- fixed a number of issues, mostly leftovers from moving the UI of a Plugin in its own class
- fixed some bugs in the Punch Gerber plugin
- fixed some bugs where the 'pool' parameter was not passed when creating shapes collections (in 3D graphic mode); I wonder how it worked until now
- added a new feature in the Isolation Plugin: now for all the isolation Geometry objects this plugin can do a supplementary simplification of the geometry using the tolerance parameter defined in the General Parameters. This should lead to a reduced number of tool lifts when doing corners
- in Distance Plugin made sure that the 'big cursor' (when is used) is black in color (visible in most situations)
- in Distance Plugin, for the 2D graphic mode activated the utility line
- when loading a Gcode file in the app now the application makes an attempt in adding information's such that the CncJob UI works correctly; if so information's are not found then assumptions are made. Only for GCode that is detected as made from an Excellon object
- the Numeric Move now can take only a parameter instead of a tuple but only if the comma is added, the not added parameter will be assumed 0.0. Therefore ",10" will move to (0, 10).
- remade the Film Plugin such that the `skew` feature is now done in length units as opposed with the previous usage of angles
- refactored some big methods from the Film Plugin
- fixed an issue in the Excellon Editor where selecting the drills did not highlight them but instead made them invisible (although the selection still worked)
- fixed an issue in the Gerber Editor where selecting one shape will auto-select all the shapes made with the same aperture
- some more code is refactored in the Preferences
- the axis will now be drawn on the canvas as they were left in the previous run (just like the HUD and the Workspace)
- for processors with less than 4 cores now the default number of workers is 1 (changed from 2)
- some graphical settings go now directly to the defaults dictionary and will not pass through the `options` app dictionary
- fixed some outstanding issues from the PyQt6 port
- PEP8 fixes
- minor fixes
- updated the saving of Preferences to update the self.options too: the `Apply` action will update the self.options but the `Save` action will save the updated preferences to the file on disk
- added ability to turn off the outline plotting for Gerber objects (will speed up the plotting but the plotting visual quality will degrade); controlled from Preferences -> Gerber -> General
- plotting visuals in 3d graphic mode will no longer create some unnecessary lists
- make sure that the laser postprocessor that do move on the Z axis (like 'GRBL_laser_Z') accept negative values for the Z focus
- fixed issue in highlighter such that the keywords that have an underscore included are highlighted
- rearranged the default keywords
- fixed the generatecncjob() method default parameters to reflect new data structure names
- in Geometry object the default self.options dictionary is updated with keys that reflect new data structure
- attempting to add a feature in the text editors to autoselect all words in a document that are the same as the one that was clicked
- all the colors set in Preferences now have to be in the 8digits format RGBA (including the alpha channel as a suffix) - it is required to delete the current preferences files
- applied the FCMessageBox GUI elements everywhere; there is still a hack in appTranslation file where I needed to re-implement the class due of some circular imports errors
