CHANGES FOR VERSION 6.08.0 (as compared to 6.07.0)

•     AFL Editor: Implemented clickable JavaDoc/Doxygen-style links in doc comments
•     AFL: Unary minus and NOT operator could cause crash when applied to result of undefined function or variable of non-numeric type. Fixed.
•     64-bit stack walker does not use Microsoft symbol server anymore so it can init a lot faster. Also initialization of stack walker is moved to startup sequence because doing it after exception is risky and unreliable
•     64-bit: access violations during Analysis run do not result in ‘application not responding’ freeze. Instead bug report is displayed with proper call stack.
•     After change in 6.02 exception dialog displayed first error in the formula even if exception was really caused not by first but last error. Fixed.
•     Exception info could get mixed up when multiple threads generated them at the same time. Fixed.
•     New Analysis: Auto-size column functionality re-displayed hidden columns. Fixed.
•     UI: AmiBroker now prevents piling on “Bug recovery” dialogs when multiple exceptions are thrown from multiple threads. First dialog is displayed, other exceptions are logged into DebugView as long as “Bug recovery” is not dismissed.
•     “Rename” and backup functions in several places could fail if new file name already existed. Fixed.
•     Support for Windows 95 is droppe
