 + Fix: unreliable clipboard reading on windows

4.1.8
 + On command line "-U <path>" sets the user directory
 + On command line "-L" "> log.txt" to get a startup log
 + The 4coder_fleury layer is now bundled with 4coder; run with '4ed -U 4coder_fleury'
 + New commands 'project_command_F1' ... 'project_command_F16' can be directly bound
   in key bindings.
 + In a project "fkey_command_override" can contain labeled sets ".name = { ... }"
   which override the fkey commands for a particular user;
   "user_name" from config.4coder is used to decide which override set to apply
 + Fix: indent bug inside parantheses
 + Fix: window title after project loading works again
 + Fix: parsing the parameter of #include
 + Fix: handle spaces in buildsuper build paths
 + Fix: make backspace alphanumeric boundary work on UTF-8

4.1.7
 + Core string hash features "save_string" "read_string"
 + Added lookup acceleration to code index data
 + Added highlighting for functions, types, and macros in code index
 + Default input is now dispatched through an "implicit map" callback

    Search order: loaded project's path, "user path", binary path
 + Fix: crash when pasting in read only buffer
 + Fix: crash when closing cli output buffer

4.1.6
 + In config.4coder "bind_by_physical_key" uses a key-layout that does not change with language
 + Deprecated GlyphFlag_Rotate90, rotation of immediate mode text is entirely derived from the delta vector
 + New API view_(set/get)_camera_bounds, controls the margin and push in values when the cursor is out of view
 + Durring isearch the vertical margin is extended to make text above/below the cursor visible
 + Fix: notepad like mode scrolling only creates selection when holding mouse L-buttoon
 + Fix: on windows the window has the 4coder icon
 + Fix: various keyboard input issues on windows, linux, and mac
 + Fix: by default platform layer uses key codes arranged by the system language
 + Fix: printing for list_all_functions_* commands skips whitespace and controls format directly

4.1.5
 + MAJOR: Scratch_Blocks now take arena pointer parameters in their constructor to specify arenas that should be treated as having distinct lifetimes, without doing this it is possible that a local scratch and another arena will actually refer to the same allocator and freeing the local scratch will also free memory that was meant to be in a separate arena.
 + MAJOR: HookID_BufferEditRange now takes the "old_cursor_range" instead of the "original_size"

 + Record_Info now reports a pos_before_edit member - which is not gauranteed to be accurate but is when it can be,
   and when it can't be is based at the first character of the edit range
 + When undoing a string it briefly fades away; controlled by config.4coder "enable_undo_fade_out"

 + Fix: on mac mouse scroll wheel is handled with extra multipliers
 + Fix: on mac full screen flag -F does not cause a crash
 + Fix: on mac handles diacritical text input via dead keys
 + Fix: auto-indenting multi-line tokens does not shift them for being in incomplete statements.
 + Fix: lexer does not exit a line continuation from backslash when it is followed by a CR
 + Fix: lexer understands backslash at end of single line comment as continuation to next line

4.1.4
 + MAJOR: The clipboard history is now a fully custom layer implemented system. Users maintaining a customization layer should try to update their call sites to the old clipboard API. #define FCODER_TRANSITION_TO 4001004 to disable the transitional function wrappers when you are ready to make the transition.
 + buildsuper scripts now all come with '-win' '-linux' '-mac' postfixes and pass their OS identifier macro on the build line
 + clipboard is only read when the requests to, or when the collect-all mode is started via the command 'begin_clipboard_collection_mode'
 + 'clear_clipboard' command
 + in config.4coder the variable virtual_whitespace_regular_indent determines the number of space-widths to use as the regular indentation in a virtual whitespace layout
 + show whitespace mode implemented in 'default_render_buffer'
 + `set_face_size` and `set_face_size_this_buffer` commands
 + `HookID_WholeScreenRenderCaller` hook runs once per frame after all views render
 + Bindings use exact matches for modifiers, instead of most recent sub-set matches
 + Extended key codes list
 + Fix: tabs are measured with the correct amount of width for the user's settings
 + Fix: virtual whitespace toggling works when the config initially diabled virtual whitespace
 + Fix: never miss the most recent post to the clipboard on windows
 + Fix: command `load_theme_current_buffer` gaurds against destroying the active color palette when bad files are loaded
 + Fix: project deep copy routine copies strings in the whitelist and blacklist pattern arrays
 + Fix: footer panel manipulation functions check if the view exists

4.1.3
 + Unkillable buffer setting
 + UI elements in listers and buttons can have different highlight backgrounds
 + command 'load_theme_current_buffer' for loading the current file as a theme and setting it as the theme
 + command 'write_block' for writing a block comment uses mark and cursor range to insert block comment ends

 + Fix: can merge "backwards" strings in the history correctly
 + Fix: the helper user_list_definition_array matches both LF and CRLF line endings
 + Fix: line number background and text colors in the built in theme files
 + Fix: a drive letter by itself is recognized as an existing path
 + Fix: the margin colors for panels are determined by the margins in theme files
 + Fix: when a file is deleted outside of 4coder, the '!' dirty status is added to the buffer
 + Fix: on mac file changes outside of 4coder are detected and do not stall the UI
 + Fix: in virtual whitespace layouts blank lines correctly mark carriage return characters before newline characters
 + Fix: auto-indentation leaves the carriage return in CRLF line endings in place and does not count them as indentation
 + Fix: lexer emit pointer advances correctly when the output buffer becomes full
 + Fix: when include gaurds are inserted into new header files, the generated name isn't killed by numbers or underscores
 + Fix: base library function string_is_integer returns false on empty string
 + Fix: preprocessor directives after incomplete statements are aligned to zero by auto-indent
 + Fix: command 'list_all_functions_current_buffer_lister' and command 'list_all_functions_all_buffers_lister' are marked as UI commands and thus do not infinite loop when they set the buffer
 + Improvement: optimization in clean_all_lines command, handles CRLF line endings

4.1.2
 + Cursor color changes when recording macro if the theme provides a second cursor color
 + Default custom layer now has a feature for supporting fade ranges as used in pasting and undoing
 + Ability to "partially" paint text with a blend factor to create blends
 + In file lister, typing a slash with a name for a folder that does not exist asks the user if they would like to create a folder
 + Fix: parser in code index recognizes functions with more than one parameter
 + Fix: trying to create a face with a font file that doesn't exist doesn't crash
 + Fix: escaping command documentation lister doesn't crash
