Compile Steps:

VBSP:
	Added -micro: VBSP will warn when brushes are output with a volume less than this number (default: 1.0)
	Added -fulldetail: Mark all detail geometry as normal geometry (so all detail geometry will affect visibility)
	Added CS:GO only parameters:
		-StaticPropCombine
		-KeepSources
		-StaticPropCombine_ConsiderVis
		-StaticPropCombine_AutoCombine
		-StaticPropCombine_SuggestRules

VRAD:
	Added -low: Force VRAD to run as a low-priority process
	Added -OnlyStaticProps: Only perform direct static prop lighting 
	Added -nossprops: Globally disable self-shadowing on static props
	Added CS:GO only parameters:
		-StaticPropLightingFinal: Generate per-vertex prop_static lighting (uses higher/final quality processing)
		-StaticPropBounce: Enable static props to bounce light
		-AoScale: Scales the amount of baked AO

	Fixed missing CS:GO only warning on StaticPropSampleScale
	Fixed VRAD Luxel density using the wrong command line argument

VVIS:
	Added -low: Force VVIS to run as a low-priority process

PACK:
	Added -include: Packs specified file
	Added -exclude: Ignores specified file
	Added -excludedir: Ignores this folder when looking for assets
	Added -VPK: Pack assets into a VPK instead of the BSP (Portal2/L4D2 Only)
	Added -AddonInfo: Packs specified file as addoninfo.txt

CUSTOM:
	New compile step, allows user to run their own program at any point in the compile.
	Can supply command line arguments. Can use the same parameters as Hammer's expert compile parameters:
		$bsp_exe: Path to VBSP
		$vis_exe: Path to VVIS
		$light_exe: Path to VRAD
		$game_exe: Path to game

		$file: Name of the current map file with no extension
		$ext: File extension of the current map file
		$path: Path to the current map file
		$bspdir: Path to the bsp directory
		$gamedir: Path to the current game directory
		$bindir: Path to the bin directory
	Can be reordered to run before or after the normal compile steps

UTILITY:
	New compile step that provides some miscellaneous utilities:
		Generate Particle Manifest:
			Generates a particle manifest based on the particles used in the map
			Will scan through all pcfs to find the source of the particle
			If more than one file contains the same particle name, a window will prompt you to resolve the conflict
		
		Ignore Directory:
			Ignores all pcfs in specified directory for the Generate Particle Manifest step
		Ignore File:
			Ignores specific pcf for the Generate Particle Manifest step

		Update (Particle Manifest/Soundscape/Level Sounds) Version:
			Creates a copy of the previous version's (Particle Manifest/Soundscape/Level Sounds) with an updated name
			Takes into account map dev stage identifier (a, b, rc, v), version number, and minor releases (Ex. cp_map_a2b)

UI:

Added a filepicker/text input for specific parameters
Added a new screen for the Custom Program build step
Adjusted Error, Info, And Warning colors to be more readable
Removed text highlighting from disabled UI items when hovered
Fixed highlighted processes not having white text
Fixed error output summary from showing [sub:1]...
