+      -  ✔ - Added support for language configured test suites, with
+         languages from installed Robot Framework version 6.1, or

+         **filter newlines** set to False.
+      -  🐞 - On Text Editor when Saving the selection of tests in Test
+         Suites (Tree) is cleared.
+      -  🐞 - Problems with COPY/PASTE in Text Editor have been reported
+         when using wxPython 4.2.0, but not with version 4.2.1, which we
+         now *recommend*.
+      -  🐞 - Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not
+         correct in Grid Editor.
+      -  🐞 - RIDE **DOES NOT KEEP** Test Suites formatting or
+         structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE
+         or Editors.
+
+   **New Features and Fixes Highlights**
+
+   -  Added support for Setup in keywords, since Robot Framework version
+      7.0.

+      they are separated by ... continuation marker. In Grid Editor use
+      \| (pipe) to separate lines.
+   -  Added support for new VAR marker, since Robot Framework version
+      7.0.
+   -  Added configurable style of the tabs in notebook pages, Edit,
+      Text, Run, etc. Parameter **notebook theme** takes values from 0
+      to 5. See wxPython, demo for agw.aui for details.
+   -  Added UI localization and support for Japanese configured test
+      suites, valid for Robot Framework version 7.0.1 or higher.
+   -  Fixed keywords Find Usages in Grid Editor not finding certain
+      values when using Gherkin.
+   -  Improved selection of items from Tree in Text Editor. Now finds
+      more items and selects whole line.

+   -  Fixed plugin Run Anything (Macros) not showing output and broken
+      actions.
+   -  Added actions on columns of Grid Editor: Double-Click or Right
+      Mouse Click, allows to edit the column name for Data Driven or
+      Templated; Left Mouse Click, selects the column cells.

+      settings.cfg file. Add the string parameter **file manager** in
+      the section **[General]**

+      Teardowns or Documentation.

+      Framework 3.2)
+   -  Added support for language configured test suites. Fields are

+   -  Fixed escaped spaces showing in Text Editor on commented cells
+   -  Improved keywords documentation search, by adding current dir to
+      search

+      Suites settings. This field will replace **Default** and **Force
+      Tags** settings, after Robot Framework 7.0

+      directories in Project Tree

+      colorized as valid keywords when typed in all caps in Grid Editor
+   -  Newlines in Grid Editor can be made visible with the **filter
+      newlines** set to False, by editing *settings.cfg*
+   -  Improve auto-suggestions of keywords in Grid Editor by allowing to
+      close suggestions list with keys ARROW_LEFT or ARROW_RIGHT
+   -  Improve Text Editor auto-suggestions by using: selected text, text
