What's new in this version:

Added:
- Korean language
- Chinese-Traditional language
- Portuguese-Brazil language
- ability to navigate within folder portals even if "Open folders in separate Explorer process" setting is enabled
- detection of low inter-icon spacing settings, to reduce text overlap within fences in these situations. (HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktopWindowMetrics IconVerticalSpacing settings smaller than -1012 i.e. 135px, vs default of -1125 i.e. 150px)

Fixed:
- an issue where Winkey + D would render Fences folder portal blank
- a crash that could happen on Windows Server 2016
- an issue in the Fences UI where it could render dark in light mode under certain conditions
- issue where some text/checkbox controls would get squished to 1px-wide when returning from minimized state
- minor graphical glitch in Win10 Dark Mode
- issue where hotkeys could get stuck (Fences stuck on top until next hotkey press)
- Folder Portal crash when details-view is used alongside multiple levels of sorting
- issue where double-clicking fence docked to the bottom of the screen would result in errant behavior
- issue where View/Sort menu items in the new Windows 11 desktop menu would not show as properly checked/unchecked in certain circumstances / on recent builds of Windows
- issue where multiple icons pasted to desktop at once could overlap one another
- truncated "days left in your free trial" text with acrylic text drawing (Win11)
- folder icon centering with large fonts

Updated:
- Improved link contrast in dark mode when gray highlight color is selected
- Updated German translations
- Updated some of the core translations for missing strings
- Adjusted rename edit box text positioning
- Updated rules so that link-target rules always apply first
- Improved corner-rounding radius on hotkey "show fences" mode to better match desktop
- Improved hotkey "show fences" performance and reliability
- Improved reliability of Folder Portals to stay pinned to desktop i.e. to not appear over top of other apps
- Removed option to keep fences on top "even after switching windows" during hotkey "show fences" usage, as featured caused compatibility issues with other programs
- Resolved issue where "Lock Fences" menu item did not appear when fence titles were hidden
