+- Panasonic: added exerimental support for channel\_list.xml lists (Panasonic Android TVs, 2019 and later)
+  Unfortunately the only information included in this format is the channel number and a truncated channel name.
 - column order is now preserved between program starts even when lists with different supported columns
   were loaded and columns reordered.
 - added option to enabled/disable auto-loading of the last opened list when starting the program
