## Bugs fixed

- dexed did not, or was slow, to start on Plasma. (7398bf960958)
- make projects, DUB was wrongly mentioned when trying to compile while previous build not finished.
- possible access violation related to project groups (390ec7777e63)

- Editor: the option to detect the indentation is activated by default, to prevent mixed indentation style.
- Editor: a fourth button in the diff dialog allows to reload but without preserving the undo history, which is better when using _go to next changed area_ and _go to prev changed area_ to navigate in the editor.
- Search Replace: the result of _FindAll_ when the string to search is not a trivial regular expression are also highlighted. (#14)
- TODO list: a new option, _disableIfMoreFilesThan_, allows to disable auto refreshing of the list could be slow when the current project is huge.
