Added

• The compiler will now warn if additional text is present on the same line before or after commands and other statements.
  • For example, the following code will emit a warning, because the last > character is likely a typo: <<wait 5>>>
• Added a new method, Dialogue.GetHeaders, which returns the collection of headers present on a node.
• Added a new method, Dialogue.GetHeaderValue, which returns the value of the specified header on a node.
• Language Server: Nodes that are part of a node group now show their condition complexity as a code lens.
• Added a new method, Dialogue.HasSalientContent(nodegroup), which returns a bool if there is any salient content for the requested nodegroup.
• Added min(a,b) and max(a,b) to the standard library. We genuinely thought we'd add this earlier.
• Added unwrapped TryGetProperty calls to markup, allowing direct access to the type if you know it ahead of time.

Changed

• Commands are now better at checking to see if the first word is a keyword (e.g. return) or a word that just begins with a keyword (returnToMenu).
• Fixed an error where the compiler would crash if an error expression resulted in the implicit declaration of a variable (for example, <<set $x = >>).
• Fixed an error where whitespace consumption of markup could extend beyond it's immediate younger text sibling.
• Renamed BestLeastRecentlyViewSalienceStrategy to be BestLeastRecentlyViewSaliencyStrategy.
• Renamed RandomBestLeastRecentlyViewSalienceStrategy to be RandomBestLeastRecentlyViewSaliencyStrategy.

Removed

• Removed GetTagsForNode. This method is replaced with GetHeaderValue(nodeName, "tags").
