What's new in this version:

Improved:
- When the file encoding is incompatible with the document content, display a notification instead of silently overwriting the document file with lossy data in autosaving until the user explicitly allows it
- Suppress displaying the dialog for saving in an incompatible encoding when the user once allowed it
- Update the C syntax to improve highlighting numbers
- Deprecate the future to interpret Shift_JIS as Shift JIS or Shift JIS X0213 according to the user's priority setting when referring to encoding declarations in documents in encoding detection
- Improve stability
- [trivial] Improve alert messages for incompatible text encodings

Fixed:
- Fix an issue that the application crashed when editing a specific pattern of color code
- Fix an issue that the outline inspector was empty and not updated under certain circumstances
- Fix an issue that the encoding reinterpretation option dialog is not displayed when the user changes a document encoding to UTF-8
- Fix an issue that the saved user syntax definition file was not deleted when a customized syntax was restored to the default
- Fix an issue that the initial window size on the first launch was too small
