Bugfixes

• selecting all months or days gives correct error message
• action/component intent: extras with : were not being handled correctly
• brightness was not immediately restored after Auto-Brightness disabled
• Display Brightness actions created before 1.0.12 didn't have the Immediate Effect parameter set
• profile list: task option to add a task to an instant profile was showing wrong icon
• more dynamic sensor setup dependent on needs (fixed problem with %LIGHT popup)
• don't allow selection of %LIGHT if no light sensor on device
• wasn't catching running activities who didn't have the package name as a prefix
• action Send SMS: truncation of too-long SMS messages was still leaving the message slightly too long so it wasn't sent
• profile list: icon of 4th context in profile was too big
• renaming things in general, wasn't selecting previous name in text box
• wifi near: was scrapping whole check when tethering active, not just the wifi toggle
• task edit: changed colours and focus highlighting
• event Notification was allowing Tasker to be selected as owner, but Tasker-generated notifications are ignored anyway (corrected docs on that point too)
• task edit/profile list: was scrolling immediately when long-clicking item top or bottom of list
• restoring brightness and auto brightness at same time, ordering was sometimes wrong
• in a profile with a time context and any less power-hungry state context, if the non-time context went active while the display was off the alarm would not get set to trigger the time context.
• leaving Profile List via Back could result in long-press reaction from launcher

Changes

• changed: be more aggressive disabling wifi after Wifi Near toggled it
• don't check range of wait action parameters specified by variable (so can e.g. specify 600 secs rather than needing to split it up into mins etc)
• implementation of Received SMS radically changed
• Received SMS -> Received Text
• SMS XXX variables -> Text XXX variables
• moved task import to Menu / Profile Data
• check deletes in task edit screen if specified in prefs
• can't delete a profile-referenced task (until references are deleted)
• handle MMS with Received Text
• export profile to clipboard: specify anon instead of just a number if task/profile has no name
• some userguide tidying up
• changed: task edit list scrolling was jerky
• changed: check relevant receiver available for Scan Card action
• finished preparation for localization
• changed: state/action/event edit: resize entry window when soft keyboard comes up
• some built-in variables went dynamic
• notify actions, number parameter, manual range is 0-99, variable max is unlimited, but > 3 digits don't fit in status bar well
• change: don't allow anonymous widgets/shortcuts
