Changelog:

Line duplicate (menu Edit) - in case when line isn't selected, the cursor stay in same position as before in new line
When PSPad is moved to another monitor, icon on taskbar follows application. I was forced to remove program name from PSPad window title to satisfy both groups of users.
Menu Encoding contains new submenu Unicode normalization with 2 items: Canonical Composition and Canonical Decomposition. Accented unicode char can be written as one char containing accent or as 2 chars - basic char followed by accent. These functions provide composition or decomposition of accented chars.
Program settings / Direct edit - new special option UnicodeComposition=1. This settings will automatically make Canonical composition when file is loaded. But note, it will significantly slow down file open speed!
Log window will mark "debug" line with green symbol
Scripting - new function markEditorLine(integer) - will paint sent line with same color as click in the LOG window
Scripting - running scripts are automatically terminated when PSPad is closing
Scripting - new function reloadUserHighlighter(name: string) - reloads user highlighter if loaded. Parametr means name of highlighter or name of definition file.
