1. #436, Add new command option -basic_features to disable controversial features such as webpage commander introduced in version 5.5x, instant restore new window pos (5.6x), window pos swap using Alt + Click background (5.72)
2. Improve robustness of window swap by Alt + Click feature introduced in 5.72.

1. New feature: Swap the position of the foreground window with a background window by Alt + Click the background window.
- This feature is useful after updating multi-window apps like google chrome, when window positions are incorrectly swapped due to failure of PW to match new window with killed one.
- The foreground and background window must share the same process name.
- This feature can be turned off by command option -swap_window_pos_when_alt_activate=0
2. #435, add uninstall.bat script to remove auto-start task and high-dpi registry (created by auto start script) and private application data directory (created by PW). User still need to manually delete the unzipped PW dir.
3. Fix crash and exceptions.

Improve #421 fix in 5.70 pre-release : New explorer window is not restored to snapped position.

1. Fix #412, remove dead code causing false alarm from anti-virus software
2. Fix data race causing exceptions
3. Fix restore failure due to using disqualified capture

1. [#411, #388] Add command option -no_inherit_process "EXCEL.exe;javaw" to disable auto restore new window for Excel and javaw processes
2. [#384] Add command option -restore_disk_capture ["name_of_capture"] to restore windows from (named) capture on hard drive and then exit. If "name_of_capture" is omitted, the default anonymous disk capture is assumed. Note that a second restore using the same command line is needed to restore position/size of new windows launched in the first restore.
3. Fix missing auto restore due to Windows .NET Framework randomly fail to deliver display config changed event to PW.
4. [#408] Fix more exceptions.
5. Avoid auto capture and restore in full-screen gaming mode.

5. Lower CPU load when new windows are created at crazy speed (by user or Windows OS itself)

1. Fix #403, 5.65 crash due to empty record in xml dump.
2. Fix #399, Version upgrade notice now shows only once.
3. Fix #388, Fixed the lag of auto restore new window. Improved matching of new window to killed one for Java applications like jEdit.
4. Ctrl + Close window to permanently forget its position history
5. Reduce the chance of wrong window matching by flushing out history of killed window more than 30 days old.
6. Support persistence of dual-position-switching window,
7. Fix full-screen rdp window disappears when unminimize, due to invalid coordinates reported by Windows.
8. Attempt to fix failure to restore after full-screen game play, due to missing event notification from Windows.

1. Enable -auto_restore_new_window_to_last_capture after fixing bugs (#369, #388, #392, #400). To demonstrate the feature, open a dos cmd window, move and close it, and open a new cmd window again, and the new window should be relocated to last killed position.
2. PW in-app upgrade is broken on windows 11, manually install 5.65 to fix it.
3. Speedup auto restore of new jEdit view window.
4. Speedup PW startup auto restore after PC reboot.

2. Fix dead-loop trimming position history due to data corruption triggered by wrong window matching.
3. Turn off auto restore existing windows during PW startup if computer is up more than 5 minutes, indicating user is upgrading/restarting PW and not expecting the auto-restore.
4. Tentative fix for bug #395 (auto restore fail to start when display config changes) introduced since 5.6x
5. Keep webpage commander window inactive when user enters text on web page.

2. Fix wrong matching of new and closed window

2. #351, Fix crash upon capture windows to disk on Windows11 24H2 fresh install.
3. #352, Add command option -capture_floating_window to restore IntelliJ floating window.
