3.30
* Changed file handling: Extended the Birthday document contents.
  - Name length increased to 50 characters.
  - E-mail address field added to the dialogs and the person list.
* Added some e-mail settings - e.g. links on the HTML documents, links in the
  Congratulations dialog and an extra menu item to send e-mail to the selected people
  in the main list.
* Store the main list's column properties in the Registry. I.e. column sort, column width
  (incl. column "visibility" => hidden column means width = 0) and column order.
* Added display of U.S.A.'s official flag days (except birthdays of states, state holidays
  and other days that may be proclaimed by the President of the United States).
* Changed paper printout. Different layout when landscape orientation is chosen.

3.21
* Rewrote the language/translation functionality using Mikael Holm's mhTransPack
  components. Thank you very much, Mikael.
  His component package can be found on the URL http://mhsoftware.cjb.net/
  Two languages are included within Birthday - English and Swedish.
  In v3.20 I translated Birthday into German. This language is included as a
  separate language file contained in the Birthday package.
  More language files can be found on the Birthday web site.
  There's also a template language file for you to make your own translation,
  if you want. Read the "How to translate Birthday" document for further instructions.
* The control panel's format masks (for date, time and number) are used instead of
  hard-coded ones.
* Added display of Swedish name days and "flag days" for some of the Nordic countries.
* Added "Open most recent file" option to open the file you worked with (or looked
  at) the last time you started Birthday.
  It's the same as clicking the top item in the File menu's recent file list.
* Added "New Name" toolbar button.
* Added a setup/uninstall program for easier distribution and maintenance.
  Removed the parameter option UNINSTALL.

  Syntax: Birthday.exe [[drive:][path]filename] [/onlydialog]

3.20
* Translated into German - another runtime language to choose from.
* Enhanced the birthday reminder option.
* Added option to set up sound to play when displaying the "Birthday Dialog".
* Changed the printout designs - both paper and HTML.
  Also removed the "paper options" since they were obvious to print at all time.
* Added specific age search in the "Find Birthday" dialog.
  Added Document column in the same dialog's "query result list".
  (if searching the control files, the document name is displayed after each name).
* Moved system menu item "Show Birthday Dialog" to the Search menu.
* Added "Display next" menu item to the tray icon's menu.
* Handling of system's regional settings changes.
  - Birthday uses its own settings for e.g. date and time formats.
* Added more info about chinese astrology in the Property dialog.
* Removed the animated menus - they were a bit buggy. Still got the menu pictures though.
* Control files are from now on not removed from the list if they doesn't exist.
  Problems occured when e.g. files located on remote drives was unavailable because they
  had shut down or been removed.
* Added UNINSTALL parameter to be able to remove Birthday from the system (everything but the files).
* Added ONLYDIALOG parameter to enable you to exit Birthday right after the "Birthday Dialog"
  and the reminder message have been displayed.
  The parameter can be added from the Options dialog where you create your shortcuts.
  Alternatively you simply append /ONLYDIALOG to your shortcut's file name and you're ready.

3.00
* Translated into english - possible to choose between swedish and english.
* Printouts - to paper, text file and HTML document

* Possible to choose more than one control file instead of merging files
  (merge function is still there, though).
* The program can run minimized as icon in the notification area of the taskbar (tray) -
  next to the clock.
  (The extra program parameter - G - is not used anymore and is thereby removed.)
  - You can set the Minimize option on the shortcut and it starts in the tray.
  - Schedule to check the control files is added (like the MS System Agent)
  - Option "Display even birthdays" added to remind the user a couple of days in
    advance when people are celebrating an even no. years (i.e. even and half decades).

* Improved age calculation: If person's younger than 1 year, display age in months or days.
* Moved and renamed some menu items.

* Added curiosity in form of astrology (i.e. star signs and the chinese counterpart).
* User manual created (Acrobat PDF format) - both English and Swedish version.
  Help file is removed.
* Fixed bugs:
  - Menu choice "Insert Document" disables Save when No or Cancel is pressed in the Replace dialog.
  - "Insert Document" doesn't add person if No is the answer to the replace question
    and the person doesn't already exist in the list.
  - 29th February - added to query hits only if current year is a leap year.
  - Unable to save files on mapped network drives. Error: "Drive X is write protected".
* Known bugs:
  - Sometimes the application icon is still visible on the taskbar when the program has been
    minimized to the tray. Just restore the window and minimize it again - this is an NT bug.
    Works in Windows 95.
