As I consider the interface for the ShellBrowserControls to be complete, I’ve decided to release an update of ExplorerListView. The changes are massive. There are new features like group footers, subsetted groups and grouping in virtual mode. Other features have been improved, e. g. there is an extended full row selection mode now. Of course I have also fixed bugs.
Unfortunately I had to break compatibility, but that’s why the previous release was labeled as a beta.
By the way, the ShellBrowserControls library currently is in final tests.
I have released version 1.1.2 of ComboListBoxControls. It fixes two bugs.
I’ve released version 1.5.0 of ButtonControls. Now it’s possible to apply Unicode strings at design time and to share a single image list between multiple controls without losing the capability of using different icons for each control. Although this sounds like only a small improvement, it required me to write a lot of code.
I have released version 1.1.1 of ComboListBoxControls. It fixes two bugs and adds a new property page for specifying Unicode texts at design time.
I have released version 1.3.0 of the TrackBar control. It fixes a serious bug, adds a new property and comes with a new VB6 sample.

ExplorerTreeView 1.x isn’t dead yet, just a bit rusty. 
I’ve released version 1.15.0 which has some performance improvements and – more important – runs much more stable. Many thanks to Christian Lütgens for helping me nailing down the AutoUpdate crashes by providing helpful crashdumps and bug reports.
Speaking of crashdumps, ExplorerTreeView 1.x comes with (stripped) debug symbols now.
I’ve released a second release candidate of ExplorerTreeView 2.0.0. I made some compatibility breaking changes to improve performance and to avoid incompatibilities with other controls of mine. You should read the changelog to see what has changed in detail and how your code needs to be changed. I think most of you will get away with a simple recompile.
Now to the better part of this release 
You can now specify whether you want Aero drag images or classic style drag images. I’ve also implemented two new events that are raised if the sort order is changed. And of course I’ve fixed bugs.
Under the hood, I’ve worked hard on the interface for the yet-to-be-released shell browser controls. I consider it to be complete.
I have some more releases for you. All four are bugfix releases. Like announced yesterday, I’m shipping stripped debug symbol files (*.pdb) now.
Happy new year!
I’ve released updates of Animation, ButtonControls, ComboListBoxControls, DateTimeControls and EditControls. The ComboListBoxControls update is a larger one and includes a new feature. The other updates contain minor fixes and tweaks only.
I’ve also started to ship stripped debug symbol files (*.pdb) with the binaries. This will give you more detailed stack traces when creating crash dumps or debugging your program with a symbolic debugger like Visual C++.

I found time earlier than expected, so I could finish ComboListBoxControls. I fixed some bugs, completed the feature set and added two C++ samples. Unfortunately I had to break compatibility – but it’s better to do this two weeks after the initial release than after one year.
