Notecase Pro v4.6.0 desktop edition released

Notecase Pro v4.6.0 desktop edition has just been released.
Downloads are now available at http://www.notecasepro.com/download.php

This release features dark mode support for GTK v3.x builds.

Other notable changes in this release:
- loading of large .ncd documents on Linux is up to 8% faster
- add: Lua updated to latest version 5.4.3
- add: to show legacy file formats in File Open window, you can manually add ShowLegacyFileFormats=1 in "[Display]" section of the .ini file
- fix: registering supported text view clipboard formats caused program crash under Linux distros using Wayland compositor
- fix: Documents and similar folders became inaccessible starting with macOS Catalina (10.15.x). Applied likely solution (I need feedback if it helps) was to move launcher script contents directly into the program and for user to give access rights to these folders on startup when prompted.
- fix: Text Pane context menu had double "Copy" and similar entries in mingw build
- fix: do not show auto-save progress popup window if the program does not have a focus (avoid taskbar icon blinking)
- fix: workaround for crash on macOS when exiting by clicking the 'x' button
- fix: using document backup folder with non-ASCII characters in path did not work correctly on Windows
- new Fedora 34 and Ubuntu 21.04 builds
- fix: double-clicking document file in file manager program opened the document in new program instance on Windows Mingw builds (instead of opening in existing instance)
- fix: converting document with pictures to Keynote (.knt) format is much faster (speedup from 12 to 2 sec for specific test document)
- fix: document name with non-ASCII characters did not display correctly in title bar of the main window on Windows

Unless someone needs this, in next cycle I plan to discontinue the following builds (distros being EOL):
- Ubuntu 20.10
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Ubuntu 19.04
- Ubuntu 18.10
- Fedora 32 and older
- Debian 9
