2020/03/23	thinAir	NEW		During programming, having too many Call Tips on the screen can be disturbing. For this reason, the "showlevel" attribute has been added to the "key" node within the "\ thinBasic \ Lib \ ThinAir \ Syntax \ thinBasic \ thinBasic_CallTips * .xml" files. This new attribute can have a value from 1 to 9 where 1 indicates the maximum importance level while 9 indicates the minimum importance level. In this way, each user can set the level of importance of Call Tip he wants to work by hiding or showing the most appropriate level according to his needs <Key Name = "Dim" showlevel = "3"></Key>
2020/03/22	thinAir	NEW		Code Tips can now be divided into different XML file thanks to "source" attribute of <Module> node.
