UI changes

• Using the new file dialog and selecting "App", one can create a custom app from some predefined templates
• The terminal rendering speed was increased, it provides global variables for autocompletion, autocompletion was improved generally
• The table viewer will now group common table header rows together, creating a virtual hierarchy. Strings are also automatically wrapped around and the grid lines can be hidden
• Folding has been enabled for LaTeX files and a simple lexer for INI files was added

New and improved functionalities

• getfilelist() and getfolderlist() may now follow shell links (*.LNK files)
• getuilang() returns the user's current language, getfilediff() returns the unified diff of two files, the functions to_utf8() and to_ansi() can be used to convert to and from UTF-8 encoded strings
• vectshift() and circshift() perform element shifts in matrices
• Weibull probability functions and probability density functions for all distributions
• Multiple new string functions with corresponding methods: firstch(), lastch(), startswith(), endswith()
• New table methods: TAB().insertXYZ(), TAB().removeXYZ(), TAB().reorderXYZ() (XYZ means rows, cols or cells) and TAB().shrink()
• TAB().convert() now provides an "auto" mode and may now convert more different number formats (notably EU and US separators for decimals and thousands). TAB().fndcols() can now be used with regular expressions
• The "value" column type of tables was extended to provide far more different fundamental data types, e.g. "value.f32" or "value.ui8". Some file types will now be loaded with the best fitting data type
• Loading and saving of regular file types with custom file extensions is now possible
• Procedures can now be called with relative namespaces
• Conditional expressions in if and while, which return multiple values, have now all return values being considered (implictly using and())
• leave extends the functionality of break by jumping out of all nested control flow statements (with exception of procedure ... endprocedure)
• One can create QR codes with qrcode

Experimental features

• Conditional breakpoints (available via right-click in the editor)
• Column headlines are now usable for column indices, i.e. TABLE(:, "MY-COL-HEADLINE")

General changes
