Note: do not use in production, but please test thoroughly and report issues!

• argument reordering (#834) (this changes behavior, see note below)
• Swift Dialog:
  • support for SwiftDialog notifications (#833, #835)
  • adds version to progress text in Swift Dialog (#794)
• User Interaction:
  • adds PROMPT_TIMEOUT to prompt_user and prompt_user_then_kill (#771, #140)
  • only prompts once on prompt_user_then_kill (#603)
  • don't reopen app on silent_fail (#657, #860)
  • no relaunch if user chooses 'Not Now' (#638)
• Version Checking:
  • better detection of new install versus an update (#756)
  • display version of application in notification windows (#637)
  • package version checking improved for pkgs with multiple components (#844)
• adds new label property folderName (#783)
• continues script when 'Management Action' stalls (#808)
• new labels:
  • chemdoodle (#783)

Important Note: #834 changes the behavior of additional arguments:

• the application label now has to be the first argument (or $4 with Jamf)
• you can set or override variables with arguments 2 and up, order remains irrelevant ($5 and up with Jamf)
• parsing variable arguments now happen after evaluating the label

This re-ordering of evaluation now allows you to override values set in the actual label with arguments. This can allow admins to temporarily override broken downloadURLs, appNewVersions etc.
