• middle click on any taglist now does 'open a new search page for selection'
• moved mouse idle checking code to the wx thread, which seems to have fixed a serious X11 crash
• memory gunk should now be painted over when transparent animations are resized on linux
• fixed some page up/down index calculation on the autocomplete dropdown
• system predicates will remove themselves from the active predicate list silently again
• system predicates will work again in queries that include tags!
• greatly improved my string/unicode conversion code
• dropped many inefficient unicode conversions from db code
• improved the sql-grammar of some specifically efficient db code
• removed incorrect unicode conversions from url/network request code
• removed unicode conversion code from network response code
• all directory iteration should now occur in unicode
• all inputted paths should now be converted to unicode
• replaced every single ugly raw path concatenation with a better method
• improved some bitmap placeholder initialisation that was causing Linux terminal spam
• added an option to always hide the preview window to options->gui
• the preview window will not accept setmedia calls if it is hidden
• if the preview window is actively hidden due to an unsplitting event, it will null its current media
• fixed a shutdown calculation that was under-remembering the height of the preview window by four pixels every time
• improved thumbnail waterfall code--it should be a little faster. less subject to lag when taxed, and waterfall with more genuine randomness
• improved some thumbnail page drawing and clean/dirty conversion code
• when pages are dirtied, any to-be-waterfalled thumbnails are cancelled, making superfast scrolling less crashtastic
• new dirty thumbnail pages are now generated as needed, rather than precached
• subscriptions will now correctly do a polite wait after fetching tags for redundant files
• splash screen will now explicitly raise itself to the front on init
• the export tag txts function of the export dialog now exports the tag txt to [filename].jpg.txt, rather than [filename].txt
• the server now stores its updates in service specific subdirectories, like the client
• some importers will better report when they are waiting politely
• OS X (and anything else with OpenCV 3.0.0) now uses OpenCV to render gifs by default, falling back to PIL on error (like only Windows used to)
• 'open externally' from thumbnails now defocusses the preview window
• refactored away a bunch of bad global controller references
• added some shutdownexceptions
• silenced shutdownexception terminal spam
• reworded the 'maintenace and processing' options panel a little to explain things better
• improved how the base_dir is figured out on program boot
• improved serverside 'should I clean dirty updates?' check code
• deleted some old code
• split path-specific functions off from HydrusFileHandling to HydrusPaths and de-looped my import tree appropriately
• general refactoring
