Two-finger pinching can be used to change the font size in the Open/Help/Rule screens.
Fixed a problem with the Open screen's font size being too large on small devices.
Fixed an error that prevented Rule info from being displayed.
Fixed a bug that could prevent pasting into a bounded grid.
Most links in Help > Online Archives and References should now work (some will fail if using Android 7 or older).
Supplied patterns no longer include .lua/zip/rle3 files.
