v2.5.0 for Windows released

What's new?

New tab added for comparing the content of two directories by hash and file count together. Choose one directory, then choose another directory, and QuickHash will compare one against the other based on the number of files and the hashes of all of those files. If both the file count and all the file hashes match, you can be sure that DirB is an exact copy of the files in DirA. This does not mean that the directory STRUCTURE is exactly the same - only that the files in those directories are the same.

Adjusted text hashing tab to generate dynamic output as you type or paste text in - as you type in the text field, the hash is recomputed immediately. No need to press a button anymore.

The 'Text Hashing' tab, when given lots of data, is now better able to accomodate more data and compute correct hashes without overflow - many Kb is feasible up to a reasonable limit.

Created more meaningful mouseover hints to each tab, to help users understand what each does. Also renamed them for easier understanding. i.e. 'File' tab, for hashing files. 'FileS' for hashing multiple files. 'Disks' for hashing disks. And so on.

Assembly coded versions of the enhanced MD5Transform and SHA1Transform procedures incorporated into source code but NOT the program itself, yet, to allow for more testing. When implemented, tests show that they accelerate QuickHash to one of the fastest (maybe THE fastest?) hashing utility in the world. 1Gb file in 4-6 seconds, hardware permitting. However, portability and CPU architectures need to be better considered before release.

This update is highly recommended for all users. The Linux version of 2.5.0 will follow in a day or three.
