New Features:
Detailed analysis and display of cell differences. 
 On the screen we show a popup that highlights the deleted and added parts of the cell differences.
 In the report we color the the deleted and added parts of the cell differences.
 (as this takes extra processing time it can be deactivated)
 
Startup Options.
 We added options to change the startup behavior.
 a) start with an empty project. 
 b) automatically load the open workbook(s).
 c) automatically load the last project you ran.
 
Minor changes:
 command-line tool. Added options to suppress reports when no differences are found.
 UI rendering now follows Excel's Hardware acceleration settings. No longer dependent of Virtual Machine detection.

Bugs fixed:
 Fixed a bug on multi monitor setup with different scaling.
 Fixed a bug in the workbook dropdown. We no longer test if remote files in the recent file list still exist as this could cause hangs.

Build 11.1.701.0   [17-January-2017]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version change:
---------------
Changed from 11.0 to 11.1 to reflect the UI changes. (this does NOT affect your licenses)

Changes/Improvements:
---------------------
UI: We've changed the layout of the select screen and moved the options for each pair
(ranges/database and linking) from an 'inline' control to a separate pane.

UI: We've improved the Synchronized Scrolling feature.
check it out! ensure it's enabled under project/settings and you have a project loaded and 
started with the results visible. 
Then see the magic; When you scroll in one window the top row of that window is synchronized 
with the other (based on the linked rows found by synchronizer).
But it also ensures that the selections in the results window will follow your actions in Excel. 
Click on any highlighted cell or change worksheets and you'll notice that difference will 
automatically be selected in the results form.

Bugfixes:
--------- 
fixed: Excel sometimes did not properly close when Synkroznier was active.
fixed: xl2007 password dialog may have shown when opening workbooks with protected sheets.
fixed: xl2013/2016 controls did not take focus on 1st click when the window was inactive.
