Notecase Pro 2.6.6 released

I've just released a new Notecase Pro version 2.6.6.

Major changes are:
- faster .ncd/.nce file format saving operation (test document average save time changed from 31sec to 17sec)
- experimental build for 64-bit Windows (looking for testers!)
- if the document title is defined, it will be used as tab title
- added new internal icon ("favorite"-like yellow star)
- new help file update (work by Paul Merrell)
- much faster copy to clipboard of plain text (no formatting links or pictures) document notes (on test PC copying 11MB text note is almost instantaneous)
- using standard File Save dialog (with some usability fixes) for Save As operation
- added "--run" command line switch to enable running a Lua script on start-up
- implemented initial "Send via E-mail" feature (works with OE on Windows, might work on Gnome with gio builds on Linux, does not work on other "platforms")
- loading .ncd document is now much faster (big test document load time changed from 16sec to 7sec)
- support to build Slackware package in its own .tgz format
- support to build Puppy Linux package in its own .pet format (done on Slackware using the tgz2pet script)
- support to reorder document tabs using mouse (drag and drop)
- automatic hyperlink generator now supports "file://" links too
- added support for email hyperlink type (new type in the Link Wizard window)
