4.0.0 Release Candidate 3

Fix #65

3.0

Many things have changed since the last stable release. Here is a brief overview:

• move to pyqode 2.0 (see #36): more stable API and prettier editor but the folding panel has been temporarely removed (for performance reason)
• user interface has been redesigned (the menu and toolbar has gone, there is now a compile and run button inside the editor and a drop down button in the status bar for the most important actions). See #38
• compiler process management has been improved. We are now using QProcess instead of subprocess, this allow some neat things such as auto compile before run,... (#35)
• Mac OSX support #37
• add support for coding in free format
• add support for choosing the cobol standard (cobol85, cobol2002, Micro Focus compliant,...)
• add support for choosing the default comment indicator (which is now *>)
