- fix a bug where secondary nerd trees (netrw hijacked trees) and NERDTreeQuitOnOpen didnt play nicely, thanks to **Curtis Harvey**.
- fix a bug where the script ignored directories whose name ended in a dot, thanks to **Aggelos Orfanakos** for the patch.
- fix a bug when using the x mapping on the tree root, thanks to **Bryan Venteicher** for the patch.

- make the hijack netrw functionality work when vim is started with `vim <some dir>` (thanks to **Alf Mikula** for the patch).
- fix a bug where the CWD wasnt being changed for some operations even when NERDTreeChDirMode==2 (thanks to **Lucas S. Buchala**)
- add -bar to all the nerd tree :commands so they can chain with other :commands (thanks to **tpope**)
- fix bugs when ignorecase was set (thanks to **nach**)

- fix a bunch of small bugs with secondary trees
- More insane refactoring.
#### 3.0.0

- remove "top" and "bottom" as valid settings for NERDTreeWinPos
