Main changes

  • The which/which.exe program can now search for programs using wildcards.
    This is very useful when you don't quite remember the exact name of a program.
    Ex, try: which -a *zip* in Windows, or which -a '*zip*' in Unix

  • New scripts paths.bat for Windows, and paths for Unix, showing the PATH with one path per line, and making it easy to reorder it.
    Optionally manages any other variable structured like PATH.
    More intuitive to use than the old AddPaths.bat scripts they replace.

  • New scripts python.bat and pip.bat, for managing multiple instances of Python on Windows.
    (Useful now that Microsoft installs its own instances, without looking for non-Microsoft ones that may have been there before!)

  • The new Get-Console.bat is a front-end to Get-Console.ps1, for capturing the console contents as coloured text into the clipboard.

  • All Windows executables now include program properties, with a description, version, product infos, etc.

  • The ARM64 versions of the C programs now build without any warning...
    But I've still not been able to test them for lack of a Windows 10/ARM64 test system.

Plus as usual many small improvements and bug fixes.
