Windows Explorer Context Menu Extension:
- Re-added ability to configure menu items to appear directly on the top level menu or in a "Beyond Compare" submenu when shown on the Windows 10, in Windows 11's "Show More Options" menu, and in third-party applications
- Fixed extension not appearing in "Run As Administrator" processes on Windows 11 (e.g., Total Commander)
- Fixed extension not showing in Windows 11 for ARM64 "Show More Options" menu. Supporting the top-level menu is still a goal, but we're waiting on Delphi's ARM64 compiler.
- Fixed installing shell extension on Windows 11 21H1 and 21H2. Upgrades from 5.0.2 or earlier will need to turn on the extension in the Options dialog or manually uninstall/reinstall to enable it.

- Fixed comparing files on portable devices (MTP) when Explorer's "Show > File name extensions" option is turned off
- Fixed menu items not appearing in Libraries virtual folders in cases where BC4 did
- Fixed menu items incorrectly appearing on unsupported virtual folders (e.g., "Libraries") and then trying to open BC with an invalid path
- Fixed duplicate menu items when showing context menu for network servers/shares in Explorer's navigation treeview
- Fixed using "Select Left" on a drive root showing the second menu as 'Compare to ""'
- Fixed using "Select Left" on a file and then selecting a drive root that contains a matching filename showing the second menu as 'Compare to file.ext' instead of 'Compare to C:file.ext'
- Fixed ability for a non-admin user to toggle off and on the Win11 context menu after installing for all users
- Fixed icons appearing with a solid black background when running in an ARM64 process or when selecting files on portable media devices
- Recreated Select Left/Center arrow icons to be more in line with the v4 appearance
