- workaround for regression that ReferenceListForm constructur throws an error when deserializing a SuperToolTip
- fixed error when changing "Auto hide/unhide columns" option while no list is loaded
- added "Feature" to serializers so they can enforce that all TV channels must come before Radio and Data (but share a common number sequence)

- m3u: fixed saving #EXTINF lines containing tag data
- m3u: readded "File / Save as" menu item (but not for other types of lists)
- fixed text input in "Favorites" column (for lists that only have favorite markers and not individual numbers)
- converted source code to use SDK/MSBuild project files (for future migration to .NET 7 or 8)
- added "Pooling=False" parameter to all Sqlite connection strings to prevent open file locks after closing the connection and to avoid extreme delays when using CloseAllPools()
- C# code refactoring "using var" instead of "using ( ) { }" where possible
- fixed issues where SQLite database files didn't get unlocked after saving
- fixed quirks with missing e_sqlite3.dll when running unit tests with Resharper
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic

- re-imported translation file (to fix incorrect letters in language names like "Русский")
- upgrade to DevExpress 22.1 libraries
- Reference list dialog is now resizable
- Grundig dvb\*_config.xml lists are now separated into TV and Radio lists with individual ordering

- added missing Romanian translation files to the .zip
- Philips: support for FLASH/*.bin DVB-T/C and preset DVB-S lists (mgr_chan_s_pkg.db)
- Toshiba: lists with chmgt_type001\\chmgt.bin can now be opened without zipping them

- Alden: added support for "Alden" Android SmartTV channel list format (dvr_rtk_tv.db)
- added write support for dtv_cmdb_2.bin
- File / Information no longer shows duplicate program number warnings for negative numbers (-2 is an allowed dupe for dtv_cmdb_2)
- fixed Sony unit test (Sky option channels are now counted as TV and not data)
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- user interface can now be toggled between
- **split view**: classic ChanSort UI with new/ordered and old/full list side-by-side
- **single-table**: simplified and more intuitive UI, but not quite as powerful
When you choose to "Modify current list", the single-table view is used by default,
otherwise the split view. But you can always toggle between them.

the old theme was "Office 2016 Blue".
- improved many keyboard shortcuts (open the drop-down menus to see the shortcuts)
- improved some icons to work better with dark themes

down by service type (TV/radio/data - if known), case sensitivity (upper/lowercase), encryption (unencrypted first)
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
