• Open Nonstandard File: if a character set is chosen, the next time the file is opened, that choice is remembered.  This allows you to later use Open File instead of Open Nonstandard File.
• File Properties: you may now choose a particular Code Page.  Previously you could only choose between ASCII and UTF-8.
• Added support for opening files that contain unicode characters in the filepath.
• When a file is opened, CSV Editor Pro will now detect what character or characters are used to terminate lines.  When the file is saved, this convention will be honored.  On the File Properties window, there is a new option named "Newline" where you can alter this.
