Many thanks madshi for this huge changelog

Anyway, I have some questions too:
- In "properties", "the display itself is calibrated to the following primaries / gamut", there is no sRGB option. Why? Some displays are calibrated for sRGB (e.g. PC monitors), not video standards.
- How do I know what the "native display bitdepth" is? I have a PC monitor with a TN panel, I'm assuming it is something like 6-7 bit, is there any way to know for sure? Also, what difference does it make?
- If I use an external 3dlut file for calibration, how does it interact with the options in the "properties" tab? Are the options in this tab disabled when using a 3dlut file? If they are, it would probably be best to make it known to the user, as it is quite confusing.
- In "color & gamma", "desired display gamma / transfer function", the default is "pure power curve". Wouldn't "BT.709/601 curve" be a better option, considering that's how video files are supposed to be encoded?
