[958]65-Added multithreading support for @CUSTOM_COMMAND, use wildcards in multiple files for the same js code to
[967]66take advantage of this (performance may increase over 3 times for a quadcore)
[958]67-Now a warning is given if a user javascript code (@CUSTOM_COMMAND) takes too much time to finish
68-Fixed small bug when applying patches with @COMMAND + --no-verbose where some std output should not be displayed
[961]69-Added double single quotes in @COMMAND to allow single quotes in XPath expressions
