Xtreme Suite ActiveX 9.80 Release Notes

Oleg posted the 9.80 ToolkitPro changelog in another section, I figure this could also be useful here.

From just looking at the changelog, this looks like a great release. I personally think it was too long in the making, but I am glad that it is packed with many enhancements. I was not planning on renewing my subscription, but I think I have changed my mind. Thanks Codejock.
