The current SFVIEW, version 1.20, includes release notes on updates as follows:
[1.20] - Changed the save location for indexes etc to an Application Data folder as preferred by later versions of Windows.
[1.19] - Additional Voice Only and Voice Only 2 submenus under Multimedia to access unidentified (by our hard-of-hearing programmer) audio clips.
[1.18] - Help system converted to Windows CHM format since the old HLP files are not supported by default in Vista.
- Presentation of SFVIEW directories in Release Notes window amended to deal with long pathnames.
- Fixed Headwords window mouse click sync problem on large screens.
[1.17] - Bug fix for startup error introduced by "improved" valid drive testing.
- "Removable drives" setting added to Options menu. See Help file.
[1.16] - Retitled one of the two "SF" headwords as "SF [alphabetization]" and moved it to its correct position as the only "SF ..." entry to appear after "SE ..." (see the entry itself). All indexes should be rebuilt.
- Fixed minor bug with inexact font sizes in Entry Display window, which now uses the precise point size specified in Options | Fonts.
- Entry last viewed on previous run saved and added to File menus and History popup menu. I noticed a personal tic of looking something up, exiting SFVIEW, and then very soon wanting to look at the same entry again....

[1.15] - Remove 64k limit on Addenda text to allow its further expansion.

- Fixed one headword (ASIMOV'S ...) incorrectly not marked as xref with ">" owing to duff Grolier coding.
- Moved Addenda notification and click from entry display toolbar to main menu bar.
- Use of temporary disk file eliminated in entry display: slight speed increase.
