• Character Map for Encodings (2026-03-27): In the CodePage Selection Window (button "..." next to the code page selection box) as well as via the context menu of the code page selection box (menu item "Character Map"), now a character map of the selected encoding can be displayed, in which the character assignment of this code page can be seen. In addition to displaying the character positions, the character table also allows you to search for characters using their code points or by directly entering the respective character.
• Language Settings (2026-03-13): Display of the language in the current application language as a mouseover over the language name in the national language.

In this dialog you will find on the left side the list of the available or filtered code pages with the additional information "Name", "Family", "Alphabet", "Region", "Byte length", "Base/Areas", "Number of characters" as well as "Aliases" (which can also be sorted using the column headers) and on the right there are filters for the name, the family (Windows, Mac, DOS, KOI,...), the alphabet (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Georgian, Armenian, Thai,...), the region, the byte length (Single Byte 7 Bit / 8 Bit, Multi Byte 2 Byte / 4 Byte / Variable), the base (ASCII, EBCDIC,...), supported codepoint ranges (Basic Latin, Basic Multilingual Plane, Combining Diacritical Marks, Euro Sign...), supported languages, supported characters (including a selection via codepoint ranges) as well as number of characters (min, max; code pages with unoccupied positions; code pages that use all positions). In the options, you can additionaly find a switch with which you can determine whether all code page aliases should be listed individually or whether each encoding should only appear once in the list without showing their alias names.
• New Code Page Filter (2026-01-09): Independent of the existing code page filters, you can now also filter for "ASCII-based code pages only", "EBCDIC-based code pages only" or "All code pages".
