FLAtlas v0.8.8

This release focuses on System Editor reliability, safe INI persistence, predictable undo and redo, and stable 3-D previews.

System and universe creation dialogs now use English source text with complete
German runtime translations.

Planet texture segments now keep their fallback marker sphere disabled after
display-filter and model refreshes, preventing blue texture z-fighting.
3-D system textures now load only near the camera with bounded resident sets,
decode batches and embedded-image cache memory, preventing multi-gigabyte RAM
growth in large systems.
New-system validation now reports invalid input consistently and keeps the
dialog open until the data is corrected.
Undo and redo now refresh the System Editor UI and no longer conflict with
text-editing shortcuts in focused input fields.
New bases now receive a valid dockable archetype instead of an unusable
placeholder.
System saves preserve inline semicolon comments and CRLF line endings without
creating duplicate carriage returns or growing blank lines.
The Base Builder preview now resolves texture paths from the active mod and
Freelancer installation.
Ring objects now frame correctly in the 3-D camera and retain their fallback
visualization when no model can be loaded.
Zone creation now shows the second placement step and its instruction banner;
Escape and right-click reliably cancel the operation.
