Version 1.5 [revision 870]
==========================
--------------------------
31 May. 2014
----

* Bootless Star will attempt to check if the program has Administrative\Root access; modules can check the value with the identifier 'Detect_RootAccess'.  When true, the program has Administrative privileges.
* It is now possible for the user to execute multiple modules at once; modules (if enabled) can be executed in their own terminal window.  This can be helpful for:
    1) Multi-tasking
    2) Avoid buggy modules from crashing the parent fork
* The user can now specify which mass copying software they prefer.  However, modules can still overwrite the user's preference.
* If selecting Robocopy as the preferred mass copying software, the program will determine and prompt the user if:
    1) The program is not executed with enough privileges.
    2) If Robocopy could not be detected on the host system.
* Reorganized the settings [control panel] menus
* Revised the compiler; the program has been reorganized - but the overall structure has not changed.
* Fixed a potential security vulnerability when the user is defining a new 7Zip archive key.  The vars: STDIN and working variables were never cleared.
* The user can no longer enable 7Zip key when the key was never defined.
* Revised the compatibility check to be much tighter; the program now demands the %OS% value must be Windows_NT in order for the program to continue further with the execution, instead of MS_DOS that was used before and terminating the program if true.
* When managing the directory setup, undefined variables would not display properly -- An error string will take its place until the value has been declared.
* Revised a few borders that is printed on the screen.
* Reorganized the main menu.
* Modified separators used within the code
* The user now has the ability to customize the switches used in: COPY (intCMD), XCOPY, and ROBOCOPY.  Check the Variables.txt for a complete list of what identifiers are available.

When drivers call the Operation_DriverLogFooter while the user is not logging, opt out of the function besides redirecting the output to NUL and wasting CPU cycles.

Version 1.5.3 [revision 973]
==========================
--------------------------
7 October. 2014

* The program will now properly check to see if the host system has Multithreading capabilities available for 7Zip software.  If the program detects that the host system does now have the capability - the multithreading feature will be disabled, otherwise - it will be enabled.

Added Power State; now possible to enforce the host system to go into hibernation, suspend, or just shutdown the system after a successful operation.
