* Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm.
* Adjusted Super conversion scripts to handle Investigator rules,
including a new toInvestigator.lua conversion script that will
be mapped by default to Alt+I whenever Golly creates a new
GollyPrefs file.
* Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in
toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua conversion scripts.
* Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency
with LifeViewer..
* Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20)
cells per pixel.
* Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms
(changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a
corrupted universe).
* Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or
ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus.
* Fixed orientation of Custom neighborhood in the Larger than
Life algorithm.
* Fixed an assertion in progress bar update when downloading a
file from a web server using gzip compression.
* Better support for .rule files with very long lines. An error
message is now displayed if a line exceeds the maximum length of
4,000 characters.
* The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly
(assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded).
* 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will
display the current pattern's comments in the help window. You
can also click on the new "i" button.
* The Larger than Life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard
neighborhood (ND).
* New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard
as a pattern.
* Modified goto.lua to check for a number too large for Lua (if
so then the script exits and recommends using goto.py instead).
* File > Run Clipboard displays a nicer error message if the
clipboard doesn't contain Lua/Python code.
* Removed optional support for Perl.
* Updated Lua to version 5.4.6.
* Added a query command (for Lua or Python) that displays a
modal dialog with customizable button labels.
* Lots of new patterns.
* Reformatted and renamed many Larger than Life and Generations
patterns to use Golly native HROT format and/or an .rle
extension instead of .mcl.
* Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle
(replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle).
* The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been
modified (broken links deleted or fixed, and the formatting of
paragraphs made more consistent).
* Added new rules required by some of the new patterns.
