regex syntax - we now support '?' operator and match newlines.

* Add 'Edit->Plugin Preferences' menu item and keybinding.
* Add 'View->Editor->Color Schemes' menu (only shown if color
scheme files exist).
Prefs:
* Hide 'Tabs and Spaces: Hard tab width' preference - it should
always be 8. (Hidden setting kept in case users have modified it).
* Add sidebar position interface pref.
* Add project long line marker customisation (patch from Eugene
Arshinov).
Editor:
* Update Scintilla to 2.12.
* Add preference and support for virtual spaces.
* Add word part autocompletion for the current selected item when
pressing keybinding (default Tab) - Enter still completes normally.
* Remove LaTeX autocompletion from Geany's core and move it to the
geanyLaTeX plugin.
Filetypes:
* New filetype: Txt2Tags (patch by Eric Forgeot).
* New filetype: Abc (patch by Eric Forgeot).
* New filetype: Verilog (patch from Kelvin Gardiner).
* New custom filetype: Genie.

buggy local/my/our but parses constant/format/labels.

* Highlight D & Java types from a global tags file.
* Parse Python lambda functions (patch from Colomban Wendling).
Keybindings:
* Add keybindings to switch to the sidebar's Document and Symbol list as
well as to the Message Window's current tab (patch by Eugene Arshinov).

* Add new special template wildcard "{command:...}" to use the output
of a shell command in templates.
* Support {ob}, {cb} and {pc} to escape wildcard strings with {, }, %
for snippets, fileheader and file templates.
* Add {project}, {description} template wildcards (#2954737).
* Reload templates when saving a document in the templates config dir.
Configuration files:
* Support more filetypes.common folding icon styles: arrows, +/- and no
lines (#2935059).

group.
* Add filetypes.xml asp.default.language property (Ross McKay).
Plugins:
* Classbuilder: Add support for creating PHP classes
(patch by Ondrej Donek).

tr, vi, zh_CN.
API:
* Improve documentation contents page.

implement than plugin_configure().
* Add new plugin signals: "document-before-save", "document-filetype-set",
"geany-startup-complete".
* Add PLUGIN_SET_TRANSLATABLE_INFO macro to the plugin API so plugins' meta
information can be translated already in the plugin manager dialog
(patch by Colomban Wendling).
* Use full function name for GeanyFunctions function pointers. This
avoids naming conflicts e.g. with C++'s 'new' keyword.
* GeanyKeyBinding label fields can now contain underscores, which won't
be displayed by Geany. This saves adding near-duplicate translation
strings.
* Add GeanyKeyGroup callback support.
* Add more Scintilla function wrappers, foreach_dir(), foreach_str(),
utils_get_file_list_full(), document_get_notebook_page(),
editor_insert_text_block().

instead.
* Deprecate documents_foreach(), use foreach_document() instead.

instead.

highlighting colors' pref instead (fixes #2854525).
