• Major reworking of internal decision making logic [#242]
• New WebCopy projects will default to saving headers
• The sitemap tree now limits the number of child elements to a maximum of 100 by default [#402]. This setting can be changed in the application options

• Reworked setting validation
• Rule expressions are now validated before crawling a site
• WebCopy no long treats URLs as case-insensitive for new projects

Fixed

• The Move Down button was incorrectly enabled when adding a new password entry, causing a crash if clicked [#394]
