ver. 3.5.1

- SVG Text Editor: fixed the icons of the side menu and of the toolbar, missing when the editor was started without files (also in the Preview Panel).
- Removed the obsolete Windows10 styles; on Windows 10 the default style is now "Windows Modern" (light) or "Windows Modern SlateGray" (dark), and a stored style no longer available falls back to the default one.
- Settings, Theme page: every available style is offered, classified as light or dark automatically ("Windows Modern" and "Windows Modern SlateGray" were missing).
- About: copyright updated to 2026.
- Version aligned to 3.5.1 on every project and on the setup.

ver. 3.5.0

- SVG Text Editor: new Color palette panel under the editor, showing the colors used in the SVG text (presentation attributes, style attributes and `<style>` blocks; hex, rgb(), rgba(), hsl(), hsla() and named colors), grouped by color with the number of occurrences and a hint with value, properties and opacities.
- SVG Text Editor: click on a palette color to highlight all its occurrences in the text; move between them with Alt+Right / Alt+Left or with the arrow buttons of the palette.
- SVG Text Editor: the palette marks the color under the editor caret.
- SVG Text Editor: double-click on a palette color to replace the color under the caret, keeping its notation (hex, rgb(), hsl(), name) and opacity, or to insert it at the caret.
- SVG Text Editor: palette context menu to replace all the occurrences of a color, select them with multiple carets, copy the color value, add or remove custom colors.
- SVG Text Editor: custom colors added with the color picker, kept for all files and shared with the custom colors of the color picker.
- SVG Text Editor: option in Settings to show or hide the color palette; its height is remembered.
- Added the Google Skia (Skia4Delphi) SVG rendering engine, beside Image32 and Direct2D: it can be selected in Settings ("SVG rendering options") and is used by the Preview, the Thumbnails and the SVG Text Editor.
- SVG Text Editor: the "Automatic check" option for new versions and its interval in days are respected again: the check ran at every startup, also when disabled.
- Fixed a typo in the message of the new version available.
- The web help link of the About dialog points to the new documentation site https://ethea.it/docs/svgtools/.
- Version aligned to 3.5.0 on every project and on the setup.

ver. 3.4.2

- Fixed a GDI handle and memory leak in the Thumbnail provider: the bitmap handed over to Explorer was released incorrectly, so every generated thumbnail leaked resources inside the Explorer process.
- The shared resources data module is now a single instance created on demand, instead of one created and destroyed by every preview.
- Fixed the preview of ANSI-encoded SVG files, which produced an empty pane.
- SVG Text Editor: files whose extension is uppercase (.SVG) can now be opened. The check was a case-sensitive substring search, which also wrongly accepted names ending in ".xm" or ".s".
- SVG Text Editor: the SVG is no longer re-parsed at every keystroke.
- SVG Text Editor: fixed memory-management defects on the file-opening error path.
- SVG Text Editor: closing with unsaved changes can now be cancelled;
- SVG Text Editor: removed the Help button from the error dialog, which did nothing; the WM_COPYDATA payload is now bounded in size.
- The new-version check runs in background at startup instead of blocking the interface, tolerates release tags without the leading "v", and no longer crashes when the download starts right after the automatic check.
- Web help now points to https://ethea.it/componenti/svgshellextensions/, while the Issues button and the new-version check point to GitHub.
- Fixed the Debug configuration of the SVG Text Editor and SVGToPNG projects, which could not be built at all.
- Version aligned to 3.4.2 on every project, on the setup and on this document: SVG Text Editor still declared 3.4.0, and therefore offered an update to a version older than the installed one.
- Reduced the size of the thumbnail log and removed unused code.
