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.
• The following features are being removed in the next release, most likely 3.4.0.
  • Edge Style in Columns UI panels.
  • window.IsThemed, window.CreateThemeManager and the IThemeManager interface.
  • IJSGraphics FillGradientRectangle and FillGradientRectangleAdvanced. The standard FillRectangle and all other Draw/Fill methods will support gradients.

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.

3.3.38

• Add date display to Album mode in Smooth Browser. It's not available with the Overlayed text style but is for all others.

3.3.37

• Fix $jsp3_since bug introduced in 3.3.36.

3.3.36

• 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

• Add plman.GetPlaybackOrders.
• utils.LoadImage has been updated with an optional max_size option. The default is 0 which returns the original untouched. If the original image is smaller than a specified max_size, it will be returned untouched.
• Thumbs now defaults to a max_size of 1024px for the main image but this can be changed via the right click menu options.

3.3.33

3.3.32
