Changes for v2019 (19.2) - v2019 (19.3)

[+] Ransomware Detection: If WebSite-Watcher detects Ransomware on your PC, it will stop running WSW tasks, lock and protect as many important WSW files as possible, and you will get notified via user interface, by e-mail or via Pushover. This feature is disabled by default and can be turned on in the program configuration (Advanced + Ransomware Detection).
[+] Send status messages via Pushover, for example when e-mails could not be sent. If you use WebSite-Watcher 24/7 on a server and if you're a Pushover user, then this is a very quick way to get notified on your phone when a problem occurs.
[+] Browser integration via WSW eye button: WebSite-Watcher can grab URLs from all main browsers without installing an extra browser extension (if you have used the browser extension previously, you can remove it from your Internet Browser).

If this option is enabled, WebSite-Watcher will use absolute URLs for images in HTML mails, independently if you download images to your hard disk when checking bookmarks. This option is enabled by default and can dramatically reduce the size of HTML mails. Also Facebook/Twitter/Instagram bookmarks will benefit from that option.

For example if you use WebSite-Watcher on your PC and on your notebook, you can easily synchronize your bookmark database via the Cloud. All data stored in the Cloud is encrypted with AES-256.

The limit of one check at a time is no longer required and the checks work similar to the Standard checking method. Only Internet Explorer Macros per top level domain are limited to one check at a time. So if you have many bookmarks which use "Internet Explorer/Browser", you might see a huge performance improvement!
[+] Performance improvement: HTTPS bookmarks from the same domain can be checked with simultaneous connections. So if you have many HTTPS bookmarks from the same domain (eg. facebook.com), you might see a huge performance improvement! Default value: 3 connections per domain.
[+] Black/Whitelist for RSS feeds to include/exclude certain articles
[+] New option to ignore RSS feed article bodies

Bookmark properties / Merge pages: It's possible to merge the first x pages from search results (or the last few pages with new content from forum topics) to a single page. This works for URLs that have a parameter that defines the page, eg. http://www.domain.com/search.php?text=abc&page=13

Bookmark properties / Options: Bookmarks can optionally be opened in the "Text" tab or in the "Analysis" tab of the internal browser

Export/Import from Excel: New fields, amongst other things fields to ignore updates via black/whitelist
Send e-mails: Advanced rules for sending (optional, can be used as alternative to send e-mails after each check run)
Send e-mails: Global black list to suppress e-mail sending. If a page contains a defined entry of the global black list, then an e-mail is not sent. For example if a page contains the text "could not connect to database".

If an AutoWatch countdown is active while the system turns into hibernation, WebSite-Watcher will wait at least 15 seconds before the next AutoWatch check is started after the system returns from hibernation. This gives Windows some time to re-establish network connections before the next AutoWatch check run is started after hibernation. The default value of 15 seconds can be customized via the program tweak "MinAutoWatchSecondsAfterHibernation".
program configuration / new tweak "ReopenTabsAfterCrash=0": If WebSite-Watcher crashes, then the next start will show a dialog to re-open the last opened browser tabs. This tweak suppresses that dialog and don't re-open browser tabs.
Bookmark properties / RSS / Ignore articles older than: The minimum number of days is now 1 (30 in previous versions)
Some conflicts with "Open in external browser" (Shortcuts Ctrl+F11 and Ctrl+Shift+F11) fixed. By default, Ctrl+Shift+F11 is now Ctrl+Shift+0, if you have customized your shortcuts, then this change doesn't affect your shortcut configuration.

Internet Explorer Macros: New option to automatically delete cookies of the checked domain before executing the macro (This can be required if certain steps (eg. a login) are suppressed or skipped as soon as a cookie is available.

Assign bookmark properties (program configuration or per folder): Pre-define some special filters
Assign bookmark properties (program configuration or per folder): Pre-define check technology
Bookmark action "Export page": New format "Webpage, complete" to also export related CSS and image files (these files are exported into a folder with extension ".files". If the export filename is "test.htm", then exported CSS/image files are stored in "test.files")
Internet Explorer Macros: Pure Javascript hyperlinks supported
Internet Explorer Macros: Comboboxes with Javascript actions supported
Pdf/Word/Excel plugins are now assigned automatically when a pdf/word/excel file is loaded after a redirection from a html page (in previous version it was only possible to automatically assign a plugin when the URL contained the correct file extension).
Plugin IDE has now a sensitive help. When the cursor is placed on a function, event function or a statement, then F1 jumps directly to the related help topic.
Plugin IDE / Code completion via Ctrl+Space: Several new features and sensitive help added.
Plugins / New functions to maintain stringlists, eg. functions to insert, change or delete specific items. All functions related to stringslists start with "StringList_". More information and an enhanced example can be found in the help file.

Scrolling with the mouse wheel works when the cursor is over the control (folder tree, bookmark list, web browser), it's no longer required to click the control before
Image configuration: WebSite-Watcher can now optionally show embedded flash videos if absolute image addresses or image downloading is enabled (in previous versions, embedded flash videos were always displayed but this could slow down opening certain bookmarks).

Script IDE: Code completion via Ctrl+Space added
Script IDE has now a sensitive help. When the cursor is placed on a command, then F1 jumps directly to the related help topic of that command.
Follow-Links runs more smoothly and no longer blocks the main application
New Tweak: "CreateHighlightedChangesInBackground=1": By default, WebSite-Watcher calculates and generates the file with highlighted changes as soon as you open a bookmark. If this option is enabled, then WebSite-Watcher creates the files with highlighted changes immediately while bookmarks are checked. This will speed up opening changed bookmarks, but the check run will consume more memory and resources. It's not recommended to use this tweak if you often re-check changed/unread bookmarks without opening them after each check.
New Tweak "SavePageWhenNoKeywordsFound=1": By default, WebSite-Watcher doesn't save a page to your hard disk when keywords are entered in Update-on-keywords but no keyword is found within new/changed content. With that tweak, a page is also saved to your hard disk when none of the entered keywords is found.
New Tweak "UseStaticTrayIconHint=1": Shows the static text "WebSite-Watcher" as trayicon tooltip instead of dynamically generated information about check/update status.
Report/Export: New field {wsw_url_date_created}
The old-looking floating InfoWin has been re-designed and shows more information now. It has also been renamed to "Update-Ticker".
