Notolog

Added
- Added `pyproject.toml` file to support the modern way of building packages.
- Added a development and test tools installation script that gets data directly from `pyproject.toml`.
- Added a button to send requests and stop inference for the AI Assistant.

Changed
- Renamed `main.py` to `app.py` to allow running the app with the `python -m notolog.app` command.
- The application has been tested with less strict dependencies, using version ranges to ensure compatibility and flexibility.

Updated
- Updated `README.md` with current and additional information about dev tools installation, and other changed parts.

Fixed
- Fixed building the wheel on the Windows platform.
- Added `QT_API` environment variable to fix Windows CLI run.

Added
- Modular functionality with extendable settings and lexemes.
- Introduced the 'On Device LLM' module using ONNX Runtime GenAI, enabling local, CPU-optimized versions of LLMs like Phi-3 without requiring internet access. Added two new packages, `onnxruntime_genai` and `numpy`, to support this feature. Supported systems include Linux and Windows (support for macOS is in progress).

Changed
- Transformed the OpenAI API into a dedicated module.
- Moved descriptions of third-party packages and their licenses to the `ThirdPartyNotices.md` file from the README.md.

Updated
- Enhanced the AI Assistant to support multi-turn conversations with optional 'no memory' requests, improved token count management, and added a stop button functionality to halt inference.
- Enabled saving of the entire AI Assistant conversation; individual messages can now be copied to the clipboard as well.
- Implemented caching of settings, which can be reset via the main menu.

Fixed
- Resolved an issue where the code block background color was indiscernible in the Dark Noir theme.
- Corrected anchors processing for headers using the 'toc' (Table of Contents) markdown extension.

Added
- Added `typing_extensions` package, which is also automatically installed with the `emoji` package.
- New tests and test-related updates, particularly complex async tests for `ImageDownloader`.

Updated
- Updated the following packages to their latest versions: `PySide6` (including `PySide6_Addons` and `PySide6_Essentials`) to version 6.7.1, `pytest` to version 8.2.1, `pytest-asyncio` to version 0.23.7, `cffi` to version 1.17.0rc1, and `emoji` to version 2.12.1.
- Added processing for the Shift + Enter keyboard combination to avoid soft line breaks, which may alter the perception of how soft line breaks function.
- Updated the package's `setup.py` to include supported languages and additional package information.
- Updated the functionality for getting and storing protected fields in settings, including refactoring and error fixes (re-setup of corresponding values may be required).
- Updated `AppConfig` with additional settings-related options.
- Various `Flake8` linter fixes to ensure the code meets the PEP 8 style guide, along with McCabe complexity updates (current complexity check level is 15).
- Updated and optimized the content of the `README.md` file to enhance the sections on third-party components, and tests-related topics.

Changed
- Slightly reduced the await time for the async highlighter to make the editing mode more responsive to changes involved in syntax highlighting (experimental).
- Improved the error-proofing of async queue processing upon app closing, particularly if background processes like highlighting or others are still in progress.

Fixed
- Fixed an issue where resources might be downloaded twice.
- Resolved a problem with the toolbar context menu being unresponsive.

Added
- Introduced a GitHub workflow for tests, incorporating Flake8 and pytest coverage reports to maintain high standards of code quality and ensure comprehensive test coverage.
- Added the app's organization name, app name, and version to facilitate correct settings storage.
- Added a media directory to the app_config.toml.
- App settings now support encrypted values to keep sensitive data, like API keys, secure. The encryption key is generated once and stored in the app config file. A Settings helper class was also added.
- New tomli_w package added to support TOML-file writing.

Updated
- Tests updated to support multi-platform execution.
- Used `os.sep` to ensure correct path separators on each OS and `os.path.normpath()` to normalize path separators.
- Updated the description and disclaimers text in README.md; added a "Code Quality and Test Coverage" paragraph.

Changed
- Changed the approach to not create a resource directory upfront before any file is available to save.
- Moved async highlighter functionality to a dedicated file.
- Adjusted links markdown highlighter to allow highlighting web links within lines of markdown blocks, and adjusted the web links regex accordingly.
- Refined the AppConfig object to implement the singleton pattern, enabling it to automatically generate the app's config file rather than relying on a predefined version.

Fixed
- Fixed a potential error in the image downloader when the property is None upon canceling tasks on exiting the app.
- Updated the resource folder path according to the currently active file.

Added
- Introduced the pytest-asyncio package to support testing of asyncio code with pytest, enhancing the robustness and reliability of unit tests.
- Added the `.gitattributes` file that was previously omitted to ensure consistent Git configurations across various environments.

Updated
- Improved the processing and completion of tasks in the asynchronous syntax highlighter, enhancing efficiency and stability.
- Expanded the `.gitignore` file with additional entries to better manage the files included in version control, such as ignoring more temporary files and build artifacts.

Added
- Introduced the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file to promote a respectful and positive environment for all contributors and participants. This document outlines our commitment to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone and offers guidelines for respectful communication practices.
- Support for highlighting tables in markdown edit mode, enhancing the editing experience.
- A new EnumBase class to incorporate common methods across enums, improving code reusability.
- Additional tests to increase coverage and ensure the stability of new features.

Changed
- Renamed the main package directory from app to notolog and moved main.py into the notolog directory to better reflect the project structure.
- Refined the handling of external and local links, as well as local files, now routing them through a unified links router for improved security and consistency.
- Updated the table styles in view mode across all themes for more consistent visual presentation.
- Eliminated the need for a preliminary empty line to highlight lists in markdown edit mode, enhancing the user experience by simplifying text formatting.

Updated
- Enhanced the language selection mechanism to prefer the system language by default, with a fallback to a predefined language if the system language is not available.
- Optimized the checking of image downloader statuses and the updating of signal processing for increased performance and reliability.

Fixed
- Corrected the processing for confirming external links to eliminate unintended navigational behaviors and enhance user security.
- Various minor fixes to address small issues in the codebase, enhancing stability and performance without significantly changing functionality.
