Bug fixes
- [#95]: Squale used to rely on specific tools to compute statistics, which would give wrong information on the repository and statistic pages when those tools were not used.
- [#207]: on Windows, if the JRE was installed on a directory with a path containing spaces, Squalix would fail. This is now fixed.
Improvements
- [#194]: Possibility to add a comment when adding a manual score.
  - This allows an auditor to explain why he/she gave a specific mark for a manual practice.
- [#208]: Add more information on the application to analyze.

- Web UI : Several improvements have been made in Squale UI.
Documentation
- A getting started guide has been created, and the documentation in general has been improved.
