+Changes in 1.8.1 Beta 1 - Beta 6  (11 nov 2023 -- 09 dec 2023)
+=================================
+
+* NEW: Significant improvement in image management
+   - Support for GIF, PNG, JPG, TIF, BMP, WMF, EMF and ICO  
+   - Several image storage options: EmbeddedRTF, EmbeddedKNT, External (Zip or Folder), ExternalAndEmbeddedKNT
+   - Image viewer
+   - It is possible to change the visibility of the images in the file
+   Options:
+   * ImgDefaultFormatFromClipb, ImgRatioSizePngVsJPG, ImgCompressionQuality, ImgBmpPixelFormat
+   * ImgFormatInsideRTF  
+   * ImgMaxAutoWidthGoal	 
+   * ImgDefaultLinkMode, ImgLinkRelativePath					  					  
+   * ImgUseRecycleBin
+   * ImgSaveInSubfolders, Keep original file name
+   * ImgSingleViewerInstance, ImgHotTrackViewer, ImgViewerPath
+
+   ** A detailed explanation of the image management changes is available in "Images_Readme.txt"
+
+* Drag and drop directly to Editor's content
+  Now it is possible to drag and drop any file into the editor's own content, in a specific position.
+  - A new option is offered from the import window: "Insert content at caret position"
+
+
+* Added option to replace bullets by alternative string when pasting as plain text
+
+    By default, Windows replace bullets by a symbol in Cambria Math (something like a big point) plus a tab character
+    In RTF it is of the form:
+    \f1\u10625?\f0\tab One
+    \f1\u10625?\f0\tab Two
+
+    With the new option is possible to replace the symbol and tab characters by other text. By default it is set to "" (empty string)
+    but can be configured (in keynote.ini) with something like " - ", for example.
+
+    [EditorOptions]
+    ...
+    BulletsInPlainText=" - "
+
+    Issue related: #612 don't copy bullets to other apps
+
+
+* Improvements for profiles management | Profiles\Default | Profiles macros
+	The following improvements have been incorporated to better organize the different files that are used in each profile/session
+	(See the file 'Profiles.txt') :
+
+	- If KeyNote detects the presence of the "Profiles\Default" subfolder within the folder with the executable (keynote.exe), it will
+	  search in that subfolder for the keynote.ini file and the rest of the files (and if they do not exist, it will add them to that
+	  folder according to is requiring it)
+	  The setup program will establish that subfolder to promote better organization of the files, avoiding mixing and confusing those
+	  files with the rest of the application files and with the configurations of other profiles. The rest of the profiles should also
+	  be created within the "Profiles" folder. Ex: "Profiles\F9"
+	  The setup program will appropriately set the permissions for the Profiles folder.
+
+	- The notehead.rtf and nodehead.rtf files so far have not been specific to the profile configuration, but common to all.
+	  From the new version it is possible to customize one or both files from a profile, adding them to the folder containing the
+	  profile's .ini file. If one of these two files is not found in the profile folder, the application will use the one(s) located
+	  in the main profile folder ("Profiles\Default" or the folder that contains the executable).
+
+	- If within the folder with the .ini files there is a subfolder called 'macros' (e.g. "Profiles\F9\macros"), the macros contained
+	  therein will be loaded, taking preference over those loaded from the main macro folder (<exe folder>\macros)
+		- This allows to define different automatic execution macros in each configuration.
+		- When recording new macros it is possible to create them as general or specific to the profile
+
+
+* Fixed: KNT could get hang doing a Search (Find Next or Find All) [IMPORTANT]
+  It would depend on the presence of several hidden marks in the editor (vinculated to new KNT links or images --since 1.8.1),
+  the distance between them and the length of the search term...
