Bugfixes

actions Display Brightness, Auto-Brightness: was creating black flash in some situations on Android 4.4.2

action Element Web Control: Load URL: sets mode/source to direct/url so later reloads will reload the *new* url
auto-backups: on restore were not restoring enabled/disabled state
auto-backups: were not encrypting passcodes
action javascript: including libraries was blocking Tasker builtin function definitions
action Array Process: Remove Duplicates was buggy sometimes dependent on array content
action Scan Card: wasn't stopping action on failure
action Scan Card: wasn't working at all on KitKat, now just detects *new* files
UI variables tab: changes result in reevalution of execution queue e.g. for Wait Until
removed spurious warnings from action with icon parameters
wait/for at start of task with simultaneous previously existing wait was causing errors
Perform Task: when child rejected (queue full, duplicate etc), stop parent task with error
app creation: actions in kid-generated notifications weren't responding

Play Ringtone: playback wasn't being stopped via Stop action

action Send Intent: wasn't stopping task on error (e.g. permission failure)
exclude nested brackets when matching arrays
another attempt at the jump-to-top-after-long-click in task edit
task selection on main screen: was jumping back to marked task when slow scrolling (Android bug)
Run Shell: root shell timeout wasn't effective
Variable Clear: no var specified was crashing in some circumstances
Note3: removed fix for different values SDK >= 19 (Samsung apparently changed back to standard Android pattern)
click on AB item in scene, %scene_name wasn't being populated in resulting task, other params were wrong, changed to %item_label and %item_index
intermediate settings reapply: use high-priority system macro to prevent collisions and blocking
Menu / Exit, Save And Exit: wasn't reloading monitor unless prefs had also been modified
variable references (%%) was allowing modification of builtin variables
JS: alert() wasn't showing title correctly in some cases
action Say/SayToFile: wasn't leaving enough time to initialize for Google's new (large) voices, up to 20s

Perform Task with equal or lower priority: occasionally parent next task would execute before child first
Say, Say To File, some Plugins: queue was not being reprocessed if Wait was simultaneously ongoing
temp files on SD from some operations weren't being deleted
Run Log: occasional crashes upon leaving while file is changing
UI lock wasn't bringing up keyboard automatically
changing array index wasn't triggering array change in some situations
app creation: icons used in notify actions could cause crashes in some circumstances
action plugin: Never timeout was stopping after an hour
plugin lists weren't alphabetic
Run An Action: action edit was finishing if file selection dialog was used
state plugins: requery when the plugin package is updated
state Calendar Entry: UI wasn't allowing variables in Calendar parameter (despite showing selector...)

actions Variable Search Replace/Section/Convert: allow use of builtin var when Replace/Store In parameter not selected

scene element webview: (post JellyBean) all JS on page has access to file urls (as was the case prior to JB)
don't write human-readable data to SD on backup, just causes confusion
auto-backup data must be regenerated, takes a lot longer when Allow Phone Access is checked
WebView/JS: enable debugging when Tasker system log debugging enabled (KitKat)
task edit: pressing Play Buttin in multi-select mode only executes the selected actions
action Scan Card: on KitKat+ whole card scans wait for scan to complete before continuing task
state Wifi Near: shorter scan time and power usage when APs present relevant to all required states
