Dear all PlayBTW players!

Happy to announce there's a new major version of Play by the Writing.

This version's focus is to enable the utilization of your user home folder, to store Play by the Writing tables and other config files for it, to increase flexibility and open up for the future, to allow user submitted tables, and other personalization settings. At this point, noticeable improvements are related to the fact that you can now customize and work on your tables without having to worry about updates or getting your custom lists (or OpenAPI key) replaced, and allowing you to have modified copies of the random tables without touching the original ones. Also, the list updaters :pull will now check for available updates before applying the update, and informing you about the changes. Finally, some Mythic and custom lists improvements are included.

And keep in mind, you're all welcome to join me and many other community Solo RPG Players in our Discord Server

Special thanks to @bytetower for reporting many bugs and suggestions, but also to all the community in general for the support!
