 - modified the TclCommand New so it will no longer close all tabs when called (it closed the Code Editor tab which may have been holding the code that run)
 - fixed the App.on_view_source() method for CNCJob objects: the Gcode will now contain the Prepend and Append code from the Edit -> Preferences -> CNCJob -> CNCJob Options
 - added a new parameter named 'muted' for the TclCommands: cncjob, drillcncjob and write_gcode. Setting it as -muted 1 will disable the error reporting in TCL Shell
+- some GUI optimizations
+- more GUI optimizations related to being part of the Advanced category or not
+- added possibility to change the positive SVG exported file color in Tool Film
+- fixed some issues recently introduced in the TclCommands CNCJob, DrillCNCJob and write_gcode; changed some parameters names
+- fixed issue in the Laser postprocessor where the laser was turned on as soon as the GCode started creating an unwanted cut up until the job start
+- added new links in Menu -> Help (Excellon, Gerber specifications and a Report Bug)
