Another maintenance and small features expansion release. A lot of small
annoyances have been fixed and ignored errors are now more visually flagged to
the user. In the past typos in the theme could result into broken themes
-without any warning to the user, if an unknown link is found it will now throw
-an error. Also to help the user, manpages are further split up into sub-pages
-and are expanded
-
-A massif speedup has been implemented in the async input reading of dmenu.
-It turned out glib's GInputStream async functions where very slow, so a custom
-implementation has been made. Background loading is now close to the same speed
-as loading at start before displaying. A million item list is now near instant.
-On very large lists, the instant filtering automatically changes to be
-postponed until the user stops typing. This severely reduces system load.

-On the new feature front, you can now change the flow in the listview from
-vertical first to horizontal first. Making it mimic tables.
