full releases, not pre-releases. The updates are not installed automatically, but a link to the
website is provided. PR #863.
**Other Changes**
* The grey Typicons themes have been removed. The Typicons colour themes have also been renamed.
The user configuration will update the theme setting to replace the grey icon theme for dark or
light background automatically. PR #869.
**Internationalisation**
* The US English and Nowregian translation files have been updated. PR #870.
**Documentation**
* The Windows Setup section of the documentation has been updated and simplified. PR #865.

require adding the main source files to the Python install location. PR #868.
