A lightweight text editor written in Lua
Hotfix for a bug that prevented the creation of a new file.
Fix a bug related to the resizing of nested panes.
Fix application crash when using the command core:restart.
Improve application startup to avoid flashing window's problem.
Fix a few problems with documents' filenames.
Move to new plugins versioning scheme using tag mod-version:1.
The mod-version is a single digit version that tracks the plugins compatibility version independently from the lite-xl version.
For backward compatibility the tag -- lite-xl 1.16 is considered equivalent to mod-version:1 so users don't need to update their plugins.
Both kind of tags can appear in new plugins in the form:
-- mod-version:1 -- lite-xl 1.16
where the old tag needs to appear at the end for compatibility.
This release includes some improvements from a new contributors @adamharrison, welcome onboard!

Implement a new system to check the compatibility of plugins by checking a release tag. Plugins that don't have the release tag will not be loaded. Users are invited to update the plugins from the official repository https://github.com/franko/lite-plugins .
Improve and extend the NagView with keyboard commands and introduce dialog commands. Special thanks to @takase1121 for the implementation and @liquidev for proposing and discussing the enhancements.

Add hook function DocView.on_text_change so that plugin can accurately react on document changes.
Thanks to @vincens2005 for the suggestion and testing the implementation.
Enable borderless window mode using the config.borderless variable.

Fix a drawing engine bug that caused increased CPU usage for drawing operations.
Add system.set_window_opacity function. Many thanks to @AqilCont for his suggestion.

Fix problem with files using hard tabs.
This release correct some serious problems related to font rendering, most notably the bug about the cursor positioning when using mouse. Upgrade is recommended.
It took time but with this release the subpixel text positioning now works well and accurately. Text using proportional should appear now more evenly spaced and pleasant because some font's spacing errors have been fixed.
Fix also dysfunctional error message window. The writing of the error message in the standard output and in an error file is now correctly done.
Fixed also a problem revealed by the usage of an old version of the detectindent plugin.
Fix a couple of critical bugs related to lite-xl startup and to binary file opening.
Implement subpixel text positioning to improve text layout at small size. Please not that some spacing inaccuracies still remains when using FiraSans.
Implement close button for tabs. An option to disable the tabs button will be implemented in the next release.
Make the command view list of suggestion scrollable to see all the items.
Improve update/resize behavior of treeview and toolbar.
