Released v1.17.0!

A fair amount of goodies in this one

.

There's the on-animator mimic mode used by KFMon to replace the boot progress bar, which didn't make the latest release because that basically started as a random post-release experiment ;p.

Error handling in the CLI tool is now extra verbose, as discussed above.

There's the line-breaking feedback discussed above, too.

Also on the OT/TTF side of things, the font size can now be specified as a decimal, which should allow finer-grained control over the final rendering

.

On the fixed-cell font rendering side of things, Spleen has been updated to 1.0.5, and a couple of Amiga fonts have been imported (Topaz+ A1200 & MicroKnight+), as well as the VGA variant (8x16) of the IBM font.
The LF glyph is now always replaced by a space, to account for fonts where it is visible.

There's a bunch of minor performance improvements all over, but especially for the fixed-cell font rendering.

In the continuing trend of "RGB565 is the worst", there's also a fix for a sneaky color accuracy issue in some corner-cases, that mainly affected progress bars @16bpp.
