Exp+ program UI, so you can expand or collapse its content pages in Navigation Panel.
  - When first initialing Exp+, a welcome page of Help Center will display to guide you through.
  - Using hotkey F1 while using a main tool or function of Exp+ will open its help page in a new tab.
• Improve Open Items Selectively function for Favorites and Groups
  You can now make invert selection when selectively opening items of a favorite or a group. In this way, these items can be opened partially in one panel, and the rest to the other.

[Bug Fixes]

• Fix Web Browser
  The drag and drop of a link in a few web pages didn't succeed in opening it. This problem has been fixed.
• Fix File Manager
  - Occasionally, an Advanced File Search window would be opened in background. This problem has been fixed.
  - After setting files of a file type to be opened by Exp+, the screen flickered whenever one of those were opened. This problem has been fixed.
• Fix General Functions
  - If the tab to be opened when closing out all tabs was set in Exp+ Setup Center to be a Start Page, an action of closing out all tabs might cause Exp+ to halt. This problem has been fixed.
  - Clicking on a Visited Folders button or on a Visited Webpages button didn't open its drop-down menu due to no such tabs having been opened before. This problem has been fixed.
  - Occasionally, the change in the width of Navigation Panel was not saved successfully. This problem has been fixed.
  - A few Exp+ processes in the Task Manager was not closed after the exit of Exp+. This problem has been fixed.
  - Exp+ saved the selection of some checkboxes in Open Items Selectively window used to open favorites and groups despite the exit without even opening these items. This problem has been fixed.
