Fixed Bugs
----------

whitespaces were shown as completely modified

- inline changes did not show up correctly for left-middle blocks
- Directory Compare
- filter input field did not handle Ctrl+Backspace
- GUI
- Windows, message dialogs: buttons might move to the right after,
e.g. after showing the Lock screen
- tree control
- selection might be cut off
- double-clicking outside a node triggered the double-click
action though no selection change occured, so it operated on
the current selection
- macOS: right-clicking while a popup menu already was showing
showed a second empty one
- exiting from the Welcome screen directly after the setup wizard let
the setup wizard occur again on the next launch
- macOS: installation update failed with "cannot run program 'tar'"
- SWT (Windows): some memory corruptions
Noteworthy Changes
------------------
- support for macOS 10.14
- Linux: settings are now stored in ~/.config/smartsynchronize (or
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smartsynchronize), updates in ~/.local/share/smartsynchronize
(or $XDG_DATA_HOME/smartsynchronize) instead of ~/.smartsynchronize
- requires 64-bit systems now

still works with 32-bit systems though it needs manual changes

"Remember as Default" menu item
