- upstream release 0.7.0b
* First release of RKWard to be based on KF5 (version 5 of the

Double click on object in Workspace browser tries to open reference page, not object viewer, if the object is outside of .GlobalEnv
Limit the number of debug log-files to keep (at most three, each, for frontend and backend)
Remove Windows-only UI for setInternet2()-option (no longer available in R, with setInternet2(TRUE) the default since R 3.2.2)
Remove startup wrapper script (moving the still-needed functionality into the main executable)
Preview status messages can now be closed
Show the message accompanying rk.show.files() or rk.edit.files() inside the main window, instead of a separate dialog
File browser gains "Rename" context menu action
File selection fields in plugin dialogs remember the last used directory (per session), and check for a valid selection
