New in PromptPal 2.0.0.0 (Apr 19, 2013)
- Totally rewritten internally to put you closer to the underlying command shell. Commands that formerly required special treatment in PromptPal v1 just work normally in v2, e.g. More, Telnet, NSLOOKUP etc.
- Support Windows Powershell and other shells of your choosing.
- Integrated support for "Run as different user", which can even be combined with "Run as Administrator"
- Toolbar control over command completion options (simple on / off toggles)
- Command history is now both shared and separate. Essentially what that means is that each new tab starts off with a copy of the current shared history, but thereafter develops its own history, separate from the other existing tabs.
- Pass-thru for CTRL+D and any other key combos not mapped to a menu item.
- Windows 8 compatibility improved
- Dropped compatbility with Windows 2000
- Dropped taskbar band (only applicable to 32bit XP)

- New time-saver when pasting: pasted text is always added to the current command line. This makes it easier to borrow from previous commands and output when building a new command.
- Fix: typing commands that start with Windows reserved filenames (e.g. "con", "nul") no longer locks up the info bar.
- Fix: Popup lists now try to avoid screen area consumed by taskbar and app bars.
