UI Changes

API Changes

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

LiveDevelopment - Two new API functions: enableAgent(name) and disableAgent(name).

Live Development has a number of more "experimental" agents that are disabled by default. However, some extensions (e.g. jdiehl/brackets-debugger) would like to use these agents. So, calling these functions allows enabling/disabling of specific experimental agents. The new agents take effect the next time a live development session starts. Current live development sessions are not affected.

Async utilities - New doSequentiallyInBackground() API for slicing up a synchronous task into chunks that run in the background, automatically ensuring some idle time occurs periodically.
