Change: General performance and stability improvements
Change: Code signing now uses SHA256 for compatibility with future Windows Updates
Change: Added an "Our Apps" tab to the settings window with details about other great Binary Fortress apps (you can disable this tab in the Advanced Settings if you don't want it)

Changed: Improved update notification
Changed: Added an icon to represent the hash comparision result (grey/green/red)
Changed: Multiple file loading from the context menu now works as expected on slower machines

Changed: Added an update check notification
Changed: Added a second progress bar to indicate total progress, not just file progress
Changed: In Windows 7 the taskbar button now shows the total progress
Changed: Hashes are now compared when manually setting a "compare hash", not just after hashing
Fixed: Multiple instance detection now works much better

Changed: HashTools is now a single-instance application, meaning anytime you click "Hash with HashTools" it will add the file(s) to the already running instance of HashTools
Changed: You can now manually add a hash to compare by right-clicking a file in the list and selected "Set Compare Hash"
Changed: The default folder for an SFV file is now the common root of the files in the list
Fixed: No more interface flicker when resizing and scrolling the file list
Fixed: CRC32 hashes for 0 length files are now correct

Changed: Completely new interface
Changed: Can generate and check hashes for multiple files and folders (with sub-folders)
Changed: Can now read and process SFV files
Changed: Can now create an SFV file for your selected files
Fixed: Couldn't cancel CRC32 hash generation
Fixed: Various interface glitches

Changed: Expanded the main window buttons to make the interface less cramped
Changed: Installer can now create desktop icon and Windows context menu entries
Fixed: "Add/Remove Context Menu Items" now works correctly in Windows Vista and Windows 7
Fixed: Installer now removes Windows context menu entries during uninstall

Changed: Now looks for hash in "filename.ext.hash", not "filename.hash" (ex: MyFile.iso.sha1 for a SHA1 hash)
Changed: Updated icons to make it consistent with other Binary Fortres Software applications
Changed: Replaced the hash comparing message boxes by changing the textbox background colour instead (more subtle, less intrusive)
Fixed: Properly stops hashing if the application is closed before hashing has completed

Changed: Supports drag/drop of files for hash generation
Changed: Now shows the files exact size in the results window along with the hash
Changed: Automatically loads matching hash files for comparision

For example: "MyFile.sha1" would load automatically if it exists when generating a hash for the file "MyFile.iso"

Changed: Top menu to make the interface more consistent and simpler to use
Changed: Application and Installer are now fully signed for better Windows Vista compatibility
Fixed: Some spelling mistakes
