Release notes View Your Mind - vym 2.6.0

This version is mainly a bugfix release and the port to Mac OS X and Windows. Over the past years several attempts have been made by various developers to port vym to windows, finally with a new day time job I got access to a windows machine and filled the missing parts with code.

While vym has more than 150 automatic tests now, I certainly will have overlooked some bugs, especially I couldn’t test all windows versions out there.

Feel free to report any bugs or feature requests on https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/

Thanks for using vym!
