This change substantially reduces audio player configuration code
complexity. The single remaining bool option - useInternalPlayer -
is enough for the binary audio player implementation choice.
Removing the useExternalPlayer option doesn't change the application GUI
behavior except for minor differences in one or two corner cases, which
could be classified as bugs fixed by this commit. For example, before
this commit, if the configuration file contained the following lines
<useExternalPlayer>0</useExternalPlayer>
<useInternalPlayer>0</useInternalPlayer>
an external player would be actually used for audio playback, but
neither of the two audio radio buttons would be checked in
Preferences GUI, and audioPlaybackProgram line edit would be disabled.
Whereas, after this commit, an external player is still used for
audio playback, but useExternalPlayer radio button is checked
in Preferences GUI, and the audioPlaybackProgram line edit is enabled.
Controls both context menus, in the dictionary bar and in the article view.
Can be adjusted in Preferences -> Interface -> Context menu dictionaries limit.
By default, it is set to 20.
The new History Pane features proper mouse and keyboard navigation,
multiple selection and ability to remove the selected entries,
plus a dynamic context menu. Additionaly, the History's size is now
configurable in Preferences.
Use Ctrl+H to show/hide the History Pane.
History Pane's titlebar can be styled via #historyPaneTitleBar, e.g.:
/* Colored header for the History Pane */
background: lightsteelblue;
margin: 2px;

This one can only play .wav files, but is far more stable than Phonon.
Any existing installations would auto-switch from Phonon to this one.
Any attempt to play a non-wav file would suggest switching to Phonon.
