This release implements the following enhancements, and fixes problems that have been reported in version 5.0:
Enhancements:
New commands on the Window menu to arrange or tile document tabs in horizontal or vertical groups. Tabs can be dragged and dropped between groups.
When the desktop theme is set to Windows Classic, TextPad automatically adopts that appearance, after it is restarted.
Now available with the French and Japanese user interfaces.
Issues resolved:
When a bookmark was placed on the last, empty line of a document, it was not scrolled into view by the Next/Previous Bookmark commands.
On the General page of the Preferences dialog box, "Program Menu" was not checked unless TextPad had been installed for all users.
The wrong font was used in the Tool Output window for DOS commands.
After opening a workspace, the focus should have been in the active document, rather than the Search Results or Tool Output window.
The list of documents in the Document Selector was sometimes not displayed.
Changes from v5.0.3 to v5.1.0
Enhancements:
Now available with the German user interface.
The Search Results and Tool Output windows can now be treated like ordinary document windows, rather than being dockable. To enable that behavior, uncheck the appropriate option using Configure/Preferences/View/Dockable Log Windows.
A Save As button can now be added to the toolbar.
Issues addressed:
On some Vista systems, the program would crash as menus were highlighted.
Wrong document sometimes selected when choosing from the Window menu.
Tool parameters that referred to the active document failed for dockable Search and Tool Results windows.
Cursor occasionally positioned incorrectly.
Keyboard selection did not correctly switch out of line selection mode, when extending the selection.
Save As should not have changed the read-only state of Search and Tool Outputs.
Eliminated screen flashes while executing the Open All command from Search Results.
Eliminated screen flashing when all documents were closed while the document selector was displayed.
After double clicking a line in Search Results, the focus should have been placed on the corresponding line in the opened document.
The option to write the UNICODE and UTF-8 BOM was ignored, if it was set for an individual document.
On first run, the license should not have been copied from HKEY_USERS\.Default to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
All instances of the main window are now displayed at the same screen position, corresponding to the behaviour of TextPad 4.
The Tile commands on the Window menu now apply to the selected documents on the Document Selector (if any), corresponding to the behaviour of TextPad 4.
Changes from v5.0.2 to v5.0.3
Fixed transparent Search Results and Tool Output windows.
Crash when resizing to zero Search Results or Tool Output windows
Fixed Close command for Search Results or Tool Output windows.

After opening a .LOG file, the cursor should have been at the end of the document.
Change sentence case changed "I am" to "I Am".
The shell parses strings starting with "file://", to determine which application should display the folder or file. Unfortunately the parser does not interpret embedded hex codes, so cannot find URLs such as file://C:/Program%20Files/ and rejects the request. TextPad now treats these as a special case.
The Unicode/UTF-8 byte order mark setting was taken from the default file extension's document class, rather than the Save As document class.
