What's new in this version:

New features:
- In development environments, the API runtime dependency now automatically provides the native libraries that are required by some API calls
- In development environments, the .install4j runtime directory can now be specified with the system property -Dinstall4j.runtimeDir. This allows all API calls to work, including those that require access to the config file, such as Variables.getCompilerVariable(...).
- Multiple timestamp signing services are now tried in the case of a failure. The default is now DigiCert with a fallback to GlobalSign. This can be changed on a per-project basis as explained in the documentation.

Bugs fixed:
- "Download file" action: If the digest file was created with an external tool that produces upper case letters, the check would fail
- "Execute SQL script" action: Regexp delimiters and compound delimiters with a line break like ";\n" did not work
- "Check for running processes" action: Prevent closing the process dialog with the window close button
- "Set the owner of files and directories" action: Leading and trailing spaces in the "owner" property were not trimmed and lead to an unhelpful error message
- The native log files of Windows installers was not deleted
- Fixed deadlock during auto-save or while saving the project when the floating license server connection was lost
- Fixed memory leak when running in-process installer applications multiple times
- When using the filter text field in the certificate selection dialogs, the wrong certificate was selected
- The check whether modules are used by launchers was not made for merged projects, so a non-modular runtime library could be generated leading to a runtime failure in a merged launcher
- Text mode overrides for bean properties did not work for elevated actions
- Installers could throw an LzmaException for large data files
- Arguments in .vmoptions files were not trimmed on macOS
- API: If a scheduled version has already been installed manually, return false for UpdateChecker.isUpdateScheduled()
- macOS: Command line executables could not use bundled JRE in macos folder archives due to notarization requirements
- macOS: The reported file sizes of notarized media files in updates.xml was wrong
- macOS: Fixed signing Java 9+ JRE bundles for macOS folder archives when the build runs on macOS or Linux
- Windows: The -manual command line option for selecting a JRE did not work as expected when the direct JRE download options was selected for the media file
- Windows: Could not use absolute locations for the Windows JRE search sequence when the build was not performed on a Windows machine
- Windows: PKCS11 code signing for multiple Windows media files could fail
- Linux: systemd service installation did not work correctly with rpm update
- Linux: Build would fail if non-ASCII characters were present in the install4j installation directory
- Linux: KillMode=process is now set in systemd files by default so additional processes started by a service will not be stopped. This is required for update downloaders that are started by a service.
- Linux: Installers running in console or unattended mode on Java 8u242+ throw an exception if no physical fonts are present on the system
- Linux: Menu entries did not work for installations with spaces in path
- Linux: File associations did not work with spaces in the installation path
