Fixed: 3d floor indicators in 2D modes were not updated after leaving Visual mode.
Fixed: some UDMF-only interface buttons were never removed after converting map format from UDMF.
Added "doomthingrotationangles" Game Configuration property. When enabled, editor actions related to changing thing angle will snap the resulting angle to 45 degree increments. This property is set to true for vanilla game configurations.

Fixed, cosmetic, DB2 bug: current editing mode button was deselected after reloading resources.
Updated documentation ("Game Configuration - Basic Settings" page).
- "Merge Dragged Vertices Only". Only vertex-line intersections will be processed (DB2 mode).

You can switch between these using 3 new actions, top toolbar buttons and Edit menu buttons.
Changed: activating the same 2D mode repeatedly now toggles View modes.
Renamed "Merge Geometry" action/menu item to "Snap to Geometry".

Updated ZDoom_DECORATE.cfg (A_Chase flags).
Fixed, Script Editor: auto-completion and syntax highlighting now works for properties with dots (like "Powerup.Color") and colon (like "See:").

Updated ZDoom_linedefs.cfg (Line_SetPortal).
Changed, Script Editor: pressing Ctrl-S when fixed compilable script tab (like SCRIPTS tab) is selected now compiles the script.

Fixed(?), Visual mode: probably fixed a hard-to-trigger exception when sorting translucent geometry.
Fixed, Visual mode: floor glow effect was incorrectly applied to walls (was broken in R2452).
Internal: restructured most of MAPINFO and GLDEFS parsers. Should be more maintainable now.
