v5.16.0

NOTE: macOS v10.15 or newer is required to run GCS v5.16 and newer.

New Features

• Expressions can now be inserted into the notes field, as well as in the top-level notes object. To use them, you must surround the expression with double vertical bars, like this: Twice my strength is ||2 * $st||. (#719)
• Added a special "All" hit location for DR Bonuses, which grants the specified bonus across all hit locations, regardless of body type, without having to know in advance all the possibilities. Note that to do something like "All except eyes", you'll need to add both the "All" location and then the "eyes" location with the negated value to cancel out the bonus for that area. (#734)
• Improved third-party data support (#738)
• Added support for using the Page Up/Down keys to scroll the current view. Holding down the shift key allows scrolling horizontally as well. Note that this support requires that the current keyboard focus be within the scroll area in question AND that the component that currently has keyboard focus does not do anything with those keys. Text fields that support multiple lines, for example, do respond to Page Up/Down, so when a text field is the focus, using these keys will not scroll the outer area. (#741)
• User-modified column widths in the various library lists will now be remembered, where possible. The information for this is stored in preferences based on the file path, so moving the file around will lose the sizing. This also means that sizing is per-user and per-computer -- i.e. it does not move with the file itself, since it isn't stored in the file. (#742)
• Markdown content now supports strikethrough.

Bug Fixes

• UTF BOM markers which are incorrectly added by many Windows text editors are now stripped automatically from files, since they are completely unneeded and actually prevented loading of some data files in GCS.
