Release 7.0 Beta 2

• Support for Microsoft PowerShell.
• Lexer added for Magik. C++ folder handles final line better in some cases.

• The styling buffer may now use all 8 bits in each byte for lexical states with 0 bits for indicators.
• Bash lexer handles octal literals.
• C++/JavaScript lexer recognizes regex literals in more situations.

• Bug fixed where setting background color of calltip failed.
