        Checker
      o added support for the '@yield' and '@ytype' tags
  * Debugger
      o added support for debugging multiprocess scripts using these
        methods
          + QProcess.start(), QProcess.startDetached()
          + subprocess.Popen()
          + multiprocessing.Process()
          + os.spawnl...(), os.spawnv...(), os.posix_spawn...(),
            os.fork(), os.fork_exec()
          + _winapi.CreateProcess(), _subprocess.CreateProcess()
      o added support for debugging code strings (-c, --code) or script
        modules (-m, --module)
      o added support for the "Continue Until" action execution code
        until the current cursor line (if it is greater than the current
        line) or until returning from the current frame
  * Documentation Generator
      o added support for the '@yield' and '@ytype' tags to document
        generators
  * Editor
      o added code to enclose the current selection by entering ", ' or
        a bracket ( (, ), [, ], {, }, <, > ) characters
      o extended the exporters to support sub-styles
      o added functionality to insert docstring templates via the
        context menu (cursor placed on first line of function
        definition), after entering the docstring start string (e.g. """
        for Python) or via a keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Alt+D)
        when cursor is either placed on the function definition line or
        after the end of the function definition
  * Find File Dialog
      o added option to exclude hidden files and directories
      o changed directory tree search logic to derive the file patterns
        from the project file type associations, if the directory to be
        searched is a sub-directory of the project
