NOTE: Although this release has been extensively tested and is not expected to break any existing scripts, several low-level performance enhancements were made. If you have any mission-critical scripts, it is recommended that you retest them and/or wait a few weeks for any bugs to get fixed.

Here are the changes for v1.0.45:

Added support for regular expressions via RegExMatch(), RegExReplace(), and SetTitleMatchMode RegEx. [thanks Philip Hazel & PhiLho]

Improved performance and memory utilization of StringReplace.

Improved performance of the := operator for expressions and functions involving long strings.

Improved ControlClick with a new option "NA" that avoids activating the target window (this mode also improves reliability in some cases). In addition, it's been documented that SetControlDelay -1 can improve the reliability of ControlClick in some cases. [thanks nnesori]

Changed GUI buttons to default to "no word-wrap" when no width, height, or CR/LF characters were specified. This may solve button display issues under some desktop themes.

Fixed "Transform HTML" for the following characters: &`n><

Fixed misinterpretation of lines starting with "if not is" such as "if not IsDone".

Fixed inability of "Gui Show" to move a window vertically downward to where its bottommost row of pixels is now.

Fixed inability to use GroupActivate as the only line beneath an IF or ELSE.

Fixed inability of the Input command to differentiate between end-keys enclosed in braces and their (un)shifted counterparts; e.g. '{' vs. '['. [thanks Laszlo]

--------

For anyone using the beta versions announced in the RegEx topic, it is recommended that you upgrade to 1.0.45 because there could be an input/output variable bug depending on the exact version you have.

Wow, the new option for SetTitleMatchMode comes as a (good) surprise!
Great release, much power added!
Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks for the enthusiam. It helps confirm that giving RegEx a high priority was the right choice (I'm never sure exactly what should be the highest priority, so I'm left with guessing).

RegEx support? In AHK? Chris, you're at least 48 days early for that...
Seriously tho, that's just great and will make a huge impact!

(It also comes as kind of a surprise to me, but that's probably because I've been pretty inactive lately. )

Thanks for this new version, Chris.
And, may be it isn't very important, but thanks for the new presentation of the help file...

I just downloaded it, wow it is an easier file to read when I refer to the help file. I like the RegEx too, it helps. Great Work :D:D:D:D

I just noticed the re-designed documentation; great job there too, Czar Chris!
And I'd disagree with Demokos in that I think a well-done documentation is very important. At least for me, the help is probably the most frequently used feature...

Thanks for the feedback on the documentation. John B. here on the forum helped me a lot with getting everything more consistent and better presented.

Here are the changes for v1.0.45.01:

Fixed FileReadLine and FileSelectFile not to crash or misbehave when other threads interrupt them (broken by 1.0.45). [thanks toralf]

Fixed RegExMatch() so that when there's no match, named subpatterns are properly set to "" in the output array. [thanks PhiLho]

Fixed RegExMatch()'s "J" option to properly write duplicate named subpatterns to the output array. [thanks PhiLho]

Changed SetWorkingDir and #Include DirName to succeed even for a root directory such as C: that lacks a backslash.

Improved DllCall() to display a warning dialog if the called function writes to a variable of zero capacity.
