Introduction to fluent menu builder
We've added a new fluent menu builder to the library. This builder provides a more intuitive and readable way to construct menus, making it easier for developers to create complex menu structures without requiring the many static definitions of the past. We've added this builder because on most machines with moderate sized menus, the overhead of this method is relatively low....

Working with large numbers - EditableLargeNumberMenuItem
tcMenu supports Large numbers for editing, with values up to 12 digits in total, and it can optionally handle negative values too. The underlying storage is a bit packed BCD array.
