What is new in 1.5.3
Drop one link list on top of another and they glue into a single panel of columns, each column keeping its own heading. A third makes three. Dropping a list beside another still just places it, so lists can sit touching without merging.
Drag a column's heading out to split it back into its own list, or onto a different list to move it there. Double click a heading to rename it. Split columns apart undoes a glue in one press.
Padding and column gap sliders for link lists.
A button in the header of every island and every link list turns it into the other, keeping the addresses, the names and the position.
