Regular update V1.37

• Resolved the issue that the framerate drops severely in the menu view when all sets are unlocked.
  
• The hint system for variants

  and combinational variants with

  [/spoiler] should be much faster for larger boards now (thanks to xxuurruuii for suggesting the optimization)
  

• Fixed several issues in the game credits (thanks to Fermata4)
  
• Fixed a bug that pressing enter during a pop-up message sometimes crashes the game

Regular update V1.30

• Added a UI button for board auto-completion when it is applicable. Auto-completion is a function that auto-completes the board when the remaining empty cells are all mines or all non-mines, previously only accessible by keyboard shortcuts (the space bar key by default).
  
• Fixed a bug that incorrectly showed the unlock condition of the +! set in !! sets
  
• Minor tweaks in Russian translations (thanks to NovaFlag and Qubix)
