v2.2.00/01
major code rewriting - introduced dxwCore class
preliminary FPS handling: Limit, Skip & Count with configurable delay
Hide Multi Monitor configuration flag - used for "Dream Acquarium" on multimonitor PC.

v2.2.02
preliminary time stretching: so far applies to GetTickCount() only, and is controlled by Alt-F5 / F6 keys.
Fixed bug in GDI BitBlt call: stretching must be made on screen DC only, or it's made twice.

v2.02.03/04:
code cleanup - see syslib calls hooking
new configuration flags: Hook GDI and Hook OpenGL
OpenGL custom library field
API hooking fix with module specification
Time stretching by keyboard control (Alt F5/F6) and/or Time Slider dialog

v2.02.05:
hooked winmm timeGetTime() API: makes time stretching work for Age of Empires series
changed time stretching grain: now it's not the coarse grained 2x, 4x,... series in 9 possible values but the fine grained series 1.5x, 2x, 3x,.... in 17 possible values
added status and time stretching view panels to tray icon menu

v2.02.06:
preliminary FPS counter overlapped on game screen, Alt-F7 to toggle display on/off.
fixed buf on time stretch logging (and possible game crash).
revised GetDC handling with 8BPP paletized surfaces: avoided need to emulate reverse-blitting and got an impressive speed improvement for games such as Age of Empires I & II and Hyperblade.

v2.02.07:
many fixes on the FPS and time control features.

v2.02.08:
fixed some errors in the main directdraw palette descriptor. That gives better compatibility and less complicated source code.
added Fake Version feature: now Dungeon Keeper II (original version, not GOG hack) can detect a fake Win2000 / WinXP environment on Win7 and newer. Tested and working on Win7. Many thanks to Maxim for pushing me hard to win my lazyness and implement this new feature.

v2.02.09:
Fixed some x,y window coordinates bugs
Fixed some proxy log messages (missing \n line terminator)
Fixed Trace "DirectX" flag.
improved GetDC handling in 8BPP palette mode: AddPalette called on demand, and on any surface (including backbuffers): makes Emergency work with no "Handle DC" flag set. Beware: this may affect the "Map GDI HDC on Primary DC" flag causing surface locks.
Fixed limit FPS timing issues: now the max possible FPS is 1000/delay.
Fixed EndPaint bug causing HDC lock in "Map GDI HDC to Primary DC" mode.
