Bigger additions:

Code editor now has a context menu
- It has a pretty dumb "show references" thing
There are now tooltips for mouseovering functions, macros, variables, and so on
You can now import GMS1/GMS2 code editor colors as themes (see wiki)
There is now a sprite viewer for both GMS1 and GMS2
There is now regular expression search
Most code tabs are now restored when reopening a project

Smaller additions:

`///prefix ...` now gets a `ace_startswith_prefix` CSS class
You can now view GMS2 extension functions/macros via context menu.
Local variables inside #lambda functions now get a separate color
Global search can now show search results in #lambdas inline
Added a preference to control how GMS2 events are ordered for display
<html> now gets a hasFocus attribute in case you want your themes to change depending on window focus
You can now do `#import func in Name:method` or `#import prefix_* in Name:`
(without turning every func into Name.method - only the ones for var v:Name)
Added a preference to open resource tree items with one click
GMEdit now has a taskbar icon thanks to JustFredrik

Improvements:

Thumbnails are now generated on-demand and perform much better in very large projects
NTT projects now have thumbnails for images
The item in resource tree now flashes a few times when you pick "show in resource tree"
Themes are now detected in the data directory so that you can remove the program directory and lose nothing
Auto-completion for namespaces now pops up when you type `var v:`

Breaking changes for themes:

Code editor rules now use `#main .ace-tm` (the editor) instead of `#main .gml` (the whole right side) so you'll need to find-replace that in your themes to be `#main .ace-tm`
Numbers are now just .ace_numeric instead of .ace_constant.ace_numeric to avoid requiring CSS priority

Changes:

You can now add a "//!usevars" line to your gmedit_lambda.gml after creating it to auto-workaround this bug (GMS <= 2.2.2).
Recent project list is now saved into the data directory rather than localStorage.
Newly created scripts now open automatically for editing

Fixes:

Fixed local variables sometimes not immediately highlighting in newly added GMS2 object events.
Fixed replace.gml being too greedy, thus causing xstart/ystart to go missing from highlighting
Fixed "use tabs instead of spaces" setting not getting saved.
Fixed projects opened via command-line argument adding duplicate entries to recent projects list
Fixed GMEdit using uppercase GUIDs while GMS2 uses lowercase (causing GMS2 to lowercase them when it changes that file)
Fixed "#event name|desc" (no-space comment) not setting starting line to 2
Fixed it being possible to corrupt code with conflicting #import declarations (#import a in v + #import b in v)
Fixed "invisible characters" being light gray in dark theme
Fixed code indexing being able to get stuck due to errors
