This release fixes some bugs and introduces new filters.

Attention: All documentation in the README has been migrated to the WIKI in an attempt at making the README easier to navigate for inexperienced people. If you would like to give feedback to improve the Wiki or the README, feel free to contact me on Discord.

Details:

• Fixed Swedish translation (see #271).
• Fixed Japanese translation (see #272).
• Fixed Czech translation (see #273).
• Added Turkish translation (see #280).
• Added PlayerSpawn filter. This filter loads player data files from a directory and reads their spawn points. The syntax works like this: <directory><path-separator><dimension>. e.g.: C:\Some\Folder;minecraft:overworld. The path separator character on Windows is ;, on Mac / Linux :.
• Added PlayerLocation filter. Works the same way as the PlayerSpawn filter, but reads the location at which the players have logged out from. PlayerLocation and PlayerSpawn filter also work like the xPos and zPos filters - if the filter query allows skipping of entire region files it will do so.
• Added Circle filter. This will create a circular selection with a given center point and radius in chunks. The syntax is <center-x>;<center-z>;<radius>. Multiple of these can be chained using a comma ,.
• Added an "Invert selected regions" option in the Selection menu. This will invert a selection, but only if a region contains any selected chunks. This only works when the selection is currently not inverted using the other "Invert" function.
• Added an "Overwrite selection" option to the Chunk filter dialog. When this is enabled, any previously existing selection will be overwritten by the selection resulting from the current filter. When disabled, all selected chunks resulting from the current filter will instead be added to the current selection.
• Updated color mappings for 1.18.
• Fixed a bug that would cause a crash on startup when the directory containing the mcaselector.jar file contains an exclamation mark at the beginning or in the middle of folder names. There is currently a problem with folder names containing an exclamation mark at the end, which will not be fixed in this release. This is a bug in the Java standard library that loads resources from the jar file. The associated bug report can be found here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4523159 . The issue is over 20 years old and I don't expect it to be fixed in the near future.
• Fixed a bug where clearing the cacne for a selection would use an incorrect regexp to list image files.
• Fixed a bug where inverted selections would not be rendered correctly on empty regions.
• Fixed a bug where regions with DataVersion > 2843 would not be minimized correctly for memory. This resulted in regions not being rendered for some zoom levels.
• Fixed a bug where parsing a cached image file's name would throw an NPE.
• Fixed a bug where the world config is not loaded when using File --> Open Region.
