    * Added support for maintaining both original and patched versions of subfiles in .dat file, and switching between these versions.

    Version 3.3.0

    * Added check and repair functions for situation, when .dat file was patched by LotRO launcher because of official update

    Version 4.1.0

    * Some minor fixes and stability improvements, which should cause less library critical errors.

    * Fixed critical bug, which caused .dat file corruption, if 2 different texts less than 256 bytes size were patched with different versions.
    

    Version 5.0.0

    * Changed subfile dictionary structure as it wasn't completely correct and caused problems with game updates.
    * Changed structure of patch applies so that there's no need in function CommitChanges.
    * Optimised code and speed of library.
    * Removing all fragmentation journal on startup.
    * Using buffered data in .dat file when writing to the end, which increases speed of patching.
    

    Version 5.1.0

    * Added additional compilation flags in order to improve speed.
    * Changed locales' file structure and placement. Old structure made .dat file have a chance to break while game updating.
    * Improved stability and safety while reading files' data.
    

    Version 5.1.1

    * Logic part divided into submodules (DatIO, DatFileSystem, DatBackupManager, DatExporter, DatLocaleManager, DatPatcher, DatStatus)
    * Slightly improved stability, added extra features (normal backup, operation status & percentage and so on)
    

    Version 7.1.0

    * Improved security, added special fields, which help to recognize whether .dat file was broken
    

    Version 7.2.0

    * Minor security fixes
    * Reimplemented categories support
    

    Version 7.2.1

    * Bug fixes (Text files used incorrect fragments during import, if there was no fragment in patch with specified id)
    

    Version 7.2.2

    * Small fixes, added one more protection layer: locales dictionary now contains hash of header at the moment of last patch applying. So that system can easily detect if file was modified and there's a need to update patches.
