 Significant updates on Split Window Plugin

 Code folding is now supported in the split editor as of revision 5626.
 
-Since revision 5633, the terminology used in the Split Window menu under the
-Tools menu has been improved to avoid ambiguity regarding the direction in
-which the split will take place.  Rather than using the word Horizontal for
-when the editors are laid out horizontally (the splitter is vertical), the
-words "Side by Side" are now used.  Likewise, when the editors are laid out
-vertically (the splitter is horizontal), the words "Top and Bottom" are now
-used.
-
-Previously, when the Split Window was active and the document currently being
-viewed in it was closed in the main documents notebook, the Split Window
-plugin would unsplit, even if there were other documents which could be viewed
-instead.  As of revision 5634, when this happens, the Split Window plugin will
-switch to view the current document in the main documents notebook instead.  If
-there are no more documents open, the Split Window plugin will unsplit.
-
-Probably the most significant improvement to the Split Window plugin is that
-it will now work on Microsoft Windows.  Previously, the plugin was using trick
-to work around a bug in the Scintilla widget Geany uses for its editor.  A
-side effect of this workaround was that it caused serious issues in Windows and
-so the plugin was disabled for the Windows build.  We fixed the bug in
-Scintilla and sent the fix to the Scintilla project where it was merged
-upstream.  Geany is no longer required to use the previously mentioned trick,
-and so the plugin will be re-enabled for the Windows build, with equivalent
-functionality as it has on other platforms.
