+   Color number properties now correspond to the encoded 32-bit ARGB (A8R8G8B8 format).
  - Fonts are split into Font Files and Fonts, where multiple Fonts may use same Font File,

  - Actual font files on disk are now stored in "Fonts" subfolder in the project when imported,
    and keep their original names (no longer renamed to "agsfntN.*").
  - Translation sources are now saved in PO format.
+ - Merged all Color and ColorNumber property pairs into a single Color property that acts as
+   a RGBA selection for 32-bit games, and palette index for 8-bit games. In 32-bit game projects
+   you can assign full RGBA color definition, where alpha is optional, and is assumed 255
+   if not specified. Color value 0 means "transparent" regardless of game's color depth.
+   NOTE: color picker currently does not let define alpha, so only opaque colors may be selected
+   using it; but you may still enter RGBA value by hand.
  - In General Settings added "Script Compiler" option that lets to choose between old and new
    script compilers for your game (see "Scripting" section below for the new compiler's details).
  - Added Custom Properties for: Audio Clips, Dialogs, GUI, GUI Controls, Regions, Walkable Areas.

+   This means that you *must* specify alpha value when assigning a color number directly,
+   otherwise the game will treat the color as fully transparent.
  - Added Joystick struct, meant to work with joystics and gamepads in script.
