Dark Theme Support!

Make use of Project / Preferences ... / Appearance to change the themes.

Or start QuickRev with --style=dark to use the dark theme.
(Experimental style options from version 2022.2 are removed.)

Restore Review Sessions

When closing a review (or QuickRev) while an review is still ongoing QuickRev remembers the open files and comments. When reopening the same review QuickRev will ask whether it shall restore the session and if so will open the same files and comments to continue the review.

Logic for individual comment references changed, now the checked ones are visible and un-checked are hidden.

GIT performance improvements for worktrees

When staring QuickRev in a GIT worktree only the review directories of the current worktree will be updated in the history-DB. Furthermore only history information from reviews stored in the GIT-worktree will be fetched from the history-DB and shown in the file history.

Change font in code window

Use 'Project / Preferences... / General' to change the font settings for the code window.

Enhanced C++ Syntax Highlighting

Doxygen comments will be colored like JavaDoc comments.
The following are supported
