+
+=== Added
+- Added Project Settings concept. The Project Settings is a  file named ``ride_settings.cfg`` inside a directory named ``.robot`` located in the Test Suite directory. The search for this directory, is done upwards from the Test Suite directory. You can create an empty directory, ``.robot`` located in the Test Suite directory or any parent directory, and RIDE will create and use the ``ride_settings.cfg``. This way you can have different settings, like: colors, UI language, and Plugins settings. The most relevant example is the creation of different Run Profiles or Arguments, in Test Runner. When you open a Test Suite outside one with Project Settings, you will see a dialog to restart RIDE, to use the ``Global Settings``.
+
+=== Fixed
+- Fixed crash when renaming test cases names on Tree (Project Explorer), by cancelling with Escape or by adding a Space in the end.
+- Fixed  missing text colorization in suites and test settings on Grid Editor.
