Release v0.3.8

Update sparknotes:

• Rewrote note rendering again, bringing back screencovers, hitlighting and nice things like that
• Semi-3D noteskin effects now gone as nobody was using them and they are a pain to continue support for
• Reworked some UI stuff (lots of things look weird but are functional)
• You can hold / (by default) to get helpful tooltips on some things
• I rewrote themes (they're called themes now not skins) which are a bit more powerful
• Themes can add multiple noteskins to the game + do a lot more in future
• You can load multiple themes in a hierachy

There will likely be a 0.3.8.1 out soon with

• More helpful tooltips
• Rearrangement of some UI elements
• Tools to help with creation and editing of themes

Then 0.3.9 will aim to tackle major performance optimisations (I've got a plan in mind)

Release v0.3

First public release to show what i got - Here's some things that work

• Converting your charts to the .yav format, loading and caching them
• Searching, sorting and selecting charts from the menu
• Playing and setting scores on charts including physical difficulty calculation and player rating (needs significant fine tuning, not yet complete)
• A handful of options and skinning functionality
• Some nice user interface stuff
• A couple of gameplay mods such as mirror and autoplay

You missed 0.1 and 0.2 because they were private releases
0.1 was the stage of just getting some engine stuff done and making user settings available
0.2 was the stage of getting the user interface looking real nice
0.3 will be all about important gameplay features with a focus on the difficulty calculator
0.4 will be around the time i start working on the chart editor

Remember to check the wiki if you don't know what you're doing
