   * Added the `motion account' command to open the license account page.

+    `WeakRef.new(obj)' and follows CRuby's WeakRef stdlib class. Passed

+    to a WeakRef object whose reference has been prematurely collected will

+    once the runtime is able to deal with cyclic references.
   * Improved the detection of file dependencies to handle absolute paths.
