Main Form, "File" menu: only existing files are now added to the "recent files" list.

Visual mode: added basic support for sector slopes (no UI for that feature yet).

Game Configurations: added "fixedrotation" property to "Polyobject Anchor" (9300), "Polyobject Start Spot" (9301), "Polyobject Start Spot (crush)" (9302) and "Polyobject Start Spot (hurts to touch)" (9303) actors.

Game Configurations window: game configurations can now be disabled. This setting is mostly cosmetic. When a game configuration is disabled, it won't be shown in "game configuration" dropdowns in New\Open Map Options and Map Options windows. If a map's .dbs file specifies a disabled configuration, it will be picked as a map configuration anyway.

Unhandeled exceptions infos are now written to the event log.
Angle control (the newer, photoshop-like one): left-clicking inside the control now clamps angle to 45-degree increments. Right-clicking inside the control sets precise angle.
Thing Edit Form: replaced angle control with newer one.
Classic modes: fixed minor rendering artifacts when drawing thing direction arrow.
Fixed a possible crash when rendering thing arrows in classic modes caused by incorrect vertex buffer size calculation.
