Version 4.00 doesn't really mark any significant changes but the previous version which was 3.99 could only be logically followed by incrementing the major number.
Version 4.40 brought in the first native 64 bit release which improved the performance of loading large images (more than 25 megapixels).

Additional Comments
Tested 64 bit Irfanview 4.51.
Installation was to a clean wineprefix, with the Windows version left at the current default (Windows 7). I did not install mfc42, and nothing I tested seemed to need it.

- correct the selection by dragging the left selection border to another position
--> the double-ended arrow cursor ofen is not correctly aligned with the selection border
I guess this happens, when the image is zoomed.
