      config. To print the full config, repeat the option.

    - In case of emergency it is now possible to obtain chord brackets
      in lyrics and annotations.

    - Allow name based array access in config augment.

    - Font specifications in the config may now carry (some) properties.
      E.g. `pdf.fonts.comment_box : "sans 12; color=blue; frame=1"`.

    - Command line options `--even-pages-number-left` (`-L`) and
      `--odd-pages-numbers-left` are no longer functional. They did the
      wrong thing anyway. Use [`pdf.songbook`](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/chordpro-configuration-pdf/#songbook-pages) in the config file
      instead.

    !Highlights

    - Configuration files are now [Really Relaxed JSON](https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::Relaxed#REALLY-RELAXED-EXTENSIONS) files.
      These are much easier to write and maintain than JSON.
      Don't worry, everything is still backward compatible with the
      older JSON and slightly relaxed JSON formats. And ChordPro can
      [convert your config files](https://www.chordpro.org/chordpro/using-chordpro/#convert-config) for you.

    - Nick Berendsen kindly offered to create a native GUI for macOS.
      It looks great and behaves nicely in the way macOS applications should
      behave. And it doesn't have the restrictions on opening and saving
      of files that the 'classic' GUI suffers from.
      Thanks Nick!

    - ChordPro bundles free replacement fonts to be used instead of
      the corefonts. No configs or settings needed.
