lt;li gt;saving 16-bit and/or stereo FLAC samples (broke in 20240529) lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Attempt to convert song messages from Modplug/OpenMPT IT files lt;/li gt;.

lt;li gt;File listings should now support paths with Unicode out of the box and will fall back to interpreting the raw characters if that fails. This includes the sorting algorithms, so if you've configured Schism to use lt;code gt;strcasecmp lt;/code gt; it will keep working as expected. lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Reimplement key repeat configuration (broke in 20220807) lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;Allow copying and pasting palette settings to the clipboard and actually save them when applied lt;/li gt;.
lt;li gt;saving the module's Schism version (broke in 20240529).
