Version 2.6

• Fixed handling of emojis in text frames (#20)
• Fixed a potential crash triggered by effects with the "hide after playing" property set
• Added support for custom slideshows, which are sometimes used to define named slide subsets that can later be printed to PDF: now they are updated to include all the relevant slides that are added after splitting

Version 2.5

Fixed several bugs which improve handling of hyperlinks and specific emphasis effects:

• fixed handling of hyperlinks pointing to the previous or next slide
• fixed handling of hyperlinks pointing to invalid slide indices
• fixed handling of effects with the hide after animation flag set
• improved handling of emphasis effects having a temporary effect
• prevented a crash when running on an empty presentation

Version 2.4

• Introduced support for cross-slide hyperlinks
• (Mostly) fixed handling of text highlighting

Version 2.3

• Worked around a failure occurring in rare cases when animation effects are applied to empty paragraphs. Fixes #16.

Version 2.2

• Fixed a bug causing a fatal error during the initialization stage in the presence of emphasis animation effect with a target shape color picked from the slide scheme colors
• Improved reporting of errors during the initialization stage
• Updated regression tests to check a few more cases

Version 2.1

• Minor bug fixes
• Restored full operation in PowerPoint 2007

Version 2.0

This is (finally) a major release.

Among the highlights:

• eliminated the need to use the system clipboard: the core engine has been redesigned to work without interfering with it; this should address issues such as #3, #7, and #12
• splitting a selection of non-contiguous slides is now supported
• text paragraphs containing plain text as well as equations are now supported
• added a full regression test suite in file PPspliT.pptm
• dropped a few known limitations (see this file to learn which ones)
• other changes better documented in the changelog

Version 1.27

• Shape AlternativeTexts are now preserved: data is stored inside Tags instead (implements #11)
• Slightly enlarged the About dialog box in order to better accommodate text on high-DPI displays

Version 1.26

• Fixed a crash when processing animations applied to empty text paragraphs
• Improved About dialog boxes (switched from a text box to a text label and added hyperlinks)

Version 1.25

• Fixed alignment of text paragraphs in some corner cases

Note: PPT11- release is unchanged but had its version number updated accordingly.
