- channels can also be swapped now be directly selecting two rows and clicking on "swap"
- swapping mark (strike through) is now automatically removed after swapping
- swapping is now recognized as a change and will prompt to save the list on exit
(caused by a breaking change in the new version of the Microsoft.Data.Sqlite library)
- changing channel names in Samsung *_1242.zip format is disabled due to new Sqlite library
- 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()

- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic

The existing German lists are a bit chaotic and full of other irrelevant channels, which makes it hard to combine lists.
I tried to create a clean "default" list for the free and (where possible) HD German channels.
I based this list on this one https://www.electronic-solbrig.de/sat-empfang/senderuebersicht-astra-19,2.html which seemed very reasonable.
I am aware that such a list will always be arbitrary and biased, but at least it's clean... And it will create a base for a curated list which the community can still improve.
- m3u: support for extended header and a couple more columns
- fixed exception when the Favorites column is added manually for lists that don't support favorites
(Lists with .bin files require that the .xml file contains all the same channels to override all channel numbers)
- Panasonic: improved symbol rate and satellite position detection
- startup window location and size are adjusted to fit on screen
- improved "column auto width" (right clicking a column header) by forcing line breaks in the column captions
- Philips: improved and re-enabled favorite list editing for FLASH\_\*/\*.db lists
- Panasonic: fixed display of symbol ra
- Philips: ability to read/write broken CM\_*.xml files that contain channel names with an unescaped & character
- Philips: enabled write mode for Repair\\FLASH\_\*/\*.db file format (one variant was confirmed to work)
Favorite lists for this format are disabled for now (TV ignored them).
- Panasonic: importing a modified svl.bin file caused the TV to use case-sensitive sorting when using the
function to list the names sorted alphabetically. This is now fixed.
- Philips: ChannelMap formats 100-115 did not always fill "Source" and "Polarity" columns correctly
- Philips: improved experimental support for Philips FLASH\_\*/\*.db file formats
(read-only by default, can be enabled in Philips.ini for testing)
- added Polish readme and updated translation (by JakubDriver)
e.g. copy the main program numbers from a Samsung list to the "Fav A" list of a Philips TV
- After applying the initial order, the previous first channel no longer stays selected (only the new first channel)
- 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
- Toshiba: selecting the hotelopt_type001.bin will now also load the list (if the type is supported)
- 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)
- lots of documentation around Philips lists
- working configuration for ChannelMap_100 variant with cmdb files (redordering confirmed, hide/lock/rename/favorites are best-effort)
- pressing the "Del"-key on the keyboard no longer deletes a channel when a text editor is open
- dragging a file (or something else) from outside ChanSort over the ChanSort window no longer creates an error
- opening a file containing a read-only channel list now shows the original numbers
