This release provides lots of internal changes, including a new Preferences dialog that replaces the overly cluttered Options menu, official support for dark mode UI themes, several new syntax highlighting features and a new syntax highlighting color scheme.

The latter feature causes a slight compatibility issue with previous NI releases that warrants a bump of the version number. It is recommended to inspect and adjust color schemes for BCS and other resource types.

Full Changelog:

• Added syntax highlighting for INI files
• Added official support for dark UI themes
• Added many new Look&Feel UI themes, including several dark UI themes
• Added new syntax highlighting color scheme "Druid"
• Cleaned up the Options menu and moved everything to a dedicated Preferences dialog
  • The dialog is accessible from the Game menu or via shortcut Ctrl-P (Command-P on macOS)
• Added first-time usage prompt that helps to quickly set up NI
• Fixed Area Viewer control panel being cut off on small window sizes by adding scrollbars
• Command line option "-no-update" should hide update-related menu entries
• Updated opcode 118 label and parameters
• Many internal optimizations
