Changelog for all versions prior to release 1.0

There may also be minor fixes, tweaks or changes in each version that are not explicitly mentioned below. Issues that have been logged on Mantis are marked with [#<x>] where "x" is the issue ID. A tag in curly brackets denotes the person that reported the bug or came up with the idea for the feature. (Those tags were introduced around the release of 0.9.34.18, so they are missing from most of the older entries.)

Abbreviations: ADD: added - CHG: changed - REM: removed - FIX: fixed - CM: context menu
