In short - lots fixed, and cool stuff added!

[Go download](http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/regulator)

**version 2.0.1 beta**
\--------------

\-added: "Document Changed" dialog specifies the name of the document in question.
\-added: Intellisense in the Regex window.  Can be configured by changing the quick menu.config file.
\-added: Intellisense in the "Replace with" window. automatically list available named groups when typing "$" in the replace with input window
\-added: Regex Intellisense will auto-select regions user needs to fill out (behavior like in the snippets plugin)
 
\-fixed: Regex text would sometimes revert back to the last-saved text, causing data loss in the text
\-fixed: multiple "Document Changed" dialogs appeared before closing a document or the application
\-fixed: "Replace with" text and "Input  file" text were not loaded properly from saved projects
\-fixed: "Support" link in "About" dialog now works
