Bug Fixes: Update checking now checks if a different available version is actually newer than the running version before downloading. Update checking now checks if the new version is already downloaded before downloading. Exiting the character select screen without selecting a character no longer launches the new character editor and instead just exits. Quitting when a sheet is not modified from the last saved version no longer gives the "Are you sure?" popup. Editing Spells, Abilities, Equipment, Items, and Features now correctly puts the sheet in an 'unsaved' state. Fixed additional spell formatting for all '@' strings in 5e.tools descriptions. New Features: 5e.tools spell databases are now automatically downloaded on startup (if any are missing). These are all redownloaded in Py5e updates to make sure they stay reasonably up to date. Having a full 5e.tools repo is no longer needed. Spells, Abilities, Equipment, Items, and Features can now be re-ordered using the right-click menu. Binary now has an icon! Backend: Split single .py file into multiple files for ease of development (major structural overhaul). Minor efficiency tweaks, removing redundant code, minor cleanup. Updated to python v3.14.

Parentheses now appear in looked-up spell descriptions (previously they were removed during string sanitization). New features: Spell descriptions now properly handle 5e.tools '@' notation and tables. PHB2024 descriptions are now default when available. Preliminary icon added to the application.
