5.1.0

• Reporting bugs is now much easier with the bug reporting form.
  This reduces the amount of time required to write a bug report to under a minute in most cases.
• Many bug fixes
  • Finally fixed the log filter dropdown so that it is initialized properly.
  • Fixed #22
    • Settings are now correctly migrated when updating to a new version of the program.
  • Fixed #23
  • Fixed #24
    • Settings are saved immediately when you change them in the GUI, with the exception of hotkeys which are saved when you switch to another tab or close the program.
      This prevents settings from being reset in the event of the computer being shutdown, logging out, terminated, etc.
  • Additional fixes for unreported issues
• Major improvements to the hotkey action system.
  • Hotkey actions now have a 'group'; these groups are used to sort the actions list as well as
  • Simplified many of the built-in hotkey action names in order to take advantage of the new grouping mechanic, as well as improve readability.
• [SDK]: Replaced the CompatibleVersions struct with a new, much simpler VersionRange struct.
  Most addons are backwards-compatible but will require minor changes when updating to the new SDK version.
• [SDK]: Addons are now able to use the same settings migration feature that the program itself uses, by adding a new assembly attribute: AllowUpgradeConfigAttribute.
  For more details, see the updated documentation included with the SDK.
• Improved log output during the addon loading stage.
