• Supported Unix-like systems (FreeBSD, Haiku, etc).
• Added URL validation for safety.
  (You can not open help URLs contain some special characters like whitespaces.)

New features

Bug fixes

• Fixed an error when opening URLs with debug builds.
• Fixed a crash when using multiprocessing on Windows.
• Fixed a bug that drag-drop events were ignored on newer versions of GTK.
• Fixed a bug that tuw didn't check the type of the "default" values for combo boxies.

Docs updates

"placeholder" and "combo" were supported as alternate spellings in old versions. I decided to use them as the standard ones.

• Replaced "empty_message" with "placeholder" in docs.
• Replaced "choice" with "combo" in docs.

You don't need to edit your old json files. "empty_message" and "choice" work in the same way as the old versions.

⚠️ It means, the old JSON files won't work if they have choice or check_array components.
