New in 5.0.0.0
1. A completely new, skin based GUI (Graphical User Interface), with 16 different skins included.
2. FTP Engine completely rewritten.
3. Explorer-like Script browser for fast and easy access to your scripts.
4. A better, faster Script Editor, which can have multiple scripts open at the same time, and highlights the code in a convenient way.
5. Improved Script Compilation. Performer no longer needs the PWRXENH.BIN to compile scripts to EXE, compilation speed is much faster, and stand-alone executable are skinned as well.
6. Improved printing. Performer now offers a print preview, as well as numbered lines.
7. New functionalities:
- Database support using ODBC, .udl files, or manually configured connection strings.
- ActiveX support for easy extending Performers already extensive features.
- Registry support to store information in Windows' registry instead of using the 'old fashioned' .ini files.
