 - Added `QS_DISABLE_CRASH_HANDLER` environment variable to disable crash handling.
 - Added `QS_CRASHREPORT_URL` environment variable to allow overriding the crash reporter link.
 - Added `AppId` pragma and `QS_APP_ID` environment variable to allow overriding the desktop application ID.
+- Added `DropExpensiveFonts` pragma which avoids loading fonts which may cause lag and excessive memory usage if many variants are used.
+- Unrecognized pragmas are no longer a hard error for future backward compatibility.
