+-Fixed <end> to work on indefinitely long lines
+-Fixed jump behavior quirks with parsing and cursor movement
+-Fixed rare bug causing copy from other applications to fail on Windows
+-Fixed auto indent commands to do a better job picking an anchor for parsing
+ Testing system now in place (windows only):
+ Flag -R <file-name> creates an 'input recording' file of the 4coder session
+ Flag -T <file-name> overrides user input and drives input by the input recorded in the specified file
+
+New in alpha 4.0.25:
+-Support for unbounded paste sizes
+-Window title now reflects the open project file
+-Buffer names resolve with more path information instead of just a counter
+-Support for Rust error format and improved autoindenting for Rust
+-Work around for bug in make on Windows
+-New commands:
+ <ctrl 1> show the current buffer in the other panel (side by side)
+ <ctrl 2> show the current buffer in the other panel (swap with other buffer)
+ <alt D> list all type definition locations of a particular string ~ if only one jump to it instead
+ <alt T> list all type definition locations of the token under the cursor ~ if only one jump to it instead

+
+New in alpha 4.0.24:
+-Fonts can now be loaded from the system API or from the fonts folder
+-Fonts can now be resized at run time, hinting can be toggled at run time
+-Fonts can now be rendered with any combination of the styles: bold, italic, underline
+  (That is provided the font supports the style.)
+-Now font faces can have different sizes simultaneously, or have the different hinting or styling configurations.
+-Lots of new built in commands including:
+ <ctrl D> delete the line under the cursor
+ <ctrl L> duplicate the line under the cursor
+ <alt up> move the line under the cursor up
+ <alt down> move the line under the cursor down
+ <alt [> select surrounding scope in code file
+ <alt ]> select the next scope up in code file
+ <alt '> select the next scope down in code file
+ <alt -> if a scope is selected, delete it's braces
+ <alt j> if a scope is selected, absorb the statement below it into the scope
+ <alt x> + 'delete file' close the current buffer and delete it's physical file
+ <alt x> + 'rename file' rename the current buffer's physical file and reopen the buffer with the new file name
+ <alt x> + 'mkdir' create a new directory

+
+New in alpha 4.0.22 and 4.0.23:
+-The rendering layer is cleaned up and faster
+-4coder can now ship with multiple built in command bindings

+-All command line flags after the special flag --custom are now passed to the custom API start hook
+-The start hook now gets the list of file names that were specified on the command line
+  All of the files specified on the command line are loaded before the start hook runs
+-It is now possible to set the hot directory from the custom API
+-On windows the buildsuper scripts are improved to look for vcvarsall.bat in lots of common locations
+
+New in alpha 4.0.20:
