Fixes:

Fixed macro syntax error generated when using literal stings in an expression, but the last element of an expression was a variable

Fixed page break condensed print causing blank last page

Doing a File=>Restore to a "Virgin" GSAK would not correctly restore the databases until you ran the restore for the second time.

All string variables used with = (equal) in the MFILTER command were not matching because of trailing spaces. This one is a "sleeper" because it has been around ever since the MFILTER command was introduced.

Fixed a problem where the loading of a GPX file would lock the folder so you couldn't delete the folder until after exit of GSAK

Fixed "source type" being left as blank for single GPX file downloads, it now correctly has "GC"

Fixed problem when filter left running past midnight would give you the "zero records in filter" message.

Fixed bug with the use of special tag %shortname per this post

GSAK now produces and Error message rather than crash on load of GPX or zip file with zero bytes.

Fixed a problem when the abort button was clicked when generating HTML, then GSAK "locks up". This problem was only when running from a macro, not the GUI.

Fixed a problem of the # symbol when used in the macro language being treated as a comment when inside <data> and <enddata> (should just be a literal)
