    This is a point release on top of 0.78,
    to fix bugs and add minor features.

Improvements in this point release (0.79) include these:

    All of the improvements in 0.78, as referenced above, plus:
    
    Enhancements:
    Significantly easier to read detailed validation feedback
    Adding an alternate set of validation icons, useful for the colorblind
    Several minor user interface enhancements
    Smaller binary, from removing unneeded components
    Significant reorganization and extension of existing set of math topics,
        including reinstating Divisibility topic removed from previous release
        with a different algebra smart rule, one that doesn't cause crashes
    Half-equations now validate as expected, making equation chains possible

    Bug fixes:
    Lurch now opens .lurch files on Mac OS X when double-clicking in Finder
    Corrected drawing of bubbles at the end of a line of text
    Corrected placement of boundaries of deeply-nested bubbles
    Copy and paste now preserves list (and other paragraph) formatting
    No more blank buttons on the task bar on Windows XP
    Linux preferences dialog check boxes now function correctly (they had
        been acting as if they were always checked)

Special note for Linux users:
    The Linux install script in this release of Lurch has been tested on
    Ubuntu 12.10, Linux Mint 14, and Xubuntu 12.10 only.  It probably
    also functions on other Linux distributions, but has not been tested 
    there.  Nevertheless, the script itself is rather straightforward and
    liberally commented.  Intrepid users should find no difficulty walking
    through the comments and doing a manual install on their own Linux/BSD
    system.
