R package help not run in separate thread

0.3.1

• Improved the efficiency in refreshing the data grid. There should be a noticeable speed improvement when working with large data sets.
• Added a “maximum columns to display” option (parallel of max rows) which has reduced the chances of a major crash with wide data sets when set to 30 (the default) or below. The number of columns being displayed is now indicated at bottom of the data grid.
• Implemented auto recovery options. A backup of the data is saved every five minutes in idle time. The log file is backed up after running every command. The internal log (i.e. including internal R code) is backed up after running every (internal) command. When R-Instat crashes unexpectedly these files may be retrievable through a new dialog that appears when restarting after a crash. Options include opening the backup data and re-running the backup log file.
• A message appears when an R command has been running for more the two seconds to notify users that R-Instat is still running.
• An initial implementation of some climatic dialogs (start of rains, spells) is in place.
• Additional settings have been added to the Options dialog.
  Import from file dialog now only displays preview for csv and xls/xlsx files (since these are the only file types rio can import with a row limit). Some general bug fixes on this dialog and it can now import text based .DAT files (h/t Savitri Wilson)
• The Stack dialog can now stack multiple sets of columns.
• The Merge dialog is simplified (additional options are on the sub dialog) and it can now merge a subset of the columns of each data frame
• Simplified the design of the Open from Library dialog and added packages
• In general, sub dialogs open on the first tab after the main dialog has been reset
• Dialog specific headers for selector box e.g. “factors” or “graphs” instead of always “variables” is implemented on some dialogs
• Small bug fixes on: One variable compare models, One/two/three variable frequencies, Regular sequence, Delete rows/columns, Levels/Labels dialog

Technical changes

• Calls to R are now run on a separate thread to prevent the software hanging
• RSyntax now contains a list of before and after codes to run and conditions have been added for core controls to check RSyntax
• Backwards compatibility for options file from older beta version of R-Instat
• To Script button now obtains correct code (when all functions contained in RSyntax)
