-Codacity analysis and improved test coverage.

 Added
 ~~~~~
-- Compiled the core to JavaScript. It's possible to run the EduMIPS64 core
-  in the browser! A very simplistic prototype is available at 
-  www.edumips.org/edumips64.html.
-- Developer guide, with documentation useful for developers that want to
-  contribute.
+- Ability to set font size.
+- Show both register numbers and MIPS32 aliases (Issue #67)
+- Performance improvements (stop using exceptions for RAW stalls, improve use
+  of Swing threading).
 
 Fixed
 ~~~~~
-- Values that exceed data types' limits are silently discarded in .data (Issue
-  #1)
-- Parsing an invalid double should raise IrregularStringOfBitsException (Issue
-  #77)
-- Lots of code quality fixes, thanks to the Codacity analysis
-- Added more unit tests (including, but not limited to, FPU, SYSCALL and
-  out-of-order execution. Started tracking and improving code coverage
-- Fixed a flaky unit test (#125)
-- Added typed configuration keys (#130)
-- Removed all uses of the Singleton design pattern (Issue #83)
-- CRLF bug on windows (Issue #95)
-- The code size should not take into account BUBBLE instructions (Issue #84)
-- Better dependency handling (Issue #74)
-- Fixed handling of the %% placeholder in the parser
-- Fix no-GUI execution (#133) - the GUI is correctly not updated if the "sync"
-  option is disabled.
-- Fix CycleBuilder bug when the same instruction is in the pipeline multiple
-  times (#139)
-- Sped up CycleBuilder logic a lot, addressing the non-UI root cause of #132
