New sweep mode for arc command

Rayon now allows users to draw arcs using a sweep angle; this new mode was added to the arc command.

New array command

Rayon now offers a linear array command, allowing users to duplicate any entity multiple times along a given linear direction. Shortcut AR .

Ability to reorder canvases

Canvases can from now on be reorderd manually, like layers or entitties, directly in the layer panel.

Library semantic search

Libraries got a much-needed improvement: their search is from now on semantic, meaning that Rayon can find matches to users' keywords that are not exact matches, but rather close-by matches, keywords in other languages than english, or even find results based on the interpretation of users' keywords. This makes library searching much more effective.

New shortcuts

A handful of shortcuts have been added to Rayon, to allow faster access to important settings, tools and options.
