A long time between releases again, so a rather hefty changelog again.
The next version will feature a bit of a feature-cull, as there are a lot of half-completed or redundant features that I want to remove. This will make the program simpler for users to use, and will certainly make it easier for us to maintain from a development point-of-view.
