Compared to version 0.5.0, this release:
- allows conversion to sums of units (e.g. 4/3 ft → 1 ft + 4 in)
- allows non-integer exponents in expressions
- adds the ability to change the UI language
- gracefully handles datafile errors
- adds more information to the loading-success message, and adds it to
the About tab
- allows the user to not use the default datafiles
No new features will be added until the release of version 1.0.0.

Previously, any error in the unit or dimension file(s) crashes the

Units, and was included in 7Units for compatibility.

I will have to change a few things to fit this specification; all the
better that I made it instead of leaving behaviour unspecified!

The parameters "custom_unit_file", "custom_dimension_file" and
"custom_exception_file" can now be used to load custom unit, dimension
and exception files. Specify them more than once to load multiple
files.
I haven't yet added this to the GUI, and I probably won't, because you
already need to be able to edit text files to create this, so having a
GUI won't make it any more intuitive.

The user's config directory is taken as ~\AppData\Local\ on Windows and
is XDG-compliant elsewhere. The config file's location is <config
dir>/SevenUnits/config.txt. The SevenUnits directory is created if
nonexistent.
The previous location inside the git directory would not work for
someone actually installing and using 7Units, so this change was made.
