*Added TimeOut INI value name for "Settings" section. This enables the page to return after the specified time. When notifications are activated, the timer pauses until "Abort" is called on page's validation function. Also, it continues to repeat until the page is closed.
After seven years since the last beta version, this is the new InstallOptionsEx version 2.4.5 beta 3.
*Added ONRCLICK for TreeView controls.
*Fixed ONCLICK notification flag: Only captured single-clicks when ONDBLCLICK was not set.
*Added the missing Notify INI value name on the documentation.

A lot of bugs were fixed in this version.


=== Next Version ===
Two versions of the plugin are available: an ANSI and an UNICODE.


==== As Discussed ====
'''Changes since version 2.4.5 beta 2:'''
*None at this moment.


==== As Planned ====
A big thank to Tallmaris (Leandro Tramma) for the initial unicode compatibility.


*Add more INI value names to the <i>Settings</i> INI section.
* Added: Full unicode support;
*"Ownerdraw" style for TreeView (?).
* Added: make_unicode dll function for Unicode build: Convert an ANSI INI file to the UNICODE charset;
*More types of checkboxes for TreeView controls (?).
* Applied patches from the original InstallOptions source repository.
*Make API's to work again with controls.


=== Other Future Versions ===


*Custom dialogs for pages.
== Credits ==
*Add more types of Windows default dialogs.
*Create a system for including new types of controls separatedly from this plugin. (This is NSIS TODO)