+  This error is present since version 1.8.0
+
+* Fixed issue #617: Access violation on exit
+
+  Problem was related to the encoding of file .mgr
+  At the same time has been corrected the names of the files shown in File | Recent file
+  (similar problem, encoding of .mru file)
+
+* Fixed issue #621: "Allow only one instance" not working
+
+* Fixed: Text selection with Shift + left cursor is canceled when crossing a hidden mark
+
+* Fixed: Convert '&quot;' to '"' in title from web pages
+  (Related to commit 'Titles from web pages: convert HTML Ascii codes' (5f9dc27e12))
+
+* Fixed: newly added nodes do not respect the established zoom
+
+* Fixed: New KNT Links could jump to an incorrect position
+
+    KNT links that point to a hidden mark look for a certain pattern and ID bookmark. When the application copies text to the
+    clipboard, it removes the hidden bookmarks. Not doing so could make that if we pasted the text above the one we were pointing to,
+    the link will find the hidden mark before the correct one. (On the contrary, the cutting operation does need that hidden mark.)
+
+    In normal situations, the hidden mark is maintained by the control RichEdit as we inserted it. But I have found that RichEdit
+    can alter some of them, adding control tags within the block that we have bounded between \v and \v0 (actually through {\v....} ).
+
+    (This is a problem only when we are looking for the hidden marks through RTF syntax. In most situations, KNT works directly with
+    hidden characters)
+
+    We may find that an added tag like:
+        ...    \v\''11B2\''12\v0 HELLO
+    it ends up appearing for example as:
+        \v\f0\fs16\lang3082\''11B2\''12\v0 HELLO
+
+    We must convert:
+      "\v\f0\fs16\lang3082\''11B2\''12\v0 HELLO"   ->  "\f0\fs16\lang3082 HELLO"
+
+    * Minor changes (mainly code style), minor correction in AlertMng
+
+    A small reduction in the size of the executable was obtained.
+
+
+* Fixed: Possible exception on exporting (File | Copy To...  or File | Export... with KNT format ) when including plaintext notes
+
+
+* Improvement/correction to the RemoveKNTHIddenCharactersInRTF procedure
+* Other minor adjustments

+Changes in 1.8.1 Beta 6 (09 dec 2023)
+=======================
+
+* Images. Added new ini option: ImgViewerPath
+  Allows to enter an absolute or relative (to keynote.exe) path to an external image viewer
+  As requested in https://github.com/dpradov/keynote-nf/issues/623#issuecomment-1824929978
+
+* Image viewer: added shortcuts for zoom and scrolling
+	Zoom:
+	 +  In
+	 -  Out
+	 *  100%
+	 /  Adjust
+	  (From Numpad. +, - : if used with Ctrl : greater zoom ratio )
+
+	Scrolling:
+	 Cursors      (if used with Ctrl : greater scrolling)
+
+	 Prior, Next : Up/down edge
+	 Home, End   : Left/right edge
+	 Ctrl + Home : Upper left corner
+	 Ctrl + End  : Lower right corner
+
+	Notes:
+	* The increments are greater on Zoom in than on Zoom out
+	* Ctrl can also be used while clicking the zoom in and out buttons
+
+
+* Fixed: Can be difficult to open images inside tables with the internal or an external viewer
+  Problem described here: https://github.com/dpradov/keynote-nf/issues/623#issuecomment-1845791606
+  It is possible to include images in the cells of a RTF table, but due to the behavior of the RichEdit control, it could be difficult
+  to open the image (by double clicking, or Ctr+double clicking) because in many cases not only the image is being selected but other
+  characters in the same cell or row of the board.
+  It was possible to open it, trying again, but difficult. In hidden images mode (seeing the link to the image) this problem does not
+  occur and has always worked correctly.
+  The application is modified to identify and address this situation. Images contained in tables can now be opened normally.
+
+  Important:
+  Images contained in table cells cannot be resized manually, the RichEdit control does not allow it (can be checked with WordPad).
+  Instead it will try to perform a drag and drop action. If the image is moved in this way, you will have to reposition it by cutting
+  and pasting or dragging it again, as you will not be able to Undo.
+  It is possible to modify the dimensions using the 'Restore image[s] proportions' option or by Alt+Click on the image button, while
+  selecting this image. If you need to set a size at will and not depend on the 'Max auto. width on insert', perhaps the simplest thing
+  is to cut and paste the image outside the table, resize it and then reposition it in the table.
+
+
