20 Oct 2009 - 0.3.4b    added only the simple compression algorithm used in Dark Sector (use zip.bms to extract its files)
18 Oct 2009 - 0.3.4a    substituited the strdup function due to its different behaviour on *nix and enabled the usage of lz2k also on *nix
17 Oct 2009 - 0.3.4     added support for plugins and/or custom functions through the CallDLL command, added the unmeng and unlz2k compressions, added a fake 64bit type of variable (fake because QuickBMS works only with 32bit numbers)

09 May 2009 - 0.2       tons of speed improvements and memory and code optimizations, added the double console+gui mode (works from command-line if started from the console or with a minimal gui if double-clicked), when the tool asks to overwrite an existent file now is possible to use &quot;a&quot; or &quot;all&quot; for overwriting them automatically, added multiple memory files (MEMORY_FILE, MEMORY_FILE2, MEMORY_FILE3 and so on), added a TEMPORARY_FILE which is nothing else than a file with this name which is saved also in list mode, all numeric variables are saved in hexadecimal, FileXOR and FileROT13 now accepts also a variable as argument, added support for various encryption algorithms (aes, blowfish, des, 3des, rc4 and xtea), added the Print command which allows to show a message at runtime and various other enhancements and fixes other than new BMS examples like the one which acts as base for the games which use the TTARCH format (remember that each game has its own key which must be specified in the script)
03 May 2009 - 0.1.6     added the Append command, some small optimizations in the usage of realloc with the variables and the memory_file, corrected the position offset used in filexor/filerot13 if set to zero

25 Apr 2009 - 0.1.4     this tool is a scripts based files extractor compatible with the <a href="http://wiki.xentax.com/index.php/BMS">BMS</a> language. the idea was born from the need of a simple and fast solution for handling the simple types of archives used by the majority of games without losing time writing a stand-alone tool with tons of C code just for a basic file format
