Upgrade Notes

Changes in bbLean 1.17 that are incompatible with previous versions.

bbkeys.rc:

@BBCore.ShowMenu will now always show at mouse position by default. To keep existing behaviour with menus invoked by the keyboard, use the -key or the -toggle switch:

@BBCore.ShowMenu -key root

menu.rc:

[insertpath] does not remove duplicate items anymore. To merge two folders, use instead:

[path] (label) {folder1|folder2}

bbLeanSkin.rc:

Now uses a dash to separate left from right buttons:

bbleanskin.titlebar.buttons: 4-321

bsetroot.rc:

Now uses simple searchpaths instead of wildcards. See bsetroot.rc
