What's new in this version:

- The goal of Release 8.1.6 is fix 2 long time critical issues (several tries for fixing them but failed though): NUL file-corruption & losing session problem while power cuts or Windows auto-restart PC for updating. In order to remedy these 2 problems, the file saving API is changed from POSIX IO functions to Win32 native IO API.
- A good news for dark themes users who edit Markdown files regularly: Markdown syntax highlighting will fit any dark/light theme. Make sure you’re using the new Markdown UDL files come with the new release.
