  - Added "Use old-style voice clip naming rule" property in General Settings, it lets to select
    whether the game should expect old-style voice clip filenames (4-letter char name followed by
    number) or the new one (full char name, followed by a number, separated by a dot).
+ - GUI selection in settings is now done using drop-down lists which list all eligible GUI types
+   instead of having user to type GUI number. The setting will be automatically fixed if a GUI
+   is removed.
  - Property Grid now displays Custom Properties right in the main properties list for each item
    that supports them.
  - Added "WrapText", "TextPaddingHorizontal", "TextPaddingVertical" properties to GUI Button.
  - GUI Labels can select full range of Alignment values in their TextAlignment property.
  - Added "TurnWhenFacing" property to Characters.
  - Textual GUI controls can now select "Null Font" as their font: this will prevent any text to be
    drawn even if one is assigned, and make it have zero size (when it matters).
+ - Property Grid and Room's navigation bar now display object's description along with the script
+   name on the drop-down list labels.
  - "Events" tab on the Properties Grid now has "ScriptModule" selection, which lets define in which
    module should the related script functions be generated and looked for. The GUI Controls use
    a ScriptModule set in their parent GUI, and Room events always has a fixed room script selected.

  - Added a multiline Text edit window for Button and Label controls, that may be called by Ctrl+E,
    from context menu, or by pressing "..." button of the Text property in the Properties grid.
  - Support reordering folders in Sprite Manager with drag & drop.
+ - Added "Replace source paths for sprites..." context menu command in Sprite Manager. This command
+   allows to batch-replace parent folder for all sprite source paths, in case you moved original
+   files from one folder to another.
  - Support importing 32-bit BMP files of extended formats (this support is formal at the moment,
    and does not guarantee that any of the extended data will be interpreted).
  - Support importing 1-bit (monochrome) and 4-bit images as sprites, room backgrounds and masks
    (converted to 8-bit).
+ - Do not alter or clamp palette for 8-bit sprites imported in a 16/32-bit game.
  - Support importing indexed images which palettes contain translucent alpha as sprites with alpha.
  - Support importing indexed PNGs as room backgrounds and masks.
- - Do not alter or clamp palette for 8-bit sprites imported in a 16/32-bit game.
+ - When the room background size changes, reset room edges to defaults.
  - Removed obsolete "Copy walkable area mask to regions" command from the Room editor.
  - Improved scrolling of drop-down lists in the Room's navigation bar: made scroll buttons larger,
    and support mouse wheel.
  - In Room Editor, during any area drawing mode Ctrl + LMB now works as area picker regardless
    of the currently selected tool.
+ - Added "Replace source paths for audio clips..." context menu command for the Audio node.
+   This command allows to batch-replace parent folder for all clips' source paths, in case you
+   moved original files from one folder to another.
+ - Don't restrict compiling a voice-based lipsync if game has a Lucas-Arts style speech.
  - Do not delete previously built game exe from Compiled/Windows folder when testing a game
    from the editor.

- - Fixed Editor refusing to open a project if one or more of the sections are missing in the file.
+ - Fixed Project Explorer refreshing when user changes names or descriptions of room objects.
  - Fixed importing indexed PNG as a sprite, previously Editor would mistakenly treat the source
    image as 32-bit.
  - Fixed importing 8-bit BMP sprites with no "Remap palette" and "Leave As Is" as a transparency
    option would still remap palette index 0 to the first found palette entry with Alpha 0,
    even if that's a filler entry not used by the image.
  - Fixed exporting room backgrounds was always writing a 32-bit image rather than using actual
    background's color depth.
+ - Fixed Autocomplete not giving correct results in case of a long chained access, i.e. something
+   like "var[0].member.member".
+ - Fixed Autocomplete giving wrong list of choices for wrong syntax cases like: indexed access of
+   a type and non-array struct variable, member access of a static array.
  - Fixed Button getting resized to the image's size when user cancels different sprite assignment.
  - Fixed "Color Finder" and color properties were mapping a color number to RGB values with
    accuracy mistakes, resulting in slightly different values than the engine would use.
+ - Fixed Editor refusing to open a project if one or more of the sections are missing in the file.
  - Fixed an unhandled exception occuring when rebuilding rooms if any script's header is missing.
  - Fixed a "unterminated string" error in Dialogs was not pointing to the actual error location.
  - Fixed double warning message when trying to close the Editor while a game test is running.

  - Fixed calling Dialog.Start() inside a dialog script would create a nested "dialog state",
