Version v = 8.1.6;
Release release = doNewRelease(v++):
while (release.hasRegression())

    release = doNewRelease(v++);
}

You may be annoyed by the repetition of new release since v8.1.6, me too.
Let’s pray together for not having any regression in v8.1.9.
(That reminds me a joke: Software and cathedrals are much the same - first we build them, then we pray.)

Confirmed, I was surprised and a little annoyed at first, too. But then I figured, you don’t do quick follow-up releases just to annoy anyone. Sometimes such things happen, and if the issue to be fixed justifies a short-termed release, I’m all for it.

Hello!
You can do it so that you can navigate with one mouse click in the “List of Functions” and “Folder as Project” windows. Double click is now implemented.
