- We now use our own file browser to better communicate what you can and cannot do with CrashPlan. This avoids situations where the user can see a folder, but CrashPlan cannot
- Aliases, Shortcuts, Symlinks. These now have a special green arrow through them to help you know they're not the real deal, but a fancy pointer to something else.
- Backup file selection panel behaves a bit more intuitively for those few users who have local disk systems that are quite extraordinary

- Settings have been reorganized somewhat and small text changes throughout to better communicate what's going on
- You can now specify 999 days for deleted file retention for those users that like to keep things a bit longer. Can you imagine what their closets look like?

- When moving a friend's backup location, the desktop interface is more predictable when switching friends
- It's more obvious what's going on when trying to force a backup during a time when CrashPlan is configured to not run
- You can now control how much CPU & Disk I/O CrashPlan may use when backing up. To make things even more fun, we allow you to specify them in terms of when you're using your computer, and when you're away! The default is 80% when you're away, 20% when you're there. You could set them to say 100% when you're away. And 0% when you're there. (Thus turning off backup altogether when computer is in use.) Controls are located in the Settings/Advanced screen
- Fixed a rare invalidManifestPath issue seen by an unfortunate few folks
- Better cleanup when someone stops using you as a destination
- Lots of new status messages for backup destinations to better communicate what's going on. (i.e. Who is on first.)
