What's new in this version:

- Added two new toolbar buttons for quick access: "Refresh" and "Show Only Items Affected by Renaming Criteria", positioned next to the path bar
- Added Tag Name display in the 'Show List of File Properties' and 'Show EXIF Info' windows
- Added new program preference: "At startup, recall the last used criteria if no favorite file (.bru) is active, instead of starting with blank criteria". This can be set to Yes (default) or No.
- Added new program preference: "Automatically save the used renaming criteria to the recent entries when renaming is performed". This can be set to Yes (default) or No.
- File Property Tags, Hash Tags, and EXIF Property Tags can now also be used in RegEx
- Moved the Remove (5) → Trim option to be the last removal step under Remove (5)
- Enhanced the 'Show Only Items Affected by Renaming Criteria' command: if only one item or no items are selected, all items are selected first, then, it displays only items affected by the current renaming criteria
- Improved “Highlight Name Changes” functionality in certain situations
- Added option “Simplify Differences” under “Highlight Name Changes”. When this option is enabled, Bulk Rename Utility will try simplify and group multiple differences between the current and the new name for better readability. This option is disabled by default.

Added keyboard shortcuts:
- Alt+Enter: Show Windows Properties
- Alt+P: Show List of File Properties
- Alt+X: Show EXIF Information
- Alt+Q: Open Containing Folder

During an F2 manual rename, Tab and Shift+Tab now function as they do in Windows File Explorer for consistency:
- Tab completes the manual rename and initiates a manual rename operation on the next item in the list
- Shift+Tab completes the manual rename and initiates a manual rename operation on the previous item in the list
- Expanded the Remove Symbols option (Remove (5) → Sym.) to include these symbol categories: General Punctuation, Arrows, Miscellaneous Symbols, Dingbats, Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, Emoticons, Transport and Map Symbols, Alchemical Symbols, Geometric Shapes Extended, Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs, and Latin-1 Supplement.
- Resolved an issue where using RegEx (1) and File Segment together could result in an incorrect new name computation
- Fixed a bug where parentheses ( and ) were ignored in RegEx (1) → Replace unless escaped with
