───────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
■ New features
User can select the name of the description file. Handy if you run a BBS
that uses "files.bbs".
■ Bugfixes/code improvements
Run async on multi in the user function config had no effect in 'real life'.
Changed progress dialog loader method to feature a seamaphore. This should
prevent occational PM lockups from happening.
Overwrite and Overwrite All should cause no more PM/DirMaster freezes/crashes.
A bug in the configuration caused the "Show descript.ion" setting to always
follow the "Show EA data" setting.
Fixed a HUGE bunch of bugs in the drag&drop code.
Got rid of a bug that caused DirMaster to crash occationally after file
operations.
The casesensitivity choice in the Search function didn't work properly.
Some additional bugs and quirks fixed too.

───────────────┴────────┘
■ Bugfixes/code improvements
Forgot to remove some MMPM beta code in v2.10. This caused DirMaster
to fail to load on computers without MMPM installed. Sorry!
