Updated documentation. Increased maximum zoom level in Classic modes to 3000%. Added "1 mp" option in grid size menu. Added "400%" option in zoom menu. Renamed "Toggle GZDoom rendering effects" action to "Toggle Geometry Effects". Sync camera position: Visual Camera height is now changed only if camera is above or below current sector. Classic modes: view was not redrawn after "Test map from current position" action. "Test map from current position" action: incorrect player start was used when a map had several Player 1 Start things. 2013-08-19 12:12:31 +00:00			`<p align="right"><em>Documentation is like sex: when it is good, it is very, very good; and when it is bad, it is better than nothing.</em></p>`
