Removed:

- Removed possibility to automatically add braces via Option - Preferences - File - Store the following fields with braces around capital letters. Please use save actions instead for adding braces automatically.
- Removed button to refresh groups view. This button shouldn't be needed anymore. Please report any cases where the groups view is not updated automatically.
- Medline and GVK importer no longer try to expand author initials (i.e. EH Wissler -> E. H. Wissler).
- Removed not-working option "Select Matches" under Groups -> Settings.
