Changes in 2.2.1:

• Portable mode available

Changes in 2.2:

• Updated code library; chiefly this resolves some glitches with text fields
• Update check button in the About dialog

Changes in 2.2b2:

• Colour cells draw in correctly in Windows classic theme (and “correctly”, even if not natively, in Windows themes).
• Corrected encoding error in the About window.

Changes in 2.2b1:

• Copy and paste of colours now supports additional formats (hex without a leading hash, CSS RGB, and plain RGB tuple; in the last case, copy uses space as a delimiter, while paste accepts whitespace, commas, or commas followed by whitespace for delimiters).
• Favourite colour sets can now be renamed.
• Two-colour blend result colour can now be clicked to copy the result to the main colour area.
• The program is now fully Unicode-aware.
• Within the favourite colour set creation dialog box, the copy-colours-from dropdown list defaults to the active set.
• Paste item appears, disabled, in colour context menus as a hint that paste is permissible when applicable.
• Preferences now saved into XML format file instead of old proprietary binary format.
• “Web-safe” removed from name of colour palette as, while the colours are the same, the terminology is rather outdated.
• Colour controls have pseudo-native borders in Windows 8, though at the moment, some controls are still completely non-native.
• [Fix] No longer requires administrator rights to run.
• [Fix] When checking the clipboard contents for valid colour data, whitespace is trimmed first.
• [Fix] Clipboard access should now behave itself properly.

Changes in 2.1.4:

• The About box is significantly overhauled in OS X, and fixed in Windows.
• [X] The superfluous Help menus are removed.

Changes in 2.1.3:

• Dialog boxes have been improved in for all platforms.
• [X] The font size selector pop-up displays its value again.

Changes in 2.1.2:

• [Win32] Preferences now stored in %APPDATA%\Telcontar and will be moved there on first run
• [Win32] The window position is no longer lost if you close the app while it’s minimised
• [Win32] Various interface tweaks
• [Mac] Contextual menu in the add favourite dialog text box (it won’t work in Windows for no reason)
• [Mac] Better textbox keyboard navigation

Changes in 2.1.1:

• [Win32] The selector window now has its much-needed minimise button!
• [Win32] The fonts drop-down menu is now sorted into alphabetical order
• [Win32] I have added a few workarounds to the abominable window positioning in the Windows version; I have no idea why it is so bad (it is not my fault, the Macintosh version is fine) but it is somewhat improved now
• The active favourite set is memorised for when Colour Selector is next loaded.

Changes in 2.1 (not including 2.1 betas):

• The set creation and delete confirmation dialogs now appear in a more sensible place
