3.3.x

3.3.40

• Adding utils.RemoveFolderRecursive in 3.3.35 accidentially broke Windows 7 support so it has been temporarily removed in this release. But that makes this the last version compatible with Windows 7.

3.3.39

• This reverts the rendering rewrite in 3.3.30. It has been buggy for a few users when used in tab stacks.

• Minor improvement to the formatting of strings returned by $jsp3_since added in 3.3.35.

3.3.35

• Add utils.RemoveFolderRecursive.
• Add $jsp3_since title format function. Supply it with a date string in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format and you'll get a return value like 44wk 2d. If the difference is less than 24 hours, it will return 0d. This is not available globally, only in JScript Panel 3. For people not creating their own scripts, it can be used in JS Playlist custom columns or in Text Display.

3.3.34
