 # MultiPar
 
-v1.3.1.5 is public
+v1.3.1.8 is public
 
- This version has some trial functions. 
-I fixed some problems of previous versions. 
-Though I tested the behavior on my PC, 
-there may be a bug in other environments or in a rare case. 
-Be careful to use this version for daily usage. 
-When you want a stable version, 
-you should not use this new one until other users try. 
-Unless you have a problem, v1.3.0.7 or v1.3.1.3 might be safe. 
-If you see a strange behavior, odd problem, or failure, 
-please report the incident to me. 
-I will fix as possible as I can. 
+ This is minor bug fix version. 
+Though I updated many files, most users don't see the difference. 
+Because there may be a problem still, I didn't set this version as stable yet. 
+When I cannot re-produce a problem nor test a behavior myself, it's difficult to solve. 
+If there is no serious problem, next version will be the last of v1.3.1 tree. 
+When you see a bug, odd incident, or strange behavior, please let me know. 
+I will fix as possible as I can.
 
- I increased max block size from 1 GB (old versions) to 2 GB (new version). 
-This change is for rare case. 
-Normally users should not set so large block size in most case. 
-For compatibility, setting less than 100,000,000 bytes = 95 MB is good. 
-Be careful, MultiPar cannot treat too large block size properly. 
-When you have a set of PAR2 files with more than 2 GB block size (such like 4 GB), 
-par2cmdline may support them. 
-I adjusted some GUI components for big numbers. 
-If you see something bad in your language UI, please let me know. 
+ I changed the order of files in Windows 10 style. 
+It treats digits as numbers in filenames. 
+Though the method was introduced from Windows 7, I didn't change for compatibility. 
 
- I implemented a function to calculate MD5 hash of multiple files at verifying source files. 
-It seems to be faster on SSD. (I cannot test the speed by myself.) 
-But, it is slow on HDD. 
-It detects your drive type and switches function automatically. 
-If it fails and happens to be slow on your PC, 
-please report your case. 
-Because I don't know SSD's property so much, I will need help of users. 
-Thanks John L. Galt for tests and bug report on SSD. 
-
- There was a bug in v1.3.1.4, and created PAR2 files happened to contain broken packets. 
-MD5 hash of some packets were wrong. 
-When a file size was multiple of block size, the problem occurred. 
-Such PAR2 files are shown as damaged on MultiPar verification, 
-and v1.3.1.4 could not verify source files without checksum packets. 
-I fixed the bug in v1.3.1.5, and it can verify source files now. 
-Though it's possible to use such broken PAR2 files (created by v1.3.1.4), 
-you would better recreate new PAR2 files with this new version. 
-I'm sorry for the inconvenience. 
-Thanks nutpantz for this bug report. 
-
- When you created many PAR2 files (more than 512), verification had failed in previous versions. 
-I (and many users) didn't see this bug for long time. 
-Normally people don't create so many PAR2 files. 
-Thanks Martin Klefas-Stennett for finding this rare problem. 
+ Windows 10 supports multiple monitors with different DPI. 
+The method is called as PerMonitorV2 in application manifest. 
+I implemented the way, and MultiPar would be less blurry on a secondary monitor now. 
+Because I cannot test the behavior myself, I'm not sure it works on each user's case. 
+If someone sees a problem on his PC, please report the incident with a screen-shot. 
+Thanks John L. Galt for many tests on multiple monitors.
