Release v0.13.1 · cschweda/drafter

Better Final Draft files, a Help menu, and panes that line up.

Final Draft files from Final Draft 13 come in properly. Drafter's import was checked against a real Final Draft 13 sample script:
- Its outline (acts, sequences, scenes) now comes in as Drafter's own sections, and its summaries as synopses.
- Its notes, alternate lines, character arc beats and beat cards come in as notes, with their writers and titles.
- An embedded picture is no longer pasted into the script as a huge block of junk text.
Import is hardened against hostile .fdx files. Several ways a small crafted file could make an import very slow, or crash it, are closed. Nothing in a file is dropped silently.
Help menu:
- About Drafter shows your version, the app, and links to the project on GitHub, its releases and its changelog. Copy version info is there for bug reports.
- Sample scripts are tiny, original examples of a screenplay, a stage play and a Markdown document. Each opens as a new script.
- Check for updates… checks now. On drafter.dev it offers to reload into a new version; in the desktop app it uses the app's updater.
Side by side, both panes' text starts at the same height.
With sync scrolling on, writing at the end of a script in a short window keeps your line in view in the Script pane.
