Changed

• Change Dimensions now has an interactive resizing rectangle.
• Redesigned the new map dialog, including better error checking and a collapsible section for header data.
• New maps/layouts are no longer saved automatically, and can be fully discarded by closing without saving.
• Map groups and MAPSEC names specified when creating a new map will be added automatically if they don't already exist.
• Custom fields in JSON files that Porymap writes are no longer discarded.
• Edits to map connections now have Undo/Redo and can be viewed in exported timelapses.
• Changes to the "Mirror to Connecting Maps" setting will now be saved between sessions.
• A notice will be displayed when attempting to open the "Dynamic" map, rather than nothing happening.
• The base game version is now auto-detected if the project name contains only one of "emerald", "firered/leafgreen", or "ruby/sapphire".
• It's now possible to cancel quitting if there are unsaved changes in sub-windows.
• The triple-layer metatiles setting can now be set automatically using a project constant.
• Export Map Stitch Image and Export Map Timelapse Image now show a preview of the full image/gif, not just the current map.
• Custom Attributes tables now display numbers using spin boxes. The type column was removed, because value's type is now obvious.
• Unrecognized map names in Event or Connections data will no longer be overwritten.
• It's now possible to click on an event's sprite even if a different event's rectangle is overlapping it. The old selection behavior is available via a new setting.
• Reduced diff noise when saving maps.
• Map names and MAP_NAME constants are no longer required to match.
• Porymap will no longer overwrite include/constants/map_groups.h or include/constants/layouts.h.
• Primary/secondary metatile images are now kept on separate rows, rather than blending together if the primary size is not divisible by 8.
• The prompt to reload the project when a file has changed will now only appear when Porymap is the active application.
• Script dropdowns now autocomplete only with scripts from the current map, rather than every script in the project. The old behavior is available via a new setting.
• Script dropdowns now update automatically if the current map's scripts file is edited.
• The options for Encounter Type and Terrain Type in the Tileset Editor are not hardcoded anymore, they're now read from the project.
• The symbol_wild_encounters setting was replaced; this value is now read from the project.
• The max encounter rate is now read from the project, rather than assuming the default value from RSE.
• MAP_OFFSET_W and MAP_OFFSET_H (used to limit the maximum map size) are now read from the project.
• The rendered area of the map border is now limited to the maximum player view distance (prior to this it included two extra rows on the top and bottom).
• Right-clicking on the border metatiles image will now select that metatile.
• An error message will now be shown when Porymap is unable to save changes (e.g. if Porymap doesn't have write permissions for your project).
• Error and warning logs are now displayed in the status bar. This can be changed with a new setting.
• A project may now be opened even if it has no maps or map groups. A minimum of one map layout is required.
• The file extensions that are expected for .png and .pal data files and the extensions outputted when creating a new tileset can now be customized.
• Miscellaneous performance improvements, especially for opening projects.
